I do expirence the exact sam problem ! I cant zoom in or out neither with the standard keys unless I unplugg my Saitek X-45. Even If i DONT assign the zoom vie to any axis, it recenters automatically....
the view always jumps back (recenters on the zoom axis), and I cant do anything about it. Seems to be a Flaming Cliffs Bug because it even exists, when my jostick is disconnected! It worked fine on 1.02 too! But I had the sam problems with the FC Demo, but I did not care about that, that time.
Now as I bought the addon it really pi...es me off, as I cant find any solution, neither here in this forum...
Pls help, the game suxx withought the ability to zoom in/out while in the cockpit.
