DM mission fog

[Alex72]

How did they do the fog in the DM mission? No matter what i try in the editor i cant get the same result. Fog slider in ARMA2 will make a boring perfect VD limit and no rolling fog clouds (volumetric).

Special scripting? Was hoping the WEATHER module would save me, but nothing seems to happen on the ground with it.

It is a module.

It is a module.

Ok sounds good. An internal module or do you have a name?

Thanks Kju.

Bit overkill for myself, but hopefully this will see an easier form later on. Would be nice to easily add that mist in the same way as weather or any other logic.

Yes special scripting :p

That's how BIS did it, in init.sqf, this can be found in the DM mission folder.

PostProcess is commented out, just remove the // if you want postProcessing as in that DM mission.
