The Missing Piece of the Sky

This week, I added atmospheric fogging to Supersonic Fight.

This simulates how tiny particles in the atmosphere scatter and absorb sunlight, creating a sky that feels far more believable and much closer to what you actually see from the cockpit at 30,000 feet.

First, here is the scene without atmospheric fogging:

And here is the same scene with the new system enabled:

To put the result to the test, I compared my screenshot to real-world photography taken at 30,000 feet:

I am genuinely thrilled with how closely the in-game result matches the real thing.

Next up: crepuscular rays...better known as God Rays.
