I called ATI Tech Supp (no haze issue)

And they are looking at the problem. If you have the crystal clear horizon prob with FS2004, give them a call. It would appear that the more calls they get the more heat goes on the driver development...they are getting lots of Radeon/FS2004 related calls.One interesting observation...when I go from one of my "saved on the runway" scenarios and change the weather to "fogged in", the screen comes up, for a half a second, with honest to goodness haze/fog...than it snaps back to that silly white wall/white autogen object situation.It's in there...just got to figure out how to make it work...I'm fiddling with every option I can find, some of which wind me up in XP safe mode or unable to run FS2004 at all...If you hear a big boom from here in the front range, it's just me, taking the experiment a step too far...DaveKCOS
