Re: Can not zoom out in virtual cockpit?
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.

Re: Can not zoom out in virtual cockpit?
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?

Re: Can not zoom out in virtual cockpit?
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!
