Can I Permanently Change the Zoom In Prepar3D v4 ?

[Manny 1,293]

Anyone has a solution for this in P3Dv4? I have a triple monitor surround view and the default view (VC) is zoomed out wide angle.. I wand it to be 1.0 

 

Hmm...

Why not just use ChasePlane?

Hit the backspace key. View (set to default -1x) When you use the + - keys to zoom in and out backspace will return view to 1.

That's how I do it. Works perfect.

Edit the configuration file in local data \AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Prepar3D_Default.fxml.  Change the zoom value for the various cameras.  I set Camera.1.2 "Virtual Cockpit" to a value of "0.80" from "0.2999"

Yep, it is the best and the most elegant way to config your cams and is aircraft specific.

Chase plan is not up to date yet I had issues when tried to use it with prepar3d V4 and did not work no updates yet

Make sure you have a simconnect.xml in your folder, many people had this issues include me I found out just copying a simconnect.xml into  P3Dv4 works very well.

Where do you get the sim connect program to install or where it should show in my programs I can not see it ? 

 

Many thanks

Late to the party, as I just installed P3DV4 two days ago... thanks for the tip! This works a treat...
