Since I still cant extend my cockpit over both my monitors, it would be ncie to know how I can zoom out on the panel, so I get of the whole cocktpit on my screen.
This of course without moving eyepoint back, because you would end up looking at the back of your seat, instead of on the panel and the runway.

by pressing - minus key, everything is will zoom out.

Sometimes when you use the + or - keys to zoom, nothing
happens!
If this happens just left click anywhere on the screen your trying to use zoom,
to activate and they will work again! 

Hehe, they way you guys describe it, its exactly that what I wasnt asking for, but I still gave it a try and this indeed does what I wanted to know.

Let me explain what is happening, because this is NOT moving the possition of the camera. If it was, your view possition would end up behind the seat and that's not what happens.

I asume people got a basic knowladge of how a camera works. What happens here is changing the function of the camera-lens from tele function to wide-angle function, which changes the visible ratio of the distance against the angle of perception. The angle of perception gets bigger/smaller, without moving the possition of the camera.

But I got what I was after, thanks guys!

To complete this post:

This is the function of using a zoom-lens as on a photo- or video-camera, it moves from tele perspective to wide-angle perspective and back.

To zoom out:
1. the '-' on the main keyboard to move fast.
2. and 'shift + -' on the main keyboard to move slow.

To zoom in:
1. the '=' on the main keyboard to move fast
2. and 'shift + =' on the main keyboard to move slow.
