You could see all of NToV with no fog in your way in classic (in-era image proof)

Was dinkin' around on the gallery of the old Legacy of Steel site, specifically the images from January of 2001 (legacyofsteel.net/gallery/2001-01/), and I stumbled upon these:

Currently on P99 there is red fog that prevents you from seeing anywhere near this far in ToV, yet in these classic screenshots they can see the entirety of NToV from Aary? Get ridda dat fog!

Edit: found another screenshot from August of 2001

They could have just had their far clip plane set to lower than maximum? It seems that way with there being conflicting screenshots, unless the view distance was raised at some point midway through Velious?
