Adam Banks Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Maybe in the old days ... I mean in Victorian times (when children were still being sent up chimneys) and thick, yellow smog would blanket the city!! I've always thought (with FSX, P3D and now MSFS) that the transition times around morning or evening have always been totally up the creek. Far too abrupt - and far to early (or late). 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternT3 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I can't talk about London, but where I live in the countryside, I've see thick fog, where you can only see 10-15 feet in front of you. I've even had to stop driving because of it and wait for it to clear up a bit 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I can remember very thick fogs when I was young back in the late 50s, living on the SW edge of London. Also I can remember seeing public service ads on the tv asking people to limit burning coal fires to try and avoid the smog. I hadn't passed my driving test very long and I drove home one night at walking pace as the fog was so thick. That was in Bournemouth in 1974. Here in Victroria a 100 yard visibility mist is a thick pea souper. Anyway Carlos that is a great image. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too abrupt - and far to early (or late). Really good point to consider too. It was very early indeed, right at the edge from a bit dark to the rise of the sun Thank you mates Have a great weekend Cheers Carlos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Cool shot Carlos. I remember when I was stationed at RAF Upper Heyford in the early 80's. I was on base and trying to walk to the dormitory from the squadron. It was night and we had such dense fog I couldn't even see my feet. I heard a car engine and got sideswiped by a car. They knocked me over and I got bloodied but managed to walk to the dorm, several miles away. It was so quiet it was creepy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mac Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Great Smokey shot Carlos! Don’t know about London but Dublin was just as smoggy in the 1980’s! You couldn’t see 10 ft in front of you and it would whip the lungs of you. The Smokey coal ban in the early 90’s sorted that issue!

Sniper31 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Atmospheric image for sure Carlos! I can say that here where I live in Colorado, due to the high elevation, we get some thick fog mixed with actual low clouds. When that happens visibility is less than 50 feet. It is mostly due to low clouds when that happens. It's really neat, so long as you don't have to drive in it. The airport is immediately shut down when that happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting Fog here is rare, I've seen it of course but it is rare. When it happens it traps me, I really like it. What we have is incredible pouring rain with lots of rays, mainly during Sept to mid Dec, our lowest tourist season. Cheers Landon!

Far too abrupt - and far to early (or late) Yes, I agree, far too abrupt, sometimes its a major change in a few minutes. Nice shot Carlos and of course this can happen. England and London is famous for the fog there. In Germany we very often have the situation on the highways in autumn or spring. You cannot drive anymore and people know that but they drive to reach their destination and than terrible accidents can happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
