VTS Simple weapon resting

[l etranger 5]

Hi,

Our server community was missing the possibility to rest our weapons and improve our shooting stability, so while waiting for BIS to implement it or ACE to be release, I cooked this and feeling sharing it :

-Resting your weapon reduce the recoil of your muzzle and the sway of your aim.

-It does work with every weapons (even future addons one).

-You can rest the weapon on windows frames, top and on corners of objects.

-You can also rest your weapon on a crouched partner.

The default keys to rest your weapon is : Space + Ctrl.

Installation :

-Extract both folder into your Arma 3 installation.

-Launch arma with the shortcut -mod=@VTS_weaponresting

-(Optional) Edit userconfig/vts_weaponresting/vts_weaponresting_config.hpp to change the shortcut

Cheer.

Nice work L etranger. It's the same as ACE does, that's perfect.

Nice job ! very useful.

[chrisb 196]

Thanks, a great addon, really needed..

Next to the aiming sway issue, it works like a charm.

Please find a way to reduce the weapon sway and this addon will become essential.

Hi, looks like a great addon; i've seen the video where it shows how the weapon is rested on the pal, and i think that it should rest on the pal's shoulder instead on his/her back. It's common to do it that way IRL with the MG3. Very good addon anyways. Let's C ya

Well Done, Now only if we can get bi-pods to work. Now I have yet to test this our but how much side to side aiming do you have?

[kremator 1065]

Excellent, as always L'Etranger !

@sgt_Savage2003: If you watch the Video you can see him using his guns Bipod, right around the end.

Nice Mod, was really missing this feature.

[kremator 1065]

Just had a little play with it. Just fantastic! I have mapped it ONLY to space (ala ACE2) and it 'does what it says on the tin'. I take it there is no animate command for bipods yet (thinking on the MX SW of course)?

[Djinn 10]

yesssssssss. Nice work!

I know you said in the op that this works with "every weapon". I'm just double checking, but this means weapons in mods too, right?

[l etranger 5]

@Djin : Yes, it's not weapon Dependant so any new weapons would have the resting ability too.

@Wipman : It's far from perfect, and having to aim exactly to a shoulder would take you 5 seconds ingame, where IRL you would do it in 1 second. I'm more on the side of a having smooth flow.

@sgt_savage : Once your weapon is resting, you can slide it on the cover has long it still have "contact" with it.

Great work!

[nanucq 22]

Awesome, love it !

[PTV-Jobo 820]

FINALLY! All I can say is one massive "thank you!".

[Nikoteen 24]

Good one, l'étranger. I expected this mod in anticipation of ACE 3.

Thank you !

[dunedain 48]

Very good. Although I really hope weapon resting and bipods will we standard features before the release of ArmaIII. :p

[kremator 1065]

That's the beauty of this community ... we dont NEED BIS to make it now. They can get on with doing other things - L'Etranger has this one in the bag !

Now all we need is for him to take over Mandoble's guruship :)
