Fog/Dust only renders in bubble around player

[Nealius]

The fog/dust only renders in a roughly 20nm bubble around the player. Once you get above 20,000ft, typical operational altitudes for combat, you can see this bubble. Beyond the bubble everything is clear. First picture is dust, second is fog. Both are from about 30,000ft.

Hi, 

please attach your dcs log and let us know what your view distance is set at. Is it set at Extreme or lower?

thank you

@BIGNEWY View distance in these screenshots was "Ultra." Here's a dcs.log but I'm not sure if it's any help since I didn't fly any foggy missions on it.

thanks can you set it to extreme and check the difference out

On a similar note... Although I love the fog effect, for me it breaks immersion as the edges are constantly shimmering, any obvious solution?

No change on Extreme, unfortunately. Taken at 11,000ft and 20,000ft from the F11 free camera.

I will mention it to the team, obviously we have to have a limit but I will enquire about increasing it. 

thank you

I have spoken with the team, the fog accounts for spherical earth, however the terrain is flat, for now we will have to live with this and compromise, but it is something we will keep in mind. 

thank you

please post in another thread with your dcs log so we can look at your settings and a track replay example, I will ask the team about it 

thank you

raising fog altitude, solves the "bubble" and flickering of fog

thanks
