The LoD is currently hardcoded to 20km, so if visibility 20km, it
kicks in
before the transparency effect.
I have a good fix that takes into account the current visibility as part
of
the Impostors work, but that won't be available until after the release.
In the meantime, I can

Technically, tile generation is tied to actual visibility. The max.

At view distances 100 km it becomes more and more apparent that the
flightgear scenery is flat and not a sphere, doesn't it?
I think a realistic horizon is impossible as long as scenery/world is
a disc.
What's more important from high altitude is what happens beyond view
distance where no

Good Idea, I will try that.

We should agree on a common place to publish actual surface wind (for
one or many given locations?) in the property tree. /environment/config
is definitely not the best place to use but due to historical reasons,
many objects rely on these properties (windsock, chimneys/smoke, many
more).

Well, the scenery structure is dissimilar to the normal structure of patching

A scenery like Washington, DC does not have the same frame rate hit as Juneau
