Highvolt Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi Pete, Can I make a request here ? Is it possible to make the zoomfactor offset in FS2002 writeable ? I'm writing a program that makes FS2002 act as an "onboard camera" (using wideview) I would like to zoom in and out very smoothly, so i would like to control the variable directly, in stead of sending keypresses. I'm also curious if the value can be set below '19' (0.31x), because it would give you a wider field of view if u use multimonitor setups. Kind Regards, Wim Van Ertvelde ps: thanks for including my name in the "programmers guide" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm writing a program that makes FS2002 act as an "onboard camera" (using wideview) Do you know how to do it? I can add it if someone knows how. I'll investigate it myself when I get time. No promises though. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I have access to are the same controls as you could operate by sending controls or keystrokes, i.e. ZOOM_1X ZOOM_IN ZOOM_IN_FINE ZOOM_MINUS ZOOM_OUT ZOOM_OUT_FINE ZOOM_PLUS I'm not sure what they all do individually, but I doubt that any of them are "smooth". Have you tried. You may wish to ask the author of Active Camera how it is done. I think he must know a lot about that part of the innards of FS. I'm afraid it's an area I know nothing about, so it would realy take me a long time. The "Zoom" factor at 02B2 is, oddly enough, one of the few remaining original GLOBALS which FSUIPC doesn't touch. It doesn't stop you overwriting it either, it just seems to have no effect. Sorry, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highvolt Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 ok, thanx Pete, I didnt try those ZOOM_IN_FINE keystrokes. I'll check them out right away. About ActiveCamera, I wonder how it works, because as far as i know, it doesnt use fsuipc, does it ? Maybe they created their own fsuipc thingie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they created their own fsuipc thingie :) No, it's hacked into a different part of FS, a part I know nothing about. Bit like Lago's FSAssist, if you remember that -- in FS2000 it fiddled with all sorts of things I've never found. There's different bits of expertise in different places. No one knows it all it seems! :wink: Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
