Default Different zoom UZO & Binoculars

Hi,

i'm using LSH with ARB WideGui. For more realism i edited the cameras.dat to get better zoom levels.

So i changed the zoom level for the binoculars to 7x and the same value for the UZO.

But in game i have different zooms.

Any ideas to fix it?

First, check to see if your modded cameras.dat file wasn't overwrote by another.

Strange. If you're using SH3 Commander it has optional functions that can affect that file.

After some testing and editing of the cameras.dat i have to set a zoom level of about 3x for the UZO to get the same zoom as binoculars (7x).

So i think there is maybe a "base zoom" defined in an other file which belongs to the UZO and is then multiplied with the zoom level in the cameras.dat

Any guesses which file it could be?
