hnbdgr Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hi! Where can i find a quick zoom setting in DCS? In IL2 and Blitz there's a quick zoom setting that allows you to zoom to a desired FOV for the duration of the button press. Once the user lets go off the button zoom reverts to last remembered zoom. Essentially it's a decoupled snap view, where the head position doesn't change, only the zoom and there's a transition "zoom" animation which is preferred to the usual snap zoom effect. As the latter can be jarring and make you lose track of your target sometimes. any help appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the ones in that menu section were all VR-specific? Or has that changed now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnbdgr Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 yeah so it looks like there's a bit specifically for VR... Ok I didn't find any Quick zoom options in DCS apart from some mods maybe. But then if i get used to a mod enabled zoom and then decide to play online i won't be able to do it... so i don't want to do that. The functionality I'm after is: On Button press, zoom in (either instantly, but better yet smoothly progressively) On Release - zoom goes back to previous level. (again best if it's smooth and progressive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Afair default slow zoom keys are Num+"*" and Num+"/" or just mouse wheel. I used to have it bound to HOTAS plus one button for reset view/zoom like what Num+"5" does. What module you want to use it with?

hnbdgr Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 yes but that's several button presses. I'm looking for a single button press solution. Let me explain: one button. Button Press - camera zooms in to a preset zoom level from current zoom level. duration of smooth zoom 0.5 seconds or so. Ideally this speed is adjustable. Button Release- camera zooms in to previously held zoom level, smoothly in 0.5 seconds. So instead of 3 buttons I only need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
