He can still see as far as before, that has not changed. That is, the maximum distance he can see is 16k.

The en_menu.txt is located in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Menu

Line 4616 is currently 4616=Nearest visual contact at bearing %03.0f
Change line 4616 to 4616=Nearest visual contact at bearing %03.0f, range %.0f meters!

The visual update did not increase how far your crew can see. It reduced the amount of surface area required to detect something. By doing so, they now detect the ships at a greater distance more often.
