Loosened shoulder straps casue in CLOD less head movement during manouvers and shoting which is really absurd. I also cant imagine how pilot could lossened his shoulder straps during combat it is also absurd to me expecially if it is such quickly done in game in both ways. I fly aerobatic plane i always had my all belts fastened tight i hardly imagine how i could lossening some belts during manouvers. Even if i fastened my shoulder belts not such tight during manouvers my upper body would be moving too much i bet it would help in aiming.

Having a zoom in and zoom out button as well as a zoom axis is just basic game design and it's amazing CloD doesn't include it. Every other flight sim game has this feature. Without a zoom a flight sim is totally unplayable in my opinion. You can't even see your own cockpit without zooming in just a bit and ID ing other aircraft without using icons is impossible. Real pilots had better vision than a 1080p screen. that's why you need a zoom. It needs to be an easy transparent command and not require multiple buttons. Honestly the current system in CloD is terrible. Fix it please. I have my zoom mapped to the rudder toe axis for RoF and DCS A-10 and it's beautiful.

The entire community is discussing about every tiny detail of flight models, performance rates, fuel types, ammo belt mix, etc. just to make this sim a benchmark in terms of realism.

And know everybody wants to have a zoom in and out button??!!
Which pilot gear offered that in WW2????
I don't remember any secret Spit or 109 version with zoomable MFD's or am I wrong?

The only special device which came roughly close to this unrealistic zoom view, was a sighting telescope mounted next to the REVI in Adolf Gallands Bf-109 E4.

He used this scope NOT for aiming, just for identifying enemy aircraft!


I don't care about arcade mode but for full real gameplay PLEASE just fix the field of view to 1st or 2nd FoV with NO ability to zoom around.

Just my humble opinion...

Load of crap, in game zoom is merely a function to help emulate the abilities of the human eye, you do have those right?

Wait a minute I thought this sim was dead and we have lively post about FOV of all things. Not FM related at all I will point out while laughing but a silly FOV. Next someone will remind us this isn't silly but a sign at how inept the developers are because they can't get this sim right and make it exactly like 1946 or RoF. Lol

It's been an ongoing request and often discussed since launch, nothing new.

I like the way Clod does the zoom, I do think there should be more options for zoom like in old IL2 and even the option to zoom like the OP wants but PLEASE don't take away IL2 way of zooming in degrees, way better IMHO

Actually, in American aircraft this would quickly be accomplished by locking/unlocking the shoulder strap retractor (Pilot's Information Manual 6-8-1 rev. April 1, 1944). I wouldn't be surprised if other aircraft had a similar feature as well. What would you do if you dropped your map? Fly inverted? Would you want (or dare) to undo your belts?

Currently we only have 3 types of preset view options that we also had in Il2.

This feature already in exists in CLOD BUT at the moment we must hold in a selected button and then move the mouse forward and backwards to zoom in and out. This is not desirable in combat. Instead a "zoom in" button and "zoom out" button would be greatly appreciated!

This feature exists in Rise of flight and is great! Here is a video


This is how it looks in CLOD


Its a great feature but currently way too complicated to use in combat!
You missed the boat, the thread was stickied for over a year.
