This had disastrous results in the German planes on full-real however, because unless you were the world champion of the 1980's PC game called Decathlon, keypresses were nowhere near fast enough to stop the engine from over-revving and inevitably seizing. Of course the allied aircraft were far more forgiving.

If we're able to do this on-screen with a mouse drag then I'm one even happier camper.
I use a free program that's called JoyToKey, for example I use button 3 & 4 on my joystick to zoom in & out in a smooth fashion. Button three corresponds with pressing the letter O (zoom Out) 25 times per second and 4 does I (zoom In), again 25 times per second.
You can program to use this with prop pitch as well and of course set any repeat rate you might want.
