Faded out distant dots visible when in front of clouds.

[Why485]

Dots fade out with distance (this is good) but if they are in front of clouds, they appear to "punch a hole" through them and show the color behind the clouds, making them visible even though they should be faded out.

EDIT: I've added another, better example in the post below. To make it easy, I am also pasting the same gif, and attaching the new track to this post as well.

It's a nightmare in VR. ...lol

Be nice if ED took this seriously, it's been completely broken since they crippled the spotting dots mod. It also can't be turned off because the option has no effect!

I think you need to restart the game when you change that setting.

I'll give that a try, thanks.

Yes, targets in front of clouds are very easily spotted.

This is still an issue in 2.9.6.57650.

This is still an issue as of 2.9.6.57650. I've taken a new gif of the issue, and attached a new track to demonstrate.

These dots are MiG-29s many miles (>30 miles) away and should be invisible. When against the horizon, with no clouds behind them, they are indeed invisible. However when put in front of the clouds, they are silhouetted with what seems to be the sky color behind them.

For completeness' sake, these are the settings I recorded the video with.

at least Im not alone with this issue

[Why485]

As of 2.9.11.4686 this is still an issue. This gif is showing dots bumping up against the maximum render distance of objects (~80km) but the dots are visible because they in front of clouds. This is identical to what previous gifs of the issue show, just re-affirming that this is still an issue and nothing has changed.

Yes I see this too
