Zooming in and out in external view doesn’t move the cameras position, it just changes the field of view and kind of gives a type of zoom effect. Now, in showcase external view the cameras position can be changed and you can also separately adjust the field of view/zoom level. This same mechanic would be welcomed for external view. For example, the mouse wheel changes the cameras distance form the aircraft within fixed limits, and for instance, + and - zooms the lens while maintaining your aspect ratio. And of course we could still move the camera around with the mouse instead of keys like in showcase view. I voted for this! However, I wonder if Asobo is even bothering with MSFS 2020 development anymore since the release of 2024? Are they actually listening to what the community is saying and wishing for? With so many little bugs and quality of life improvements that could be fixed and implemented, how dedicated are Asobo and MS to actually refining MSFS 2020?
