Are those clouds on the horizon or is it distant scenery? If it's scenery then funnily enough, back in Feb2008, I reported a bug where exactly the opposite seemed to be happening i.e. the scenery was ok up to a radius of about 12nm around the aircraft but was invisible beyond that. Where the scenery was mountainous you could see it gradually appearing as you flew towards it; can you see the distant scenery (if that is what it is) disappearing as you fly towards it? If you try flying higher, can you establish whether there is indeed a ring of scenery around your current position?
