View source for Line of sight (UFO2000)

All units in UFO2000 have ''line of sight''. A unit's line of sight encompasses any objects or other units which are:

*Within visible range (17 tiles at the maximum light level of 16 and 2 at the minimum light level of 6)
*Not blocked by terrain or smoke
*Within the unit's ''field of view'' (FOV, also ''field of vision'')

==FOV in horizontal plane==
Just like in [[Line of sight|X-COM]], all units have a 90 degree field of vision, radiating outward in a cone in whichever direction they are facing.

==FOV in vertical plane==
Units in UFO2000 can not see downwards as well, as upwards. They can see up to 85 degrees up but only 45 degrees down in vertical plane.

There is a tweak request in the bugtracker for making the FOV in the area below to be identical to the FOV in the area above, see http://ufo2000.net/mantisbt/view.php?id=628.
