topshelf49 Posted February 24, 2024 Posted February 24, 2024 I have a Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 throttle & Virpil Constellation Alpha Prime (r) joystick. I am trying to zoom out in the cockpit so I can see the instruments without having to look down everytime. I cannot see the artificial horizon or any gauge below that without having to lower my head, not my eyes. I did bind a switch on the joystick that did that , "zoom out" which simulated me moving the seat back. That no longer works and I've tried every button or knob to the "zoom out" (not zoom axis) with no luck. I have bond "zoom axis" to my flap lever and that works, but that brings the instrument panel even closer. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. I am using TrackIr which does allow me to look down and see the gauges but again, I feel that I'm sitting too close to the dashboard.
Lixma 06 Posted February 24, 2024 Posted February 24, 2024 Try this. 1. Go to Misc. Options and ensure you have enabled saving of snap-views. 2. Jump into cockpit of aircraft and use Right Shift * and Right Shift / keys on the keypad to adjust your field of view (Zoom) to taste. 3. When happy hit RALT and Keypad 0 to save FOV. 4. Go into Controls and find these lines... 5. Bind Zoom In to a button on your controller, and bind Zoom normal to the 'button-off' function of the same button. This will let you zoom in for as long as the button is held. 6. If you want Zoom on an axis instead then bind it in the Axes tab.
