November 15, 20178 yr This was something I think I could do did back in FS2004, but not since. You could hold down a key combination to make either the plane or the outside environment change its zoom factor, and it made for wonderful crisper outside screenshots that you can't do w/ the default behavior in P3D because the closer you get to the plane exterior the closer you get to the background environment which gets more and more fuzzy/pixilation of sorts.

November 15, 20178 yr Commercial Member Hello Noel, With the current sims, I would simply move the camera viewpoint in closer to the aircraft model while keeping the camera zoom at the same level. I don't think that the sim does this natively though, except through pre-configured camera definitions. You will probably want one of the many camera control addons out there, one that allows you to freely move the camera even when in outside view. Best regards LORBY-SI

This would make no sense. I guess you are talking about the external views and what you are probably remembering is that you can change the 'chase distance' as well as the zoom. From memory this is mapped to CTRL- and CTL= in FSX, so maybt he same in P3D. MarkH https://www.youtube.com/@AlmostAviation AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D / 64Gb DDR5 / Zotac RTX 5070 Ti / 2560 x 1440 display
November 15, 20178 yr Yes, CTRL - works in P3D. Brings you closer to the plane without changing the zoom of the background. Johan Pienaar
November 15, 20178 yr EZDOK will do the trick. Regards, Chris -- PC: Intel 13900K, Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090, 64GB Fury Beast DDR5 RAM; Display: Varjo Aero VR

Don't want any other camera apps so this hopefully will do the trick. Cheers n Thanks!

When I use 'Ctrl -' BOTH the external plane and I guess chase distance change to the same degree, but incrementally so one can make smaller adjustments than just using +/-. I'm using P3D V3.0.

Then it's SHIFT- and SHIFT=. The other one is (as you have found) fine zoom control.
