No, you can try the half zoom version made by another if you wanted
less zoom:

there's a way to adjust the amount of zoom?
Loup gris 21 Mar, 2024 @ 11:27pm 
Understand, anyway, thank you and Axle too. :steamthumbsup:
Gunter Severloh  [author] 21 Mar, 2024 @ 3:40pm 
I could but Axle would have to update the page here, unless he does it, currently
dont really have the time for it as im working on other things.

Hello Gunter, is it possible to make it compat with Faces of War ?
Otherwise good job and many Thanks !

This is a somewhat related request: is it possible to make it so that pilots in planes can have more zoom? I've always wanted some sort of "Binoculars in Planes" mod, but I've never seen one. I fly a lot of Vietnam and WW2 ops, so that's why I've been wanting it so much. I don't know how to mod Arma, but I do know there is a "minumum fov" attribute to every air vehicle. If you could make one or something that allows like 10x zoom in a plane, I'd love it.
Gunter Severloh  [author] 8 Mar, 2024 @ 5:18pm 
I leave that up to Axle, to busy with other projects.
sKullFalcon 8 Mar, 2024 @ 8:38am 
Could you add NiArms support? Fantastic mod dude
ANZACSAS Steven 12 Feb, 2024 @ 3:03am

I won't be making a patch for unsung.
Gunter Severloh  [author] 3 Feb, 2024 @ 8:55pm 
Not coded for unsung, works for SOG CDDLC though.
Deston 3 Feb, 2024 @ 8:52pm 
This is not working in the Unsung mod, anyone here can help?

I have my keys setup where i can use the temp zoom for one key when i need to use it
without looking down my sights for a gun, so no its not always zoomed out, then when i
right click my weapon sights zoom.
My sights dont zoom til i go to iron sights, that would be my suggestion as you can bind the same keys, you dont need a toggle option, i show you in the video of what the weapons
look like when i zoom, i have other videos on my channel with the same setup and zoom.
Sometimes it comes down to a matter of tactics with zooming, i have a video
that goes over tactics and strategy in close quarters and distances in a scenario i built
https://youtu.be/vRQz_dsjyfE
learn to know when to use the zoom based on distances and where and what the position
of the enemy is.
Shadoware 13 Jan, 2024 @ 11:46am 
The zoom works very well.

The game dont really let many options available to customize the keybindings.
Thanks anyway.
Axle  [author] 13 Jan, 2024 @ 11:31am 
@Shadoware

Ok I'm just going to say what you're asking is basically impossible right now. We can't do a keybind because this mod edits the weapon data itself in a config file. It's not really a script so something like a keybind to change this on the fly wouldn't work, so CBA wouldn't apply here either.

I just recommend not using it if it doesn't work with your group. Maybe someone will find a solution in the future, but a keybind can't be done. Just don't use the mod. It's zoom or nothing.
Shadoware 13 Jan, 2024 @ 11:25am 
In close quartes it would be better to not have zoom at all.
Shadoware 13 Jan, 2024 @ 11:25am 
The button to zoom makes zoom out function when the game is already zoomed but it cannot keep it. There's toggle version too but it woud interfere with zoom in other moments.
There's an option in the game called "Temporary zoom" that could work if we could make it work just when we want to and not everytime we right click the mouse.
Gunter Severloh  [author] 13 Jan, 2024 @ 3:11am 
Just dont press the button to zoom.
Shadoware 12 Jan, 2024 @ 3:02pm 
Add a keybinding to enable/disable this mod during game play.
Sometimes we need no zoom in the weapon.
Gunter Severloh  [author] 8 Jan, 2024 @ 7:16am 
Idk try it.
Shadoware 8 Jan, 2024 @ 6:47am 
Does it works with ACE?
Gunter Severloh  [author] 14 Dec, 2023 @ 4:42pm 
The zooms for those 2 RHS mods are changeable just need to be updated to use the latest
classnames for the mods as far as im aware as in the past i dont recall anymore RHS had
an update which changed some things and now those zooms stopped working.

