Silent Service 2 (SH2) - External view zoom question

[frankiekam]

Hiya

I fired up SH2 yesterday. Loaded quite a number of mod goodies for this goldie of an oldie. I have a question on the external view zoom:



Q1: The zoom with Control-Up or Control-Down arrow keys are limited. I can't zoom or unzoom all the way. For example in the image above, I have already zoomed the maximum zoom. Yet, stock vanilla SH2 limits the amount of zoom one can do in the external view. Bummer.
How can I zoom or unzoom unlimited, all the way, so that the submarine completely fills my screen? Any hack of the sim.ini file to achieve this?

Q2: I enabled the sim.ini, once the sub is submerged, to allow one to view the sub in both below and above the waves kinda-view. That is nice when checking out the charging destroyer and the already crash-dived sub. My question is this: when the submarine is surfaced, with the external view keys, I cannot view it from underwater, looking up towards the sub. Is there any way I can view the surfaced submarine in both above and below the waves kind of view?
