How to: Variable Zoom Function

Isn't that some sort of "cheat" for online players?

No, it's simply a utility that's freely available to everyone that does not alter the source program (CoD). Otherwise, TrackIR and Teamspeak would be considered "cheats", too, right?

Kudos to Aborted Man for taking the time and trouble for sharing this.

Yes, it is! Kill everybody that use this, TrackIR/Freetrack, use a joystick, rudder pedals...

Hmm never mind but it's something which programers didn't implement themselves and something which you have to find "around the corner" - pedals and track ir as well as a joystick is for flightsim kind of standard. I don't mind too much but if it's really easier to spot enemy planes with that "hack"? "mod"? whatever its quite on the edge for me.
Thanks for your efford though.

Lol its not an "around the corner" cheat or work around... its implemented in the game already..but u have to hold the button and use the mouse to use the zoom feature. All aborted man has done is used a program that allows the player to bind the mouse movement to a button on the joystick. I use the same thing.. albeit alot simpler witg the X52 throttle quadrant and the mouse stick on it to do the same as moving the regular mouse. Works the same. I use the joystick hat switch for the standard fields of view. S!
Thanks Abortedman for taking the time to lay this out.
