X52 Pro Slider Zoom Problem (Jittery Screen) SOLVED - Profile Inside

A software solution to a hardware problem.

I hope that you guys will find it useful.

BS Cockpit Zoom.zip

It is based on the concept of tripwires.

The attached profile offers 4 levels of zoom (pushing the slider away from you) and another additional 4 levels in the reverse direction. Pulling the slider fully back (towards you) resets the zoom immediately.

Zooming out at anytime is achieved by pressing the pinkie button and pulling the slider back towards you.

You can also customize your own level of zoom by:

1) Increasing or decreasing the time interval of the key presses (/ or *)

2) Adding or removing the number of trigger zones or "tripwires".

For example, you may wish to have fewer levels of zoom but with a greater magnification value (key is pressed longer) for each zoom level. Alternatively, you may wish to have more zoom levels with smaller increases of magnification for each level.

Please keep in mind that if you put too many trigger zones, you will reduce the effectiveness of the buffer zones (areas with no key mapping) that are keeping the slider problem at bay.

Note: If the view appears to zoom in and out (like an autofocus camera) when you press and release the pinkie button, the slider position is too close to the trigger zone and the hardware is causing the spiking (yes, the old problem). In this case, just push the slider slightly forward or backward to move it again into the buffer zone. The zoom level will once again remain stable when you press and release the pinkie button.
