Moding Aircraft Visual Abilities i.e. Additions to the AI_Sensor.dat

Essentially I have the ability to add sensors to the AI_Sensor.dat.

Besides addressing the Escort Visual Sensor we have also added these new Visual Sensors to as best as possible configure the Visual sensor to suit its unit. For example...

- The Merchant Visual Sensor has in comparison the Escorts Visual Sensor a reduced range and capability. The reduced capability is most evident at night.

- The Fishing Vessel Visual Sensor is the same as the Merchant Visual Sensor with reduced range to be in line with the vessels height.

- The Elco Visual Sensor is the same as the Escort Visual Sensor with reduced range to be in line with the vessels height.

Now for the aircraft...
There will be a single seat version & and all other aircraft version.

The single seat version will have a restricted bearing to say 120 degrees which would be used for the Hurricane & Walrus.

I would not be too keen to do much in the way of restricting the downward view as the planes will then probably never see anything.

That then leaves the maximum distance. What do you think should be the maximum range that the Aircraft AI should be able to see and why?
