The fog distance may certainly be a bit too small, especially when looking 
at the inside of the building. However, I do not feel that as a problem and 
rather welcome the wash out there, so maybe this is about differences of 
perception between observers :-)

My principal test when considering fog is how crisp the foreground is 
compared to the background or the middle ground. I must admit too that media 
works better than fog of course, but I do not always opt for that solution.
