Missing crosshair/ironsights

Recommended Posts

Tried searching around for this, but couldn't quite find anyone sharing the same problem OR it isn't a problem at all and is working as intended.. though I have a hard time believing that.

So as the topic says, I'm completely missing the crosshair, and that would be fine IF there was ironsights.. but there's not. I had crosshair at one point, but after using a hatchet it simply vanished to never appear again. Is there something I'm missing to make my character aim? Is it my settings being crappy? Or were the crosshair never supposed to be there to begin with and you actually have to get mods for your mod (hey dawg! heard you like mods..) to get them?

It just makes it insanely hard to actually hit something without them, and I hope for a solution soon

Some servers have crosshair disabled. Check for the server name before joining, it usually goes like "CH=off"

EDIT: Crossbows and hatchets don't have ironsights.

So for the servers that have crosshair disabled, how to I aim with ironsights? As far as I can see, either all my mouse buttons are already used for something else, or not for anything at all. Is there a key on the keyboard to aim?

right click with a pistol brings your pistol up to the center of the screen. you might run into problems at first since right click also zooms. practice makes perfect.

Thank ya for the response, I do appreciate it. But what about the Lee Enfield (or the dinner bell as it has "affectionally" been named)? It quite clearly has the iron sights on it, but nothing happens when I rightclick, or any other rifle/weapon with ironsights.

You have to right click once. Holding it only zooms your mouse in.

If I can make a suggestion: play the tutorial for the game. No offense, but you obviously don't know much about ArmA II - I'm guessing you bought the game specifically for DayZ - and it would behoove you to learn your way around guns a bit more. Besides, the crosshairs are fairly inaccurate; going ironsights is the only way to shoot, bud.

there's a bit of an iron sight on it... but it's a lot harder, if you look at you tube and other sites you can see some info about iron sight usage.
