I've also got volumetric fog enabled in 4.1 but used it since v3. If you really want to go wild with it, use PTA to further tweak your horizon, clouds etc. That way I get very good visuals & performance. Try it and tweak it further to your liking.ДЇor ASCA I use the global automatic set, so it automatically adjusts to the weather conditions wich was the main selling point of ASCA to me, enabled all content and set the cloud textures to 512x512(DXT), the overcast models to high performance. I find that values between -30 and -40 achieve the most realistic results. High altitude Volfog horizon distance adjustment: -35 Low altitude Volfog horizon distance adjustment: -35 The key here is that you now use the volfog options to adjust the visibility further, which does not make the horizon this big wall of fog: My settings are now - as found out yesterday, I'm super happy with it: Also FSX doesn't display a fog wall around when the upper visibility goes below 100 miles, so these are your tools. In AS16 for FSX I'd recommend Matt Davie's settings, as there's no volfog options. For me, the cloud draw distances make no visual difference with ASCA, so this is how I achieve better performance in complex aircraft. So I use standard settings except those that are recommended to tweak for the FSL Airbus, the visibility options and cloud draw distance wich is set at minimum to 60 miles and at maximum to 140 miles. If you set the maximum upper visibility below 100 miles, the horizon suddenly displays as a big wall of fog around you wich looks very unrealistic to me. I've experimented around with it and tweaked the settings that Matt Davies suggests, to pictures on the internet and from my own camera. You can find more settings by simply searching the net, here is something I found on YouTube, it's a little old but you can get some important information on the subject:

Be sure to read the user manuals that have come with both apps, they can be launched by selecting the question mark on the user interface. Be sure to load a flightplan in ASP4 for weather accuracy during your flight. ASP4 and ASCA will provide the most ideal weather based on changing cloud textures and sky colors, these will transform without the need to restart the sim like you had to do with previous apps.

Be sure to install a texture set like 'Refreshing' in ASCA, when that is done you can switch to 'Full Dynamics' or 'Global Automatic' and install one of those themes. Open Active Sky and choose 'Realism Mode' in the options tab. Weather settings for realism are different from one user to the next and are subjective, that's probably why no one has answered. Well, it is summer time, people are enjoying their weekend.
