Can't Zoom In and Out in the VC. Help Please!

[whitney17]

Hi,

While flying in the VC, I have 6DOF (TrackIR) and can Zoom In and Out. All of a sudden, once I use shift+e, I still have 6DOF but can't Zoom In and Out. I didn't have this problem in the past and l have no idea what's wrong. This also happens when I don't use TrackIR. I'm using FSX with Acceleration. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

sometimes the zoom feature has to be reset using the 'backspace' key - did you try that?

Sometimes FS (both FSX and FS9) loses focus on just which screen or window is active. This is especially noticeable if you fly online using FS Host or have windows/panels dragged off onto a second monitor.

In cases like this I find all that is required is to move the mouse cursor anywhere on the main window and left-click once. This returns the focus to the main window and all your zoom controls will function again.

Thanks guys! Both tips worked.

Heywooood, with Pam's retirement, it looks like we're not going to get the SkyStreak. Too bad.
