On a clear night with calm sea, they can still see me about 1.5km away, but on one of those very dark nights, with rough sea, i can close up to about 800m-1km undetected. Works better than with stock GWX!

So 2.0 seems to be the "magic number"

Tested. A destroyer can spot me only at 900 meters in a clear night + wind speed = 5 m/s !

With the value changed to 2.0?

Default value after clean GWX install for visual light is 5.0. Also GWX's visual sensors use compartment's crew efficiency, but M.E.P. v6 don't.

GWX default parameters

;Visual.
Visual range factor=0.5 ;[>=0]
Visual fog factor=1.1 ;[>=0]
Visual light factor=5.0 ;[>=0]
Visual waves factor=0.8 ;[>=0]
Visual speed factor=0 ;[>=0]
Visual aspect=0.9 ;[>=0]
Visual enemy speed=0.2 ;[>=0]
Visual noise factor=0 ;[>=0]
Visual sensor height factor=0.4 ;[>=0]
Visual already tracking modifier=600 ;[detection probability modifier], most accurate, once a contact is detected it will lose it very hard
Visual decay time=200 ;[>0] already tracking bonus decay, in seconds
Visual uses crew efficiency=true ;[true or false]

Btw I don't see a point in modifying sensors.dat at all. I think I will use MEP only as graphics mod.

EDIT: actually there is need in modifying Sensors.dat for your watchman so he will be able to detect ships as far as you (and similarly not able to detect in poor conditions). But for my game I use another sensors.dat from awesome Rocket mod for GWX (version for 16km atmosphere) http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=151612

Thanks, Aktungbby! Love this forum, whenever you search for a specific mod you learn about other great mods which people uses and it's snowballing really fast.

I also use GWX 3.0 with M.E.P. v6 VisualSensors for GWX3 and edited the SIM-cfg to "Light factor=2.0" but enemy merchants normally spot me at around 2,5-3 km in a dark night, even when I m going decks awash. Did I do something wrong?
