I think I might have mentioned my problem with zooming with the mouse before, but it's really driving me nuts that I can't figure out how to fix it.

I used to be able to zoom in & out with the scroll wheel, but somehow I must have messed up the settings, cause now nothing happens when I use the scroll wheel. It's both inside and external views which is broken. and I have tried setting my General controls back to Mouse 2024 Transversal , and Airplanes controls to Mouse 2024 Planes, hoping to get the default settings back, but no such luck..

Any advice or solution will be greatly appreciated,

I had a similar thing not too long ago. The left button wouldnt hold and drag. followed these steps and it seemed to cure it

If you go into Settings > Controls and the Mouse page, you should be able to set the mouse profile back to the standard one (or make a copy of it).

If you made changes to the standard mouse profile, then MSFS would have forced you to rename it as a new profile. Which should mean that the standard profile is still there and should provide all features, including mouse wheel zooming.

That's the problem cause I did create another copy, but even setting it back to the default (Mouse 2024 Transversal & Mouse 2024 Planes), it still doesn't work. If I open the EFB with the Tab key, I have no problem zooming in/out on the map. I have considered un/reinstalling MSfs2024, but I honestly don't think that will make any difference, since from what I understand, all settings are up in the cloud, and will just be copied back.

Isn't it possible to upload pictures in this group without having a website to link them from? Maybe a picture or two could better show my mouse settings?

Why not just do a short Utube video?

When I saw your post title, I briefly thought it said, My Wife is Driving me Nuts! I jumped in thinking we had something in common!

I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to do that, so that's out of the question, I might be able to take some screenshots of my mouse settings if I could find out how to upload them, that's as far as my computer knowledge goes. 😉

A mouse wheel will only zoom the cockpit view in and out if Zoom Cockpit View and Unzoom Cockpit view are assigned to the two mouse wheel direction rotations. Otherwise it will not zoom in and out with the wheel. Period.

But you have 3 different presets: General, Airplanes, and Specific. And each of those 3 can be assigned to all aircraft, or not. I use Airplanes and Specific presets titled: NONE. Those 2 presets contain no assignments at all. And then apply both to all aircraft. That way they never affect anything at all.

Next I go to the General preset and make a copy of Mouse 2024 Transversal and name it something, like maybe X. I use X when flying, so I also apply it to all. I then start changing anything on the default mouse assignments that I don't like. For instance, I don't like the cockpit view to perhaps zoom when I am trying to spin a knob on the panel. So I removed all zoom functions from the mouse wheel. To make controlling the knobs easier for me. I use buttons on my Alpha Yoke to zoom the cockpit view instead.

I've had a problem in the last couple of days when suddenly, without pressing any buttons, my mouse is free-looking around the flight deck. Usually I have to press and hold the right mouse button, but it seems to be doing it on its own at various points of the flight. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I finally figured out what the problem was, it WAS Chaseplane (probably it was my fault), just one little button Scroll to zoom was in the wrong position. But now it's working again, so all is good. :-)
