How to use the long range scope?

[Robert Neville 59]

Apologies for the rookie question.  How do you zoom in/out with the long range scope after you attach it to the Mosin?  The file says that it can be manually set from 200 to 800m. 

 

Thanks in advance.

What your talking about is zeroing not zoom, to zoom you need to either hold the right mouse button OR use the plus key on the numpad

[boneboys 7988]

Yep, ZEROING.

I believe the default keys to be page up/page down (I have rebound mine so not sure).

Page up/page down for zeroing 

Right mouse button for zoom (hold)

Ok, let's see. 

 

Without scope attached, single click Right Mouse Button = aim.

With scope attached, single click Right Mouse Button = aim through the telescopic sight.

 

What I wanted to know is (bullet drop and zeroing aside) whether there is a way, when aiming through the telescopic sight, to zoom in/out so to get a closer/farther view.  Is this done by holding Right Mouse Button?

Yes, either by holding right mouse button (but that is also default for hold breath) --> so I use the + and - on the numblock for zooming.

Then when zoomed in as far as I want I use the right mouse button to hold breath.

Does that work for you?

 

cheers

LR scopes have, like mostly any other scopes, a fixed zoom
for instance the Huntings scope of my Grandfather had a 12x magnification
while ACOC´s have views from 1.5x & 6x magnification..in dayZ ithink around 3,5 or 4x

so nope, you cannot zoom while in scope view..
what you can do is change your fov setting ingame

what the heck are you talking about?

of course you can adjust the zoom...

 

see my post above

[KiskilleAcronym 43]

Every time you press "Page Up" you zero in 100m.
To zoom in the weapon without holding the breath you need to press "Num +"
"Num -" to zoom out.

[Rhaptic 17]

To Zoom in and out just right click, And use Zeroing (PG UP, PG DOWN) To use zeroing

[klesh 2423]

To zoom in the weapon without holding the breath you need to press "Num +"

"Num -" to zoom out.

 

 

This is the answer.

I'm trying to do the zeroing with my WW2 SKS scope but it's not working.

 

just simple view of scope, no zooming at all. is this a bug? or i need to find better scope that can zoom?

You can't and will never be able to zoom in the WWII scope.

It's not a glitch...

[Mookie (original) 799]

Is there any way of doing a very rough range estimate using the LRS?

 

I get that it's just not comparable to the PSO, because it doesn't have the markings, but is there any rule of thumb about 1.7m representing such-and-such a fraction of the fat or thin vertical line such that range can be estimated?

[mercules 1290]

Don't use the Right Mouse button, use the +. The reason why is that RMB is Hold Breath and also has Zoom attached to it. You want to be able to zoom in without holding your breath so that when the time comes to settle your shot you can hold your breath for a significant time before you breath and start swaying again.

[ebrim 998]

On a slightly related topic, can one quickly switch from scope to ironsights? Or do you have to manually remove the scope first?

[King Raptor 191]

You should rebind the breathing and remove it from the RMB. Will make you a heck of a lot more accurate.

So there are two different key sets for zoom and zeroing? I always thought the zoom keys (NUM+/-) were for zeroing, because my mosin always hits the target regardless being 200 meters or over 600 meter far away. So I can assume that my weapon is bugged as this behaviour is not intended.

Are you manually compensating for bullet drop instead of zeroing? As in, simply aiming a little bit higher? You may be hitting the target the same but hitting lower than you originally planned. Or there's some other mechanic at work.

I always aim a little bit lower, but not to the left or right as some people need to do.
