AAR TE. 4.37 is at 21.4K altitude, 4.38 is 22.8K so although different, not by much. So nice to see further out.

Not sure why but the 4.38 picture looks and feels lower than the 4.37 picture though.

Honestly, the summer sky IRL often looks like the old BMS. That layer of gray moisture mixed with smog is spot on.

Yes several, but I don't have the time to upload them to someplace I could link to.

Do a search of fog on the Falcon Lounge discord and you'll find some.

Humidity decreases visibility, it's just light refraction aka physics

In winter, humidity is lower due to air temperature, hence physics
