Glad you like it! :D I use it in just about every game I have, lets you get a nice collection of screenshots without problem.

I get up this morning....heavy fog, raining, wind speed at 7 m/s. Most often I only see the immidiate weather change when coming out of TC, but this happened at 1x. Except I didn't get to see it. :cry:

Any of you guys ever see an extreme weather change, or any weather change at all at 1x in the game? How does it develop? I'm irked I didn't get to see this....I'm thinking it might have been kinda cool to watch.:hmm:
try to record it with fraps when you go to sleep :up:

I'm about to release a new update to the SHIV scene.dat file (8k only) with the following fixes/improvements::yep:
1) Sun glare at sunrise & sunset. (done)
2) Wave heights at various states. (done)
3) Storm with no clouds. (working on it, looking good, tests over 8 hours so far 100%)
Previous version fixes:
Sky vortex
Moon reflection

Very cool, I like the horizon most, it looks very real and ships are not suspended in the air anymore. Only suggestion is about reflection. I don't know how this affects clouds reflection but ships need a lot more ripple. You can find a perfect reflection in the stormy weather (I know this is a game bug but we need to be flexible somehow). Gut gemacht!

That's ok I will add this to the list, I know exactly where to change it, previous versions had more ripple in the reflection but then others were saying they prefer the mirror image, Can't win,:roll: I will do 2 versions!:up:

Wow that screenshot is looking awesome. Its that good I've just un-installed the GWX 16km visibility, your 16km stay alert fix and installed your 8km stay alert fix in anticipation...

I kinda agree with Hadrys too. Super-reflective water is very pretty but not realistic. IMHO the water should only be that reflective in the calmest conditions, if that is possible

I've seen a major weather change once or twice. The last I remember is going from overcast, high wind and seas to calm and clear. The waves seemed to take very small step changes, while the clouds thinned out and passed like a front. I'm probably not describing it very well, but it looked pretty realistic. I've also had rain either start and intensify of slowly diminish and stop.

Another time, in North Sea (GWX). Light seas. A ship was approaching. Went to PD. As the scope went up, it showed a cloud bank. Within 10 minutes the sea was too choppy yo surface and use the deck gun. I've tried many times to watch weather change, no luck when I try :cry:
Well living in the south pacific I know that a weather change can happen within minuets. One minuet its sunny and no wind..next its over-cast and the trade winds are screaming at you. Not sure about how the North Atlantic is.

It can be as equally inconsiderate and unforgiving :yep:

Sorry, just the terse nature of the message reminded me of a sea story. On topic, I sailed into a squall once too. It was very cool.

The same, but with added cold-effects.
