Setup Question (FSX Zoom)

Hey folks I recently got a new computer and decided to step it up to Flight Sim X. I've got just one question at the moment to get goin.

 

1. I use a Saitek X52 (non-pro version), and was wondering if I could bind one of the sliders, or rotaries on the throttle to work as a zoom function. I do not have TrackIR and would like to be able to quickly zoom in or out without having to take hands off throttle and press "-" or "=".

 

Thank you kindly, and look forward to getting this figured out

I don't remember seeing a zoom axes, but there are a few view axes. When you go into Settings->Controls, select your Saitek X52, the switch to the "axes" tab. If zoom is available there then you might be able to do it. I am not sure if you can do it with FSUIPC.
