gwx: visability & weather questions.

kaptain klank · 04-06-07, 10:18 AM

i just switched over from gw 1.1 (was finishing a long career).

anyway, i thought i read in the manual that the visabilty for clear weather was 16k.

well, i'm on patrol now with currently no precip. & no fog with light wind and the farthest i can spot a shop is about 8400 for the smoke & 8000 to actually see the ship.

i'm not talking about my lookouts, i'm talking about me...on the bridge.

what gives?

also should i be using the random weather mod like i did with gw 1.1?

thanks.

Two questions:

-Did you enable the 16 km mod?

-Do you use the binocculars? (That's a dumb question, but one never knows)

If both answers are "yes" I don't have a clue, I can usually see ships at around 14 km, depending on their size.

i guess i didn't enable the mod....

never saw where to enable it.

how would i go about enableing it?

yes, i am using binoculars.

Enabling of optional mods (the 16 km mod is only one of them) is explained in the GWX manual, under "Getting Started", on page 7, or so.

or easier
you go into the SHIII main folder
find the JSGME
open up JSGME
enable 16 km view

weather, if i want random weather should i be using the random weather mod or is it included in gwx?

If I remember correctly it only shows in English at certain zoom levels. I've forgotten if its when its zoomed in or zoomed out, however.
