Experimental - You Can Zoom While Looking Down Sights!

[tatchell (DayZ) 73]

+ and - on the numpad also manually change FOV.

Wowow, can you actually do that? I tried looking for FOV in the key bindings list but saw nothing...

[Katana67 2907]

Neat!

[Capo 323]

gews you beautiful bastard! look what you did! :D

How did you manage to control the zoom variably? Like the first time you zoom it's kind of bit-by-bit. How do you do that if this is just surely holding down right-click?

it bugged on the first press for some reason.

 

zoom has been in since release noobs its the + key on your numpad rebind it to right click herp a derp

:facepalm:

Could be wrong but i am sure i saw irish post a pic of what he plays dayz with which was some space age looking mouse /controller with analogue levers on it i would say he has one of these analogue controls made to be his zoom so he can control it. I am one of those guys who uses a controller so i have an analogue trigger for it plus i use pedals to analogue control my leaning.

Negative. I have right mouse click as my zoom. Just like everyone else, essentially.

 

Also, this is in fact iron sight zoom. Not some trick or FOV or anything other than literally having back iron sight right click zoom.

 

Apparently everyone at Redditt thinks I am a total noob for posting this up, as they all state its been known since March that they added in iron sight zoom to Exp. servers? WTF?

F12 is the default for steam screenshots. Trust me, I know.

Oh shit it's thy Gabe God! I'm sorry for messing up on your defaulted keys oh great Master Gabe!

They also added a hurt animation that makes you move slow when you have fractured bones.

 

Hopefully they add more hurt animations and have a deeper medical system no more get shot in the throat with a shotgun ooo let me rip my shirt and fully heal myself crap.

BUT the zoom is also fixed on the PU scope.

 

Na... it ain't fixed.

 

Saw someone post "PU now has correct zoom" on Reddit, checked, and... they were comparing it to the initial zoomed out level, not the zoomed in level as they are supposed to. And even then it was only 3.3x. <_<

 

There have been no changes to the PU's zoom, it's the same as ever.

Isn't that also dependent on what your fov is set at ?

Good question.. 

 

???

Nope, at any FoV it will always be the same magnification compared to the iron sights at that FoV.

[gibonez 3633]

Nope, at any FoV it will always be the same magnification compared to the iron sights at that FoV.

 

Ic so the lower the FOV is the higher the perceived magnification ?

 

High fov  =  0.5 x 3.3

Low fov = 1.5x 3.3

Yeah, like that. But not 3.3x. It's the inconsistencies between scopes, iron sights and normal vision that is the problem, the PU scope is not providing a 3.5x larger magnification than your player's eyes do.

Well, I think it is better than it used to be... I didnt really have any way to measure it (and I only had a damaged one)
