Oh The Weather...

Has anyone finally fixed the bad weather problem with SH3 yet?

I mean really fix it. Tried Stop the Rain & RealWeatherFix. Neither one gets rid of the 15MPH winds. I'm a deck gun fan

but don't get much of a chance to use it. Rough seas 75% of the time? Jeeeez.

I have SH3 DVD so I guess it has the latest patch.

Thanks all!

Short answer: Yes.

From the file ReadMe_StieblerEnvSim.txt, which is included with V16B1_Stiebler4C:

Quote:

Stiebler EnvSim.Act

Two versions are available:
The NYGM upgrade NYGM3_6E contains a version dated 24/11/2011, which can be used with ANY SH3 installation.
The Stiebler4C_Addon_for_V16B1 hard code installation contains a superior version, dated 12/11/2014, which can be used ONLY with the Hsie hard-code fix first installed.
Both versions reduce greatly the continuous 'foggy storms' that blight stock SH3 owing to a bug in the original code. The bug has been fixed.
Both versions are offered as an alternative to the H.sie envsim.act, supplied with his hard-code fix, which instead stops the storms randomly.

Stiebler.

I've used two of the 3 methods Stiebler mentions - h.sie's patch with h.sie's envsim.act and h.sie's patch with Stiebler's envsim.act - and both work. I haven't tried the envsim.act dated 11/24/2011, but it doesn't require h.sie's patch and would be the easiest to install quickly. If Stiebler recommends it, it most likely works well also.

Of course, this IS the ATO. In winter months, rough seas 75% of the time might not be too inappropriate.

Good luck and good hunting!

I would have to say no. I have Stiebler's weather fix, and the most common wind speed is still 15 m/s.

Really? That differs markedly from my own experience. Are you sure you have both Stiebler's and h.sie's patches installed properly?

EDIT: Most recent patrol - started new career after installing NYGM3.6F and other mods. Use h.sie's and Stiebler's patches with h.sie's Weather Fix option active, and envsim.act dated 11/12/2014.

September-October 1939

Wilhelmshaven-OB Channel-AM23-IB North Sea-Wilhelmshaven

At sea - 40 days
On station (Grid AM) - 24 days
Wind >10 m/s - <8 days
Wind 15 m/s - 2 days

Storm conditions (wind >10 m/s, rain, low vis) Sept 12 through Sept 17. Subsided to clear, 10 m/s on Sept 18. Sept 19 into Sept 20, clear, wind 11 m/s.

IMO, reasonable weather for early Fall in the Northwest Approaches.

Could there be variation in how the fix works in different systems? I have had many days of exactly the same weather, and am now trying to implement a weather that would change a little bit every four - eight hours.

Zosimus · 02-05-15, 12:59 PM

Well, I can't guarantee that it's correctly installed. All I can say is I put it in and activated it with JSGME. It's not uncommon to go a week or more with 15 m/s weather, then it will drop to 4 m/s and in another day it will be back to 15 m/s for another week or three.

I just spend most of my time under water and pop up for a bit of air before going down again. Long days of horrible weather off the coast of Spain.

........does GWX 3.0 address these(this) problems too?

h.sie's and Stiebler's patches can be used with GWX3.0.

CDM · 02-05-15, 07:24 PM

My bad.

What I meant was do I need these patches if I get GWX 3.0

To use the deck gun in any weather, open the sub type .cfg file, locate the line for Storm Conditions. Change Storm Conditions=7,0.1; to =30,30.1 to allow use of deck gun in any weather conditions. This also allows the flak guns to be used as well. Not very realistic, but it works.

c:/ProgramFiles/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Data/Submarine/NSS_Uboat7b.cfg

default:
StormConditions=7,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

changed to:
StormConditions=30,30.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

Im using h.sie weather fix patch and no problem with weather. Sometimes it changes 8 times through 24 hrs because, weather conditions update after 3 hours. Try it.
