    Forced crosshair?

    Is there a way to make forced crosshair, so no matter if crosshairs have been disabled in the difficulty settings, it would always be on? It's nearly impossible to shoot guided missiles like Stinger with the crosshairs disabled, since you can't tell if you're locked on a target or not, so I wanted to force the crosshairs on for all guided missile weapons, just like they've been forced on for some aircraft too. I could swear there was a config definition for this, but I can't seem to find it.

    I've played on several servers running in vetmode with crosshairs disabled firing AA launchers, Javelins and Dragons. There is just a few basic tips.

    1. With target in center of optic one mouse click (RMB) locks and second mouse click unlocks and third will lock again. If you are lucky on the first mouse click you will get a target report and you know for sure you are locked.

    2. With guided weapons after firing just keep the taget centered in the weapon optic and the missle should find it's way to the target.

    3. If you are shooting at a target comming straight at you or away from you when target is centered in optic press the "ALT" key before you fire and and keep it down and it will keep the weapon from moving during the missle travel to the target. Use this against staitionary targets also.

    Yes, I'm aware of that, but it isn't 100% reliable. Sometimes the target wouldn't just lock... or maybe it was just bad luck. I don't think it's a guessing game like that in real life with guided missile weapons, so I'd much prefer to have the crosshairs on for them, if possible.
