Question about GWX 16KM Atmosphere mod

Spin Doctor · 03-03-07, 12:32 PM

What does it do? I read the explanation in the manual, but I still can't tell what it actually accomplishes.

Thanks!

It doubles the effective visual (and not only) range of your boat. The same applies for the enemy as well

Just remember it uses a lot of system resources so make sure you have a decent gfx card afore you activate it.

So it's not that I can see that far, but maybe the AI Watch Officer can? Is that it?

OK let's take a numerical example to make it clear.

Let's assume that you can see a ship (via visual, radar or hydrophone) at 3Km using the 8Km Atm Mod. If you use the 16Km Atm Mod in the same conditions you will be able to see the same ship at 6Km.

Is it more clear now?

As fog(jk) yup its a good idea but can eat resources as can a lot of mods for SH3 but well there worth it

Yes, you can. I've looked back and watched the buildings at Kiel finally disappear at at least 14km. and the lighthouse lights at 18km.
