Hi All,
when i'm VC mode, and zoom out, it stops zooming.
i can't see all the dial and swiches, is there a way of zooming out more.
Coz i've video's, where the camera view is behind the pilots seat, is this possible in all FSX aircraft

Many thanks

Yes it's possible. Try hitting Ctrl+Backspace to move backward, Ctrl+Enter to move forward, Shift+Backspace to move down, and Shift+Enter to move up. You can get very interesting angles doing this. Wink

I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

what you are asking for is not zoom.   you MOVE the camera around the cockpit.   I dont remember the actual key sequence to do it, but you use the following::

SHIFT + ENTER
SHIFT + BACKSPACE

CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER
CTRL + SHIFT + BACKSPACE

CTRL + ENTER
CTRL + BACKSPACE



you can MOVE the camera UP/DOWN, LEFT/RIGHT, FORWARD/BACKWARD.  you'll just have to play around with those combinations to figure out exactly which does what, but those are the combinations.
