Yeah, I originally thought that it was supposed to be that way, too. Basically my only real "naval" experience was a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico, no fog there. Then someone mentioned it in another thread as a "problem" and I did some thinking. :hmm:
Well if it's fog, and I can't see through it; how can I see anything? If the smoke plumes are above the fog, then why should it matter if I am still in it, as I shouldn't be able to see it? Yeah, when they get at ~300m I can see the ship, but I can always see the plume, and that just can't be right. And its definitely not the curvature of the earth issue, as the earth would have to be curved the other way for the smoke to be "higher" up.
So back to the original problem. I now know that several people are experiencing the same issue. Is there a way to fix it? I don't think my video is out of focus, everything is crystal clear on the screen, but I am also not at home. I will try it later on today.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
