Hi Evan,

Thanks, but I already know how to change the UZO and Periscpes zoom using S3D. But I made a mistake. And other people made the same mistake:

I finally found out why I couldn't change zoom factors and I think it's worth to be posted here so that other people can use that information:

I made a backup copy of cameras.dat (called cameras1.dat) in the same library-folder. Unfortunately SH3 seems to read in all files in the library folder regardless of their file names (!!!!!) so that the old zoom values were read in instead of the new ones. Zoom was not changed.

Then I moved the backup file cameras1.dat to a different folder and - yeah - now the zoom changed.
