Avimimus you were totally right. It was an issue with the new 4.09 dlls. Now it works for the two good weather conditions.
It gives an extra dimension as it opens the space and visibility becomes more realistic. On my full 24" screen the visual impact is great. On the Slovenia map it is impressive. And with the Nvidia 8800 Ultra with its 768 MB of memory the added graphic load has no impact on performance.
I fly often in the Swiss Alps and I can tell that when the weather is good and air is clear and cool you get 100 miles of visibility.
But if the air is hotter in summer time then you have more humidity and you get much less visibility.
I wonder how it was in the pacific where temperatures are high and it is humid. What kind of visibility you would get let's say at 10'000 feet.
I hope that BOB will have realistic visibility distance but also applied on all the object we put on the maps otherwise it is a half good thing.
I have not checked if there is an impact on the visibility of incoming aircraft.
