About the adjustment of sky color
-
Yes, a purple twilight exists.
This color can appear when there are much dust in the air (that can also look yellow) but not necessary
The below pic was taken in february in Luxembourg (on the web the purple is not obvious but it is much more intense in the RGB original)see also this one taken after Pinatubo explosion

Thank you for the post, luxorion.
I was wrong, it seems that purple sky exist in real. -
I don’t think so, because I can not find such dark band in most of photo which be taken in the clear sky.
On my side, no needs of photos … I see it with my own eyes quite often.
Will try to make other photos as soon as I can …

From the ground or in flight?

Thank you for teaching, Dee-Jay.
I never know such meteorological phenomena.So then, my question is “Is this phenomenon always happens in clear sky?”.
As I said, I think atmosphere implement should be “typical” in resource(time and/or number of man/woman for work) limited development environment. -
Took for you this morning at FL145:

Wow, that’s amazing!
Thank you for photos, Dee-Jay.
Good luck for your flight. -

http://i.imgur.com/R1EdNOV.jpgDee-Jay, I confirm that your 2 pictures are very well simulated in BMS.
I did some test flies at various altitudes to see how BMS managed clouds and horizon.
I crashed twice and was attacked sometimes too, but I had the time to record some “historical” pictures before ejecting, hi
But I think that I lost my fly licence in flying at 300 ft ground over 500 kts (altough some did it in south Belgium !!)Defining a cloud layer at 33500 ft with default atmosphere settings, BMS creates a layer of haze over the horizon when you fly between ~5000 ft at the cloud layer. Below ~5000ft the atmosphere is clear to the horizon.
So it respects correctly the visual aspect even if the transition looks a bit sharp aloft.
I am positively surprised to see how BMS manages the crossing of high clouds at 33500ft.
Even the shadow of the airplane is projected on the cloud layer.
As not many screenshoots show renderings of the various levels of the atmosphere or the crossing of a thin layer, I took the time to extract some screens below.
Note that the HUD symbology is not always centered because I use a TrackIR.Low level : 300’, 1800’, 2700’
Medium level : 4600’, 8300’, 9500’, 10800’, 19968’ where the haze layer is the most obvious
High Level : 31990’ and 33500ft, a few tens of feets below ceiling
High Level : 33700’ and 33800ft just above ceiling
As we see the gray/white horiontal band disappears when you cross the cloud layer just above 33500’Other views aloft, just above ceiling 35015’ and 35030’ then 42120’
The airplane shadow projects on clouds (the support is not the sea !)Settings : Theatre Korea original, Summer, 12:00, with mods from Tom Catz Korea2014 + Admin/Buildings and maybe Water
Instant play fo low/mod level and dogfight to reach highest levels. -
Bump!
Purple sky during evening/dawn time still exists in 4.33, and that’s the only thing I can’t take in this great simulator.
Just hope the color will be changed in future update, but I guess dev team won’t care my request like before. -
Honestly I don’t think it will be done in short future. This is probably not so easy.
About the dark line on the horizon, I have see it multiple time in flight, sometimes even more darker. It’s cause by temperature inversion layer, witch is much more common that you think. This is not easy to see from the ground, but the last time when I cross at 2000ft, I can see it very well. -

Thank you for sharing your experience.I’m satisfied with dark line on the horizon than before.
I respect all of features in Falcon BMS, because they are based on someone’s real life experience.
