I'm trying to combine this with not just archery but the sniper bow pack. I am going to try your archery settings adjust and repost if I get something working. Really excited for the combination. 1st person is very immersive but having the vanilla bow setting is a little jarring. I did get the standing bow lined up perfectly but when in sneak the rectile changes and was way off.
After 3 hours of testing I don't think it will work. Don't get me wrong the mod itself is amazing, Also the Sniper Bows look great and seem to have good function. For the past three hours all I've done is stand and shoot at a target, tweak, shoot, tweak, shoot, tweak, shoot. I had the rectile on to help alinge the sights but I was trying to get a setting where I could rermove all HUD for true immersion. I have to say after just a short while I dont want to go back to vanilla 1st person. This mod is really that good at adding a live feel to the character.
Why it won't work as is (possibly for all bows, but only tested with the sniper version). There is a slight difference in perspective angle. In vanilla your two arms come out of the center of your chest making everything straight on and the view down the sight is the same whether in sneak or standing. In IFP one arm is on the left and one on the right (as it should be) also in sneak the camera moves forward just a bit enlarging the scope.
This slight difference in perspective and zoom changes things outside of the controls in MCM so no matter how well the bow is lined up standing it will be off in sneak or vice versa. I searched for a happy medium in settings to get a balance, there might be one there as there are multiple settings that will give a true shot in one or the other but with so many numbers to configure it could take years to find what setting is happy for both.
The solution I won't settle for is using the vanilla first person for bow aim. Even with the other tweaks in this thread you can get it to switch between cameras almost seamlessly. After the switch going into a super smooth vanilla aim is completely immersion breaking for me personally. In my opinion if its going to be so smooth and vanilla during combat and otherwise it mine as well stay that bland the rest of the time, otherwise every time I draw a bow I'm going to be thinking of how much better it could be if I could get the settings right.
A suggestion for an update to work around this problem (granted I don't really know what's possible and what isn't). Would be to add one more line in the MCM for "Bow Aim while Sneaking" or "Sneak Combat" or something to that effect. It was extremely easy to line up the bow standing or sneaking. If I could have seperate preferences for both then I wouldn't understand why there was a single post complaining about bows and this mod.
I'm going to keep plugging away at it though. As soon as I find a setting that works I'll be back to share and endorse.
THANK YOU and all the mod authors for all the hardwork and innovation.
