[REQ] My AI Crew can see to far
 

How can I mod this. My Crew sees ships in 15'000 meters and I can't. I would like to see a visual contact too. I would like to lower the visual distance for my crew.

maybe here:

C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg\crewAI.cfg

[CrewAI]
; Weapons.
Cannon range 1=1000 ;[m] close range limit
Cannon range 2=3000 ;[m] medium range limit
Cannon range 3=5000 ;[m] long range limit
AA guns range 1=500 ;[m] close range limit
AA guns range 2=1000 ;[m] medium range limit
AA guns range 3=1500 ;[m] long range limit

;selection
Cannon Selection Range=8000 ;[m] max range to contact
AAGuns Selection Range=2000 ;[m] max range to contact
Recomended Torpedo Range=2000 ;[m] max range to contact
Recomended Deck Guns Range=2000 ;[m] max range to contact

Hi. Check the Sensors.cfg file located in the cfg folder. At the top of the file, look for:

[SensorParameters]

;Visual.
Visual range factor= 0.5 <--- change this value


Hope this helps. :DL

hello guys same problem here to me too! not even in ten meters fron of the submarine the flak gunner just stare at me! :o and the deck gun too

I recommend to change this value while docked. I did change some of them mid patrol and it ****ed so much things I had to restart from my last save in bunker.
Just my 2 cents
