Beware of the Hun in the Sun, another CoD youtube video by me...

Oh, but there is such an option: I just have to lean forward with my TrackIR gear. Then I get closer to the instruments.

As for the outside world zooming, I guess it just serves to overcome the limits of monitor resolution. I personally think of it as the equivalent of "concentrating hard on looking at a far-away object". The zoom limit in CoD seems pretty realistic to me as a representation of the detail level you'd be able to see with your unaided eyes. It is not a sniper scope...

(One day maybe they could make a further zoom level simulating the binoculars some fighter pilots reputedly brought along with them. It should be implemented a bit like the gunsight view we have now, but "more clunky" so that it couldn't be used in the middle of hard maneuvering)
