Nice progress Magnus and team. Could you say if cloud self shadowing will stay in 1.14? You showed a preview of it a while back but was that just a test of the tech? I know things have been redone so it might not be in the build featured in subsequent screenshots. It adds an extra layer of depth to things and would be a welcomed addition to the final 1.14 build.

@digitalcitiz3n Yes it is. -
X-Visibility - Dynamic Haze Control
JordanChin commented on JordanChin's file in Weather and Environment
I may have a solution for the unrealistic glow during sunrise/sunset. However, it requires a change to one of the shader files. In the file new_scattering.glsl search for "float atmo_rat" (line 138 in my file), then change the value from: float atmo_rat = clamp(cam_height / ATMO_H, 0.0,1.0); to float atmo_rat = clamp(cam_height / ATMO_H, 0.0,0.0); -

@oxxy Yes. No issues from what I can see. -

@GP2_Engine I don't think there's a dataref to change the colour of it. Maybe it's something we could ask Laminar for in a bug report. -
X-Visibility - Dynamic Haze Control
JordanChin commented on JordanChin's file in Weather and Environment
If you find the haze too thick at higher altitudes, at line 34 you could try something like "local fog_Ratio = (vis_graphical/visibility_reported_m)*0.25". That'll make the total haze generated be 1/4 the normal value. No longer needed in v1.0.1. Just change the value of HighAltFogMult to something lower than 1. -

Donation: If you would like to support me, you can always get me a coffee. https://www.paypal.me/JordanAChin For XP 11.25+ This script provides dynamic haze/fog control based on reported visibility, providing smooth visibility transitions throughout all phases of flight. This means no "infinite" visibility the higher you get, no abrupt visibility changes and a realistic looking atmosphere based on reported visibility for the area. Features: * Smooth visibility transitions during all phases of flight * No white out/grey out/blue out when passing through clouds or at night (My older "No White Out In Clouds" script is no longer needed) * No more infinite visibility * More challenge in IMC conditions * Works with default weather (manual and real weather) Compatibility: * Not compatible with X-Enviro * Not tested with Ultra weather, disabling the haze options in that plugin should get it working with X-Visibilty theoretically * FSE v0.5 uses the older gradual visibility script in the TrueHaze.lua file. Remove all text below (or remove lines 122-288) --TRUEHAZE INTERNAL PARAMETERS and this script should work fine with FSE * If you are using the "No White Out In Clouds" script, please remove it as it is no longer needed Installation: This script was tested on X-Plane 11.25, and it requires the flyWithLua NG plugin available at: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/38445-flywithlua-ng-next-generation-edition-for-x-plane-11-win-lin-mac/ To install, place X-Visibility.lua in the following folder: <X-Plane installation path>\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts\ Usage: There is no interface but it is possible to change some parameters of this script with the following lines: local plugin_on = true --enable plugin local debug_info = false --show debug info local atmoTop_visibility = 30480 --elevation to apply the max visibility, default is 30480 m local minFog_value = 0.6 --minimum fog value between 0.0-1.0, default is 0.6 local atmoTop_Fog = 1.5 --fog value after passing atmoTop_visibility local highAltFogMult = 1 --reduce to 0.5 or 0.25 if you feel the haze at higher altitudes is too strong, default is 1 Acknowledgements: Thanks to @SNowblind7 for his help testing this script and for his initial work in the gradualVisibility script from which this is built upon.
