NavyAce Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Hello, I am hoping someone can help me with a small problem. When I visited Duxford for the airshow this past July I spoke with Chris Ellis, who was kind enough to walk me through the steps needed to create a new mission file. However, when I got home and attempted to follow my notes, I couldn't get past the second step, which was to select an airfield with the mouse, and then zoom in to establish a parking spot on the apron. When I selected an airfield I couldn't get the screen to zoom in. I tried using the RShift+Num* keys and the Num*+Enter keys and various other combinations, including the standard = and - keys used by FSX, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to zoom in on a selected airfield? Thanks for your help. NavyAce Wayne
Buzzles Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Use the mouse wheel :) Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
WinterH Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 If your mouse has a scrolling wheel, that should do the trick. edit : sniped :) Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script

Maulkin Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Whoa... What's that? You can select a parking area? I thought it was always random.

Soulres Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Whoa... What's that? You can select a parking area? I thought it was always random. How do you select one? click the plane and on the bottom right (only if the plane is set to start on the ramp) should be 1-60

NavyAce Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks for all the replies. The mouse wheel did indeed do the trick. Did you get my PM Maulkin? let me know if the info helped. NavyAce 1
ApoNOOB Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Also a little tipp: With ground charts like these http://www.ariescon.com/index14.html you can skip the trial & error part of finding out where every parking slot is! :)
