Default Visibility with clouds

Flying on server last night (non beta)

When I was searching for air and ground objects (eg planes and AAA) I approached an airfield. When a cloud was between me and the airfield I could see nice big black dots where each AAA and plane was situated even including a plane that was in a hangar. As I passed fom behind the cloud I could confirm those positions but it was far more difficult to see.

So effectively you can position yourself behind clouds and use them as a radar.

I confirmed this with another pilot. He was using ATI graphics and I was using Nvidia. Both DX10 Vista64 & W7 64.

So this is a graphical dispay error.
