Can we have a mappable axis for FOV please?

I don't have the scripts in hand right now, but I can post them if anyone's interested (and not using the current TARGET software).

my solution is to combine trackir and binding the three fov´s to hotas bottons. To get the full range of fov on the zoom axis of trackir would be the better way.

I do like the current limited in-cockpit fov for normal flying but would also accept the option to hold a modifier keypress that, when held, allows you to zoom in and out with the TIR Z axis which would mimic squinting/focusing on a distant object.

Yes! Agreed!

It's actually quiet doable but depends greatly on your hotas and accompanying software set up,I have a TM warthog and using the t.a.r.g.e.t. software have the little pinky button on the bottom of the stick set as the hold button for zoom and the forward on the top hat switch on the side of the throttle set as forward mouse(zoom in) and the back on the hat switch as mouse back(zoom out)
it works quiet well and I'm pretty sure you can do it similarly with saitek software( I use to have an X-52 so I'm pretty sure about this) and most probably with the CH software (can anyone confirm?)
An axis would be a little easier but I find I can get by with this set up.

Unfortunately if your stick doesn't come with any programming software ya fairly screwed :/

If an axis is possible, I'd like one please!

I also own a Hotas Cougar and am searching for a good profile, can you post it, or send it to my mail ?
Thanks
