Assigning zoom to an axis

Featured Replies

Hello!

Can anyone comment on whether this is possible in MSFS?

 

I want to bind the slider axis of the TM Warthog Throttle to zoom the view in the sim. I dont see any default variables to set the zoom, only ones to INC or DEC, which isn't what I need (I dont think?).

Any guidance is appreciated!

bumping this in hopes someone can help

I have done it with MSFS controls options. I don't think it is possible wit AAO, because I don't see an event for it.

There are the following simulator variables that control zoom for these three cameras, and that can be read from and set too:

(A:COCKPIT CAMERA ZOOM, Percent)
(A:CHASE CAMERA ZOOM, Percent)
(A:DRONE CAMERA FOV, Percent)

There are various ways to assign them to an axis, but in the current retail version you need a script if you want to control it with a MIDI axis. 
Since you will probably want to control the zoom for all three cameras with a single slider, I would do this:
Script Group: Cameras
Script Name: Zoom
Script Code: (L:Cameras-Zoom) s0 l0 (>A:COCKPIT CAMERA ZOOM, Percent) l0 (>A:CHASE CAMERA ZOOM, Percent) l0 (>A:DRONE CAMERA FOV, Percent)

This script you assign to your axis using the "Select Event" box. Then you set Axis min to 0 and Axis max to 100
