AircraftFogReveal

I don't see anyone ever discussing about AircraftFogReveal
yet I tried with values of 25 and 60

but its either hardcoded or it doesn't work at all ?
or it depends on some other setting in rules.ini ?

modenc shows it is supported by TS/FS

Do you mean when you send the flying aircrafts to reveal the shroud? If that so, then set their sight to 0 for not revealing the shroud.

Im taking a guess as i have yet to look at the code, but are you trying to make this work with Shroud, when the key specifically says Fog?...

I think this happens when you send an aircraft to attack a target, and the target moves into the shroud. When your aircraft reach it and fire at it in the shroud, the area around the aircraft is revealed by the amount set in this key. I recall testing it for a spy satellite workaround and it won't reveal more than the max sight, 11. I'm not 100% sure about this stuff though so do test it out.

I simply gave the aircraft Sight=11 and MoveToShroud=yes.

Max Sight is 10. Not more. In older C&C's and iirc even the first TS version, a higher Sight caused an IE, thus i try to avoid higher Sight ranges.
AircraftFogReveal doesn't work iirc.

Nah just tested AircraftFogReveal=1 and 10 and there was no difference in this. Not sure what the range of the sight reveal when this happens is based on. No idea what AircraftFogReveal does then.

Did a side by side test with two units, one with Sight=10 and the other with Sight=11. The sight range was the same for both units, so 10 really is the max. I've been using Sight=11 for years without problems or crashes. Though using above 10 doesn't make any sense, already changed all the 11 to 10.
