Thread: Separating Lock and Zoom from Keybind?

    Separating Lock and Zoom from Keybind?

    Hey guys,

    is there a way to separate the "Lock or Zoom" which is usually bound to "hold right mouse button"?

    I want the zoom to be kept on "hold right mouse button", but the Lock (on target) I need to have on another key.

    Yes. Move "look or zoom" to another key, say T or assign to RMB "zoom in".

    But that's not what I want...

    Lock is the important key I need to bind. I only want Lock (on target) bound to another mouse key. Apparently there's no key for that.

    So what is the problem? You move "lock or zoom" to the other mouse key, and assign "zoom in" to whatever key you want.

    The problem is when I fly planes, and have say T bound to lock or zoom, and right mbt to zoom in, and then I lock in on the lasered target by pressing T, it still zooms completely in AND locks on the target. It's annoying and it caused me to crash me planes a couple times. I don't want the zoom, I just want the lock in on target.

    well a) for air units you can almost always use radar (TAB) locking
    b) to direct click lock (RMB def.) you only need to press once for a briefest of a second
    c) it zooms only if the weapon cannot lock

    sure overall I agree a lock only key would be useful, but isnt available so far

    Yes, in my experience the "Lock or Zoom" binding only zooms when not in a vehicle (and not using a lockable weapon). In vehicles it only locks.
    I use Zoom bound to RMB, and Lock or Zoom bound to mouse 4.
