GWX ,serious problem with weather

[lionn77]

All I can see is cloudless clear sky at any gwx version regardless of how much cloudy it is supposed to be. Stock sh3 1.4b works perfectly for me, beautiful clouds all over the sky.. I have tried to copy original stock sh3 nori files and no result. Any solution to my problem?

All best and happy new year!

I just took GWX 3,0 out for a spin for the first time last night, and the weather has been working perfectly for me - I've seen all sorts of cloud, wind and sea conditions (no rain yet, but a little lightning off on the horizon) in the week or so of game time that it's taken to get my little Type IIA from Kiel to my patrol grid off Aberdeen in August '39. Maybe more detail about exactly what Mods you're running or your PC specs or something might help folks try to troubleshoot the problem for you.

Really liking what I've seen so far of 3.0 BTW - great job (again) GWX Team !!!

Im not having any issues with the GWX 3.0 weather system. More than likely is a mod.

Haven't seen you for a while! Knowing your interest in user-editable patrol logs, did you ever see this... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=133102 ??

Highly recommend that you ditch your 2.1 install and try out the new 3.0 version of GWX - from what I've seen in just the last day or so, and from reading the absolutely massive 3.0 manual, you won't regret it, and it does seem that they've solved the weather problems, at least from my limited exposure to it. I'm running GWX 3.0 with the following "optional" GWX mods (included in the 3.0 package), and the weather has been great so far:

GWX - 16km Atmosphere
GWX - Alternative Flotillas
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX - No Medals on Crew
GWX - Open Hatch Mod
GWX - Integrated Orders
GWX - Merged Campaign

Sorry but, live with it. It wasn't all sunny days.

If you've Das Boot or read Iron Coffins or simular books the weather was mostly crap.

Especially in the North Atlantic and North Sea.

Awesome - I had missed that one - got distracted by the PTO (SH4) for a while, but have been away from both SH3 and 4 for most of the year due to various RL issues. Can't believe you remembered my interest in the log thing - guess I pestered enough folks about it back in the day to make an impression after all

Can't wait to scan that thread and see what came of the idea - saw that GWX 3.0 had been released while I was out of town for the Holidays, and it's gotten me fired up to try out the ATO again, but I saw that the SH3 Commander-related files for GWX 3.0 weren't out yet so I'm just tinkering around with it till those files are released. I can't imagine really playing SH3 without SH3 Commander, any more than I would try it without JSGME. Great to see you're still involved over here - thanks for the tip about the thread above

I had this exact problem while beta testing. you would see rain falling, and hear the sound of thunder... only problem is that its a beautiful clear blue sky

The problem turned out to be that i had not fully uninstalled ALL of the SH3 files from my previous install.

GWX 3.0 has to be installed over a version of SH3 that is completely and totally "brand new" to the system...

my only recommendation would be to completely uninstall EVERY file and folder that has ANYTHING to do with SH3 from your computer and then...

1. Install SH3
2. Patch to 1.4b
3. install GWX3.0

almost every problem with GWX of this sort can be attributed to an incomplete or improper removal/reinstall of SH3.

good luck

EDIT

IF YOU ARE USING VISTA - - - there are additional uninstall / reinstall steps that are different than simply clicking "uninstall".

I'm with Privateer. High TC will bring on bad weather in 24 hrs.

I don't think it has anything to do with GWX or mods.

I tested useing SH-3 stock with patch 1.4

Above 512 tc for 24 hrs on came the storm with rain more often than not. 1024 tc it was a certainty.

...havnt had SH3 problems but agree with other posters about "vista" if your running on this OS it can take a few installs to get it right...Ive just done 3 to get the whole sim down whole....

This is probably the next best step doing a uninstall and fresh reload...a hassle but thats SH3...

So if I do 1024 TC but drop out for 1 min say, then back to 1024....will that keep the weather operating as intended by GWX 3??

I totally Agree,But with Vista?
Delete all Compatible Files too,
Vista makes compatible files on all Games,
Best to get rid of them,
Then Run The GWX 3.0 exe As Administrator
over your Clean SH3 1.4,
Vista Users Only need to do the Above.
