New Version Bad Weather Fix V1.1 BETA avaliable.

Fixed a little bug which caused the weather change time counter to still start at 0 instead of an randomly chosen time. Thanks to avee for reporting.

@Stiebler: I just sent you the commented sources for V1.1 Beta, in case you want to add some advanced weather model or make any individual changes for NYGM.....

Ah but in multiplayer there is no time compression and games last about 1-3
hours, typically about 1.5 hours (at least for me they do. Well OK for me they are often quite a bit shorter than that :dead:)

Many thanks h.sie for the new Version !!! :yeah: I´ll give it a try....:yep:

Hello h.sie !

I play with the Fix v1.1 Beta my Career savegame now 4 weeks (ingame-time) without saving and I must say, the weather change intervall are very good ! :up:

But I´ve questions: In this 4 weeks Ingame-time play the lowest windspeed was 7m/s, never under this. I mean, I´ve never windspeed from 0 to 6 m/s !

Is 7m/s the lowest windspeed with your fix ? Or can I have also windspeed from 0 to 6 m/s with your fix?

Best regards,
Magic

Hi Magic,

most of the time my fix does nothing more than watching the weather and it only is active when bad weather is too long. so your issue is not related to my fix. there are areas in the sh3-world where windspeed is restricted to 7m/s and above. try a different area and you'll see lower windspeeds.

h.sie

Aaah, okay, I understand ! Many thanks for Reply ! :salute:

Best regards,
Magic

P.S. My Patrol Area was around the "Dänemark-Straße" !

@Magic1111:

The Devs set a minimum windspeed for the Arctic (including Denmark Strait) and Antarctic sea areas of 7 m/s.

Also, note that weather in these areas is updated only every 2 days or more, depending on latitude. The wind direction is the weather item updated most noticeably on the screen. As long as this remains fixed, you can be sure that nothing else is changing either.

Stiebler.

Many thanks Stiebler for explain:up:, now ALL is cleared ! ;)

In SH3 there are three types of water, Mediterranean, Artic, and Atlantic
but the game don´t switch from one type to another unless you change it in the config files.

could it be fixed ?? :hmmm:

@Hartmann: All can be done in principle. The question is if it's worth the effort, because, as you said, colours can be changed in cfg-files. This takes 1 second for you to activate via JSGME, but will take weeks for me to fix. so I concentrate mainly on issues that are essential, halfway easy to fix and cannot be fixed in a different way.

Don´t worry h.sie

continue your great work in true important things that are difficult to fix :up:

Excellent effort, h.sie! :rock: I will try this out as soon as I finish my current patrol.

Currently I shadow a convoy in 15 m/s wind, heavy fog, heavy rain conditions (visibility around 300ms) for 24 hours without real hope that the weather improves a bit for giving me a chance to conduct an attack before the convoy reaches shallow water in around 36 hours...

Hopefully with your fix that won't be an issue again and at least there will be hope for better weather after a couple of days of storms.

"Keep up the good work!" :salute:

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed:
Can make with strong and medium fog
wind speed decreased, not only to the 6-7 m / s, but below, to 5-3 and up to scratch?
Or tell me where I can find the settings for these options

Sorry, but I don't understand what you are asking for (non-native english). Could you please explain in detail what's your problem / question.

Greetings, h.sie

OK, For me, English is also not a native.
In SH3 during a heavy fog, and medium fog the average wind speed falls below 7 - 6 m / sec.
Is it possible in this case, the lower wind speed of 3 - 5 m / s? Or to zero?
Thank's
