Camera Zoom
Camera Zoom adds adjustable third-person camera distance to Immersive Aircraft.
Move the camera closer for precise flying and landings, or farther away for larger aircraft and better visibility. Camera distance changes smoothly and can be saved separately for each aircraft type.
Required: This is a client-side add-on. Immersive Aircraft must also be installed.
Features
- Smooth adjustable third-person camera distance
- Step-based or continuous zoom controls
- Four presets: Close, Standard, Wide, and Cinematic
- Separate saved camera distance for each aircraft type
- Optional speed-based camera pullback
- Smooth recovery after walls or other obstacles block the camera
- Compact fading camera HUD
- Support for compatible Immersive Aircraft add-on vehicles
Controls
| Page Up | Zoom out; hold for continuous movement |
| Page Down | Zoom in; hold for continuous movement |
| Home | Reset to the standard aircraft view |
| End | Cycle through camera presets |
Controls can be changed in Minecraft's keybind settings and only apply while riding a compatible aircraft in third-person view.
