Overcast fog looks terrible for me

[Irregular programming]

While flying the first campaign the first thing I noticed are what appears to be large rectangles of fog that go straight down.

 

Also as I fly through it the fog consists of large visible triangles and when I get above it I get blinded by the sunlight reflecting on the top layer, this effect is way more intense than actually looking directly at the sun.

 

Also the sun gives me a stage-light effect on to the cockpit, it doesn't seem to light the cockpit as much as it is putting a yellow cone texture on top of it.

 

I'll try and put up a video or screen shot up when I am able to.

Most likely the ALT-TAB bug, but I'll confirm when I see a pic.

jup, dont Alt-Tab out of the sim, or run it in windowed mode. at least i had the same and this helped.

 

(if you are "lucky" enough, the smoke from destroyed enemies starts to look the same after Alt-Tab)

Yeah it's the alt+tab bug, I realised this after browsing around here, there are several pictures in this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68101

 

I always alt+tabbed while the game was loading, so I always got this error. While in beta I couldn't fly the overcast missions due to performance so I never noticed it before.
