Visibility at night too high?

[ddunwoody]

Hi,

I flew last night in 2300m visibility and I was wondering if you could offer any comment on the difference in the two shots below at EBLG taken with the time set 12 hours apart, but otherwise the same conditions (ASXP/RWC/volumentic clouds) (EBLG 240120Z 29010KT 2300 -SN -PL BKN003 M00/M01 Q0994 REFZRA R22L/590294):

It feels to me as if the visibility at night should have been worse.

We don't actually control ground visibility at all through SkyMaxx Pro; it's entirely done by X-Plane itself. In real life however, lights do "punch through" haze and fog to some degree and can be seen further out.

Thanks. As I come across further queries I'll bring them up. It's definitely hitting that spot for me of "I like this enough that I want it to be better"!
