Great, Jungman. You are close to solve that
I will be very busy this week, and maybe next too. The main objective of this mod was to increase the visual sight (graphically speaking) and I think that I have done it. But I don't know how sensors work in this game, you have done much more research on that part.
I think that I will release what I have as a beta mod, and you can tweak it as much as you wish, fixing HFDF's, detection distances, and all that stuff.
The other option is wait until I learn how it works, so I can finish it completely, but it can take a lot of time...
I have to say that I don't find any serious bugs with the current status of the mod, only that ships can be spotted at night from a long distance and some minor fps drops, but some of you have reported some bugs that I can't find. Even the radar detection works well. Maybe I miss something.
What do you think?
