IMO, this concept is a bit unrealistic. With extremely limited visibility in foggy weather conditions, the mission would be scrubbed. They didn't risk the pilots' lives by forcing them to fly in conditions like that.
The vast majority of combat planes back then were not equipped to fly in "IFR" conditions. Some aircraft didn't even have proper attitude indicators or artificial horizons.
The biggest danger was if an aircraft had a mechanical or an engine failure shortly after takeoff. In such a situation where every foot of altitude is precious, you need to get the plane turned around and back down onto the field ASAP. If the airfield is blanketed in fog, you can't see it and you can't land. You'd end up crashing on some poor soul's house or something...not to mention probably killing yourself in the process.

It's not the concept I am looking for, it's an atmospheric condition that existed and I wondered if it was possible to re-create it in IL2. Otherwise I am stuck with Photoshop, After Effects and Green Screen which is very time consuming.
They were about 50 miles into the the mission when the fog closed in. They could see about 10 aircraft each and followed the leader. It happened, but it wasn't intentional that the weather closed in. Bravery or stupidity, you decide, but I know which I think it was!
Cheers, MP.

The latter if they had an inkling it was going to happen. There's nothing brave about a death which could be avoided

i think it was jolly who had a mod that let you set cloud height down to 100. do a quick search for cloud height mod and u should find it.
