Disable Toggle to Aim Down Sights
I'm not particularly fond of having to toggle for aim down sights.

Has anyone found a way to change the settings so that it's hold to aim down sights instead?
I have tried alot of different combinations in the XInput ini, but with no success :(, maybe somebody can solve it :).
I tried to bind the the following line
Bindings=(Name="xxxxxxxx", command="XToggleZoom | StartXToggleZoom | OnRelease StopXToggleZoom ")
But it didt work, i have tested alot of other too but I think it should be something like this :), im not so experienced thou so any help would be appreciated :)

Yeah, that's been driving me crazy, though I'm starting to get used to it. If anyone finds a way to change that, I too would appreciate it muchly :)

That and an option to turn of the crosshair would be lovely. Has bugged me out beyond believe.

I don't even bother with ADS, unless it's the sniper rifle.

I hate the toggle as well

Almost everything in "XInput.ini" is useless and doesn't do anything.

The game use a Base64 value for keybinds in "XUserOptions.ini" called "UserKeyMappings="

well that fuggen sucks, so it's not possible for us to change this, even though they've written down all the commands? This is stupid. Thanks for clarifying though.

when you are on the sky hook....the left trigger works to engage the aiming and isnt a toggle.
I´d be very pleased if the Devs could patch this in. I find "toggle to aim" very frustrating... Of course one can play with it and to me it`s the only flaw (together wit "toggle to sprint") in an amazing game... Yet I hope they patch in the option.

Best regards

Well this is not a perfect solution, but is a solution :)

Hold to aim down sights
Information To change from toggle aim down sights to hold aim down sights, simply make an AutoHotKey script:

Fix AutoHotKey script for hold to aim

1. Download and install AutoHotkey. link - http://www.autohotkey.com/

2. Let application create sample script. This script file should open after installation.

3. Delete everything and insert these lines:
#IfWinActive, BioShock Infinite

{
::$MButton::Send {MButton}
::$MButton Up::Send {MButton}
}

4. Open AutoHotkey window (green H icon in tray area), navigate to File and hit Reload Script.

Notes:
This is script for default bindings where aiming is bind to middle mouse button. For aiming by right mouse button replace MButton for RButton.
For bindings to other keys see Hotkeys and KeyList sections of AutoHotkey documentation for button syntaxes.
If you get stuck aiming down the sights, and holding the aim key stops aiming, simply sprint and the issue will be fixed.

I dont have the time to try it now but would you kindly post your result below if it works or not :)

I've found success by binding toggle sights to scroll wheel, and keeping plasm- sorry, vigors, on right click (a la classic Bioshock). I scroll up to zoom into my sights, scroll down to zoom out (although, a scroll in either direction counts. That just feels intuitive). Give it a try!

well have bind vigors to "thumbmousebutton2" and the aim down sights to "right mouse", works like a charm :D

go to your XGame.ini, find
[XCore.XClikHUDCrosshair]

and replace everything under it with:

ShowAnimationFrameName=Hide
HideAnimationFrameName=Hide
EnterCombatAnimationFrameName=Hide
LeaveCombatAnimationFrameName=Hide
HitTargetAnimationFrameName=Hide
NotTargetingStateFrameName=Hide
TargetingStateFrameName=Hide
FriendlyTargetStateFrameName=Hide
InvalidCrosshairFrameName=Hide
InCombatStateFrameName=Hide
OutOfCombatStateFrameName=Hide
MaxSpreadInScreenDistance=500;
SpreadFrames=200


crosshairs gone!

I tried the AutoHotkey Solution - unfortunately it does not work for me...
Perhaps because I Have Roccat driver running?!
