How to: Variable Zoom Function

Actually, I like the zoom control assigned to the #1 hatswitch, but I'd like to be able to use the cursor slew control to simply move the mouse cursor around the cockpit without having to take my hands off my controls. There may be a way for me to adjust the sensitivity curve(s) to tame that little shrew.

Well thanks to AbortedMan for tweaking my interest in this again and to Matt for triggering the sequence for the TM Warthog.

I've converted it to script (which I use) and moved it to my Throttle MIC switch, changed the speed to 30 and it really works great. Somewhere between a snap view and a zoom view. I only do the forward and back zoom because I have Track IR and I just have to look at an object and use the zoom in out feature.

But . . . . now I have to figure out how to stop showing the mouse pointer. It pops into the center screen when I press the zoom key. I need to find a toggle off/on key for the mouse.

Thanks again guys.
Great stuff!
