Using that, open the \Data\Library\AI_sensors.dat file. Where it says something like LinkName=Type128P in the SNS file, scroll down the list until you come to that one, then open the subdirectories until you get to the "sensor" that has the data you can edit. Example;


Even if you've never used a game editor before this one is pretty easy to learn, but don't forget to make backup copies of any files you're going to try editing just in case. Saves a lot of reinstalls if all you have to do is copy and paste the original file from a backup to overwrite the one you wrecked.

ok, cool. i am very conversant with Silent3ditor.
what i needed was the file where the values are hidden.
so, AI_Visual_Sensors.Dat is the place and Escort Visual is the node, yes?

so if i am reading this correctly, the visual parms for a DD are from 0 to 180 degrees which is a semi-circle. at least it was when i was in the USN. so why are we seeing a full circle? rhetorical question. so confusing!
