Okay, got it - thanks - mean one.

Basically, you're never looking at the top of the layer, you're looking
about one attenuation length into the layer - but under a shallow angle,
that is essentially the layer top.

Now, the amount of light decreases as you go lower and lower into the fog,
so you get to see slightly darker fog looking straight down than looking
under an angle, but the skydome shader doesn't know this because it
doesn't have any concept where things are in position space, it just knows
angles. That's why the colors don't match exactly.

I might be able to correct for that...

While I was thinking, the ocean tiling problem actually looks similar to
my terminator too-large-numbers problem - which is why your altitude
comparison works better because it doesn't have a large distance in the
game. Will have a look *sigh* (really want to fly for a few days instead
of fixing things - I'm logging 10 times more time in the ufo than in the
sum of all other aircraft).

Cheers,
