I'm feeling the same way about the haze. It'll be that way some of the time. Now 95% of the time, looking back at flying around the US and North Eastern Europe over the last 30 years, it'll be hazy in the BoB time frame. In the winter and sometimes summer after a cold front passage there's hardly any visible moisture or haze in the air. Those are the memorable 50+ mile visibility days.
If they ever get around implementing the dynamic weather we might see a hazy day one day and a 50+mile visibility the next. For now, especialy flying at the higher altitudes, it's almost photorealistic. When flying at 18000ft and looking down at the Cliffs of Dover it makes sense you can't see every detail on the ground.
Liked the dawn and dusk timeframes better in the older version. Less blinding sun and light effects. The sun is not that strong 30 minutes before sunset or 30 minutes after sunrise. We used the old fingers below the sun trick to see how much time before sunrise we had. 1 Finger equals 15 minutes of remaining sunlight. This never left me blinded while looking at the sun the last hour before sunset.
The program still freezes after about one or two quick missions. Quicker when it's a mission over land with more than a few aircraft involved. Might be the lack of graphics memory (8800gts 640m) or just the overall crapness of my system. Windows XP, 6600 duocore at 3.4 ghz with 4mb of ram. Anyone out there with a similar system that can run the program without crashing every 10 minutes? Over water the fps is around 20-25 and smooth most of the times. Sometimes I get the little stutter every 5 seconds. After a restart the stutter is mostly gone.
