SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - [REL] - No contiuous "Ship spotted"

After some more tests I found out, that setting SweepArc=0 and ProbInsideArc = 0 for Node-Visual in Sensors.dat significantly reduces the "Ship Spotted"-Messages, because now the watch crew does not lose the visual contact to the ships (and gets the contact again for the same ship) as often as without these settings.

Thank you, dcb, for the hint!!

The above-mentioned settings in Sensors.dat are used by Stock-SH3 and all SuperMods (NYGM, WAC, LSH) except GWX, so I think, that it is no risk to use them.

Regarding my primal idea from post no. 1:

I also found out that the WatchOfficer only reports Merchants using the words "Ship spotted, Bearing xxx, Range yyy". Escorts are reported only using "Ship spotted". If anybody of you knows how to achive, that Escorts are also reported with "Ship spotted, Bearing xxx, Range yyy", then my primal idea could work, too, and even better than the tweak in Sensors.dat.
