Modernized Controls Collection

Arma 3 is an amazing game.

However, it has some very unique--and let's be honest, dated--control schemes.

With the Modernized Controls Collection I intended to bring some of Arma's more stubborn controls up towards a more modern standard.

Current controls:
# Use two keys to switch linearly through the various view modes of a particular optic, rather than cyclically. This is useful for optics with several modes, but only a few that you intend to use often. (If you are also using a canting mod like GGEs, this feature can activate canting as well.)
# With ACE installed, tap a single key to bring up the handheld device (MicroDAGR, DAGR, Kestrel, ATRAG) in small size, hold the key to bring it up only temporarily, or double-tap it to bring it up large and interactable, with a final tap closing it.
# With ACE installed, tap a single key to reload the currently equipped weapon, or hold the key to check the ammo. Upon release of the key, the "checking ammo" animation will end and control will immediately be given back to the player.

More controls will be added as deficiencies in Arma's controls are identified, and as I figure out ways of circumventing them.


Oh, also, this mod includes a fix for that bug which locks you walking/running in a direction for 1-2 seconds if you lower or raise your weapon while moving. So, if you don't think Arma needs even more complicated controls, you should at least check out this mod for that.
