Hi,
I currently use one of my controls axis dials to zoom in and out in Cockpit mode while playing LOMAC. Sometimes, when dogfighting I need to zoom in to have a full hud view and keep the enemy locked on.
It would be WONDERFUL if instead of distracting me for 1 second by getting my hand out of the HOTAS controls to reach the dial to zoom in/out that I could get closer to the monitor and have a zoomed view of the cockpit.
Considering that the zoom function in lomac can be mapped to an axis and the fact that the pixel area is constantly been measured by the trackir driver I imagine this is very simple thing to implement right now. I would create a big deadzone for it so players are allowed small movements without zooming the view. This feature alone would be EXCELENT to enhance an already superb product, specially considering that with today's technology rendering of images at close distances is a reality, and soon, a need. (e.g FS2006 will most likely feature excelent virtual cockpits that will require zooming to the instruments when doing instrument approaches)
Can someone
