From the replies, I had the zoom over zoomed. When it worked last night, I thought it did give me a better shot at that single moment. I put the zoom toggle as a switch on the rudder pedal after reading i think Fugitives reply on setting up pedals. That took a bit of practice to keep the zoom off while using the toe brakes.
I will give it a go tonight with less zoom and try different turn off and turn on points. i do think zooming will help my shot making skills if I don't over do the zoom.
As always I appreciate the replies. Good stuff. I have several options now to try.
