Permanently setting a zoom (view level) ?
Hi,
Can anyone tell me where one sets a permanent 'zoom' view level for FS.
Ie.... in the Cockpit view of FS, for each flight I have to press the (-) three times to zoom out to 0.31.
....so I am looking to set the view permanently at 0.31 but can't find the parameters where this is done.
Thanks for any pointers!David R

I think you can do that in the config file.
I did it for my default radio frequencies. You should be able to alter the view magnification too.Boeing Skunk Works

Tried this?
When you have all your parameters set, choose maximize the window MSFS is in (as opposed to full screen, alt + enter). Then save that situation as a saved flight.

Mike - Would you know which config file? .... I've checked the fs9.cfg and the aircraft's own .cfg but can't find anything that relates to the zoom level.
I've got a feeling it may be in the Panel.cfg, which is a shame as the aircraft model I use for my Project Magenta set-up doesn't have a Panel.cfg !
AK49er - Thanks, I'll try that method if I can't permanently change it in a .cfg.

Cool, thanks anyway. I will set up a basic panel.cfg for my aircraft, with just the views parameters in.
Thanks again,

Speaking of views, when using the left or right views, I still get a VC cockpit, but not as large as the monitor.
If I go into the panel.config, what should I asterik out, and if I do will I have to reorder or re-number the windows for the outside views?
Does the program call up two separate views at once? I.E. the VC cockpit and the outside view?Boeing Skunk Works

Mike,
I don't know how to specifically set those views but I do know a way to remove the VC from any model file, using a Hex editor.
As well as fully removing the VC from all views (including the views you're referring to above), it also gives a good improvement to frame rates.
I'm at work at the moment but if you're interested, when I get home I will give you a link to the Hex Editor that I use, and the line of code you need to change in order to remove the VC from any .mdl file within FS.
[EDIT]: Here is the link to the Hex Editor that you need:

PS.... the answer to permanently setting a zoom level, was to place the following entry into the Panel.cfg :-
[Views]
VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.31 (or whatever zoom level you want).
