    You are using the current Lighting & Graphic EP V2.2.1 from Jetwash?, It's in the engine.ini, look at about line 22. The parameter will remove 95 - 98% of the reward popups; only DTG can eradicate them.

    So the distance fog during sunny weather can't be adjusted? It can only be turned off? Am I correct?

    Well, yes, you can, with this parameter in your engine.ini:
    r.FogStartDistance=40000 <-- I was using this before, prior to the first new version 2.0 that was released 04-03-2025
    BUT...
    With the current version of the ini mod, great care needs to be taken because of the engine.ini file provided, and the Godmode save file; you have to check with Jetwash when he can chime in or "backup" and do some testing.

    Whoa! It gives me 21 FPS instead of 75 before.
    Is there a way to reduce the intensity of the haze or increase its range in a less radical way?

    That setting pushes the Fog back, so you see it further away, and along with the other parameters in the engine.ini file, and godmode.Sav file is likely why the FPS dropped, you can try lowering that number, but this is where testing needs to be done, and if you're using the better shadows mod, this could affect everything also, I don't have that mod installed, as for the other settings in the mod, I hesitate to give anyone further info that could alter the mod created by jetwash. There are instructions with each set of settings.

    There is indeed. Although be aware it may make things look slightly darker during the day, as it gets rid of the blue tinge and makes dark areas pure black instead. You’ll want to make sure the shadows are extended too.

    The command will get rid of the blue tip phase completely, so you can see right into the distance, This also makes sunrises and sunsets much more clearer, with more clarity and colour.

    Use the commands
    TimeOfDaySystem.LowerHemisphereSunLightIlluminanceMult 0
    r.Shadow.DistanceScale 5

    Those commands need an = before the 0 and 5 rather than a space.
