I cant speak by Mac.... but if i not understand bad, he is working to reach a real visibility values for both player and crew.
It means he need to found how to enlarge the "world bubble" into where the game start up to modelate the objects to be watched.
Manuel "Mac Mollo" Ortega.......Master !!
Talking for me..... a reduced crew spoting range of 16km looks unreal for me.
As i wrote before, swiming in the west coast of Cozumel, i can see with no glases no UZO, construction in the other side of the Cuzumel channel, it has 19.5km wide.
Flying you can spot a ship at 20 miles, and you can see if it is a Carnival or Royal Caribean...... of course a sub is not flying but if you
do not take in account atmospheric humidity or dust in suspension...... if you use an horizon calculator, you will found, from a conning tower of 4m you can spot the 65m mast tops of a Warships from near to 40km.
Of course fog can reduce those values.
In my opinion, only a personal preference, y prefer to have a real spoting range in my crew, even if my own is unreally reduced to 17.5km.
Just a personal choice.
About the options here, Ortega's (Mac) Mod, has a "World Modelation Bubble" increased from default 8km up to 17.5km.
At 17.5km you can see smoke stacks, and at about 16.5km you can see the ships.
I do not know why for, all you have the WO limited to 16km, because Ortega's default is 20km. :hmm:
May be due your mods installed, but my point is :
To reduce the "World Modelation Bubble", from 17.5Km down to 16Km is hard and complex.....
Then ...why not to increase the WO and Crew Spoting range from your 16Km up to 17.5Km ? :hmm:
A crew spoting range>>> "ship spoted sir" of 17.5Km instead of 16Km
is not to much diference and is not unreal
And is an easy way to solve the problem stablished here
17.5Km is anyway under real values in a clear day for a big ship. :hmm:
As wrote before, i am using the Ortega's default 17.5Km "world bubble" and my crew has a 25km or 30km spotting range, i can adjust it at my pleasure.
If you dont like 25km, or 30km, you can put both together at same value........ Ortega's default 17.5km, called 18km in "folk spelling" :P
