Start up zoom question

[aeromed202]

I've always wondered why different aircraft load up at different distances. Some I can easily take in the whole thing, others I've got one foot on the ladder. Is there simple way to set this?

If you have AFCAD, there's an Edit Aircraft option in the menus that will let you alter the crash radius. That is also the distance that FS uses to set the initial camera distance in Spot View. It modifies the mdl file.

It's also related to the parking radius of the individual model. The larger the radius, the farther away the zoom is on initial loading of your flight. It also determines where various airports will let you park.

There's a freeware Parking Manaager by Project AI that lets you reset the radius to something more to your liking.
