Hello,
My apologies for probably a very simple question, but I could not find an answer in the documentation of FSUIPC. I have ActiveSky installed for FS2004. I have the visibility limited to max. 20 miles for a realistic effect (at least, a 'limited', hazy visibility is how it is a lot of the times in The Netherlands). However, after passing a certain altitude unknown to me (I guess 25000 feet or so), then suddenly the colours of the landscape get very harsh, and the visibility is unlimited - all the haze is gone no matter what low visibility I set in AS.
In the manual of FSUIPC (3.48) I have read that it is possible to set an altitude for visibility, if I understood it right. However, someone else wrote to me that there is a FS9 bug which makes a limited visibility only partly possible, at some point during climb the haze disappears and the harsh 'pure' landscape colours re-appear, no program like AS or FSUIPC would overcome this. My question is: does FSUIPC enable me to overcome this, i.e. have limited visibility at all times, places and altitudes, even at FL350 in FS2004? And if yes, is this then the registered version?
I hope someone can help, as I keep thinking it is such a bummer when after take-off, during climb, one gets thrown back to "FS-reality" because of sudden unrealistic views and colours, without any haze...
Thank you very much in advance,
Lennard
