Map Display "Zoom Out" feature question

[manjoe]

Hello All............

Anybody know of a utility / tool that will allow the Surveyor Map Display ZOOM OUT feature to zoom further out? I would like to see more of a total layout at one time. ZOOM IN is outstanding. TRS2004 at 2365.....

Thanks.............. :wave:

The only way that I know of is to change the -surveyorfov parameter in your trainzoptions.txt file. I set my to 75 when I'm doing big area what like terrain shaping and put it back to the default of 55 to do close up work. The wide setting (75) reduces the zoom in distance so you might not want to leave it at 75 all the time.

Thanks William...... I will give that a try. It is really no big deal to me. but I tend to like to see all of a layout rather than pieces. I find that I have to go to something like TrainzMaps to see the whole thing at one time. I definitely appreciate the fast answer. Thanks a bunch............:wave: :wave:
