Aye, weather in SH3 is frustrating....
Edit: sorry for a long story, but I cant help myself..
Just last night I was on patrol, got a convoy report that was about 100km away from me, weather at this time was 4m wind speed, visibilty unlimited (well 16km)... plotted my course and hit compression.
About an hour into my intercept (not real time of course) I decided to head to the bridge as the sun was about to set and I was heading right into it (very pretty), weather was still the same but I hit 32X compression to speed up the sunset and then it just switched, heavy rain, high winds. What was odd about it was I was still looking at orange sky, it was raining cats & dogs. Behind me I couldnt see much past the stern but in front it was great visibilty despite the heavy rain.
Of course as soon as I swtiched stations and went back to the bridge is was as expected... I could barely see the bow....
I tell you thats really frustrating, I was so close yet I may as well have been a world away...
Dont know what to suggest, Ive used the weather fix mod in GWX2.1 but havent tried it in 3.0.
I thought GWX3 had a revised weather thing going? Well so far it seems to be okay, no endless 2 weeks storms but they do still last quite a while. The biggest porblem I have isnt the rain but the wave heights... which only seem to drop after Im out of eels
Sorry for the novel...
