SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Watch Officer Says Overcast, Foggy -- but I See Clear Skies

I have never seen this before....

I am cruising in foul weather: 10 m/s winds, heavy rain, overcast, limited visibility. Or, so says my watch officer.

But when I go on deck, it is a cloudless, day. Sun beaming. Yes, there is rain falling out of the clear blue sky, but I can clearly see the coast of Scotland 12 km away.

I can also see the coastal tanker 1200 m astern, but my watch crew doesn't (though they did when it was at 400m).

Has anyone seen this? Something must be messing around with the environment controls, but I cannot guess what.

I am running GWX 3.0... the only recently added mods are Longer Repair Times 2.04, Das Boot Clothes, Torpedo Damage Final ver2.0, and GWX - Rafael Disk GUI.

I know I can return to base and just start pulling mods until it clears up, but if anyone has a better idea about this, I would appreciate hearing it.

[EDIT: I have a coal tender at 9700m... which I can see clearly with the naked eye, even in these conditions.]
