Still no luck ..
I just have tried even such settings -



'Water column' effect is visible at the ranges not further than 700-800 meters..

That's because I have them set to max distance of 700m in that file I posted. How far out you want to see them

TDW, I have tried different settings.. 400 (my edition), 700 (your file) and even 1500 - my last edition, as you can see on the screen in my previous post.. 'water columns' effect is not visible further than 700 meters with any settings which I tried..

Stock game range is 400.. my screens with this range for both files (stock and TDW's) you can see earlier in the thread..

EDIT: I'm not even sure that these values (400, 700 etc.) are in meters.. rather seems like some kind of game's units..

Volodya, have you tried further increasing the far density scale? Try setting it to 1 or more and see what happens

No, not yet.. do you think it worth to try? I'll try a little later ..

EDIT: on the other hand - 1 is a stock setting
EDIT2: oops.. I messed up.. I thought you said about opacity scale.. OK.. will try density

close density scale is 1. Maybe using 0.05 as far density is pretending too much: particles get so small and so sparse that they are hardly rendered on our monitors

As I said in EDITs , I will try.. 0.05 was a stock setting so I wasn't playing around much..
