Default 8 km horizon for NYGM

Hi there, does any know if there is a 8 km horizon mod availible for NYGM. My video card is c**p (Nvidia FX 5200) and I can't justify getting a new card. Stock SH3 gives me around 20-23 FPS in exterior views which I can live with but with NYGM enabled its about 8 FPS. If no mod is availible can I simply edit some of the NYGM files such as scene.dat with S3D to give me back a 8km horizon or is it not that simple. Thankyou

Hello Stoker !

I have on my MediaFire Page a MOD with an 8km Atmosphere, here:

Test the MOD, maybe that's the one for you ?!

Best regards,
Magic

There's just one big problem.

All the visual detection ranges for NYGM are set for 16km horizon.

If you use an 8km horizon mod, you will be detected continually by other ships - even merchant ships - and aircraft before you see them.

Life will certainly become 'interesting' on your U-boat.

Thanks for that Reece and Magic1111, have downloaded and will try both.

@Stiebler- what are my options? is there a official 8km mod for NYGM that makes the appropriate changes in regards to visual sensors so that you are not at a disadvantage. Regards
