Love the mod, excellent stuff, little trouble at first but your fix worked great. Just one thing, is there anyway to get it to zoom out a little further things are just to close for me and I lose track of whats going on . Other than that great stuff keep up the good job

one thing i find really anoying with a2 and fo is when you install it and play the very first game it's zoomed in to the max!

Do you know why?

That's the "how do I make eufnoc angry?" feature.

However, it's standard, I had the same. Perhaps the surprise is bigger if you see the station first and then zoom out and get a view of the area around you. It's for the drama!

Hi. I just wanted to second (or third, or fourth...) the request for greater zooming features. Right now I'm unable to zoom out far enough, and after a while it really becomes frustrating. lol

do u have a whell on your mouse i recomend them they make it much easer to zoom out.

I do, but when placing structures on the map I think I'm just not able to zoom out far enough. I often can't see the structure and the empty space next to it where I'd like to build. (I'm all anal about where I build. It's... a thing. lol)

Thanks for the reply.

hmm, you shoudl be able to zoom out further.. could you attach a screenshot here, with a view of your maximum zoom out?

I agree with making the ability to zoom out greater it would be nice to get an entire base in view...

Hi, to zoom out further, you´ll have to edit the following line in the rts_cfg.h in your game root directory:

float OVERVIEW_MAX_HEIGHT = 2200.0;

I recommend to change the value to 3000.0;

The more you zoom out, the more you´ll slow down the scroll speed.
