John_Lennon 10 Posted March 8, 2013 Hi Is it possible to do the following with only 1 mouse-click?: - the soldier takes the weapon to iron sight - the scene is zoomed in (without holding the right mouse-button f.e.) I would like to set this two actions on the right-mouse-button-click. I hope its possible... Thanks for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted March 8, 2013 Try setting RMB click for both "zoom in" and aiming down sights. Check control settings. One will have "RMB click" the other "RMB hold". I would suggest you to get used to how it is now however because you want to maintain situational awareness which "zoomed out" view provides (it simulates peripheral vision, while "zoom in" is what you really see within boundaries of your monitor) It's quite comfortable once you get used to it because when you want to move while aiming down sights you want all the peripheral vision you get. Then when you spot an enemy you simply hold RMB and engage. Then release it when you are done. Better reconfigure 'hold breath' button to something else due to breathing simulation changes in A3. Otherwise you will always be out of breath when "zoomed in" and thus huge aim shake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John_Lennon 10 Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks! I will try it this evening after work :-) ... For my understanding the zoom is simulating focusing in real life. And when you aim down the sights your view is focused.. the controls could be easier this way, at least for me :-) .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted March 8, 2013 It's not focus. As Suma (the lead programmer) once explained - viewing the game world through the monitor screen is like putting same sized box over your head with the front side being cut out. So when you are zoomed out - it's the real (or close to real) area of vision you have IRL... However when you zoom in - it's what you would've seen if you would be looking through a 23" window (or whatever " your monitor is) in front of your eyes. It's an unfortunate limitation of viewing a game world through a monitor. It's not as important in other shooters since enemies are pretty close there, but in ArmA they can be hundreds of meters away so it's the compromise that had to be done. That's why some people do 3 or 6 monitor setups to get that real peripheral vision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
