Scenery patch 20: Fog

Scenery patch 20 is now live with the following changes:

Visuals

• Added an adjustable fogginess setting below the cloud slider next to the Watch and Drive buttons
• Permanently enabled haze graphics effect since fog won't work without it
• Enabled sky reflections for the highest graphics quality level by default
• Adjusted grain graphics effect
• Reduced water flickering
• Improved clouds

Miscellaneous

• Fixed a severe performance problem caused by extremely long shadows during sunrise and sunset
• Fixed a possible crash in the controls configuration screen
• Fixed minimap to update signal state immediately upon passing a clear AWS magnet
• Disabled ability to mess with controls in watch mode because axis-based hardware controllers would prevent AI from doing its job
• Removed "accurate tunnel mouths" graphics setting because it would make terrain load too slowly even on high-end systems
• Optimised shadow rendering

What's next?

The next major update will be the gameplay update, to be released in 2025, along with smaller patches as required.
