I noticed that in the documentation of NYGM, at some point in manual 2.2a it is said :
; "> Corrected/Adjusted 16 km Visibility Mod
Ships will now appear “hull down” when over the horizon. Numerous corrections to the 16 km visibility
mod to improve the horizon banding and the extremely dark horizon band at sunrise/sunset.


However the ships dont appear hull down, they kind of float above the horizon, i noticed that the earth radius value in the main mod is 640000 which i guess is fine since it's double the value of the vanilla SH3 ( a 16 km vs a 8 km environment ).
Now, the NYGM3_New mod modifies the scene.dat and Earth Radius value is now 9999999 - a kind of flat disc for us .
Now, if i change it back to 640000, ships will appear hull down which is something i like ; if anybody knows : are there other implications also for changing that value or only affects how we perceive objects on the horizon?
