Camera Zoom malfunction?

[TheBirthdayParty]

Alright. This is the situation. I got the game(its great by the way ;) ) and was able to use many different levels of camera zoom. Then one day I was playing and i zoomed all the way out and went to zoom back in, but could not go back to the level of zoom i was used to playing at. I am a bit too close to the map now or I have to zoom all the way out. I wish I could put a label(number) to how far or close I am to the map using the zoom function, but the levels I was at before are gone. It seems there's only 3 now. Far out so clouds are int he way, really close to the map, or almost at street level. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to fix it? I checked the options for camera zoom options and found nothing.

Do you have "wide angle" enabled? Not sure if that would have an effect, I did notice when playing that with "wide angle" enabled it changed my zoom function!

You can hit the "end" key to release the camera so it isn't locked into the three zoom levels. Once you unlock the camera, you can zoom in or out smoothly.

Wow, didnt know about that "End" function. In anno 1602/1503, you had like 4 different angles of viewing...and now you have a full 360 degrees circle of viewing. I already liked that a lot, but now also smooth zooming...Anno 1701 gets greater and greater :wink:.
