Dunno if this counts as a necro or not
Anywho, I hope someone can help me. I've tried Google, with only partial success. I'm using MEPv3 with the MaGUI-F. As you know, these mods refer to the amount of fog as the quality of "visibility" - "excellent," "moderate," "poor," and "zero". What I want to know is, what is the extent of the visible range at each of these levels? My google efforts found a post here at subsim by hitman, who gave a very good explanation of the basics of this subject. Following his suggestion, I opened up scene.dat with S3D and nosed around. Each visibility state expresses the visible range as a % of the maximum range, eg. Excellent=100%, Moderate=50%, and so on. Trouble is, I can't figure out which specific variable within scene.dat represents this %.
If someone can point me to the right spot, that would be great. Ta
