This addon will give you a much better fog look to your missions, with no objects popping into view against the sky texture any more. This is a somewhat temporary addon as one day hopefully it will make it into a weather addon I still have designs on making.

Also, it includes the ClearHorizons sky textures that removes the painted mountains of the default sky texture.

Place this addon in your @JTD\Addons folder, or any mod addons folder you wish.

This addon only affects maps that use the ArmA2 background sky textures, I have not affected the OA map background sky textures.

This addon will replace the first weather overcast texture with the fog fix texture. This means that setting setOvercast = 0 will now display the gray background instead of the old blue background. The other overcast settings have been moved slightly: the next overcast setting is at 0.07 and is the sky_veryclear_sky texture, which is almost clear but not quite. Personally I have no use for the pure blue and see not much difference between pure blue and not quite pure blue :)


If you want your missions to use the fog fix then you must use "0 setOvercast 0" to set the sky to gray, and your fog will look much better. If your mission gradually removes the fog you will see a very smooth transition from the fog fix texture to the next default sky texture.

Limitations:
Early morning or late afternoon will reveal a limitation of the effectiveness of the sky texture in the direction of the sun. There seems to be a lighting effect that can bring back the object-popping in that direction only.

Kindest regards

JTD.
