Ok I was wondering is there a way to start at 0.30 zoom instead of 0.70 when i'm in the VC and the 2-D panel?

You'll need to edit the camera.cfg which is in the same loaction as your fsx.cfg file.

Make a backup!!!

Where would the config file for FSX be located? :-/

Hi,

The Config fille is located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX

You'll have to go into folder option control panel to switch on hidden files and folders to see it, once your happy hide your folders again.

The zoom level is defined separately for each camera view (definition.)

Camera definitions are located in two places. Generic definitions (applicable to all aircraft) are contained in a file called "Cameras.CFG", located in the same folder as "FSX.cfg". Definitions specific to each aircraft are located in that aircrafts "aircraft.cfg" file, located in that aircrafts folder.

The item to change is "InitialZoom = ###" where ### is the zoom factor you want, in the same format as displayed on screen. For ".40" zoom it would be "InitialZoom = .40".

K thanks

Actually, it's C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Alternatively, you can zoom out to 0.40 when in-game, and save the flight as default.

Wait so if I make it the default flight it will always start at .30 zoom correct if I set it that way...

Actually, that link is for Vista. Is Knick using Vista?

I stand corrected if you are

I'm on XP

I thought you were, pepole who run Vista usually say so. lol

Have you had any joy with changing camera views? i would liketo know how you got on as its one thing i keep meaning to change.

I like the long wing wiews, and apart from that, it shows textures better!!!

Too much zoom gives blurries, on anyones computer.

The wing views are cool i like using them for take off and landing sometimes, i'm having a better experience now because it saves me time, albeit not alot but it helps me fly better

Wing View, Engine views in flight are just the best!!

I just foudn this DH Comet for FSX, the only thing you have to do is delete the sound folder nd panel folder and replace it witht the default 747's one in FSX, the plane has a VC but the panel for it is all grey becuase it was intended for FS9
