Your fog value exceeding the slider max by default is a result of the previous bug that was supposedly fixed.
The only way to fix this is to set Fog Nearest to 1 and then click on the Fog Distance slider until you bring it to 50 or so. Then save your map and close Game Guru. When you re-open it it should start to remember your settings and ignore the 1500 default from the bug.
Clicking on the Fog Distance slider, will require many many clicks. It can be a bit tedious and even physically painful but once you get it to the middle and save, you should be good.
