Not a Bug SP1 Open Beta visibility over 10 SM bug

Summary of problem:
With the SP1 Open Beta #3 I discovered a problem with visibility. Up to 10 SM haze decreases gradually with visibility increases (as it should) and around 10 SM it suddenly disappears completely (visibility becomes infinite). No matter if you set visibility to 12, 18, 20 or 30 SM, the result is exactly the same - no haze at all. I installed stable version and there the problem doesn't occur.
UPDATE: It's weird, now it looks like the problem does occur with stable version too, but I'm quite sure it didn't right after installation...

Product Name/Version/Build:
SP1 Open Beta #3 (v. 6977? I don't know where to confirm it in app)

Area of problem (i.e. Installer, Documentation, User Interface, Graphics, etc.):
Graphics

Error Message(s) Received:
none

Reproduction Steps:
set manual weather area and check different visibility settings (e.g. 2,4,6,8,10,12,20,30 SM)

The issue you are most likely seeing here is based on X-Plane's depiction of visibility which DOES NOT render anything but unlimited when there are no cloud layers above you. We're looking at ways around this by forcing cirrus but it's not ideal.