About the only method i use to keep the format clean looking is i mainly use notepad++ for
the code and then when i write a code that is done and move to the next one, i basically
just copy what i did, paste it, checking syntax's, and spacing and then just update the values
based on the next line.
This version of the mod was created by Axle so most of it is his work, though he took my
mod and basically upgraded it and created this, so you can ask him too.
SUSOVALORD 14 Dec, 2023 @ 2:59pm 
and do you mind sharing specific methods in making the codes neat?
SUSOVALORD 14 Dec, 2023 @ 2:58pm 
well. are zoom levels in RHSSAF and RHSGREF weapons unchangeable?
Gunter Severloh  [author] 14 Dec, 2023 @ 2:53pm 
Idk what your asking in your first question if thats a question.
As for your second question, making it neat is just keeping everything aligned and formatted.
SUSOVALORD 13 Dec, 2023 @ 5:51pm 
And also, how do you make the codes in zoom-change file so neat? Im not a pro even in using computer so i just copy&paste the config.cfg in these weapon mods and only edit the ''opticszoom'' codes in order to give a change to zoom levels (without deleting other codes).

if you dont know what im saying, please go check my zoom-change mods and take a look at the files. im sorry for my poor English ;)
SUSOVALORD 13 Dec, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
Well. Why can I still change the zoom level in RHSSAF and RHSGREF weapons after given a change to ''opticszoom'' codes in RHSSAF and RHSGREF. I think they should work properly like what I did to RHSUSAF or RHSAFRF weapons.
Gunter Severloh  [author] 13 Dec, 2023 @ 4:37pm 
Ask me here.
SUSOVALORD 12 Dec, 2023 @ 2:56am 
hi! i wanna send you a friend request for some questions if you dont mind:D

Really nice! now became an iron sight CQB lover.
Gunter Severloh  [author] 15 Sep, 2023 @ 4:10pm 
Should work both client and server.
Dont need to put it on a server.
Geko 15 Sep, 2023 @ 3:39pm 
Hello! is this one Server side?

@Marc

I fixed the issues with the RCO
Gunter Severloh  [author] 2 Sep, 2023 @ 12:00pm 
Works for USAF, Russian weapons but not gref, or SSAF, but if you put vanilla attachments on those guns they will zoom.
Deston 2 Sep, 2023 @ 10:33am 
It does not work for RHS.
JAC_Carver 23 Aug, 2023 @ 10:25pm 
It seems that the authenticity is the highest:heartp:
Gunter Severloh  [author] 16 Aug, 2023 @ 4:37pm 
Scopes wont have the zoom on them, thats intentional.
Ya some attachments wont zoom either.
󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡Marc🦈 16 Aug, 2023 @ 2:48pm 
@Gunter Severloh

For Spearhead DLC, the scoped Kar98k isn't zoomed. Not sure if that's intentional or not, when switching between regular iron sights and the ZF39 scope.

Also Vanilla RCO scope seems bugged. Scope isn't zoomed into.
Logic 9 Aug, 2023 @ 12:36pm 
Then there's my ass who uses mods to remove zoom entirely :3
SUSOVALORD 6 Aug, 2023 @ 11:19pm 
@YipMan Just wanna tell you I finished my learning and published a no zoom mod for Tier1 Weapons.Check if you can find it:D
Gunter Severloh  [author] 6 Aug, 2023 @ 5:12pm 
You can already do that in the game without the mod, this mod does it automatically
eliminating the need to use a key to press to do it.
EsperLynx(エスパーリンク) 6 Aug, 2023 @ 3:32pm 
Is it possible to zoom all the way out than in automatically?
Gunter Severloh  [author] 6 Aug, 2023 @ 2:22pm 
Updated the description and added the workshop link to the no zoom version
at the bottom.
