Missing haze (visibility) outside METAR vicinity

Unless people actually bring this up clearly and specifically during Asobo’s livestreams, this will never be addressed with the attention that it deserves. People had to buy REX atmos to somewhat alleviate this issue for the previous sim. I’ve waited for 4 years for them to give a real fix, and they didn’t even talk about it enough during their countless livestreams. So I went in expecting nothing to be done about it in the new sim - I was right.
Those working a day job sometimes find it hard to catch the livestream but here is my recommendation for phrasing this question/wishlist item:
“We need haze and particulate matter simulation that isn’t just a circular “cloud layer” for a few miles around the airport region. That is not how haze and mist work.”
Besides, haze doesn’t cause the kind of strong visibility reduction close to the airplane as you see in the sim now. They need to look at what VisualXP does for XP12/Rex Atmos for MSFS, or heck, even the default weather options in X Plane that enable people to set RVR/Visibility manually.
