Default Weather woes in GWX2.1

I think something might be wrong, for over a month now I have had 15ms/ overcast skies, and visibility moderate to poor and no precipitation, and that's it apart from one day I got 14ms wind. Could someone post how the relevant files should look and where I can find them so I can check them?

Simple solution is to get the OLC ubermod. Just got to the mods forum, and all your problems will be solved

So there is an issue with the weather in GWX 2.1? I've noticed the same thing. Been patroling now for three weeks with steady 15m/s winds. All that changes is the wind direction and occasionally the visibility.

There has always been an issue with the weather in SH3, but GWX 2.1 improved it a lot, by incorporating Real Weather fix mod.
The same type of weather lasts longer if you frequently save/load the game. Also, weather changes more often in summer than in the winter.

Absolutely correct.

Saved and reloaded only once because I had to go out, just had OLCE2 and Thomsen's water mod enabled but being unsure of what would happen when enabling the GWX alternative flotillas mod I disabled them for this patrol, which is why I want to check the files.

Also Thomsen is looking at the effects the mods had on my game and says there is something wrong so another reason to check the files are correct.

I had had no rain at all on that last patrol either

Unrealistic weather

I'm still plugging away in February 1940 on my little IIA ducky visiting exciting places in the North Sea with a few (a very few) hits notched up.
The current weather off the Shetlands is balmy and more like a summer cruise off the Bahamas...!!
I know from personal experience, the North Sea and Atlantic weather in winter (and other times) is generally quite dreadful. Has this been taken in to account in the game?
The other minor quibble is sunrise and sunset times. Again in the northern hemisphere (and I use winter as an example) it is at best 0900 before daylight is reasonable and by 1600 it is beginning to darken. Is it too complex to create a compromise so that some degree of reality is available?

Using SH3 3.1
GWX 2.1
OLC GUI Special 1.2.7
OLC Uber Mod 2.4.3
Plus some other cosmetic mods.

Thanks.

Harry

Hi TC brings on bad weather.

Go 256tc for 24hrs and you'll be back to good weather.
