The Sensors.dat from Ortega's Visibility Mod, that files contains the visual spotting distance.

You will want to change them from the default 17.0 km and 17.5 km for precise and maximum range to 15.5 km and 16 km.

'Loosing Lock' is always a problem at long distance. But this will help by making the precise range close to maximum range.

Also, the Periscope view is set for only 5 km, many people (and I did also) change this to 7.5 km for the maximum torpedo run. Then the lock will maintain. As for the UZO lock view, I think there is a value in Sensors.dat that changes its own maximum range to stay locked.

Precise range is only the range on the map that the ship will be marked solid. You must also change the ranges for UZO and Periscope view too in order to 'lock on' target at further distance from the stock game values.

I will post this message in that thread so you can download a Sensors.dat version that will include all this stuff.

OK. Now I will make a new file version to download that has these changes so you can lock onto a target beyond stock game values far away in the UZO and Periscope View.

Link coming soon with readme and detail changes made. Sensors_16km_Lock.dat
