But make sure you disable the cinematic mode. That one comes with a nasty motion blur. Makes spotting difficult, doesn&#8217;t look that nice and probably costs performance. Another interesting setting is Smoothness, which is smoothing out your camera movement. Very nice to get a more stable experience. Might cause some nausea for some individuals. Movement inertia will result in a delay when the zoom button is pressed. The zoom speed will ramp up instead of being at full speed form the get go.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Note that &#8220;FOV change speed&#8221; is the slider you want to adjust to manipulate the speed of zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2_Zoomfast-1024x468.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2_Zoomfast-1024x468.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2_Zoomfast-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2_Zoomfast-768x351.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2_Zoomfast-1536x702.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2_Zoomfast.jpg 1788w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the setting only applies to the &#8220;zoom in&#8221; Assignment within &#8220;Pilot head control&#8221; <br>&#8220;Pilot head: zoom&#8221; is an axis setting. Hence the speed of zoom is dictated by how fast you actually move the physical axis. if you bind it to a key, which IL-2 allows you do to, you get one predetermined zoom speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1_Zoomfast-1024x607.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1_Zoomfast-1024x607.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1_Zoomfast-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1_Zoomfast-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sheriffssimshack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1_Zoomfast.jpg 1041w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have have created a PDF file with my &#8211; not so current &#8211; control layout.
