Description
=======================
Activate or de-activate the range finder by pressing either NUM_* or the period button (dot).
You should hear a sound play.
From then on when aiming down sights or through a scope at an enemy a message will report
their distance. Note that the scope hud will block the message so you will have to de-scope to
read it.
NOTE: The range finder only works against hostile targets due to the way GetCombatTarget works. They don't have to be in combat with you, just hostile, like a bandit is.
The distance is shown in meters, using the formula:
(distance * 1.5) / 100(Apparently units are equal to 1.5cm)
Update: 12/04/2009
I have since been working on the cause of bullet rise and found the auto aim to be the culprit. I have created an auto aim fixer which unlike the others out there, actually works.

Unfortunately this Range Finder mod requires the aimbot to be functioning normally and as such the two mods are incompatible. Sorry!
Since I made this mod specifically for testing bullet rise it has been rendered obsolete.
