Let's Talk Haze

[PatrickAWlson]

Looking for tips and feedback on the best use of haze.  So haze is a  real number between 0 and 1.  1 is maximum haze, zero minimal, everything in between is a variance.  Simple enough - it's  just a number.

 

What i want to know id how best to use it. 

Does haze increase or decrease CPU/GPU load?

What values of haze go best with which atmospheric settings?  Less haze in clear skies?  Doesn't matter?  

How does haze work with precipitation?

Odd numbered atmospheric settings produce morning and evening ground fog.  04_overcast_03 will produce ground fog.  04_overcast_02 will not.  How does haze interact with ground fog?  Is haze distant atmosphere where ground fog is - well, on the ground right underneath you?

Patrick, yes haze decreases load.

I used it (or rather a weather preset that already had it before the separate setting was introduced) to increase performance in a mission or two that were struggling otherwise due to a nearby city and other assets placed.

 

It drastically decreases draw distances.
