Actually, it's quite possible to "hack" the message file (just make the changes to the file "...\SilentHunterIII\data\Menu\de_menu.txt" (or the corresponding English language version) - I've done that before to fix the incorrect speed messages so they correspond with the engine telegraph settings.
In line 4128 of that file (the German one), you could replace "nebel" (fog) with "Sichtbehinderung" (visibility impairment/obstruction).
I haven't had a chance to test this, but it seems like it should work - I'll go give it a whirl and see what happens.
[edit] just tried it - works great

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that. Right now I'm having one of my 'need to play other games for a while'-cases, but I should be back in business when I get tired of Stronghold 2... :P
Anyway, the messages would have to be 'reversed' as well, so the entries
4120=None
4121=Medium
4122=Heavy
4128=Clouds %s, Precipitations %s, Fog %s|Wind Speed %d meters per second, direction %3d.
Should be changed to
4120=Unlimited
4121=Medium
4122=Poor
4128=Clouds %s, Precipitations %s, Visibility %s|Wind Speed %d meters per second, direction %3d.
..or something similar, for those who'd like to try.
Any suggestions for German replacements for the visibility factors?
Thanks again for the tip!
