'G' load blackout and VC zoom setting?

Two questions:

Is there a way to increase the 'G' load before the blackout effect starts?

Is there a way to change the default zoom change when using the '+' and '-' keys in the VC? For example, I typically like to run at around 40% - 60% zoom in the VC (a setting of 0.40 to 0.60 - depending on the aircraft). I'd like to be able to change the zoom in 0.05 increments vs. the default 0.10 increment without having to hold the shift key when zooming. I'm aware that holding the shift key when zooming allows for fine tuning the VC zoom in 0.01 increments, but it's slower than a simple keystroke of the '+' or '-' key.
 
For the increments of the zoom, I have no idea.
For the G limit increase, VRS has just spotted how to do that, and it will be feaured in TacPac. I haven't seen the precise explanations on how to do it, though...
 
For the default zoom, start your default flight, set the zoom to what you want it to be, and save the flight as for example "Default 40 Zoom" remember to check "Set as default flight"! That makes this new save the default flight and it will remember the zoom setting.

Thanks, but what I'm really looking for is a way to permanently make it so you can adjust the VC zoom in 0.05 increments. I do appreciate your response though. :wavey:

Try "fsrecorder", it allows extra views, which can be customized. And when using a customized vc, you can choose a "smooth zoom" feature, and change the values easily. It gives a nice zoom effect for the vc.
