OLCE2 fixes it, but I guess you already know that and want another way to fix it? Well, yes, there's a way and it's quite easy to do, and just now I actually started to type out how to do it... but then I remembered your rudeness to other people in other threads, and changed my mind.

Thanks for this great übermod OLC! Just downloaded & installed it and the environment looks sooo nifty now, and the GUI is a huge improvement too IMO I'm of course still clueless as to how it all works, but hey, practice makes perfect - or, in my case, at least mediocre :p

Thanks again m8, superb work all around. S!

Thank you Tomfon!!

Was doubting because someone in this subject was talking about doubling the
mastheights and my first thought was, that is wrong....

No fuss.
It might be even better if you bother downloading the tutorials from OLCs FF page and also the read me files. He explains everything really.

Nevermind.
Download S3D and edit scene.dat. In Sky>EnvSim>FogDistances there are four array items, one for each visibility (fog) level. You need to edit CloudRelativeZMin and CloudRelativeZMax to sort out your problem. Bear in mind that the clouds are a flat texture laid on a big dome and, for fogging purposes, Z is measured on the horizontal plane only; the clouds directly above your U-boat are at Z=0 and the clouds on the horizon are at approximately Z=0.9.
