i think the person to talk to would be privateer. :hmm:

but i think he will agree with what im about to type.

i know it is possible to alter the precipitation in SH3.

the problem is, SH3 wont know whether you are in the arctic ocean in the dead of winter or if you are just off the coast of Florida.

to SH3, rain is rain no matter what size or color or density you give it.

if SH3's weather engine says "make it rain", then SH3 is going to start dropping whatever you have modded it to drop. if snow is the order of the day... then it will snow, relentlessly in some cases for days on end on parts of the earth which do not ordinarily see snow - ever.

any modification you make to the weather will change globally - not locally.

and if you want to have SH3 Commander trigger the modded files, then SH3 commander would have to be changed and updated to perform this task as well.

far be it from me to say that it is impossible... because it is not impossible... far from it.

however, i think it would detract from the realism to be getting snow in the middle of the Med, or off the coast of Florida in December when at best your going to dip down into the 50s or 60s F
