Zoom Function

Post by robjrc »

Just purchased the A2A Cherokee 180, impressed with the detail and realism. Have one issue; understand there is no 2D mode so how can I Zoom out in the 3D mode to view the whole cockpit ? The screen is so close it blocks out the other instruments..THX

(-) and (+) keys work for me. May be other key combinations but this is an easy way.

Enjoy the plane!

Hello, you can use all the normal FSX commands to move your viewpoint.

Thanks,

If you use the numpad with it on and off you will in one instance get the head swivel movement and in the other get head movement itself to move the viewpoint up down, left, right and backwards, forwards. This is all default stuff and you can map it under FSX settings screen. Hope that helps a little more.

Thanks,

- and + for zooming and you can use shift + Enter, Shift +backspace, Control + backspace and Control + Enter that's if you want a wider cockpit view and adjust your eye level. :wink:

Or hold space bar and use mouse look, you can zoom in/out with the mouse wheel! Also if you press shift-letter O it turns mouse look on/off.
