IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ
Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.
We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.
Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION
Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired
The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

Get into your "dataref editor" - "fog-begone" - mine's at 1.5000000. Other plugins - FSEhancer" and "Ultimate mod" help.

Is that accessed while Im in the Sim or is it accessible thru the XP11 install Folder? Gonna try it as soon as I have XP11 re installed clean and my FSE Scenery back in so I can access CYIX in NWT and Soto Airbase in Honduras. My RCAF Twin Otter needs it's legs stretched.
Maybe a simpler solution...
Do you manually configure weather or get real world weather? I usually download and as you see there is often a distant haze which I don't mind. On one occasion I switched to manual and changed the visibility to maximum and things were as clear as a bell. I may be way off what your referring to in which case... sorry.

One thing I always learned from any Flight Sim be it FS or XP dont use the Default WX Engine, it's worse then your 600pm Local WX forecast lol. Im waiting to see if the Active Sky or REX team in FS jumps to XP Development. Im told WX Development is a Low Priority with the XP Dev Team.

I was just going to say..never use default WX...
I believe that the amount of haze has to do with your graphics settings. The more powerful the gpu the less haze appears.

You can make it look this good for free using HD World Scenery..even better if you add payware Ortho4x. We did the same thing in FSX but their freeware didn't do much for scenery.
