At 5000 feet, 120kts, using the beechcraft baron, the scenery looks great.
I notice one strange phenomenon though. The area closest to the plane is bright, vivid green, while in the middle distance it's more muted tones, almost like a mist. The boundary between the bright and the misty zones is very sharp.
I'm wondering if the reason is that the ground below is below sea level, so the visibility layer doesn't reach that low (in the customize weather option in fs9.)

That is an known problem. It's a rendering bug in the engine of fs2004. Normally you don't see those fenomena's, but, because we use some special techniques that aren't used often, those bugs were not solved in the sp's of fs2004.
