It is not clear for me, are the ships are "spotted further than 20 km, up to 30 km and more" by the boat visual sensor or by the player eyes.

So, you first need to make this clear, ask makman to explain, or just make new 3d models and test by yourself.

Well making sensors able to spot ships at 30km away is not a problem, I've done it.
Problem is being able to spot them yourself...

I'll have to run some tests.

Any news here ? Is it possible to make a 30 km horizon mod ??
