Tycoon Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Is there a different way to zoom in and out from the cockpit view than the other DCS modules? For the mustang and blackshark the default zoom keys work fine, but I cant seem to do any type of zooming in FC3. I am probably doing something stupid but I have no idea. Thanks.

Tycoon Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Doesn't work, works for the other modules, but not FC3, and I dont think I changed any assignments.
leapingrodent Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Are you using TrackIR? If so then sometimes it maps zoom to trakir Z axis which would prevent you using a key to control the zoom. If you're not using trackir then I dunno. Edit: Mouse wheel scroll can also zoom in and out in FC3, maybe that will work for you. Edited November 13, 2014 by leapingrodent

Thanks. it was same here till i changed the trackir default lua. the zoom problem only affected only my russian planes. and i copied f-15 trackir default lua. and changed with russian aircrafts default lua in their trackir folder. dcsworld/mods/aircraft/flaming cliffs/input..... now zoom problem corrected i hope this helps
theropod Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) return { axisCommands = { {combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_PITCH'}}, action = iCommandViewVerticalAbs, name = 'Absolute Camera Vertical View'}, {combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_YAW'}}, action = iCommandViewHorizontalAbs, name = 'Absolute Camera Horizontal View'}, {combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_X'}}, action = iCommandViewHorTransAbs, name = 'Absolute Horizontal Shift Camera View'}, {combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_Y'}}, action = iCommandViewVertTransAbs, name = 'Absolute Vertical Shift Camera View'}, {combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_Z'}}, action = iCommandViewLongitudeTransAbs, name = 'Absolute Longitude Shift Camera View'}, {combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_ROLL'}}, action = iCommandViewRollAbs, name = 'Absolute Roll Shift Camera View'}, }, } this is correct example in trackir default lua.

theropod Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 i hope they'll fix this entries on later updates otherwise we have to change manually everytime after updates.
Tycoon Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 I use trackIR so that might be it,what do I need to change exactly?
leapingrodent Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Go into controls for the Plane(s) you're having trouble with, go to axis commands and look at the far right in the TrackIR column, down at the bottom will be "Zoom" and if it is mapped to TrackIR Z axis you'll need to clear the control and then look up the list for "Forward/Backwards" and map your trackir Z axis to that. See my attached screenshot. 1
Tycoon Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks leapingrodent! Man I never would have figured that out but it works now.
