LNM doesn't hold zoom level

[Hans Hartvelt 11]

I had to install LNM on another pc. I installed the latest version. But now I have the problem that LNM holds a standard zoom level. When I zoom out, the map holds this adjusted zoom level for about 5 seconds and then returns to its standard zoom level. I don't know how to prevent this. I have never experiences this problem before.

I found that, if you zoom using the on-screen sliding scale on the right of the map, the scale stays as you select.  If I use my scroll wheel on the mouse it does not stay.

kfd, indeed, I use the scroll wheel on my mouse. But I did this for many years and it never caused this problem.

It depends on what you've selected for aircraft centering.

See here for options about aircraft centering in LNM: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/OPTIONS.html#simulator-aircraft

LNM menu -> "Tools" -> "Options" -> page "Simulator Aircraft".

Alex,

Thank you very much for your quick and clear response and apologies for my retarded reply.

Yes I found that the default option 'Center map on aircraft and next flight plan waypoint' was active. So I switched to the other option 'Do not use box mode for following the aircraft. Move the map constantly'.

As you said, the zoom level remains constant now.

Perfect. I decided to use this as a default mode in next LNM release because the center aircraft and waypoint is too confusing at first.
