Horizon Line/Haze Layer
« on: November 10, 2016, 09:41:49 AM »
Someone else had reported that when they stick their nose down the horizon drops also? I don't think that's an accurate description of what is happening, but it happened to me in the B24. I did not record this, but I do have AHF film which I will review to see if it shows up.

The first thing I noticed on this sortie was a shaded box that was perhaps 75x75 miles covering the terrain which was visible once I got to 20k. It eventually faded away, or I got higher and it was no longer discernable.

I was bombing and had no problems until I turned south. I expected I would have to recalibrate, but the bombsite looked completely odd even after I calibrated. I wrote it off as a sun reflection problem, because it went away once the field appeared. However, when I descended for landing the haze layer (I believe it was) followed the nose of my airplane. Once I was below 15k (I think it was) the problem went away.

See attached screenshot.

(EDIT): Does not show up in film viewer.

I have had a similar problem with the horizon near Cv groups.  The horizon appears to be liquid moving up and down with pitch changes and yet the CV group appears above the horizon floating in space.
