Default SH3 Weather Problem

So I have been having a problem with SH3 Weather that it seems to not want to
update the files at the start of the patrol. What I mean is I have a problem with it getting the weather. Lately it just doesnt work, I click heavy rain and heavy fog in calm seas (Which I have had work before) and I start the patrol, clear and unlimited visibility. This is really grinding my gears, any help guys??

You may have something conflicting (modwise) with it in your installation.

Disable all mods and add one at a time until you identify which one is causing the conflict.

PITA I know but probably the only way forward.

That's odd, since like Commander SH3 Weather is an external tool. I always start SH3 with Commander, and Weather comes up automatically as part of the loading process.

Is that the way it works for you?

Yes, unless im in mid patrol already (Then it bypasses Sh3 weather and puts me in the weather I was in when I saved.) It worked fine up until awhile ago, as youve probably read Ive had to do my share of uninstalling and re installing mods, commander and such to fix things like; No explosions underwater, commander not working right (Which your almost brand new ships list fixed, thank you Steve ), etc etc. The funny thing is, is right before I got it to work fine. I think I know what the problem is though, I believe I may have (when I reinstalled the game itself and GWX 3) just deleted the application (Instead of finding the uninstall button) of Sh3 weather. In cases before (With games per say) This makes hoodwinks the files somehow so that when I go to re install, it says its already there, but its not. Ill try and trouble shoot, I dont think its any of the mods Im running because Im not running anything different at all. And it happened Before I applied your new ships list. hmmm.....

Reece has a mod "Stop the Rain" which solves this problem.

He doesn't want to "Stop the Rain", he wants to have rain at the very start of the patrol, which is what SH3 Weather is supposed to do.
