Mac_Maddog88 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Unfortunately so... I'd just add a layer of lower visibility in place of the fog, Microsoft basically just stuck a cloud at ground level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Mike, thats indeed normal for default except that you've a 3rd party weather engine... I don't own Rex, I fly Opus, but I would be surprised if there was not an option in Rex to cure that awful fog. Opus does it nicely out of the box.

P3DV2 does have volumetric fog. It looks great compared to the default "fog". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventhough i bought Prepar3dV2 and tried it ( looks great ) i need to change my nvidia card, gtx580 to a better card maybe a gtx660 or a more expensive one gtx780).

Guest Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Rex actually doesn't display fog like that. I've had it for years and using the FSX weather engine fly in real world weather using Rex for my clouds, water etc., which, of course, often means mist and fog and they display on my machine as realistically as you would expect. Thin, almost transparent in places up to thick when you can see hardly anything at all. I don't know what it is, but you've got something wrong in your settings or installation mikee. Try using a Sky Theme of 'Just Right' and Cloud Theme of 'Cumulous 59' in Rex. But use the FSX real world weather to determine what you should be flying in. When its foggy or misty it shows it exactly as it is and here in the British Isles and Ireland we get a lot of that sort of weather especially at this time of year so you've got plenty of opportunity to try it.
