Left Thumbstick Zoom

Description
This mod adds the ability to use the throttle joystick y-axis to zoom the TGP, RADAR, TSD, and NAV, all without lifting a finger!
It works exactly the same as on the EF-24G for all vehicles except the AH-94.

To invert the zoom axis, go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\3018410\3427575906
and configure options.json

This mod has also been tested and verified working with the following mods:
-F/A-26B Block 3 Upgrade
-A-10 Mod
-F-16 Mod
Basically any modded plane that uses vanilla MFDs will work.

NOTE: PRESS THE THUMBSTICK TO TOGGLE BETWEEN ZOOM AND CONTROL ENGINE TILT/RADAR SLEWING!

Alright guys, new update. I've fixed the bug that Laniakea was talking about with the AI AV-42C's. Let me know if it continues. I've also disabled the thumbstick click on vehicles like the F/A-26B and others that don't have VTOL capability, since there's nothing else bound.
Let me know if there's any more issues.

@octxly I know, I'm a software developer too, I know that feeling, lol. Keep up the great work, cheers.

So after further investigation...I am really stumped. For me, whenever the mod is active, the AV-42Cs in the Open Water mission seem to take off into the stratosphere, never able to transition to forward flight. Even disabling all of the mod's functionality doesn't make a difference. I'll try to recreate the bug again, but I have no idea

I seem to be overriding the AI's controls lmao. I'll push out a patch soon

@octxly After some tests, I can confirm that if I click the thumbstick in the middle of the mission, that indeed changes the behavior of the AI AV-42. It feels like when ever the AI is struggling, I just need to click the thumbstick once to make them happy, after a while they start to wobble again I just need to click the thumb one more time to let them happy. But I can't monitoring them all the time over the entire mission.

@Laniakea, does it change if you click the thumbstick?
I think I may have accidentally overrode the AI's flight controls instead of just the player's.

I'm looking into that now.

In missions the NPC controlled AV-42C got f*cked by this mod. If you play AV-42C single player Islands mission "Open Water", the other two AV-42C controled by computer are flying like crazy and will never trigger the next mission objective, making the mission not doable, must disable this mod to fix.

is it possible to make this work with the s-cam, like the camcorder?
