Planes visual radius

Fifi · 01-09-22, 01:32 PM

Hi,
Could someone remind me where you can adjust the ennemy planes visual distances ?
I want to decrease them.
Hoping it’s not in the SIM file… cause I don’t want to modify the ship’s visuals…

If you mean when a plane can see you, that would be the ai_sensors.dat I believe.

Yes because they have Superman eyes

What install ? I've always found it to easy to avoid their attacks; the rwrs and crew give notice long before the plane is a threat and allow plenty of time to dive.
In fact, I edited the rwrs so that planes weren't so boring, at least in terms of providing a surprise attack; they're still not much of a threat since they can't hit the broadside of a barn with their bombs or depth charges.

What are you calling rwrs ?

Radar Warning Receivers.

Radar warning receiver set, I'd imagine...

You could create a new visual sensor only dedicated to aircraft (in data/Library/AI_sensors). Then, of course, change the LinkName (with your new aircraft visual sensor) for the NodeName=O01 of all aircraft.sns files.

Good idea Mister_M. NYGM has such a node Fifi if desired for reference.

Thank you guys

You gave me the solution.

Fifi · 01-10-22, 02:16 AM

Last question if I may… what is AI_sensors_WP for?

ivanov.ruslan · 01-10-22, 04:30 AM

Hi Fifi, we haven't heard from each other in a long time

, i guess this has to do with the night vision fix

That is for the AI subs in H.sie's Wolf Pack patch.

When you're happy with your settings, please post a screenshot of the settings of your new AI_aircraft_visual sensor. It can be useful for a bunch of guys, including me.

Absolutely correct!
Using a Stock AI_Sensor.dat
I find the maximum range = 8000
and MinSurface = 0.0
kind of crazy for AirCraft!

That's saying a Plane will spot you at 5 miles distance even if just your scope is up and NOT moving!

MinSurface is The minimum surface of the detected object [m2].

I'd say lower the Maximum range and increase the MinSurface for an Aircraft only AI_Sensor.dat

I wonder how many people have perished WISHING planes could see you like that!
