Step 2: Press select and find your Arma 3 profile
Documents > Arma 3 - Other Profiles > *Profile Name*
Select the ARMA3PROFILE File. Make sure its the one without .vars. Should look something like this.

 

 

Step 3: Just fill in the blanks, this will vary depending on what settings you play on. You can find these in the Arma 3 Video settings when you're in game.

The horizontal section you will set depending on what you want, i'll go into more detail below.

If you done it right you will get a pop up similar to this

If you get a popup saying 'Check your settings' its most likely because you chose the .vars. profile.

 

 

Field of View (Horizontal #)
Arma 3's default Field of View is set at 70. The higher you go the greater your view gets, the lower you go, the smaller. Changing your FOV will not only impact your view, it will also change the size of your crosshairs, group hexagon size and scope size.

 

Field of View 60
Perfect for sniping, there is many players who use this to gain a advantage at range

Field of View 70
Default Field of View. Many of you are probably used to this one

Field of View 80
My personal favourite. Allows you the third person over larger objects while still retaining a decent scope size to snipe with

Field of View 90
Perfect view for CQB in my opinion. Allows you to look around corners much earlier. Only problem with this view is trying to snipe from range, it becomes quite hard.

If you want to manually edit your Field of View without downloading the Utility here is a calculator you can use to find your values depending on your resolution

Its more of a noob friendly guide. Some people are not comfortable going into game files and manually changing things around. Thanks for the link though, i've added it below for those interested in manually changing their Field of Views.
