X-plane fog vs Clear skies

[Peter Larsen 885332 0]

Without Clear skies it get's all foggy on my Mac but with clear skies i can see everything and do not have a frame rate hit, it's the same as without.

 

I can see skies and Airports from a distance.

 

 

Just a little notice. .

If you are getting an error saying that their are two many objects to render X-Plane will automatically reduce your visibility as it will never allow you to drop below 19fps. That being said FS is unrealistic in my opinion with its visibility because you can normally never see as far in the real world as you can in FSX.

Still it's boring to fly in a grey world.

 

Clear skies helps you see and clear that grey fog and it's not unreal.

I'm guessing that the presence of clouds is tipping your machine over the edge, performance-wise, causing the visibility to be reduced to maintain above the minimum frame rate.

 

Try turning off cloud shadows, and reducing the cloud size/density ratios. That will reduce the performance hit [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ociated with rendering the clouds.

So that's what it does. Never [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ociated the density with the grey clouds!! Tks for the info as always .
