Re: Can not zoom out in virtual cockpit?
Using the ATI 5870 with 3 monitors and bezel compensation is good in window mode, but can not align properly in full screen in FSX. Anyone else have this problem?

Re: Can not zoom out in virtual cockpit?
In FS9 you could zoom out slightly more than was permitted by the minus key by inserting the desired figure in the zoom box in the view menu - but only down to about 0.28 if I remember correctly. I never heard of any possibility of more zoom than that, and I'm not sure I would want it because view towards the edges of the screen look increasingly distorted.

Re: Can not zoom out in virtual cockpit?
There is a way to get extreme zoomed-out views, but this is accompanied by extreme distortion as well.
First, find fsx.cfg and make sure you've set WideViewAspect=True. It's easy enough to find instructions to turn that on.
Once WideViewAspect is set to true, fsx clamps the shorter window dimension. As this is now most likely the window height, a wider window will give you a more extreme effective zoom.
Next, set your primary view to 2-d cockpit. Yes, 2-d cockpit. It'll make sense in a minute.
Shrink the panel and outside windows down small, and set the zoom HIGH to reduce the geometry load on your processor.
Finally, open a NEW window and set it to virtual cockpit. Expand this window horizontally to fill the whole screen, but adjust it vertically to fill only a part of the screen. Since the 30% zoom clamps the vertical FOV and you now have a very wide-aspect window, you will have a wider horizontal FOV than would otherwise be available. Shrink the vertical dimension to a point where the distortion is not intolerable, and you're done.
You will never be able to get 180°FOV like this, however, and the distortion (IMHO) is intolerable. My personal preference is to use several narrower vertically-striped windows, each showing a smaller portion of my desired FOV.
