Bomber, gunsite zoom.
« on: August 24, 2026, 01:24:07 PM »
Good afternoon!

I am hopping back into Aceshigh after being gone a few years.  I know you are able to zoom in and out when in the bombardier mode, I cant remember for the life of me how to bind it to an analogue input on my X56 Throttle.  I regret not backing up my setting before getting a new computer.  Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, -FBTrev95

I have my zoom set to one of the buttons on the throttle. I think it’s a big black one on the left side. Then I have zoom in/out set to one of the switches on the stick. Works out pretty good.

I use the mini joystick on my X56 Throttle for this function, as well as the CBM zoom.

I didn’t quite explain that right I use the black button on the X 52 joystick for zoom and then I use the switch in the middle on the joystick for In-N-Out.

I’ve also had the zoom slider set to the rotary switches on the throttle.
