Cockpit ZOOM bindings

Featured Replies

Is there a way i can rebind this feature? It's driving me nuts when I'm on the overhead panel and use the middle mouse wheel to flick switches, and if my cursor isn't in the exact location it'll zoom in/out. I would like to add a CTRL to the cockpit zoom function so that I don't accidentally zoom while flicking switches, but MSFS won't allow me. Is there a way to do this?

Don’t think that would be possible, sadly. I’ve found this, maybe it could help:

here’s the solution…for zooming with the mouse, bind zoom = mouse wheel AND mouse wheel button…meaning only zoom when mouse wheel is pressed in, and turned.

Unfortunately that was what I had it set to, but with this method it doesn't work with PMDG's customized mouse controls. 😞

Bummer. What about pressing mousewheel (midclick) + scroll?

Alternatively, you can set custom views that gives your q zoomed in view of the glareshield. This way your mouse clicks would be more accurate.
