Too weak signals for being of any use, indeed. We can simulated it by adding another shallower layer with very short range, long sweep period and low ProbInsideArc. What do you think?

What I think? I think that we need NASA computers if we want to simulate the real conditions in this game..

BTW, what is ProbInsideArc?

You did

PS: I will think about all this things after wakeup..

Do you think two more controllers will make that much difference?

The probability (in percent, from 0 to 1) of detecting a contact inside the SweepArc.

Computer rover Curiosity: 200 MHz, 256 KB of EEPROM, 256 MB DRAM, and 2 GB of flash memory. In Houston, of course, is much more powerful computer around, but the surprise is that the rover's computer when such characteristics copes with its task and not "slow" and 400 mips.
It is clear that the whole point of the highest quality hardware and software manufacturing. And in code optimization, of course.

Guys, can't wait to try your hard work on my list!

Something like this?

1st SendorData:
PreciseRange=25,000
Max Range=100,000
MinSesorHeight=-500
MaxSesorHeight=-78
ProbInsideArc=1

2nd SendorData:
PreciseRange=25,000
Max Range=100,000
MinSesorHeight=-500
MaxSesorHeight=-48
ProbInsideArc=0,60

3rd SendorData:
PreciseRange=17,000
Max Range=25,000
MinSesorHeight=-500
MaxSesorHeight=-28
ProbInsideArc=0,95

4th SendorData:
PreciseRange=0
Max Range=17,000
MinSesorHeight=-500
MaxSesorHeight=-8
ProbInsideArc=0,95

5th SendorData:
PreciseRange=0
Max Range=8,000
MinSesorHeight=-500
MaxSesorHeight=-2
ProbInsideArc=0,50

I talked about global improvement of this game.. the game already requires resources far greater than many of the new and higher quality games.. I think any developer will not release now to the market a product that requires 8GB and even more of RAM.. this game requires.. I think this is wrong way.. modmakers should to think about how their mods will work together with other mods..
IMO

This is not our work.. this is great work by Xrundel and TheBeast.. we are just making a small rework..

That's what I always wanted to say, but I'm shy.

• MinSesorHeight: adjusted for SensorData's 2 to 4, so to have layers of 48 m in depth. The first 24 meters of each layer are overlapping with the last 24 on the following one.
  
  
• PreciseRange: set to 0 for all the layers.
  
  
• MaxRange: see graph:
  
  
  
  Question: should we model reduced or null hydrophone ranges under the thermocline
  
  
• SweepPeriod: seconds for a full sweep (stock setting: 30 sec). Adjusted for all the layers, so to simulate faster detection speed at higher depths. See graph:
  
  
  
  
• ProbInsideArc: stock setting: 0.95 (95%). Adjusted for all the layers, so to simulate better detection at higher depths. See graph:
