Zoom problem (Z axis) in Lock-ON 1.02

Hello !
I have'nt found the solution to activate the Z axis in Lock-On.
In cokpit I can look left to right and down to up but no zoom in/out.
When I see Lock-On profile details in TrackIr software, I can see only Yaw and Pitch checked and all cases are'nt editables.
I think this function is possible in LO because in game Zoom in/out can be configurate as Axis, this is why I allocate this on my X52 rotate button temporarely.
Thank you for help me !

I believe the original Lock-on, only supports 2DOF.

Hi there... I wanted to bump this thread back up and hopefully get the resolution. Your above statement is INCORRECT. (I don't mean this disrespectfully - I just want to be clear.)
I first installed LOMAC up to Flaming Cliffs 1.2 in December, using the latest TrackIR patch available at that time.
YES - TrackIR DID HAVE the Z Axis in LOMAC!!! I could zoom in and out with TrackIR, as well as look around.
But now, I had recently installed the game again, updated it the same way using the same patches, and had also installed TrackIR again, using the latest patches available. TrackIR shows the LOMAC profile as not supporting the Z-axis zoom!
Why is this??? It was working before!

OK!!!
I do believe I've discovered the problem, although I'll say somewhere between LOMAC folks and TrackIR they certainly buggered up the patching!!!
Here's what I think the issue is:
Some of the LOMAC Flaming Cliffs patches (particularly the ones that open up the "DOS" window to unpack the update) seem not to support the zoom feature on TrackIR.
How did I get it to work?
Well, if you install just plain 1.0 LOMAC, and then install the 1.1 Flaming Cliffs CD version, and THEN install the older 1.2a Flaming Cliffs patch (the one that uses Install Shield and StarForce, well, that one seemed to work!!!
At any rate, I think it would be great of Natural Point to contact the LOMAC folks and politely point out to them that one of their patches is supporting the full zoom functionality of TrackIR, while their newer patches are not.
In any rate - the truth is out! Zoom axis for TrackIR IS supposed to work for LOMAC, but not all the Flaming Cliffs patches seem to support it.

Actually, the original statment still holds, the original LOMAC only supports 2DOF.
Flaming Cliffs is a full add-on application, which also allowed for full TrackIR support.
Some users have reported TrackIR no longer working in Lock-On: Flaming Cliffs, with the latest game patch (1.12a).
To remedy this simply open your LOMAC->Input folder, and delete the TrackIR.ini file; then go to LOMAC->Config folder, and delete the TrackIR.ini file located here as well.
