Since I am still new to this game, please help me understand something about the snorkle fix files.

In the new 16 km Atmosphere V2 mod it says:
data\Library\Sensors.dat
- *NEW* Snorkel wakes & reflections added (also sensors.val). -Sergbuto
- Max visual distance alterred. -Rulle34,Manuel Ortega
- RWR ranges(player u-boat only) enhanced. -Jungman

In the new RUb v1.45 mod it says:
Added Snorkel visibility fix. Mod by Jungman (data\Library\AI_Sensors.dat)

My question is, is this the same snorkel visibility fix ??? And if it is, will the two files conflict or will one override the other ???

No, they're seperate files.

Atmosphere mod changes the sensors.dat

RUb1.45 says it changes AI_sensors.dat




For future reference, if anyone wants to know:

sensors.dat only affects the radar, sonar, and visual range of the players' own u-boat

AI_sensors.dat only affects the AI's radar, sonar, and visual range

This must be Jungman's snorchelfix, that makes snorchel more realistic to detect by enemy AI.
Important is to know that in Jungmans read me it says that for this to work as it should, you should raise both periscopes and have one pointed forward and the other pointed in the opposite direction. Then it'll react on spotted airplanes.

This is quoted line from that readme in Jungman's Sensors_PAK mod:
"A trick to use while snorkelling is to put your Observation scope up barely above water while cruising (even your Attack scope too facing forward, the other backwards) to detect visually airplanes within 5km (limit of periscope set in Sensors.dat to detect by crew). And remember you do not have radar detector warnings while underwater."
