February 21, 200422 yr Hello all,Being a private pilot in training, I find it amazing how well FS9 has replicated haze, visibility and the overall environment. However, when one sets visibility in FS9 to 10 miles (or less), the sky ceases to be blue and turns an overcast looking gray. This really bugs me, as when visibility is 10 miles (or sometimes in the summer around here 5 miles) the sky is still blue. A more gray tone only appears closer to the horizon and obscures distant objects. As a matter of fact, I was flying yesterday (in the real world of course) and visibility was maybe 7 miles. Yet, it was still a bright blue sunny day.I attached a screenshot of visibility at 10 miles over KSEA. Also, its like this in all of the sky "color themes" that change from day to day. Also, the weather in this shot is few clouds (2/8 coverage).http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/64050.jpgMy question is this: is it possible to alter this affect. Could it be altered via one of the sky_xxx.bmp in the texture folder? If so, which one? Thanks in advance.Joe Wagner
February 21, 200422 yr This 'bug' has been a very disappointing aspect of FS9. It especially spoils the potential realism of the VFR UK scenery, by having to use 20m visibility (very rare) to get a blue sky.
