Thanks Paajtor!
Then just imagine what you could see with a good binoculars and also when 4 or 5 ppl are scanning the sky together!
I will probably adjust the small aircrafts (hurricanes) to 5km and the big ones to 7km. What do you think?
This distance also could mimic the sound detection what isn't moddable on the game...:hmm:
Like I said I can make it detectable more than 8km away if needed. We just need good RL references like you give us.

I live right next to an airport (Maastricht-Aachen-Airport...the strip is approx. 1km away from my house lol), and on a clear mid-day, I can see small aircrafts for up to 4km away.
But under certain conditions (depends on wind-direction and air-humidity), I can hear them earlier!
I think the engine-sound would be heard even earlier out at sea, if weather and seas are calm...certainly a high-power Merlin-engine, with hardly any exhaust-damping.
A trained watch-crew would hear the low rumble from miles away, I think.
Is there a way, to put the watch on high-alert, when they "hear" an engine, and start scanning in a rough direction that they think they hear the sound coming from? |
