how do i 'aim'

Recommended Posts

Loving this game but I’m also remembering why I hated Arma 2, they incredibly confusing and clunky controls. I'm getting my head around it but I cant find anywhere that tells me how to aim, as in the green rectigal shows up. I had it for my first few games, but now it seems to have vanished.

I seem to be constantly shooting from the hip which is a waste of ammo

It doesn’t help that I’ve remaped my keys, but does anyone know the name for this binding in the options menu.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You are playing on a server with crosshairs disabled.

I hit the V key to look through the weapon sights.

V is to climb over

Hold Right mouse is zoom

Single or Double Click Right Mouse is Iron Sights

We really need a sticky......

All new players to ARMA thanks to Day Z need to play Boot Camp AT MINIMUM! Press SINGLE PLAYER instead of MP, Training, Boot Camp. Will save you questions looking like a n00b.

Also the ARMA 2 Manual is a good read as well;

enjoy.

thnka yes i figured it out thanks to here (server had it turned off). As far as boot camp goes, Arma 2 is a horrid horrid game for the controls, i made it too about he 3rd chapter a few yeasrs back, a corupted bug ment i couldnt go no further. I thought i'd try it again recently before this mod came out and with a new rig and remeberd why i stoped, boot camp / the boat start is horrid.

the worst UI i think i;ve ever seen, but what you need for Day z isnt soo bad.

In short dont make people play boot camp to play this game, just have a controll sticky ;)
