Description

SILENCE LASER DESIGNATION 2
===========================
A laser rangefinder built on the vanilla B8 binoculars. Look through, switch the laser on, and get live range, an 8 digit grid and the height difference to whatever you are pointing at. Built from scratch with no mod dependencies, so it works alongside any weapon or vehicle pack.

FEATURES
--------
  - Live azimuth and elevation while looking through
  - Laser on/off with live range to the first surface hit (up to 3000 m)
  - 8 digit grid of the lased point, ready to pass on for CAS or fire missions
  - Height difference to the target in metres
  - "NO RETURN" when nothing is in range
  - 4x / 8x / 12x / 16x zoom steps
  - On-screen control hints that switch between keyboard and controller automatically
  - Laser switches off automatically when the binoculars are lowered
  - Large, TV-readable HUD text
