Poll: Illuminated sights
Some time ago it was proposed to me to change the way illuminated sights (Shortdots and Nightforce ATACRs) are set up right now to the RHS system of using the N-key to switch between the modes of an illuminated sight. That is not easily appliable to my mod since it requires a lot of scripting (at which I suck). So, what option would you prefer?

a) Keep it the way it is now: Two optic modes with a normal and an illuminated reticle. Disadvantages: One more optic mode to go through before getting to the red dot/iron sights for CQB and ArmA does reset the zoom when switching the optic mode.

b) Get rid of the non-illuminated reticles since they offer no advantage in ArmA anyway. Disadvantage: a bit less realism; advantage: quicker switch to a (sometimes lifesaving) secondary sight.

Option B sounds better because the user doesn't have to click as much

B my man,

Also, I see in CBA controls an option for toggling the reticle. That may help, I don't know

Option B is more practical. Now that we are on this topic : I love how the 1-4x shortdot in project True Viking mod also has a 1x 3D mode, similar to the Elcan Spectres in RHS, but this seems a complicated feature, and would once again add an extra click for getting to the desired optics mode.

Thanks, I will look into that. Would be the perfect solution.

Today I have spent adapting CBA scripted scope system to the long-range scopes. It works quite well...

The only issue is the low resolution on some lower zoom stages which is odd since the reticles are 4096x4096 textures. Anyone has any experience with that?
