On a similar topic: In SH3, has anyone ever actually seen the arctic skies???
I, for one, have never seen it. I have sailed to the arctic before, but the skies always look exactly like the atlantic. That leads me to believe that SH3 does not actively model the arctic sky. In the 'Env' folder, there are settings for the actic, but I don't think SH3 calls upon them.
Upon further investigation, I used notepad to view the single missions and found out that each of them have pre-determined sea settings. It turns out that all of them (with the exception of Malta, which uses the medit. sea settings) use atlantic sky/water. This is what I have discovered:
SeaType=0 (atlantic)
SeaType=80 (mediterranean)
SeaType=??? (arctic)
I'll also bet my money that 'SeaType' is not being modelled in campaign missions. Everywhere you go, the game models the atlantic SeaType... That is a real gamebreaker for anyone who is sailing in the mediterranean, home of the 29th flotilla... MY FLOTILLA...
So to recap, how do we get all of our seas/skies (atlantic, arctic, and mediterranean)???
