Field Of View (FOV)-lock resets when using weapon sight
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The FOV lock (double-tab numpad minus/plus) gets reset to default FOV whenever you enter weapon sight (ironsight, optics). Also while in weapons sight FOV-lock is disabled. When returning to normal sight FOV-lock works fine.
It is inconsistent with the ARMA2 implementation which was very useful.

This is especially annoying when you try CQB in first person, because I am missing a third hand continuously pressing numpad minus while navigating through the buildings.

Steps To Reproduce

In the editor, place a player unit and preview mission.
As infantary, equip a pistol or main weapon. Double-tab minus to engage FOV-lock.
Engage weapon sight (right mouse button/numpad 0). View gets reset. Try to engage FOV-lock by double-tabbing numpad minus. FOV won't lock.
