Hiho.

thanks for making this sim better and better.

Do i miss something or is there no indication of how far the visibility with the naked eye is?

Thank you.

Visibility for the "Mk1 Eyeball" can be up to 50nm under optimal conditions (clear mid-day, no clouds etc.) for spotting large aircraft contrails or ship wakes. Practical ranges, especially for spotting the aircraft/ships themselves, are usually significantly shorter.

You can get a fair idea of how visible a given unit is to the naked eye by checking its visual signatures through the DB viewer. For example if an aircraft has a head-on "Visual - Detection" signature of 2 it means it can be spotted at 2nm head-on. Sensors with magnification can achieve greater ranges of course.
