Spiceman Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The ME only allows reduced visibility in the form of fog, i.e. it can only be 3800’ thick and a few (I think 5) miles visibility. In the real world there is haze. The haze layer exists below the cloud deck, whether it be 3000’ or 10,000’. Real world visibilities on a normal day are 5, 7, 10... maybe up to 20 miles or so typically. The ME could allow this easily by simply increasing the range of the fog sliders.

Weta43 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) While I appreciate the general idea of your comment. this: Real world visibilities on a normal day are 5, 7, 10... maybe up to 20 miles or so typically Really depends on the day and where you live. This is looking south from the harbour I'm looking out at now, and those mountains are about 100km (60 miles) from the viewpoint. That's at sea level. At altitude, the visible distance is greater. When I was a kid, we walked up Mount Climie (up the valley from here @ 860m) on a particularly clear day, and at the top we could see Mt Taranaki in the distance (@ 2,518m), which was about 230 km (138 miles) away... Edited August 20, 2018 by Weta43 add altitudes Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiceman Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yep... no doubt there are days like that. The problem is that, right now, there’s no in-between. You can have unlimited visibility or 5 mile visibility.

Weta43 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yep, a 'Haze' slider would be good... Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
