66Coronet Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hello, I have been playing around with the view in VC. I have changed wide aspect to = True, which has helped a lot. I keep finding posts that refer to changing the zoom to 0.7, 0.4, ext. Where is this done? I can't find it. Thanks Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Cameras.CFG -> [CameraDefinition.002] -> InitialZoom = xx Cameras.CFG is in the same folder as FSX.CFG (depends on yr OS). Or more simple: hit +/- on yr keyboard (not the +/- on the numpad). Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Is it just +/-? I thought FSX it was ctrl +/-. Show ya how much I fly in FSX, though...

MBKHOU Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 +/- is in 10% increments. Shift +/- is fine increments.. You can also do 10% with spacebar-mousewheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Ahh, ok, sorry for the inaccurate info! Shows ya how much I FSX... I stick to my FS9, usually...

66Coronet Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks for the info. So when the posts are saying they have there zoom set to a certain % they are doing that in the config file? You can't see what % your at using +,- or the mouse wheel correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBKHOU Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 You see the exact setting in red letters up in the right upper part of the screen when adjusting it. Then after a few seconds, it goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66Coronet Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Again, thanks for all the info. I figured it out and now have the view I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScatterbrainKid Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 In case anybody surfs into this thread I might as well toss the following into the playpen as a reminder that sliding your eyepoint around in conjunction with zoom will customize your view even more- VIRTUAL COCKPIT EYEPOINT MOVEMENT (Hold keys down to slide your eyeballs) SHIFT Enter= Up SHIFT Backspace=Down SHIFT CTRL Enter= RIGHT SHIFT CTRL Backspace= LEFT CTRL Backspace= Forward CTRL Enter= Back Hold CTRL and hit SPACE= Reset These 3 shots show how different combos of eyepoint position and zoom give great flexibility- http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/sub2/FSX-eyepoint1_zpsmqamutj3.jpg~original http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/sub2/FSX-eyepoint2_zpsffzoxuzl.jpg~original http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/sub2/FSX-eyepoint3_zpszw3jg2bu.jpg~original And if you can't see ahead in some planes.. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/ExIS/cpitE.jpg ..simply use eyepoint to crank your head outside the cockpit..:) http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/ExIS/cpitF.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
