Invert axis on targeting pod zoom. Strange behavior on zoom axis

Pls invert the zoom axis on the targeting pod (or the radar elevation cause they are linked). Im using my thumbwheel on my throttle. As it is now. When im not using the pod, if I push the wheel forward my radar elevation goes down, which for me feels wierd. If I invert that axis, its the zoom on the pod that gets wierd. You push forward on the wheel and it zooms back.

 

Also, if you zoom in max in wide FOV on the targeting pod. Then you think that the pod would be max zoomed in in the narrow FOV also, but you have to move the thumbwheel back and forth to make it zoom in again,, It just doesnt feel right.

 

I think its something to look at..

In your options you can invert them there is a checkbox.

 

The axis for radar antenna elevation is also used for zooming in the WMD7, but the direction is reversed between the two. For example, if you have a wheel that you spin up to raise the elevation and spin down to lower it, it would make sense to spin the wheel up to zoom in and down to zoom out, but currently it's reversed. If you reverse the axis in the controls, then it will reverse both so that wheel up = zoom in and wheel down = zoom out, but then wheel up = radar down and wheel down = radar up.

Exactly, on all wester aircraft that share control for the radar elevation and TGP zoom like the F-18 if you scroll the wheel forward it elevates the radar up and the same wheel also zoom in the TGP when you scroll forward. It just feels more natural.

 

But maybe it should be like this on this aircraft, I have no ide. But it just doesnt feel natural thou.

An option in the special menu to swap the direction relationship between the pod zoom and radar elevation would make it much better. The Hornet and F-16 also need this.

I would love to merge the up/down radar elevation buttons and the zoom in the tpod because they are different keys so I need to use 4 keys in the hotas for doing somerhing that should take just 2 like in the hornet(i have no axis for this)

 

^ This.

As long as you can reverse the relationship between the two different functions. Depending on where the button is up/down won’t work well together with Zoom in/out.
