Just not as much fun when visibility close to the ground is 2-4 miles at best.

It can be a little much at times but you and I both know that it can be real based on where we live!

Yes of course it can be real depending on the humidity. But when you set humidity at 0 and still have haze like itās a 30Ā°C summer day at 80% humidity then it dorsnāt work.
At 2Ā°C with sunshine at 14:00 you will barely have any haze at all because the cold air simply canāt take up the humidity.

Are you sure you are not just seeing the bug with low clouds (or clouds down to ground level) that appeared after the SU7 update?
I canāt say I have any trouble with excessive haze, just the annoying low clouds

TBH, I think they got the haze thing right. When I fly around SoCal it even has the brown hue that you get from the smog here.

That was what I was feeling. Here in Phoenix it looked like that over downtown this morning from a distance.
If itās so real in SoCal, then why canāt you see more than 8 miles with the Santa Ana winds?

Sometimes this āfogā are actually clouds that are now laying on the ground due to a SU7 bug

This is what you do. Spawn with Live weather, note what it looks like ie. scattered overcast snow etc. now pull up the weather menu, switch to what your observations were, and voila the over done cloud layer is gone, or actually 1000ā up where it should be. I did a comparison between live weather, and metar manually added weather, and that lower layer disappears every time.
I noticed this haze / fog too in low elevations that appears to be too much and out of proportion (does not match what we have in the area here). Something is off about it.
I recommend flying into small airports that donāt have METAR readouts. The weather just sticks to what we had pre-SU7 if you do that. Not a great compromise Iāll admit, but it works for the time being.
Funny thing is that the Unreal Weather Mod finds the nearest METAR report if your destination hasnāt got one, which means yesā¦ the mod is more sophisticated than what the devs created.
Says it all.

Has Asobo/MS ever acknowledged the issue with the clouds/haze? Everyone says its a ābugā and I agree but do we have official recognition of this?

I donāt think so. They have been very quiet (on holiday)
i mean if you think about it, thats what fog is: A cloud thatās sitting on the groundā¦

ā¦and,
Haze reduces visibility, which reduces draw distance which āIncreasesā FPS and they want everyone to be able to Run and Enjoy MSFS because, after all, it is a for profit game.

All unreal weather does is set global weather presentsā¦ They just repeatedly change the whether for the entire globe based on nearby METARs. Thatās nowhere near as sophisticated as the default live 3D volumetric weather engine. I really donāt understand how anyone can try to compare the two with a straight faceā¦

Iām gonna try my REX Weather Force again.
Perhaps itās improved and more accurate than MSFS Live Weather.
Anyone else try this lately?
How and when did term haze become so popular? I really donāt understand. 90% of all cases on the forum are about FOG or MIST which are depending on humidity, not HAZE!

Thereās significant haze within the weather system. Looks pretty poor.
