White band under the blue sky - Is this normal?

[Laurent]

My FMS 2.0 b7 works very fine on a PIII600 with GF2MX200, Win2000, DX8.1, etc.

Only the sky does not begin at ground level; it seems to hang in the air and I see a white band under it, covering the whole horizon where the sceneries end. It is really annoying when I use the chase plane view. From the ground, it is less of a problem because the white band is hidden behind the scenery.

Is this normal or is it some kind of bug?

Thanks in advance!

Put Fog on and the white band will blend with the sky.
But yes it looks weird if you have fog off.
Just a way that FMS uses to manipulate graphics.
With Fog on it promotes some realism. But you lose if you take fog off.

Thanks alot.
I thought I was the only one seeing 'white bands under the sky'...

An extention to the scenery files to specify the outside border color would help a lot then, just a green or brown etc 'outside scenery' would make it look much better. Even just a menu option so you could set it yourself would correct it well enough.
