This is mind bogglingly easy to fix.  But what is the desired
behavior?  What I want is a limit that will tell me when I've zoomed
to as far as a human pilot would actually be able to see from the
cockpit.

What do you guys want?  If you want to overzoom only from the
non-cockpit views (which aren't "realistic" anyway), then we can
predicate it on the current view number.  If you want to ignore the
feature, we can make a simple preference property.  If you want both,
then we need to decide on a more complicated interface.

Again, IMHO it's a realism thing.  Computer monitors don't have the
spacial resolution that an eye does, so we have to allow for zoom.
But pilots don't usually have telescopes in the cockpit, so it should
by default be limited to something approximating real life.
