Too-sharp-eyed lookouts - what has gone wrong?

LOL - something seems to have gone terribly wrong with my install. I was out doing some final tests on my SH4Speech setup, and got a sonar report (while surfaced) of a warship closing at long range. Shortly after I got to the bridge to check it out, I got a "warship sighted" report (complete with the pause game order choice popup window). When I asked my WO to report the nearest visual contact, this is the response I got:

Sooo, somehow I now have my watch crew spotting ships out to 8 miles, in the dead of night yet

I'm running RFB 1.31, heavily modded up (list posted below), but nothing that I recognize as intentionally expanding the sighting distances so radically. The only likely culprit that jumps out at me seems to be the LBO (only because it mentions the 9km visibility thing), but I don't remember seeing anybody posting about super night vision with that so I don't know why that would be the problem. Has anybody got any ideas as to what might be causing this rather large increase in sighting distance and/or what I might need to tweak to get it back into more normal parameters?
