Thanks for this reminder Fifi
what you write is also in the read me from Stiebler EnvSim.act version 10. (date 2016)
"This is the latest fix to provide more realistic weather for SH3. Since H.sie's hard-code fix also uses his own envsim.act to reduce visibility at night, it is necessary to provide two files.
Method of use:
Unzip the EnvsimAct10.7z into your MODS folder for SH3.
Observe that there two files:
1. EnvSim.act
2. Envsim_HsieFix.acx
1. If you are NOT using H.sie's famous hardware fix for SH3.
You can the mod at once. Just activate the package with J Scones' JSGME mod-installer. Alternatively, after unzipping, just copy the EnvSim.act file (only) enclosed within the mod to your folder \Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\, where it will replace the original version. (Do NOT place the file within the \DATA folder - it won't be recognised.) This can be used to replace ANY other envsim.act file that is out there.
2. If you ARE using H.sie's hardware fix.
You will need to activate the correct EnvSim file as follows:
a) Use the Options Selector provided with the H.sie V16B1 package to switch OFF H.sie's Bad Weather Fix in your SH3.exe file. Place your newly created SH3.exe file in this folder (EnvSimAct_10), where you can see the two envsim files mentioned above.
b) Rename EnvSim.act to EnvSim.acx (this means it will not be recognised by Silent Hunter III.).
c) Rename EnvSim_HsieFix.acx to EnvSim.act
d) Activate the package with JSGME as mentioned in (1). Alternatively, copy across both the new EnvSim.act file and your new SH3.exe into your folder \Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\, where it will replace the original version.
The mod that copies last is the one that is used.
This EnvSim_10 mod folder should always be the LAST mod installed with JSGME.
For example if you have Stiebler_4C_Revised hard-code package installed on top of the H.sie patch (it must always be installed after the H.sie patch), then the EnvSim_10 mod MUST follow after the Stiebler_4C_Revised mod."
