She-Wolf,
My weather modifications aren't really a mod, just a couple of changes in three of the game's text files. To find what needs to be replaced, go to your SilentHunterIII/data/Campaigns/Campaign folder. In that folder, you will find three files: Campaign_LND.mis, Campaign_RND.mis, and Campaign_SCR.mis At the top of each of these files, you will find the following:

[Mission]
Title=GWXR1.02FULL
MissionType=0
MissionDataType=1
Year=1939
Month=1
Day=1
Hour=12
Minute=0
Fog=1
FogRand=1
Clouds=1
CloudsRand=2
Precip=1
PrecipRand=1
WindHeading=0
WindSpeed=4.000000
WindRand=2
WeatherRndInterval=3

SeaType=0
Briefing=

Find the part highlighted in red and replace the numbers you see in your file with the numbers I have shown here. Remember to do this with all three of your Campaign files for these changes to work. Note you do not have to be in port in order to make these changes.

Keep in mind that the most important parameter is the WeatherRndInterval. Although the game allows you to set this number to anything between 1 and 72, setting it to between 2-4 gives the best results, IMHO. I think the game default is 12! Please note that a lower WeatherRndInterval number translates into more frequent changes in cloud cover, fog, percipitation, windspeed and wind direction, or all at the same time! Feel free to tinker with this number to your own personal taste.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other problems.
