Description

Anyone who played Arma in is life can say that the controls / key-bindings are quite messed up.

My goal here is to propose a solution by doing a complete remodeling of Arma 3 controls.

This problem is a major obstacle for new players and is probably the number one reason for negative reviews. Because it makes the game hard to play. Arma 3 is supposed to be hard but not in this manner.

I already did the thinking part, all there is left to do is the patching.

I integrated my mapping suggestion based on the industry standard key bindings.
This mapping should replace the actual Industry Standard Preset and should be proposed to new gamer that start the game for the first time.

You can look at my suggestion in the Excel spread sheet attached to this thread.
