More ZOOM Levels (outside)

Hello developers,
the current zoom levels are not sufficient. Especially to build many farms fastly, the farthest zoom level is (much) too far away, and the level before is "ok", but not good enough for a suitable overview.
Is it possible to add one more zoom level, which is between both zoom levels?
It´s also ok for me, to customize a configuration (file) with instructions, thanks
Best regards
Alex

Yes, if you don't mind mending with config files, that is actually possible.

Browse to the file "c:\Users\<yourusername>\Documents\My Games\Tropico6\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini"

In there, search under the section "[/game/blueprints/bp_t6camerapawn.bp_t6camerapawn_c]" for the entry "CameraZoomBounds" it should be like this:

CameraZoomBounds=(X=2500.000000,Y=56000.000000)

Change the second number to a higher value. Its the distance to the landscape in units until the archipeligo view is triggered.

(However, be aware that the archipeligo view has certain performance optimizations in place to better handle the amount of "things" you see, which are not active if you are in "normal zoom". So if you set this number too high, your framerate might suffer.)

PS: If you mess up, delete the file to restore it to default settings. However, that will also kill your custom option settings..

Thank you! In my case, I don't want archipelago view at all!

@Imi: Thanks a lot, that worked great for me :-) I backuped the the GameUserSettings first and changed the Y value to 75000 instead of 56000 to get an better overview - thanks, I love it
