Volumetric Fog vs None?

Featured Replies

I'm trying to figure out what P3D v3 is doing differently if anything than v2 for volumetric fog

 

Here I use OPUS FSI - the METAR is 2SM BR SCT001 OVC004

 

At 3000 (I must be near the tops) I get some blue sky with volumetric on:

And with it disabled:

Why does one have blue sky?

I think with Opus, they recommend having the option for Vol Fog enabled, to get the proper presentation. The photo on the top is correct.

Volumetric fog is a function of the weather engine, not the texture.

If there are issues then its probably best to take it up with the weather engine creater.

 

As I recall, any change in Volumetric Fog settings in a single sim session Opus requires the weather engine or the sim to be re-started. It's covered if you Read Their Fine Manual. At least the last version I used.

 

 

That might be the cause of any issues ?

This is what i get with Vol fog set... its never been better.
