DESCRIPTION
This is a simple mod that extends the range of satellites to 75km and 150km respectively. I found the default distances of the satellites to be rather small for my liking and felt they should be increased a little bit to not only add some range, but also to decrease excessive satellite clutter that can occur in mid to late game.
I've made sure not to make the range increase too "cheaty" as that would not only lag the game in some cases, but make satellite placement require no thought and/or strategy.
COMPATIBILITY
As far as I know, this mod shouldn't cause problems with anything else. It should also be compatible with any version of X4.
HOW TO INSTALL
Copy and paste "EnhancedSatellites" to the following directory: (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\extensions). Once at the main menu, check to make sure the mod is enabled.
HOW TO UNINSTALL
Simply delete "EnhancedSatellites" from the extensions folder.
KNOWN ISSUES
From testing I have done in-game, it seems that AI traffic on the sector map doesn't always appear within the radius of a single satellite's radar at ranges above 75km. I'm not entirely sure as to why yet. You're able to see traffic extend to 150km around roughly 60% of the satellite's radar circle. The other 40% of the circle has traffic disappear around 70-90km. If anyone has an idea as to what may be going on, feel free to let me know.
