Not really a MOD - 07/09/15 11:03 AM
Just a file edit to alter the AI's maximum vision to identify planes - enemy or friendly.
1. Backup your simulation.xml file in the WOFF directory.
2. Right click on simulation.xml and open it with notepad.
3. Find and Edit the following line to whatever number you like (I'm using 1750 - default value is 750): perfectRange_met="1750"
4. Close and save.
Encounters are actually more interesting now:
1. Support flight now engages enemy most of the time.
2. Planes have more time to react, so not all enemies join the fight. They now have more time to run away which I've seen happen from both my flight and enemy flight.
3. Mission outcomes are still realistic along with my previous MOD installed.
Happy flying!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the value is in meters. I'm also trying out 3000.
