Question about visibility

[Hitman]

IIRC you can't lock on something your crew does not see. If you did not get the "ship spotted" report, your crew most likely doesn't see them. Radar contact will not suffice, it must be visual for locking.

Out of my memory, so take it with a grain of salt

Hello TorpX,

Although this comes from the documentation for h.sie's hardcode fixes for SH3, it might point you in the right direction for experimenting with SH4.

In h.sie's instructions for adjusting night vision problems, he suggests modifying these values in the "data/cfg/Sensors.cfg" file: 'Visual range factor', 'Visual fog factor' and 'Visual light factor'.

Hope it helps; best of luck in finding the 'key' to solve your problem.

Yes, I believe this is the case.
