If I can give my opinion, 1 mile visibility sometimes looks like 20 mile
visibility when your only a mere 3000 ft up in the sky ... It's a really
a difficult subject this....

As I continue to ponder my horizon ideas, I am driven to ask: is the
FlightGear visibility code perhaps too naive?  In real life, if you are
ten miles up looking down on landscape with fifteen-mile visibility, do
you really only see a little five-mile-radius patch?
(And: is this what the current visibility model does, or have I just
pushed it too hard and misunderestimated its sophistication?)
