[REL] SkyBaron's Leigh light for SH5

[Stoli151]

I had to dig up this thread again to ask about spotting aircraft at night. My crew called out an aircraft at night in enemy waters that I did not see and I was not attacked. My question is do I need to adjust something so my crew won't call out superhuman visual aircraft contacts at night. The point is if my crew can spot aircraft in the the pitch black of night at long range what is the point of the allies having Leigh lights when they'll never get a chance to use them. My crew with NVG's would have prompted me to dive by then.

data\Cfg\Sensors.cfg => Visual light factor

valid range should be 0-1, and stock setting is 1 (i.e. maximum factor)

In other words, 0 = full effect; 1 = no effect?

That is a bit odd if you look at the settings of different sensor factors. Factors which, going by common sense, should not affect a sensor are usually set to 0 (i.e. Visual noise factor, Radar light factor, Hydrophone fog factor, etc.) whereas the ones which should have the biggest effect are set to 1 (i.e. Visual light factor, Radar range factor, Sonar aspect, etc.).

Nonetheless we shouldn't forget that the word "odd" referred to SH5, is often a synonymous of "likely"

You don't remember when i was trying to decrease my crew accuracy in fog?
Stock IRAI settings were 0.75, and my crew was able to see (hence to lock) a target while i couldn't see a damn thing...
I increased the value to 1, and now my crew see boats only when i can see them
I tried at first (logicaly) to decrease this value, but results were inverse

Going by what you are saying, my fist interpretation of sensor factors was correct. You should see them as a sensor efficency reduction percent:

0 = no efficency reduction (the factor doesn't affect negatively sensor's performance)
1 = 100% efficency reduction (the given factor has the biggest possible effect on sensor's performance)

[Fifi]

In other words: yes!

...but don't catch why IRAI default settings are set so the crew have bio-ionics eyes...for better game accuracy, should be set to 1 (you can even pass this value, but you'll see target before crew).

Thanks for the info gents. I'll try setting my factors to 1 and see what happens.

Download link at Post #1 for version 1.1 is broken. Other mediafire links from other subsimmers still work. Can anyone provide a download link?

It is not stated in the update log for OH. I used to use v1.0. Vdr1981 has used v1.1 in his latest large modlists that do not CTD.
