8 km horizon for NYGM

[Stiebler]

@Stoker:

is there a official 8km mod for NYGM that makes the appropriate changes in regards to visual sensors so that you are not at a disadvantage.

I regret that there is not an 8 km horizon mod for NYGM.

There are no plans to make one, because the official release of SH5 is becoming close. When SH5 is released, it is very likely that all modders for SH3 will be asked by Ubisoft to stop supporting SH3. This is what happened to the 'Pacific Aces' team of SH2 when SH4 was released. Since Ubisoft owns the copyrights of the original games, they have every right to make this request.

If you wish to make your own changes, then Reece has listed the important files, above. Copy these files from the stock SH3 game (8 km horizon), and compare settings with the corresponding NYGM files. This will give you an idea as to how to proceed.

Please be aware that sensor settings for NYGM were originally set by the talented Observer, who was driven off this forum by the flame wars of long ago. I was only one of the testers. If you reset the sensors, you are going to need to carry out a LOT of testing. I think this is far too much effort for far too little return - but I'm a pessimist.

@Reece:
Thanks very much for your help, and no, you're not 'treading out of bounds'!
