Zoom In while in TGP
-
Question: Re the TGP. How do you zoom in and out while in TGP? Alt F-3,4 doesn’t do anything. I am using a TM Cougar with the full set up as provided under controller set up. I appreciate the help. So far, I’m really impressed with the game. I’ve been playing Falcon since the AT version. It has come a long way!
Best regards,

Zoom in/out is via the Range knob on your Cougar throttle IIRC.

I tried the range knob. Pushing it in is uncAge and turning it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Is there a way to assign it another switch under controller set up??
Thanks,

GunHave you assigned the ManRange knob axis in the Controllers/Advanced UI? Is TGP SOI?

TGP is SOI, no difference. I checked controller adv options. My cougar throttle range knob shows up working the cursor Y on set up screen. Doesn’t do anything in game. Range knob on set up screen states keyboard. The drop down menu here doesn’t show Hotas as option. Thank you for your time.

Need to re-organize/re-assign your axes in that screen, I think.
Edit:
Nevermind. You figured it out.

Also note that if you put the TGP into narrow-view mode, you can then use the range-knob to zoom in that view as well. I know that’s probably extremely obvious but it was a bit of a duh! moment for me. As 4x zoom in WIDE mode wasn’t really helping me to ID vehicles at a distance. But once i put into narrow view mode (the right term eludes me), I could suddenly tell tanks from trucks at great distance and altitude.
