Or, you could press Z and then not press it again...

It's almost there, except when you're in a buff and keep switching seats.  Every time you switch positions, the zoom gets turned off and you have to hit Z again.  Not a huge deal, and definitely works fine in fighters except you have to hit Z the first time to turn it on when you get into a plane.

It would have been simpler to wish for an option to have "Zoom" enabled by default from the clipboard under the "View" options.

I have the z programmed to one of my throttle buttons then zoom in/out to two other buttons.  unless you play with a keyboard and mouse, zooming using the wheel on the mouse is not a good idea.  and if you want to know why, then you probably need a little bit more practice.
