How do I get soft fog transitions?

[fscottee 10]

I'm getting hard transition lines where fog meets land.  And it doesn't matter whether I have clouds on simple or detailed.  The right half is what I get, the left half is what I want.  Volumetric fog gives the same result.

 

 

 

This can't be normal???

Please a little guidance. The look drives me crazy, and I've tried all sorts of settings to get rid of it. Is it normal?

Hi mate

 you using a weather program??

Maybe a little more detail on your setup as there are a lot of variables to consider

No weather programs, just trying to use P3D weather.  Tried all the different options and texture sizes, volumetric fog, detailed and simple clouds, cloud distance, etc...

 

This image show it better.  The left is what I am getting.

Which version of P3D are you running?  2.3 had a bug where clouds could be twice the size they're supposed to be, which could cause this kind of effect when they intersect with the ground.  This bug was fixed in 2.4 though.

I don't have an answer for you but I do have the very same problem!

Just a thought but are you using REX 4 maybe you have to enable P3D HD textures in REX4 menu - I have not tried it yet but throwing it out there

I'm happy someone else has this problem!  Heh, sorry kinda bitter sweet but I thought maybe I was the only one.

 

Richard, no I am not using any add-ons and have never had any add-ons.  Pure vanilla Prepar3d v2.4.

That's interesting as I'm using ASN and REX4 and I though that that was were the problem lay, obviously not!

Vanilla than I am not sure - maybe a nvidia driver setting such as image quality set to high - not sure what video card you have - tell me your weather scenario so I can check it out on my system - I want to see what its like on my end

Phil noticed this on a flight tonight - so I have this hard line issue I was at 20,000 ft but saw it - tried some settings when I saw it but no change - it was built in weather so not sure if a payware weather generator would clear that up

[fscottee 10]

Perhaps I will try a weather add-on thanks!

Same problem with ASN.

[fscottee 10]

So if folks are having the same issue with weather addons...

P3D issue I guess
