I have mine all the way zoomed out, so i can see more above the cockpit, good for landing.

I read somewhere that in Virtual Cockpit mode, using 0.65 is the most realistic setting.

What about regular 2D? I use fleetware so I usually don't fly in vc.

I also use 2D fleet and wondered about this zoom also. I use default at this time. I use the 1024 x 768 resolution and after experimenting this seems to be pretty good. The zoom I am not sure what to use. I fly 2002 and FS9.

I use 62 % - hold the shift button down when you hit the + or - buttons and it will do it 1% change at a time

Andrew, I always use 2D and use the .50 setting. Gives me a good view and is closer to the real thing. Hope this helps

Something worth remembering I learned playing with zoom is that zooming out too much degrades performance. For taxiing I like - 0.50 (sometimes even 0.35 but that ruins fps), for all other phases of flight except approach and landing - 0.75, for approach and landing - 1.0 works best (can see the runway early enough in VFR conditions)

Thank you Adam. I used these settings tonight and will continue to see how they work in the next several flights for me. I learn something every day here it seems.
