No, it's not currently planned.

Can you give us some details about patch status (i.e. when it's done) ?

It looks excellent.  Great work.[;)]

WCS was on a programming hiatus over the holidays, so we need to test one more build and the patch should be ready. At this point, the only hold-ups are fixing some minor glitches in a new feature we added and, with that fixed, testing some AI changes. We'll keep you posted!

Yes, found this thread. I thought so. Can't wait.

Edit: I hope/assume the zoom level is saved as a preference(always stays at level set)

No it returns to normal view, but its very easy to use and during play one tends to use different zoom levels from time to time, I find that is particularly the case during detailed battle.

Amazing how a zoom lock feature is rarly done in games. The strat map view kills it for me, it too hard to look at so up close. I hate always resetting the view that I like too. Please WCS, if you cannot make it an option than let me know how to go into the program and manually set the zoom level for the strat map.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I meant it returns to normal on reloading a save. During play it will usually remain at whatever level you select.

No, we understood each other. I meant the zoom level staying set even after a reload game/save.

Adding a zoom lock would delay the patch further. Perhaps in the future, but we'd want more feedback on this after you've seen the zoom feature in action -- it's really not that hard to zoom in or out. Perhaps other games are harder to adjust?

I'm sure the new zoom feature for FOF, will help me play the game more(and enjoy it more).

I always thought the Panzer Command series could have used a zoom/camera lock feature. I believe I asked for it with OWS beta, but it was ignored or dropped because of no interest. It might have the feature now, but I don't know since I don't play the Panzer Command series very much anymore.

So HOW do you do this in game? What keystroke????

I'm not 100% positive, but I think you hold down the ctrl key while scrolling with the mouse wheel. I've done it a few times, but strangely that's one feature I rarely use. If it's not ctrl, it may be the shift key and mouse scroll wheel.

Its Ctrl and mouse wheel or Ctrl and + or - keys and works at both strategic level and in detailed battles.

Thanks!
I DL'd the game but it was nowhere in the readme or manual until someone said it was in the latest update (which I thought the DL'd version would be) Now it works. This is a great game.
