Sorry Another Haze question

Featured Replies

I posted this in part earlier, but want to use it again as a preface to a question after a flight I just took:"I just tried a flight at KMSL where they are reporting 5 miles in Haze all around there. With FS 9 Haze depicted one climbs out and rises above the layer, and the ground is not visible in the murk which is realistic. However at high altitudes there is ring of low visibility persisting around the plane but in the distance the ground is clear. Very unrealistic. Everyone has said this.With FS 9 haze off, and visibility graduation on, [ie using ASV haze]one still gets an abrupt change around 4,000 feet from murk to good but not perfect visibility, but the ground is clearly visible which it should not be with 5 SM in Haze. At higher altitudes, no matter what the visibility is on the ground, be it 5 or 50 miles, there is a diffuse haze everywhere except directly below the plane. The diffuse haze makes more distant clouds and even close clounds quite obscured, which appears unrealistic.I am guessing that FS 9 is incapable of portraying at all altitudes an accurate visual representation of the Eastern summer haze layer as we see it flying which is an indefinite opaque flat layer beneath the inversion with clear visibility above."However, is there a way [ with ASV 5 Haze on] to tweak visibility graduation to allow good visibility in the distance above the inversion layer so that the clouds near and not too far are clear and vivid as they are in real life and with FS 9 haze on?The blunting of the cloud appearance with ASV Haze makes a drop in the visual experience.ThanksGreg
