Haven't tryed it, but try turning the ingame gamma down. Might negate it a bit.

I also think it is too opaque; as it is now (12/20), it looks like smog.  Don't think anyone wants it removed completely, but it should be toned down about 50%.  

BTW, having it this thick makes radar more important, and therefore may induce people to stay in their radar more, which is probably undesirable.

I like it, leave it as it is.

This sounds like more of a gameplay issue than a bug.  Are there any computer performance issues or program anomolies since the implementation of haze?

the color seems a bit off though... it seems too grey or drury, yet there are clear skies and the sun is bright. But there is no contrast on the ground to bring our the brightness of the sun.

maybe if the haze was more white than grey?

a few of us noticed in the Koth-TOC when BigMax adjusted the fog from 10/15 miles to no fog our framerate dropped by nearly 20 fps.........both sitting in tower and sitting on runway..........

I read where people said the fog had no affect on fps, but in my view it has helped me alot........btw we got to fly a KOTH round at night time ( midnight) been along time this was a blast! bring back night, only if at  an accelerated rate ( like only 5 or 10 minutes of night ):)

found a "color" example of haze that might look more "appropriate/realistic" than the drury grey....
