    If running fsx enable widescreen in fsxcfg may help.

    Hi taiping.

    I assume you are using a conventional keyboard, if so, hit the backspace key. You should then be able to zoom in and out.
    I had the same problem and found this out by accident. I run 3 monitors via 3 video cards and FSX. I suggest you try this before going into your cfg files.

    Please can you sign off with your name.

    yes, it is in wide screen in the cfg, and i can see a significant difference when using one monitor, i can see the whole cockpit in VT mode, but with 3, i can only see about half of it in the vertical side

    Re: Can not zoom out in virtual cockpit?

    I just started using ATI 5870. Only problem I have with a 3 monitor setup is in full screen. In full screen I get a clone of the virtual cockpit on each monitor. The only way I can use it is to alt-enter out of full screen and then stretch that across all three monitors, then I end up with the tool bar at the bottom and the menu tabs at the top. Does anyone have a work around for this in order to use the full screen across all 3 monitors. I do have them grouped 3X1 and using Win 7 64 bit. Also is there a way to zoom below the 30% limit to get a better view of the cockpit along with the outside?

    What resolution are you using in FS? Sounds like what FS is running is different from what you are using in Win7.

    Re: Can not zoom out in virtual cockpit?

    Thank you. I had to edit my old nvidia card out of FSX.CFG then it finally showed the 5760X1200 resolution choice within FSX. Now I can use it in full screen. Can only zoom out 30%, if anyone can find a way to go to 20 or 10% that would be amaxing. Thanks again for your ideas Mr Autocadplease!
