Default Planes visual radius

Hi,
Could someone remind me where you can adjust the ennemy planes visual distances ?
I want to decrease them.
Hoping it’s not in the SIM file… cause I don’t want to modify the ship’s visuals…

If you mean when a plane can see you, that would be the ai_sensors.dat I believe.

What install ? I've always found it to easy to avoid their attacks; the rwrs and crew give notice long before the plane is a threat and allow plenty of time to dive.
In fact, I edited the rwrs so that planes weren't so boring, at least in terms of providing a surprise attack; they're still not much of a threat since they can't hit the broadside of a barn with their bombs or depth charges.

You could create a new visual sensor only dedicated to aircraft (in data/Library/AI_sensors). Then, of course, change the LinkName (with your new aircraft visual sensor) for the NodeName=O01 of all aircraft.sns files.
