Plane always visible

Featured Replies

Can anyone tell me why in FS2004 a plane can't be partially engulfed in fog, or disappear into a cloud from tower view or spot view? I have broused a lot of the screenshots from FS2004 and have yet to find a pic where the aircraft is partially visible through the fog or through a cloud. You always see all of the aircraft all of the time. Even in the replays in FS 2004, the entire aircraft is always visible. I remember in FS 2002 watching replays of landings I made in a low cloud cover with the fog very thick and watching my plane slowly become visible as it came down through the cloud and fog. It was really impressive. If anyone can duplicate this in FS 2004, I'd love to see the pic, but for some reason I don't think it's possible. Hope this is fixed in FSX. It's just not very real in FS2004 as it was in FS2002. Again, if anyone can do this in FS 2004, please show a pic. Maybe it's just my video card or something else?

Hi,You are correct about this. It is due to the graphics engine of FS04.Not sure about how FSX deals with this.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/
