Crosshair Settings: Dot, Outline, Length and Gap

What the dot and outline each solve

A center dot gives a precise landing reference, especially for micro-adjustments and distant targets. An outline provides a boundary on bright walls, floors or target edges so the main color does not disappear.

A default outline does not need to be thick. An over-heavy outline makes the crosshair feel crowded inward and can hide the actual center.

Balance length, gap and thickness

Very short lines communicate little direction; long lines hide the target. Gap controls how open the center feels: too small crowds the dot and arms, too large creates extra visual confirmation.

Start with medium length, a clear gap and a thin line. Change one control at a time, then use Micro Adjustment to see whether distant small targets are easier to confirm.

Do not choose color from a static preview

White often disappears in bright environments. Cyan, green or another high-contrast color tends to survive more backgrounds. AimTrainer has light and dark changes in the range, so play at least two rounds after choosing a color and check visibility around targets.

A practical adjustment order

• Enable a center dot and outside outline first.
• Fix the color, then adjust length and gap.
• Use thickness only to finish visibility.
• After each change, play two Micro Adjustment and two Three-Target rounds; do not judge from the settings preview alone.

Before importing a setup

Crosshair settings apply to the center reticle in the training range. Rendering, resolution and FOV differ between games, so use this as a reference configuration rather than a promise of an identical in-game image.
