I have  been trying that trick of yours with some success Frank, but if I
then see  that I'm quite a bit off line, the adjustment was proving too
tricky  because I couldn't line up properly at 300% because my eye-brain
couple is  so fixated on the normal approach picture for RW flying. So I
was having to  zoom in and out whilst trying to fly.  I'm going to try
opening a  separate mini window showing forward view zoomed to 300% and
see if that  works.

Peter,
 
I went to the trouble of creating a ZOOM gauge which responds to mouse  
clicks as follows -
First O - zooms out
Second O - zooms in
M - zoom normal
 
I zoom in to 300% just to spot the markers, once I see them I identify the  
route by noting trees, buildings etc., I then switch to zoom normal. Rather 
like  having a quick squint through binoculars.
 
Taking Bones' point there's no way I'd fly in on 300% zoom, its just used  to 
help spot those runway markers from distance.
