121 Deployable Spotting Scope

Description
Summary
Originally created for Task Force 121 to supplement the USASOC Sniper Rifles. This mod introduces an ACE deployable and adjustable spotting scope to Arma. The scope is based on the Leupold Mark 4 12-40x spotting scope with a Horus TREMOR4 reticle. Note that you will need BOTH spotting scope (in binocular slot) AND tripod (in misc items) to deploy spotting scope as a tripod!


Usage
From Arsenal
- Add [121] Vortex Summit Carbon II Tripod to inventory (Misc items)
- Add [121] Leupold Mk4 Spotting Scope to binocular slot or inventory (Binoculars)
- ACE Self Interact > Equipment > Deploy Spotting Scope
- ACE Interact tripod to pick it back up again
- Q and E keys to lower/extend tripod

From Zeus/Eden Editor
- Item can be found under NATO - Turrets - [121] Leupold Mk4 Spotting Scope


Known Issues
- Models are fairly high poly - efforts were made to optimize through aggresive LODs but expect some degree of performance drop
- The scopes are NVG capable for now as clip-on NVG devices are still WIP

Possibility to add rifle tripod like ace CCWT? Because that one sucks and not even mounted properly when deployed

Is there a toggle I have to enable to have the night vision allowed? Currently when I press N for night vision mode screen flickers but does not go to night vision. In ACE arsenal it only lists this device as having vision mode

Did I miss something or is the rangefinder measuring an obscure point you can't identify exactly in the middle of the scope instead of the scopes markings?

@Eddy let me brainstorm about that for a bit. At the time I set the extension based on what I thought would be the physical length of each extension that would fit when stowed, but I thought it was a little low too. I'll probably look into extending the length as a QoL change even if it isn't realistic...

Really Nice work. Is there any plan to make the bipod more extendable ? For working in buildings the tripod is to low most of the time.

Would there be any way to put in the TMR Reticle? https://youtu.be/Pqk5bY1_L1U?t=689 (Example) I love the opening in the center similar to Vortex's EBR-7C Reticle. Thank you for these amazing mods, cheers.

Having an issue where when putting in inventory. Ace Self interact wont show any option for the tripod?

@richh773 that is the plan is to add an ACE interaction for clip-on NVG, but I am doing that for the Sniper Rifle pack first and I don't think I'll have enough time to implement it for the spotting scope for I leave for travels

It is not Illuminated but does allow a clip on NV device on the extending rail in the front.
