The land off towards the horizon is wrong looking, there is no (or very little) atmospheric fogging applied to distant land, and this make for a hard line at the distant edge of a sim, and you can see the sim is a square viewed at a very oblique angle.

With the same draw distance and fog ratio in the main grid, there is a blurring in the distance and you can't see the hard edge and can't see that the sim is a square.

I have a feeling that if very many people see the distant land the way I am seeing it there will be a lot of discontent.

I don't notice this with my 6600GT, everything has a decent fog in the distance and looks fairly normal. Then again my fog is set to 3.0 wich may have something to do with it.

I get a proper fading in the distance in the main grid with fog ration set to 4.

In preview, in order to get is smoky enough to obscure the effect I am whining about, I mean, describing I have to turn the fog ration to 2. Which makes it pretty foggy.

I don't like fog.

I can't stand SL's fog. It won't go above 4 in the GUI but can be set to higher values in settings.ini (40 will kill it for the most part). Draw distance affects fog which affects how clouds are rendered (which they seem to be set to "glow" (prelit/full-bright)--particularly annoying at night--if fog is disabled or far away as to not affect clouds (like with a 512m draw distance). I want an option to disable fog PERMANENTLY in the preferences without having to use the debug command all the time (since it seems to stop the world background color from updating).

I've already submitted bugs (1, 2) on all these things but no acknowledgement from LL...
