I like it.

No more spotting goons from 20k, or "EZ-Viz"(TM) black dots a sector away.

Better for NOE, gvss, 1v1s at alt.

I like it.

Cheers,

Scherf

The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

  Skuzz we were just discussing JOC`s career this morning.
  I made the official announcement online.
  A spinoff of the TV show The Beastmaster is about to be released.
  It will star JOC and will be known as The Lanolin Master. :D

Is the fog/haze keeping the Battle group 5 inch gunners from knocking you down at extreme (only see a dot) range?

If it makes extreme long range visibility hard for you, then it also presents the same problem to them.

Now add some driving rain/snow or other inclement weather and things may get very interesting.

Imagine playing hide and go seek with a bomber formation or enemy fighter or attacking a ground target in a snow or rain storm.

It would add another dimension to the game.

  Yea it`s cool to think about, but just imagine the load it would put on the system.

I don't like it.

It makes flying around quite boring.

Whats the point of it? Does it hide jagged edges on the horizon now or increase fps like fog in first person shooters?

I like it, both for fps and immersion. Will be nice if it will be time dependant, in the  morning it is usually more haze, than in the daytime. So 10 miles for the morning, and  15 after 12 oc?

Well the Fog in the CT made fighting the P47's very challenging last night.

Added to overall immersion, and certainly didn't seem to bother my frame rate. (almost 2 yr old pc with cheap video card)

Yes it is changing things, and yes thats always a challenge.  Overall I think I like it.

The same way the girls at the bar all start looking prettier at closing time when the lights are low. AH looks better with the haze. Softens some of the rough edges.
