I wanted to comment about this on the MEPV6 thread, but its now closed.

I noticed that after enabling the excellent MEP v6 mod and its complement MEPv6 sensors for GWX3 on my GWX3 install, i can no longer do surface attacks at night (early war of course, no enemy radar), because both the freighters and escorts see me when im about 3km out. Before i could comfortably attack on the surface at night at 1.5 - 2.0km from the side without fear of being detected, but no more.

Anyone else experiencing this?

A quick inspection to the sim.cfg file provided with the MEP v6 sensor pack for gwx3, shows that the light factor was decreased from GWX value of 2.0 to 0.85, wich explains why they now see me so well at night.

Not complaining about MEP v6 at all (its simply the best enviroment mod ibe ever seen for sh3), im just curious if this mechanic of denying night surface attacks was intentional, or the result of an error in the sim.cfg file?
