CJ4 pfd range zoom - map to key?

[Paul_Yorks 97]

It is frustratingly hard to find the exact spot to zoom the pfd in and out, especially in turbulence.  It reminds me of Monkey Island pixel-spotting!

I can't see there's an option to map it to a key/hotas button - anyone found a way? Or is there another method I am missing?

There's no default key assignment for it sadly.  There is an AAO script on FS.TO which otherwise works great but, although it includes scripts to zoom the map, they don't work!   So as far as I know, no way of doing it other than with the mouse at the mo.

Are you definitely targeting the correct knob?   The zoom does work, but it sure is fiddly to change during flight.  The clickspots are very small.  Oh I've just thought, do you have 'lens correction' on in the MSFS graphics settings?    If so, it makes clickspots even smaller (acknowledged bug), which in this case would make them almost impossible to operate!
