Default Weather conditions.

Hi,
I've been somewhat disgruntled by the weather in GWX. A weather report such as Heavy Fog, Heavy Precipitation and wind 15kms is not possible. Heavy rain would disperse fog, as would a 40mph wind, gale force according to the Beaufort Scale.
I've just DL'd a weather mod program which allows the user to set the conditions, or use Random. It's good for all SH3 set ups, and pops up when SH3 Commander is used, so I'm hoping for some good results.

In RL at sea I've seen havy fog (vis approx 100 meters) and 47 knot wind. With high winds your visibility goes down quite a bit due to flying spray. I find stock SHIII and GWX weather quite realistic (just miss the sight of cumulous cloud).

Well, get an umbrella.

The weather has alway been an issue. I just put up with it. In hindsight, some patrols is clear skys for weeks. So it is a give and take situation.
