hiding & sneaking up IS part of the fight.

you're SUCH a furballer.  :p :)

we need another arena for mars.  2 corners - the planes come out & duke it out in the middle of the ring.  ding! ding!  winner takes home a gold belt.

p.s.: i like fog, but prefer clouds.  i hope we'll see other weather too, like snow and icy runways.  :D   freezing rain.  or, at least just rain.

I Like the fog, mostly as it seems to help my frame rate.  

To add a constructive comment, it would be nice to break out of the fog at some given flight level (with the fog still present and obscuring the ground of course).

Doesn't bother me at all and it helps with my frame rate. Up 15 or so on average.

I think that most of the folks who are not fond of the fog as it is now would like it better with a different implementation.   In my case, if you want perpetual "Haze" like we have now, how about pushing it out to the jagged edge of the visual range to soften the edge of the normal visual range .  That way you get the benefits of immersion without the limits of that cheesy "haze of war"  thats so common in video games.   Variable true fog, clouds, weather fronts are all great too if possible in a realistic manner.

Im for all kinds of weather clouds, fog, snow, rain, wind everything. While its not the most beautiful fog/clouds Ive seen its a step in the right direction.

Also remember on the intro screen, when you right clicked on that certain window and the voice came thru "I'm so hor......" ?
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

I think it looks great.
Much more realistic than the unending blue sky.
