Cockpit zooming out

Featured Replies

Hi all

Is it possible to zoom out further in the cockpit. I have the cowin MD500e and would like to zoom a little further back than the default mouse wheel zoom 

 

Cheers

Blimey, it must look like you are travelling at a thousand miles an hour zoomed out that far

I set 2 buttons to zoom in and out/deleted the mouse wheel as I use it for ac controls. Pushing the zoom out button now gives me the max they allow.

Thanks 

Assigned keyboard but got the same zoom out as mouse wheel 

There is obviously a max zoom out that can not be overridden or maybe I am missing something

Go into Options > General > Camera I think the standard value for zoom is 50, you can set that higher but it will affect all your custom camera views as well if you use that option.

Thanks

Tried that but there is obviously a limited which is 0. Unlike fsx which let you move the eyepoint further back

You can move the eyepoint independently of the zoom factor, they are not the same thing.
