Zoom out/in commands

Hello,
Just installed CFS3 (and recommended patches) and checking the various commands.
On my system XP SP3 the zoom in command works and finally I am behind the cockpit but when I try the zoom out ] it does not work as I stay with the same window.

See attached screen shot

Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance
 
AFAIU you are using "move eyepoint forward/backward" instead of "zoom in/out", so your eye physically goes backward in the fuselage, instead of your field of view enlarging while the eyepoint stays in the cockpit.
Try to edit controls ingame to see what the shortcut for zoom is.

Hope it helps.
