Zoom presets for top-down controlling?

Hello,

 

I was looking up VATSIM UK's controlling videos on youtube and I noticed that with a hotkey they can zoom into an airport and zoom back out again immediately. How is this achieved?

 

Seems particularly useful for when you are controlling Center and don't want to use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out everytime.

Best Regards

You can also do it this way:

 

Take Glasgow (EGPF) for example. In ES, navigating to OTHER SET -> General Settings -> Page 2, under the sub heading "ASR Display" is where hotkeys can be setup.

 

I (in my Glasgow profile) have F1+1 set to C:\Users\me\Docomeents\EuroScope\UK\Data\ASR\Glasgow\Glasgow Radar_3.asr and F1+2 set to the SMR path.

Thank you gents, I've set it up properly now

 

Just a bonus question and off-topic: Controllers on the Controller List can sometimes appear in a pink color, indicating that they are about to leave. How is that achieved?

Best Regards
