31st MEU Replacement Reticles and Realistic Ballistics

[vilas 473]

i am not good at photoshop so i can't do good and realistic scopes reticles for P85

but i wonder if you or other persons could do such reticles, that fit realism for P85?

to calibrate those reticles that those points, lines fit real ranges

is you or any other person can do such realistic reticles for P85 weapons and for SAKO from my Polish pack ?

i don't have time to sit for hours and check bullet drop point, scale it, change line on scope reticle texture to fit it

and i have no skills in Photoshop (my Corel do not support alpha channel enough good)

@kju - I'll check it out

@vilas - I've got a little bit on my plate at the moment, as I'm working with another mod creator on their mod and working on a stand alone mod of my own, but if you want to send me some stuff to start with, I can look into it and see what you're looking for. I can't make any promises at this time, though, since my hands are a bit full, but I will definitely let you know!

I would like to point out that it depends on how the optic is designed, how the zoom will look. what you see there in that clip, the reticle is located at the first focal(objective) which means that the reticle always covers the same amount of the target. Other scopes have the reticle placed at the second focal(ocular) here the reticle is constant in size and its the targets size that change when you zoom.

@STGN - Correct, which is what the second youtube was demonstrating. However, it would be nice to be able to create some first focal plane reticles for the variable powered scopes. Right now, everything is in the second focal plane, in-game.

Does anyone have key/signation validation problems with this mod?

[MirindoR 10]

this seems the mod i was looking for, but i have a few questions: since the acog rco is a 2 eyes open scope, could it be possible to use it like a red dot, meaning u still see the weapon and the scope itself while you're zoomed in?

i think cod4 had done it rather well, screenie here http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/post-81387-1203744119.jpg

it gives the impression you're actually looking through it, instead of getting the black screen.

also the way it seems to glow is nice, compared to the acog usually looking like it has ben drawn on the scope with a pen.

Thanks kju. I've already fixed the config. I'm working on two other projects right now, and I haven't released an updated version yet. I'm actually working on another major update to this too, before I release an update. So make that 3 other projects...

@MirindoR - First off, that ACOG doesn't have a 4x magnification, so I'm not even considering it. Second, in order to do something like that, you should read this thread:

Alright, I've updated this reticle pack to version 2.0. It's been a while, but here are the latest updates:

1) Made this compliant with ACE 2. I've included a userconfig file. If you want to play with this reticle pack and ACE, simply extract your desired reticle pack into the root ArmA 2 directory, and viola. It will work.

If you are not using ACE 2, you will need to go to ArmA 2\userconfig\31stMEU\ and open up the .hpp in there. You will then need to change the last line from "#define RETICLE_ACE" to "//#define RETICLE_ACE" This will make it so you don't receive any errors when you are not running ACE.

2) Tweaked the optics on a few weapons. The M107 now has a true 4.5-14x optic. Before this update, it was actually about 5.6-14x, but now it's 4.5 as it should be. The TAC-50, M109, and AS50 all have the same optic, 4.5-14x, as well.

Also, I changed the M110 from a fixed 10x optic to a variable powered 3-10x.

3) Fixed the config dependencies.

I have updated the readme to reflect these changes. The readme is long, so if you do not feel like reading everything or at least looking at the pretty pictures I presented in it, at least read the installation notes on page 3. It's a pretty straight forward install: Pick, and Extract, then add to your shortcut or ArmA 2 launcher. If you do not have ACE 2, then you will need to modify the userconfig.

Some of the reticles will not change in ACE, specifically most of the OpFor weapons because the ACE Team is using the same reticles in their mod. But for non-ACE users, they will change. For ACE users, as well as non-ace, the bluefor weapons will change.

Sorry for the bump

The latest release excludes the range cards all together for the GMJ Sight Adjustment mod

I have found a release of the pack that does include range cards but I am worried that these may be off the mark considering the latest updates and all

[_Slider_ 10]

Any word on the new range cards being added? or if we should enter them manually with sight adjustment mod range cards??

Great MOD!!! I will play around with ranges out to 2500m for the M107 and post soon...
