Title: Saving zoom settings between play sessions
Post by: Ack-Ack on October 10, 2017, 02:34:17 AM
I would like to have the zoom settings save between play sessions.  Currently, the zoom settings only save if you don't completely exit out of the game, once you exit the game completely the settings reset and aren't saved.

You talking about F10?

I zoom to the same spot for all planes.  It would be nice to have that setting saved after I exit the game.
Or is there a .cfg setting where we can change the default zoom, like we can with the clipboard?

Good idea.  I was always using areas or the cockpit to set my zoom.  It can really throw aim off for me if im off a couple inches.

You guys lost me here.   Is there a capability I don't know about?   Is this the [ ] zoom in zoom out key?

Yes.  Toggle zoom on/off with Z and adjust with [ ].  Unless you have them mapped different.

Ok, thanks.   I thought we saved that by hitting F10 (or F12) for each plane.  So OP is seeking an auto save for zoom?

I am asking that the zoom settings be saved between play sessions, which currently doesn't happen.  Set your zoom and then exit out of the game completely and restart, the zoom setting you set in your previous play session has been reset and not saved.  I am asking that the settings be saved.

Got it (maybe).  As opposed to hitting F10 every time, right?

I admit I don't fiddle with my zoom setting much.

As long as I there is a setting to reset to default, I have no problem with this.

F10 only saves head positions, not zoom.  Zoom isn't considered a head position setting.

Ah, okay.   

So it goes back to default when you exit and re-enter.  Now I understand what you're getting at.   Thanks for the explanation.   :salute

Yup.  No way to save that view at this moment...

This explains my magical ability to always wind up (eventually) at the "proper" zoom no matter how many times I mess with it.   :rofl

I just use a touch of zoom, but man it would be handy...

Now that I know what you guys mean I agree.  I always thought it was saving where I left it.
