I know a real-world GA pilot who keeps a pair of binoculars in the
cockpit for much the same purpose ... <g>

I have been trying that trick of yours with some success Frank, but
if I

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.
