Spot distance

Terry

SOH-CM-2016
Has anyone found a program like F1_View.dll that we have for FS9 which would change the eyepoint to plane distance with the mouse wheel? I'm not talking about the zoom factor, I want to leave that at 1:1. I tried Wheelcam 2.7 but cannot get it to work right.

I don't suppose mentioning that a simple alternative is to tie the spot distance keyboard commands to a control on your HOTAS? I've always done it this way. Currently have spot distance tied to a wheel on my Saitek X-55 throttle unit. More convenient than using the mouse wheel IMHO.

Good idea, I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
 
I connected it to an unused button on my Saitek joystick and it works perfectly. Thanks again.
