I'm still zooming with the scroll wheel with an occasional "slip" into zooming the whole frame when adjusting displays.

However, I've found the wheel to be wonderful for making minute adjustments on throttle quadrant controls such as throttle, prop, etc.

When I'm adjusting VS, vertical speed, I initially move the wheel the wrong direction 100 percent of the time.

For me it's the same as plugging in a USB-A connector. Wrong the first time. Wrong the second time. Then realize that first time was correct after all.

I I had to disable scroll-wheel zoom altogether because it was driving me nuts 😉

Where do you disable this?

This is my main problem: I want to adjust a value and accidentally zoom in or out.

That is so true. I now put a small 'dot' sticker on the plastic housing in an attempt to stop this annoying phenomenon 😉

Control Options > Mouse > Camera > Cockpit Camera > Zoom cockpit view and Unzoom cockpit view

I have bound these to one of the mouse side buttons + scroll wheel. No conflicts when setting dials or controls.

Undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it, Sir?

Thanks, I'm not at my simming machine right now and I was trying to remember the names of the bindings. 👍
