Disable mouse zoom plug-in.

This seems very useful however I fail to install it. Anybody knows how its done?

Installation

Simply unzip the plugin and drop it under Resources/plugins in X-Plane. Then define your mouse-zoom-allow function as described above and that's it. There is no further configuration required.

Also be sure to use the compiled plugin, not the source

Thanks, that was my mistake. Happens about 50% of the time I download something from GitHub.

Hi fellas, I still don't understand how to run this.  I place the plugin in the proper spot, then what?  How do I "define your mouse-zoom-allow function?"  I mean specifically?  Can someone post a screenshot of how to do this as I'm a newbie and totally baffled by this despite trillions of tries

Inside the zip file is a readme.md file. Just open that with your favorite text editor and all will be explained :)

Thanks but that’s the thing, I have absolutely NO idea what he’s talking about.  This looks like coding to me.  I don’t understand coding.

Just put the contents of the zip (keep the folder structure as is) in the Resource/plugins folder as described and set it up in your keyboard settings. I tried it out and it works great :)

Hold ctrl-alt+z to allow zooming

or toggle it with

Shift-Ctrl+z

^ These are what I chose you can choose your own key board shortcuts / combinations.

Excellent!  Thank you Glenn, this is exactly what I was looking for, I really appreciate this!

Just to say that doesn't work with XCamera

[Pat Mussotte 92]

Alleluiah! This plugin is THE must have for XPlane.

ColonelX and airboeing thank you so so much🤣🙏

Has anyone gotten this to work in xplane 11.50?

[CFIJose 5,485]

Good question! It's INOP in B9.

[Colonel X 1,430]

It's not working, so I curbed it. Maybe there will be an update.

I use X-Camera and you can disable the zoom button on different views you create.
