Weather. Does GWX2 improve it?

Sorry for my ignorance but does the GWX mod improve weather in SH3?

Weather is unfortunately a stock issue. The Weather Mod in the downloads section here can give you SOME control over it but from what I understand, there are minor issues with that as well.

Weather.....

It's a shame but Blacklight is right.

I've used the weather mod in 1.03 and although it's not perfect it does force more varied weather, you'll no longer be stuck in a zero visibility storm for weeks on end so it's well worth it.

Hasn't been tested with 2.0 yet though..

Ahhh.. don't you love it when you're stuck in those roller coaster sized waves and sideways rain for a month

? After some of the storms I've been through in this game, I've had times where I expected to return to base only to find no land and just open water covering the continent.

I raided Loch Ewe and find that half of the ships in dock capsized and sunk due to the weather, including a hospital ship

I tried downloading the weather mod, but it wouldnt install. I let it search for my install path for about 20 minutes to no success. In other words, I'm stuck with the month long hurricane force winds

Just keep a look out for a huge wooden ship full of animals and have your torpedoes ready. I hear there's a LOT of tonnage to be had from that sucker !
