Hello,
First of all, thank you for the excellent work done on Aerofly.
I would however like to share a suggestion regarding the atmosphere and sky rendering, in order to make the experience even more immersive.
Currently, at high altitude, the sky often appears uniformly dark blue, with a rather abrupt transition between the horizon and the upper atmosphere. Compared to real-life photos taken from a commercial airliner, we can observe that:
- The sky shows a more gradual gradient (lighter blue near the horizon, deeper blue overhead),
- The horizon is often slightly hazy or diffused due to atmospheric scattering,
- Colors vary depending on altitude, time of day, and weather conditions.
Possible improvements could include:
- A more realistic atmospheric gradient (with more pronounced Rayleigh/Mie scattering),
- A slight atmospheric haze near the horizon even in clear weather,
- Variations in sky tint depending on altitude and time of day (morning, noon, sunset),
- A smoother transition between the Earth and the sky at very high altitude.
These adjustments would make cruise flights even more immersive and closer to reality, especially during long-haul flights.
Thank you again for your work and for listening to the community.
Keep up the great work.
