I mostly fly with Cessna and I want the virtual cockpit to initiate with a zoom level of 0.6 when a session starts. There are two options to achieve that:
OPTION 1: Save a New Default Flight
1) Start a flight with Cessna
2) Adjust the zoom level to 0.6 inside the virtual cockpit with “=” or “-” keys
3) Save the flight as the new default flight
OPTION 2: Modify the Default Startup Flight
1) Open the default flight “FLTSIM.FLT” (or the earlier saved default flight) with Notepad
2) Look for Cameras with Guid = {C95EAB58-9E4A-4E2A-A34C-D8D9D948F078}
Note: This Guid number is assigned to Virtual Cockpit in FSX
3) Change the Zoom value to 0.6
Both Option 1 and Option 2 can easily set the zoom level of virtual cockpit to one needs. However, the zoom level is likely to be changed when the aircraft (Cessna in this case) is swapped. Continue reading
