Hi guys

I've got an A380 (can't remember which developer) and it's good, but there's one thing I don't like about it - the default zoom is very zoomed out.

Here's what it looks like in the Free Flight screen:



How do I fix this?

If you got a photo program, maybe you can save a zoomed copi. (Dont know much about that).

You could also try to take a picture of the aircraft on ground or in air and then rename it > thumbnail.jpg < .
Put it into texture folder/s. (Save the original/s).

BDSizer is a good little neat program to size a pictures volume up and down.

The 3-d aircraft in the 'preview' window is rendered from the aircraft's .mdl file. From this FSDeveloper forum topic-http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=223219-the initial 'preview' zoom level is determined from a 'radius' value stored in the .mdl file. Maybe Arno's 'RadItor' tool, mentioned in the topic, could help.

Rather than 'fix' you could just use the rotate and zoom features in the 'preview' window. Move the mouse cursor into the preview window; left click and drag the cursor to change the aircraft's attitude/viewpoint; rotate the mouse wheel to zoom in/out.
