Well I just spent 10 million years getting the Aug 2001 trilogy client to connect to a locally hosted server just to demonstrate that the trilogy client's far clip plane went super far, which also explains why some of the in-era screenshots have much closer fog than others, it was most certainly their clip plane setting.
The reason my fog tint is blue and you can see the sky before I disable it is probably because the nightmare DLL with 24,000 lines of awful slop code only translates enough of the packets to the client to simply allow me to get into the game and see my inventory, the sky and fog colors are set correctly on the server side, I can go in on a normal client and lower my far clip plane to the minimum and it looks just like p99, it's just that I don't think that's actually being communicated to my client because I only have the bare necessities to be able to get in game and walk around in my magic little DLL.
