By the way: I must disappoint those (e.g. Hitman) who wanted me to program an enhanced weather modelling. Even this "simple" fix consists of about 70 lines of assembler and I fear to lose overview when I make deeper changes.

Oh don't worry, you have done already a huge task in opening the way
may be someone else will pick it from where you leave it in the future, and we already have a GREAT fix
I haven't been able to do much testing, but I loaded it between saves on a 1942 Drumbeat patrol to the US east coast where I had been already sitting for a week in stormy weather, and after reloading and giving it some time, the weather kicked back to something reasonable. I noticed that in general winds tend to stay higher (>5 m/s and not yet seen 0 m/s) which is a great thing, as you would only rarely see that at Sea except in the tropics on certain seasons.
This has been a tremedous mod for SH3, as it has given us the chance to really play the game as intended -with varied weather- instead of having to do forced fixes like blocking fog at all and reducing waves size.

I have observed only ONE 6-day foggy-storm in about six game-months of patrols.
I would call that good - it would be very boring to have no week-long storms at all.

Agree! The important thing is that now you can hope realistically for the weather to improve somewhen, instead of having to go like "Sigh ... finally stuck in bad weather again"
