The reason the 'RealWeatherFix' mod is no longer available from the NYGM/Teddy-Bar website is that unfortunately use of it on what was then the latest variant of GWX broke the scenes.dat file and caused some unfortunates to lose their current career patrol. (It had been tested on an earlier version of GWX).
Obviously I had to withdraw the program after this problem, although subsequently I provided a tested, safe variant to the GW development team for private use only, so that it could be added to all later versions of GWX. However, the RWF program was never made publicly available again, in case it broke some other unforeseen mod.
Robert Fulton: you say that you are new to SH3, so I presume you are playing with stock SH3. Instead of messing around with a series of unrelated mods, I suggest you adopt this strategy:
1. Complete one career with stock (unmodded) SH3 so that you know just what you are getting with the unmodded program.
2. Then try all of the top supermods (NYGM3 - naturally, since I am one of the team; GWX3 - certainly the most popular supermod on this forum; or War Ace - with its own distinctive features). Give each several patrols, one each in (say) 1940, 1942 and 1944, so you get the full flavour. You can install several supermods separately by making multiple installs of the original SH3 game (preferably on different partitions of your hard-drive).
By using a supermod, all the work of integrating various small mods is done for you.
Good luck, anyway.
Stiebler.
