Arma 3
Adjusting dope
Does anyone have a clue on how to adjust the dope on the scopes? it used to be page up or down but since the last download it does not work. Any help would be great.

Some scopes don't allow it.

The dope? I think you MIGHT mean the zeroing. It's page up and page down for most scopes, but some like the RCO scope don't have it.
if you actually mean dope, then stop smoking it and the effects go away a bit.

Actually, DOPE (Data Of Previous Engagement) is basically a record of where previous shots landed that a shooter will create to better understand where his rounds will go from a specific firing point.

Zeroing is aligning your sights with your weapons point of impact. Its basically making sure your weapons sights are in line with your aim, since everyone holds a firearm slightly differently to the next guy and sights can displace over time etc.

But yeah, adjusting for elevation is usually done with page up and down, but the smaller x4 scopes tend not to be adjustable and rely on a mil-dot system.

If you are using the Ace3 mod, you can adjust both windage and elevation. It offers both 10 meter (minor) and 100 meter (major) adjustments. You can hear the clicks as you adjust. So it makes it simple to count and adjust while looking through the scope. Which makes long range shooting easier with how windy it is on Altis most times.

Yeah if you didn't change anything Page up and Page down along with control page up and down are already set by default by arma3 and ace. So no need to change any keys, unless your like me and a lefty. Need to use right side of keyboard more than left. I found its perfect as I use the up down left right arrows to move, delete for frags, page up down for scope and the numbers pad for most things I dont leave default. With all the scripts ppl write along with the different mods, I try not to change any keys I don't have bound since I starting playing Arma years ago.
