Default More Magnification?

I am going to check this out! "Realism" in moderation is a good thing. Making the player squint through scratched lenses and at ridiculous magnifications is IMHO immoderate

As I asked in the main TWOS thread:

Is there an easy way to get better magnification on the optics?

Quote:
I love playing these things with high realism settings, and that "Real Navigation" thing is brilliant.

Except for one thing: I find the imposition of "realistic" magnification levels to be ridiculous. So, ideal for me would be: I play the game on maximum hard-core do your own trig realism, BUT with optics that are jacked up with max magnifications that are 2x or 3x more than what they presently offer.

When I have to get to ~1000 m on a bright sunny clear day to see that flag on that freighter is Finnish something is just not right . . .
Does this mod include any facility to adjust magnifications higher? If I open up the documents is it something I might be able to tweak on my own? I'm a C++ programmer so dealing with a bit of tech is doable.

Maybe I should find a "getting started modding SH5" how-to and make it myself?
