Visible Laser - Show the point where I a“i”m!
This Mod adds a simple visible laser on your laser sight.Supports vanilla and Mod laser pointer that configured properly.
How to use
Turn on the laser
You can turn on the visible laser by pressing the same key with the vanilla IR Laser.The NVG on your head must be off beforehand, otherwise it turns the IR Laser on.
Works only if you have an IR Laser Pointer (vanilla/modded).
L by default.
Switch the laser color
You can switch the color by pressing predefined key.Available colors are: Red, Green, Blue.
Works only if you turned the visible laser on already.
You have to assign this key from Options > Controls > Visible Laser > Switch Visible Laser Color. I assign it to Left Ctrl+L.

Note
This Mod is not performance-friendly, especially there're more than about 10 lasers in the mission. ...for now?
The laser does nothing to do with AIs. So you won't be exposed by using a visible laser.
