December 14, 20241 yr It’s a beautiful cold, sunny winter day here in Canada, the visibility is absolutely clear and unlimited. No sign of any haze in the atmosphere. A beautiful day to fly with MSFS, but unfortunately, the conditions are never CAVU in MSFS. There is always a haze (sometimes very thick), no matter what location, season, time or weather condition you select. I wonder if the reason for that has to do with the sim performance. With no haze, the graphics engine and CPU would have to work much harder to show all the distant details which are hidden by the haze. Or are there other reasons for the haze, even with Ultra settings on everything?🤔 I9-13900K, RTX 4090, Reverb G2, Simrig Motion platform
December 14, 20241 yr I was wondering about this myself a few times and I think its a matter of performance. I would love to see "unlimited" visibility ranges particular during cruise at high altitudes (above the haze) so you would see cloud fronts far on the horizon like in real life (if the actual weather / humidity was like that)....

December 14, 20241 yr The Clear Skies option that I am using in MSFS 2020 has a stated visibility of 138km. Is that the diameter of the circle around me, or is it 138km in all directions? Whatever the case, I seem to be able to see a very long way!

Yes, I can see a long way as well, but it still looks very hazy and not the way I remember how it was when I was flying in a real Cessna. Flying in winter was a real joy because of the amazing visibility, not so in MSFS. And I am talking about flying at about 5,000ft, not in airliners at cruising altitude.

Is that the diameter of the circle around me, or is it 138km in all directions? Wouldn't that be *radius*? If I use the "Clear Sky" preset, I don't see any haze - but any depiction of live weather from any external source where the visibility is good/clear, I always get haze too.
