discovered new FSNav trick

[GREGORY]

Some of you may already know about this one.. but when clicking on and
zooming (with buttons) a windowed FSNav session.. discovered that if
one points the mouse to the desired `map center' and rolls mouse wheel
one click up or down.. the map will ZOOM in or out (not sure which is
+ or - convention).. but this is a really neat and handy feature!!

Was that clearly stated? stated aGaiN.. point mouse to the spot where
`map center' is desired.. and roll mouse wheel `one click' either out
or in. Kinda' awkward at first.. but its a slick feature all right!!

Are you saying that if you point the mouse to the spot where map
center is desired, and roll the mouse wheel one click either way, it
will zoom in or out?

Just make sure you're "clicked" in the map window, as otherwise you will
just scroll the list of waypoints and bear in mind after the first level of
zoom, you then need to move the mouse pointer to the new centre of the
screen before zooming again (assuming you want to zoom in further on the
original area the mouse was over.
