VC question

[aeromed202]

I was noodling around with Flight Deck 4's S-3B Viking and found that the VC comes up at 0.33 zoom every time. Looks very Alfred Hitchcockian. It's tedious to tap up to 1.00 every time so is there a way to adjust this to 1.00 or whatever I want?

Yes, in the panel.cfg. look for these statements:

[VIEWS]
VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=0,RADIO_STACK_PANEL,GPS_PANEL ,120,240

VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.800 // change to 1.0
VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=2.500, 0.000, 0.000

If you do not have them, they can be added but are specific to your panel.

Thanks Milton. I thought those lines only affected the 2d panel. I'll give it a try.

This is what there is now

[VIEWS]
VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,50,GPS_PANEL,THROT TLE_PANEL,60,150
VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=5.500, 0.000, 0.000

so I guess if I add the zoom line it otta work.

If you use the same default flight each time, reset the zoom and save a new one.

Hope this helps,
