also we can to make the fog not so ''strong'' but this will be unrealistic and will have side efects on irai also
hi stoianm, perhaps its possible to limit the sky fog distance settings so that more sky shows through so its not so boring looking, but at sea surface we have more fog so it doesnt interfere with IRAI? I notice there is a sky min/max and also a cloudsrelative min/max im wondering what these do?

fog at sea level looks good as it softens the horizon, its just the skies look flat and never vary when there is medium fog.

You can try to play with those numbers... but will be unrealistic also... on the sea level you will have no visibility and on the sky it will be like no fog

The fog itself is also hardcoded? If someone can find a way to remove completely the fog from the game, should get the oscar for modding. The fog already casing me nightmares, every time I get into the game.. there is fog

Hi sober, that link is dead, but is it pointing to your reduced fog mod? I will give that a try, sounds promising! Thanks alot

I notice this mod affects the fog distance file, would this have the unrealistic affect that stoian is talking about?

Hi all!

I also think that the fog is really annoying. Usually almost half of the patrol goes in some sort of fog. If I save the game in nice clear weather, and continue it later, it almost everytime changes back to fog that stays for a week or so. To make it worse, the fog effect is ugly looking, we have amazing graphics, (thanks again stoainm, Gap, sober, w_clear and others for enviro mods) but the fog kind of ruins it.

I think that I will also try sober's reduced fog (when I find it). No fog at all is much better than fog all the time. I hope that somebody will someday look into this and explore fix the exe-file.
