In IL2 1946 I use the letters I and O = zoom In and Out, and use the freeware tool JoyToKey to repeat 25 times per second the input of the letters, mapped under my buttons 3 & 4 on my MSFFB2. Very smooth and very powerful.

Excuse my ignorance, but isn't having an un-real zoom setting kinda defeat the purpose of full real settings server giving an un-real advantage? (just playing devils advocate....I would like that kind of feature as well so I'll bind to JS) :)

Probably but same can be said for TrackIR/Freetrack. Personally I think these and the unreal FOVs still only come part of the way to compensating for lack of peripheral and real-life vision, or more accurately, awareness.

Yea, im used too to dcs or rof view sistem, and i like it. it took some time to me beacuse i was used to 3 fov form il2 , but now i like more continous and acelerated zoom view.

Use JoyToKey to set the two buttons to mouse up/mouse down + hold to change FOV, you can adjust the speed of mouse movement in JoyToKey.

Thanks everyone to the numerous ways of solving my issue!

I still would like a zoom axis though, as it would allow as much commonality with my other sims as possible. Now to go try all of the suggestions!

Why not tie the FOV to the mouse scroll wheel??

I dont think that works, I havent been able to bind anything to the mouse scroll wheel.

Agreed, it's blast, i hope we see same in CoD.
I have rotaries on my g940
