In my opinion, the combination of visual sensors (U-boat/enemy) is already good in NYGM, so I have no interest in developing a new mod myself. The sensors for NYGM were created by Observer a long time ago. Observer was/is a real-life American ex-submariner.

hello Stiebler,
i have sent you a single mission to see the 'problem' by yourself .date of mission is 10/1939 so visual sensors are on priority.run the mission many times to get an idea of the detection range that own crew is spotting the target(just start your engines and wait).there is the need to run many times the mission becuase the detection range is random(!!??)(this is ,also , a big question: why this detection is random as all the settings are always the same in this specific mission?). also, the target is setted that way so showing its less hull in a last effort to minimize the detection range but... the 'vampire nights' issue also exists in NYGM (tested on a 'clean' install of NYGM with no other mods enabled) . this is not a fault of Observer, who have made a brilliant work on sensors (as far my knowledge on sensors adjustments allows me to say), but it seems that the whole light factor for OWN crew visuals is broken (it works though for AI visuals).
as i have spent countless hours trying to 'heal' this issue via the .cfg files ...all my attempts-tweaks-combinations didn't 'work'! i am convinced that this issue can't be solved via .cfgs but i will be very 'huppy' if it is prooved ,at the end,that i am wrong and there is ,indeed, a combination at .cfgs files that is solving the problem and avoid the hardcode way !

But for this big project, I need time and energy. If it's me to do the job, patience is needed. But I don't want to hinder others to start to play with the sensors.

hello H.Sie,
i have replied to this via pm and i am really thankfull to you and looking forward to start a project like this !

We have all the time mate!

The truth is that we (i can for sure speak for a lot of ppl here on the followed matter) like very much and we are very thankfull on what you and Stiebler have done, you both knows that.

And we also know (because a lot of us are also modders...well at this time probably any sh3 player already made at least one tiny mod!) that any mod work is a very time consuming task and that the main and primary ingredient is ourself motivation.

Every time that i write something here I spent a lot of time reading my post to try to not be so much that type "please do this, please to that" because I know how hard is this work (and believe me, with my english limitations is yet more hard to express myself). So, like I said, excuse us if sometimes seems (just seems!) that this entire community are now over you both!

couldn't say it better !
100% agree to all these


ps: @Stiebler : i want to ask sorry for hijacking this thread with a theme for visual sensors . this is the last post i do here ,so if there is interest we can open a new thread and continue there .
