Yay, yet another NWD port. I'm working on it though, and v1.1 already contains a lot more of my own work than 1.0
What originally started as an O2 learning project turned into and NWD Scopes&ballistics port with some new content too. The sights in this pack should now be "properly" ported over with working day and nightreticles and no .rpt-errors. New content includes a correct TA31RCO-reticle for Acogs, new textures for PSO reticles, a 1P29 reticle, a new texture for 10x mildot-reticle, new SUSAT-reticle for PUKF-weapons users and a TA11FIN-reticle, a 3.5x35 Acog calibrated for 7.62x39, as well as a Steyr Aug "military style"-reticle for whatever you want to use them for. I've also included a replacement-config for RH Weapons users that'll make those weapons use the new reticles. There's also a replacement config for ACE.
All reticles are best used with the included ballistics addon, which is basically an NWD_Ballistics port. I've also included a small addon for GMJ_SightAdjustment users that attempts to make the scopes more like their real-life counterparts what comes to max adjustment and adjustment intervals. I've also included a pack of rangecards for these ballistics. The addon is modular so that you can pick and use those reticles you want up to a certain degree, but just make sure the common files used by most reticles are always there. See readme for more on this.
Needless to it's either this or the 31ST MEU-pack, as both modify the same things and won't probably like each other that much. The ballistics part is also not recommended to be used with ACE Scopes works great with ACE and is recommended for it.

*******************
What it does:
-------------
Replacement scopes for most infantryweapons in stock Arma2 and a few extra ones for addons. Working day and night reticles for those
scopes which should have them. The change between day/night is automatic.
Also re-zeroes most scoped and ironsighted weapons in the game to more realistic values.
Basically silenced weapons are zeroed to 100 meters, assault rifles, snipers and machineguns to 300,
heavy snipers and mounted machineguns to 500 meters. A few exceptions exist.
Based on NonWonderDog's excellent "NWD_ScopeFix" from Arma1.
Installation:
-------------
A:
- Copy all folders from the "To Arma2 folder" to your Arma2\
- Copy also those additional .pbos you want to use from the "Extras"-folder
- Add "-mod=@fnc_scopes" to your arma2-shortcut\launcher\whatever you use
- Check Arma2\userconfig\fnc_ballistics\ for additional config options
or
B:
If you are familiar with mod installation just put the files into folders of your choice. Remember to move the userconfig-files to
their proper place in "arma2\userconfig\fnc_ballistics"
NOTE: The addon is modular so that the only file you absolutely need is "fnc_scopes_common_m.pbo". All the others can be taken out
if you don't like a particular scope.
Extras:
-------
fnc_scopes_acex_c.pbo Enables the scopes in this pack for ACEX weapons.
fnc_scopes_sightadjustment_c.pbo A "plugin" for users of GMJ_SightAdjustment. Attempts make the scopes mimic their real-life
counterparts in how much you can adjust them, adjustment intervals etc...
fnc_scopes_susat_c.pbo Replacement config and model for the PUKF-weapons SUSAT-reticle.
fnc_scopes_susat_m.pbo
fnc_scopes_acogrhm4_c.pbo Replace RH-weapons Acog- and M145-reticles with those of this pack.
fnc_scopes_acogrh416_c.pbo
Reticles without replacement config:
-----------------------------------
See "PBO_Sources/fnc_reticlename_c/cfgWeapons.hpp" for the correct config values for these scopes if you want to use it for a weapon.
Do not deviate from those values, or the reticle will be out of scale and/or the bullet drop compensator's won't match.
fnc_scopes_acogfinnish_m.pbo TA11FIN-Acog used by Finnish Defence Forces. Reticle calibrated for the 7.62x39-round
and magazine in "fnc_ballistics".
fnc_scopes_steyraug_m.pbo "Old style" Steyr Aug military reticle.
Usage:
------
Pick up a scoped weapon and enjoy!
Requirements:
-------------
None, but the scopes are calibrated for the ballistics in "fnc_ballistics" and it is strongly recommended to use that.
"GMJ_SightAdjustment" is also recommended, as well as "fnc_muzzlevelocity".
Multiplayer:
-----------
This addon is client-side only and fully MP-compatible in this respect.
The .pbos are signed with a key unique to this addon only. Key and signatures are included.
Mod conflicts:
--------------
31ST MEU Scopes&Ballistics deals with the same area, so it cannot be used with this.
ACE and ACEX users should check the userconfig-file for an additional settings that will enable the scopes for ACE content.
Bugs:
-----
None that I know of

Even though most of the scopes are by now of my own work I couldn't have made them without reading on NWD's findings on optics in Arma.
A few direct NWD-copies also still remain in the pack.
