Hi Heiko, Unless the same fogging technique is used you'll see the tile edges in very low/ very high visibility conditions, or from high altitudes, or some other artefacts. Allowing a decoupling between the Skydome and the ligthfield/haze shaders, would lead only to inconsistent settings, and useless bug reports from users blindingly enabling every switch available to them. The current effect scheme and the corresponding dialog options tries to prevent this, and tries to use a consistent set of shaders. This is extended to the options available when Rembrandt is enabled too (i.e. it doesn't allow you to enabe the light scattering shaders when Rembrandt is active since those aren't ported, and don't display right, or any other shader that isn't ported yet). This doesn't work quite right yet, as others have mentioned here, but Gijs is aware of that. I hope you can now better understand the reasoning behind this.
