Still no VR zoom after Jan. update

For me it seems to come & go.

That’s probably because your mouse cursor is over a Garmin screen or toolbar window, this regression from SU7 has still not been fully fixed SU8.

However since SU8 it’s much improved.

Hey!
Since I turned off ā€œinterior cockpit modeā€ it works.
In the camera settings, cockpit camera section…

Unless I’m missing something, devs - can we please get a keybind to be able to zoom in while looking out of the cockpit windows? So that I can see more detail in the distance?

It’s not available…it would be great for a wish list item.

So … I can’t recall this ever working in VR - at the very least since SU5 or SU6.

I am currently using the SU10 beta. None of the zoom related keys (mouse or keyboard) do anything. I have tried remapping them but they still don’t work.

Note: these mappings work fine in non VR
Note 2: I confirmed my Home Cockpit Mode was off
Note 3: a previous post mentioned turning off Interior Cockpit Mode - which doesn’t seem to exist.

Yes, once again devs, I’ve been waiting for a VR zoom for ages. Please implement.

I would like to express my support for this feature request :slight_smile:

FS2020 is a great VR-VFR experience but is still limited by current generation headset resolution. ā€˜VR zoom’ could be a quick and clean feature to overcome this limitation.

From what I read in this (and another) thread on the topic, it appears that the proponents of the ā€œit’s-all-fine-just-set-it-up-properlyā€ position are not aware that zooming in on something is not the same as getting closer to it. ā€œVR - Cockpit Focusā€ is nice for inside the Cockpit, but does nothing to overcome the limitation for out-of-cockpit-view.

And because I know someone will bring it up: Yes, with modern rendering engines there’s more to it than a simple change in FOV. LOD settings are affected, parallax issues, shaders, VR sickness,… I know. But other sims have pulled it off and it added A LOT to overcoming the resolution limitation.

Most of all: It would help those who want to use it, but it would leave all others unaffected :+1:

I was flying over Rome a few minutes ago and was just thinking, it would be nice if I could zoom and see St Peters Basicalla a bit closer, and the Coliseum as well :slight_smile:
