Rangefinder with thermalvision

[Eiskrem-Kaiser 54]

Date/Time:

anytime

What happened:

If you open your rangefinder, whilst being in thermal-zoom with the L85, the rangefinder will from then on have thermal vision, too. Even if you switch your main weapon. The effect will be gone, when you disconnect.

I can confirm two accounts of this happening. First, a mate noticed this. 10 minutes later, I accidentally, too, switched to the rangefinder, before unzooming the L85 and I noticed the same thing. It is reproducable.

Didn't make a screenshot, unfortunately.

Where you were:

Current installed version:

1.7.2.3.

*Timeline of events before/after error:

This doesn't seem to work at night, however.

i was able to make the L85 have all 4 modes of vision (regular, digital, night, and thermal) today, but i could not reproduce it once i reconnected. also, one of our guys figured out how to get the night vision fal to zoom without NV on.

Yup I can confirm this one. I cannot always reproduce it, but it's particularly useful... and horribly wrong!

Unfortunately i managed to reproduce this bug in Vanilla ARMA2, with the M107 TWS and a rangefinder

So many bugs coming from Arma 2 which is surprising when its been out for so many years.

Probably not many bothered with it in an online match in Arma 2 but in DayZ every small bug can become a HUGE balance issue.
