free f1view from flight1 allows this - roll the mousewheel to move, not zoom, closer or farther. I take the original point - even close up a large airliner makes me feel like I the viewer am either a giant or a normal person looking at a very very large, detailed rc model, no doubt for all the reasons explained above.regards,Markhttp://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/markrey/lds1.jpgXPHomeSP2/FS9.1/3.2HT/1GIG/X700pro256

"free f1view from flight1 allows this"thanks , I'll take a look!

I also agree. I would realy like FS to provide that sense of majesty that you get when seeing real aircraft (big or small) in person. The currect perspective makes me feel like I am 20 feet tall in the sim.

Anyway - what gives with the VIEW OPTIONS for the outside view. The picture below is supposed to be zoom =1, distance =20 ft, alt = 6 ftIt doesn't look anything like that to me!Barryhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/128885.jpg

Ok gentlemen. Here's one. What does it in for me is when coming in on approach and seeing these 15-20 story trees. Almost every tree in fs2004 are wider than the highways. That is ridiculous and makes it feel like your traveling at 30mph. Silly, but heh, what the heck. It's still a hobby of mine that I enjoy but hopefully someday we will have a more accurate representation of size in Flight Sim.My 2 cents worth.RegardsTim
