Hi Curt,
thanks for your comments and explanations.

Well, I have little to add.

Hi Thorsten,
I haven't seen any other developers reply yet so let me jump in and say what
I can. First of all the screen shots look spectacular -- really well done!
It also looks like you've done a very nice job of blending the clouds with
the sky dome.
On the subject of scenery and visibility:
I've spent some time over the last days to add a model for an optically
thick regime to the skydome scattering shader. I am rather happy with the
model (as far as the skydome is concerned, it now renders visibilities
down to 1000 m in a plausible way, the transition to the optically thin
regime lo
