Binoculars problem

[ru55lee 2]

Hey guys. Basically I can't use or see the Binoculars on my inventory. I know plenty of SP missions have them at start but I just cant see them on my inventory anymore. One mission I tried has a loadout box, so I found binoculars in there and when I put them onto my gear, it vanished.....but I was then able to use it.

Any ideas?

do you use the development branch?

have exact the same problem can't pickup any binoculars, rangefinder and laser designators out of any ammo boxes.

I do use development branch and it seems to be broken, will do further test and observation then report back.

okay there is a problem in the development branch

made a ticket in the Feedback Tracker http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=14946, please vote.

Binoculars, Rangefinder and Laser Designators are invisible in inventory if you pick them out of an ammo box.

You can use them as normal.

The corresponding icon for Binoculars/Rangefinders/Laser Designators is missing in the inventory.

[ru55lee 2]

The issue is not resolved with latest dev build :D

[maquez 141]

[Necramonium 10]

Nope, its still there with me...

[maquez 141]

I have an issue where I am holding Binoculars but never see thought them when I right click. I just zoom in like I would if not using them. Another issue which I think is related is I never look down the barrel or scope of a gun. Just cross-hairs in the middle of the screen. Is there a fix for this?

1) Pressing B equips binoculars, doesn't use them.

2) Tapping RMB makes you look through them (Not pressing)

3) LMB+wheel adjusts zoom

4) holding RMB holds breath.

EDIT: OK guess on my mouse I have to quickly tap the RMB, guess my standerd click is a press. All is working, move along now, nothing to see here.

One bug fixed, but the devs really need to re-design the keyboard layout.

For everything else you hold in your hands, be it a gun, rocketlaucher etc, you have to press LMB to use it. But not on Binocs. Consistency would be nice. LMB for everything.

anyone know if there's a difference between raised and readied binocs? i looked at myself with command view and camera, but it seems there's no animated transition between just holding the binocs and looking through them.

I believe you can use freelook.

I cannot pick up any compass, watch etc. If i put mine down in a corpe and try to pick them up again they vanish.

I noticed the problem in "Death Valley" as I cannot pick up a UAV terminal, The game is now unplayable as I need a UAV to complete the mission.

Just heading off to upvote that bug report.

Same problem 05-04-15 Main Branch, Death Valley

Sorry different issue.

Anyone know how I can post a thread. I'm new and not allowed. Or even better can anyone help solve my problem.

Things vanish as I put them in my inventory (from a corpse) The UAV terminal does not appear in the menu or inventory but disappears from the world.

Thanks
