Disable Haze Layer not working...for me too

Featured Replies

Hi Jim,Thanks for your help on my previous visibilty problem. Seems that FSUIPC didn't recognise the "weather off" button being clicked the first time around.I happened across Sean's thread about the haze. I've been experiencing the same thing since the upgrade to ASA. I have mine set like his (proper boxes checked/unchecked) but I'm always flying in haze...whether it be at FL310 or lower down. The only time it goes away is close to the ground and when on the ground itself. I was just getting ready to do a search on the forum and happened upon that thread.To recap, I'm running ASA patched (not the beta patch) on an WinXP machine. FS9 (patched) is the sim. I have the payware version of FSUIPC (the latest version - can't remember the number off the top of my head at work). Unlike Sean, I'm running ASA on the same machine as the FS9 install, not over a network.If you think the textures you sent to Sean would help in my situation, feel free to send them to me (along with instructions on where to put them LOL). If you still don't have my email address let me know and I'll post it in this thread.Cheers,Scott

Hi,No, this isn't the same thing. What we were dealing with here was the low level haze that hugs the mountains and such.What is your maximum visibility slider set at in ASA?Thanks,

Hi,Sorry about mis-reading the original post.I have my max upper vis set at 39 (I think - I'm at work right now). I believe I have my max surface set to 29. I'm using those figures so that I don't get that ugly hard horizon line in flight. I'm also using the textures provided in the Soft Horizons file that I got from Avsim or Flightsim. I've used them for a long time, including with the previous version of ActiveSky I was using before upgrading to ASA.Cheers,Scott

Hi Scott,Using all that, that you listed then the visibility is going to be fairly limited. You could boost the sliders up a bit and see if you like that better.Thanks,

Thanks Jim,I've tried that, but didn't like that hard horizon line. Seems to me the haze vs visibility was rendered much better in ActiveSky compared to ASA. Of course I realize that such things are very subjective, but it is very hazy. too much IMHO. What does the "Disable FS9 Haze" (or whatever it is called, once again I'm at work) option box do. I've tried it both checked and unchecked. Dosen't make any difference as far as I can tell.Cheers,Scott
