I have this problem as well. Here are more details and things I have noticed:
- Same as others, I can see parts of ships clearly through the fog, but the main hull is not even visible until VERY close. It is as if the fog applies to some of the part models that make up a ship, but not to all.
- I went near an island and I can see the trees clear as day, as if they are floating in the air. But, the land is not visible until I am VERY close. Again, some models seem to not be affected by fog, but others are not.
- I personally believe this to be a bug. It is either a problem in the program (not applying fog correctly for all objects), or a problem with the video drivers not supporting fog as SH3 is using it.
I am using IUB, with the atmosphere mod (so I can see farther). Still this does not help much, if at all, in fog - as I see the same effects.
Gosh, if someone knows how to fix this issue I would be VERY pleased if they would share the fix.
For me, I agree that in fog you would loose visibility of the ship (or land) once enough "fog" was between you and the object. But, you would loose visibility for ALL objects, not just the land or the hull of the ship.
