What would cause my haze to become yellow?

Postby PlutonianEmpire » Mon Apr 28, 2014 7:04 pm

For some reason, my haze is yellow, instead of the gray that it should be. What would cause that? Buggy graphics card? Or did I install a bad sky texture?

Just a thought.... ;) ...!

Are you using the "Bloom" add-on...(with Shift + F12)...?

That can sometimes create strange scenery effects!

If so, switch it off and try again.

I believe the haze colour can also be dictated by the sky textures.
When I was using the FS Sky World 2004 freeware addon (it's like REX), I choose some cool dusk and dawn sky textures which produced a nice orange-ish color in the evening.

Here is how it looked like:
By day:

By evening (with a redish tint):

Other evening (with yellowish tint):

As you can see, the color of the sun light and the haze/fog was impacted by the new sun color, and all of this was done through the sky textures set I had installed :)

Lol, you were right, it was sky textures. Apparently I installed a bad set, and got yellow "smog" at visibilities below 20 km even at midday as a result. Cheers. :)

I have seen that sky colour in Toronto in the sumer on a hot day with a still wind :shock: Very hard to breath.
Keep smiling
