VTS Simple weapon resting

Recommended Posts

Really useful mod, nice!

Would be nice to see an automatic option/version as mentioned before, possibly without the icon and only the weapon resting noise as a indicator? Or a bit more alpha transparency on the icon or something so it's more subtle. This only because it can become quite distracting trying to rest the weapon when in closer type firefights.

I second the adjustment on the Icon.. maybe smaller? translucent maybe? Or just a quick hint.. I also feel it distracts a bit..

I find this mod brilliant!!! The amount of recoil reduction was chosen perfectly in that at distance you get less recoil but its still not laser like at all.Another thing I love is how you must find good firing positions and this just opens the game up to me immersion wise.Where before I just laid down anywhere I now find myself looking for good positions where the angle of the ground allows me to deploy.BIS should also prevent the amount you are allowed to lean upwards as first it looks off and secondly its a real immersion boost to have to find better firing positions IMO.What I do not like though is that BIS prevents you from laying down on angles too steep.This feels off to me when being fired upon and I just wanna get as low as possible.:(

Please add in sway reduction as that is an important part of weapon resting.

Does this mod support the LRR .408?

I don't think is does because the gun moves up, down, left and right.

Enjoying this one. thanks! one thing, a bipod should be limiting to the angle you can rotate your rifle to as in the ace2 mod. not sure how easy that'd be to implement.\ but itd be good. :)

It should support all weapons if you are prone. It will also work if you are able to lean on something as well.

I don't think so. You can't "deploy" weapons that easily on the ground. Most of the time you see soldier to lay their weapons upon their backpacks.

In ACE you could only deploy bipods on the ground and all the other weapons on objects and i think that was the best realism/gameplay compromise.

First up, I really like your addon and think it's a welcome addition. Thanks for releasing it.

I understand that gameplay/game engine may be a limitation, but here's some food for thought on how bipods can still work on objects other than the ground.

(Not my pics, but taken in a Magpul class I took)

A rifle can be surprisingly stable this way, so allowing a rifle with a bipod (in game) to stabilize on a wall or object is still realistic.

At the end of the day, it's great the way it is and I'll continue to use it, but thought I'd put that out there.

Just wanted you to know that with the latest development build (that has full Beta content) your Mod does not work anymore...

There's so much to do in the Beta, so don't worry if you can or want not to fix this anytime soon! :D

Yay!

error is related to CBA not this mod - hotfix is available in the CBA thread until an official update is available.

Ok here it is, from the DEV's themselves, configFile >> CfgImprecision, is where we can change the sway of the weapons, can you look into this?

thanks

This is great to remove those times when you are standing near an object with weapon rested on it and the weapon is swaying like crazy......immersion destroying! But this is only for weapon rested recoil (and now sway).We still have the excessive recoil when crouching and standing.One thing I would like to see to really complete it is to combine in the Nikoteen recoil mod fix so you get a bit less recoil overall and then retweak VTS weapon resting to get same effect as now when rested.If you use both mods the recoil will be very little unless they are worked into one mod.

I don't know if i'm being a dumbass but, when I try and start up the game I get this error https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1075478_565401196837211_364869200_o.jpg But i'm pretty sure i put the file in the right place :(

Help anyone?

You have to copy the folder userconfig from the archive into the main ArmA folder/the content of the userconfig form the archive into the userconfig folder inside the ArmA main folder.
