4100= refers to maximum
4101= refers to ~ 70%
4102= refers to ~ 30%
4103= refers to fog conditions.

Depending on your atmosphere mod, you can add the visual distance to be reported by your WO. The night conditions may be reduced, but your WO is not flexible here.

I have modified these entries, as the following few dealing with weather, to make the WO report in natural (German) language.

The report starts with a condition from 4110 to 4112 - for the clouds.

4112= Completely overcast, Herr Kaleun!

followed by the percipitation in 4120 to 4122

4121= It's raining and

followed by the visual conditions 4100 to 4103

4103= we are in heavy fog. Maybe 800 meters sight. Shall we dive, Herr Kaleun?

followed by the 4128 entry

4128=Clouds %s, Precipitation %s, Visibility %s|Wind Speed %d meters per second, direction %3d.

Here you have to keep the %s %s %s, as it controls the given sequence of the entries above, but delete the Clouds/Perception/Visibility to have the natural replacement of the WO enabled.

The gaps and commata will show (if you keep them) and you have to formulate/formate your report accordingly. A direct %s%s%s is possible, if you want to report all kind of semantic combinations and grammar options correctly.

An “invisible letter” - a visual enforced gap - is achieved by ALT+0160 (numbers on the NumPad!) in your text.

The | starts a new line in the message window.

The sequence %d and %3d is fix, but you can wrap any text around.

Wind choppy, with %d m/s, from %3d most of the time.|The radio reports a stormfront from the north.


I have modded a SH3 Commander file (in German) to change the text of the report every month. I used the no percipitation line 4120 to report temperature and air pressure, but of course it stays constant with every report, as long as there is no percipitation.

But in december I may have a light snowfall and only 4° Celsius, while in summer my barometer has risen to 1024 bar and it's raining cats and dogs.

A wild mix of reports is possible.

Blue skies and clear air, Herr Kaleun. The barometer shows 1021 bar and we have 21° Celsius. The sight conditions are excellent, at least 14 000 meters to the horizon. Windspeed about 6 meters, changing directions, most 122. We have a light swell from south-east.

The weather report as ordered: high cummulus cirrus, 4/10. The thermometer is still out of order, the barometer reads 1015 bar. Pretty much moist over the horizon, Herr Kaleun! Reduced visibility - maybe 9 000 meters. Wind 6 from 244.

I'm pretty sure, most of the explanation is not necessary for you. But someone else may find it helpful.

EDIT: I had to chose a smaller message font, to have the report displayed completely.
