DCS FNG looking for zoom view/keyboard command

[Airwolf466]

Good Day, All. I'm a long time flight simmer , but new to DCS Hornet. I've been fairly successful mapping control ( using 80% DCS,20% SST)but am unable to get zoom working.

I have a Saitek x-65 and TIr5.

I would like to use the scroll wheel for zoomview , but in the control section the scroll wheel isn't recognized. My SST profile has it set to scroll wheel fore and aft.

I'm also looking for a keyboard chart and am seeking the Group's opinion on what's the best reference, both for DCS set up and Hornet system usage. I have NATOPS and Chuck's Guide.

If your scroll wheel produces an "axis" signal (check under Windows/Devices and printers/Game Controller Settings) you should be able to map it to "Zoom View" (under axis controls). I have mapped the slider on my TM WH Throttle to this command and it works fine.

 

However, I'm a bit puzzled about your statement "My SST profile has it set to scroll wheel fore and aft". This sounds like commands triggered by a ON/OFF/ON toggle switch, and that would have to be bound to the appropriate switch commands "Zoom in slow" and "Zoom out slow".

I'm struggling with your other questions as I find them open-ended. You may want to be more specific.
