Field Of View

[Predator555 0]

In Armed Assault there is a feature where you can zoom out to give a wider view of surrounding terrain. Now there are 2 ways of doing this, either shift zoom where you must hold the selected key to remain zoomed out otherwise it returns to the default view and toggle zoom out where you simply press the key once and after you let go of the button it remains in the zoomed out mode. my problem is that with weapons with scopes such as ACOGs for example the toggle zoom out feature does not work

does anyone else know what im talking about and is there a solution to this problem?

any responses would be greatly appreciated

Most 2-dimensional optics in ArmA are completely fixed in FOV, they don't zoom in our out because most of these optics in real life are fixed and don't zoom in our out.

The SPR's scope being a rare exception. The only "problem" is expecting uncharacteristic behavior for a more-or-less properly simulated game.

No, Preds right, weapons with scopes dont have the option to "lock" the zoomed out view that came with 1.14.

Nothing to do with the use of the scopes themselves.

Although to be honest, i'm using the 1.08 FOV fix.

im not talking about when using the scope, but when at the low ready position

So pressing the numpad + / - buttons doesn't lock it to whatever you set it at?

the - key will only allow you to be zoomed out so long as you are holding that button when you are using a weapon with a scope lika an ACOG. but i want to toggle it so that i dont have to hold that button down all the time, the key i have set is numpad enter and this works for weapons with ironsights or aimpoints but not with scoped weapons

In short, the Zoom Out Toggle (default 2xNum_Minus?) doesn't work when using weapons with a 2d scope. So it's inconsistent.

anyone else find this annoying or is there a fix for it?

I mentioned this a while ago on some other thread and it does only apply to scoped weapons.
