If you are not using a mouse (scrollwheel adjusts zoom), you can on most touchpads put two fingers on the touchpad and drag to adjust zoom in the game.

You can't currently move the entire plane directly. A workaround would be to temporarily remove the cockpit, then you can move the entire aircraft as one piece, then reattach the cockpit.

This won't work well on some designs that have "nudged" the cockpit to a non-standard location though.

Hmm, sorry about that. Does multi-touch gestures work on your touchpad in other applications? We'll look into adding a zoom key in an update.

Just thought of something. Does your touchpad have a scroll-wheel region to the side? If it does, this should allow you to zoom.

Depending on your touchpad and its driver, this might help.

When using a Windows laptop, you might be stuck with a synaptic touchpad.

Those crappy drivers with their so-called virtual scrolling create a fake window below the cursor to display their custom scrolling icon.

That window interfere with the signal sent to the application under, and GTK for some reason can't detect that (most likely the devs don't care about us).

The result is being unable to scroll in popular GTK apps like Wireshark or Pidgin.
