[Der Teddy Bar]

We have made some great progress with the AI visual that we think will go a long way to making a lot of people happy.

The figures below are currently for the escorts. We have created a merchant only visual sensor that we have yet to modify. However, there is little to modify in the sensor (DAT) itself so we do not wish to make too many promises about how different the escort and merchant visual performance will be.

Currently we have only tested day and night in 5, 10 & 15 mps winds. We have 2 aspects, that of bow on and that of bow off.

Bow on covers about approx 60 degrees, or 30 port and starboard of 0, and bow off is from there to 30 degrees off 180.

We also have set it up so that at speeds of 5 knots and below you will be able to close in much further... see at bottom

For BOW ON and clear day with
0 mps you will get detected at around 4500
10 mps you will get detected at around 3300

For BOW ON and a clear night with
0 mps you will get detected at around 1200
10 mps you will NOT get detected


For BOW OFF and clear day with
0 mps you will get detected at around 7400
10 mps you will get detected at around 6000

For BOW OFF and a clear night with
0 mps and bow off you will get detected at around 2800
10 mps and bow off you will get detected at around 2000


If you are approaching an escort at around 5 knots you may be able to for BOW ON and a clear night with 0 mps get as close as 700 metres!

Of course show him any bow off, or side aspect and you are dead meat!

Anyway, there is a long way to go and we will keep you up to date as it all unfolds.

BTW, the fog factor is broken, nothing we can do there.
