And because the color matches the real sky color on a nice day much better now i think flightgear should have a feature that allows us to switch the color of the sky to the right color for different weather and pollution conditions. The old sky color for rainy days and the new one for sunny days.
I've been thinking about adding that some day, but switching is no solution. Make sure there is a good transition between the two when this gets implemented.
This would allow us to simulate both weather conditions perfectly.
Your suggestion sounds interesting, but those screen shots are way too blue. We get a lot of those dry polution free days here in Maine. And it doesn't
look like that. Keep in mind that your optical sense can be a tricking thing.
Print a picture that exactly matches the color on your screen and take it
outside on a nice clear day to see how well it really matches.
Also, scanned printed photographs don't show the real sky color. Especially the sky color gets changed dramatically due to the processes the picture goes through.
Also, there is already quite some change in the appearance of the sky based on time-of-day and fog settings. Different settings could make the sky look good for clean sky situations (IMHO).
