Well,if it works for you and you are happy with it then i'm gonna give it a shot.I MAY (not sure) edit the sensors.dat files as the author states this will allow the watch to spot ships at up to 20km away.Having said that,i'm not even sure if this is even possible in real life as 20km is a bloody long way away!
ATI cards DO tend to render shadows slightly darker in some games,and this can be beneficial where stealth/shadows are important,such as in another favourite game of mine 'thief - deadly shadows'
I'm gonna install this before next patrol!
Thanks for your replies SB,and for mentioning this mod in the first place.
