>You mentioned Fs2k2(AKA-fs8), these worked in FS8? I ment that the hazy light blue sky on picture No1 (FS9) looks just like the light blue hazy sky you find in FS2002. ;-)Staffan Ahlberg

BTW, what's up with that contrail in the second photo? Looks like a SAM launch :)

>Hmmm,....I guess that depends on where you live.

Hmmm I don't think so. Rayleigh scattering is caused by (air-) molecules, whereas Pollution is mainly smoke (dust particles) which reflects light at the most. For example, when there's a lunar eclipse, light that is scattered in earths atmosphere makes the moon look red, and the more polluted the atmosphere is, the less bright the moon becomes (I read that somewhere ;))But I might be mistaking ... -Daniel

You are right! the 2nd blue is only what you get at an elevation of 9000 feet or above, or on a very, very cold and clear winter day looking straight up, or after a rain which cleared up the air, or during a "Foehn" storm, which we get here in the middle of alps from time to time. But it is definiteley not as common as the lighter blue on the first pic. So I really do not understabnd, why there is a fix wanted for something which looks very, very realistic!Wolfgang

I live in Australia -- the HOME of blue skies. And I can tell you that no blue sky looks like that in real life -- a photo taken with a UV filter may look like that -- but no real life sky looks like that!Barry
