Went back to XPlane...

Ok sorry for clickbait title this isn't ONE of those threads.  But truth is I loaded up XPlane the other night to upgrade my copy to 11.50 (Vulkan), I was part of the open BETA before and tbh was just curious so I updated everything took it for a spin and it gave me a chance to try my recently purchasing HOTAS Warthog and Throttle, previously I used the Saitek Yoke which to be fair is a child's toy in comparison!  

Anyway back to the point of my post, I noticed (but had forgotten) just how FAR you can zoom in using the mousewheel in XPlane - super useful for spotting the field.  In MSFS the zoom function using mousewheel only zooms in a few clicks (or rotations)???  Is there any way to increase the mousewheel zoom function in MSFS because I often struggle to "see the field".  In my mind on a clear day I should be able spot the field from 10NM out but this is impossible in MSFS unless I'm completely familiar with the area and can use local landmarks/rivers/POI etc.

Thanks

I am not in game at the moment but it is possible this is something you can change in the camera options in the in-game setup ? 

Worth a look anyway.
