Weather in GWX2.0

I play GWX2.0 and I love it , awesome MOD

Just a small thing I noticed, I played 6 patrols now: the weather is always nice at the beginning of each patrol-e.g Clouds Partial, Precipitations None, Visibility moderate, Wind 4 m/s- or very close to this weather pattern.
I would like to find a little more variety there. I used SH3 Weather with GWX1.3 but I am not sure it is compatible with GWX2.0 and even if so, am not sure it will fix this permanent, identical nice weather cycle at every d**n start of patrol

Any solution to this Kaleuns?

Just a note

SH3 weather will work on every mod, the programm working on the same metod as sh3 commander. Its not overight files its just set a parametrs to allready exist one - (i hope i was understandble English is not my mother language).

Well it doesn't work for me. First of all, thanks to unhelpful readme file, I'm not sure where to install it (it wants to point towards my own personal campaign files in my documents folder, which is where I ended up putting it). Second of all, despite saying that the SCN/RND/LND.mis files have been updated, they have not (judging by the "modified" date on this files and the fact that the weather was still the same when I ran the campaign to test it).

Can someone who has gotten SH3 Weather to work with GWX 2.0 come in here please and tell us how you did it?

I don`t know why you have problems with Sh3 weather but you need to install it in the game root folder (examp d:\silent hunter 3\)

Thats all That what i did and it works

I just D\L and loaded SH3Weather - pointing it to the GWX 2 install I wanted to use

Now I have a SH3Weather icon in the root folder
Also SH3commander recognised that it was installed and started it

I set weather for heavy rain and high seas



Which is what I got

Cool!!

And you get this weather how long? Is it permanent or temporary?

What would be nice is to have bad weather at the start of the patrol and to have different weather patterns later in the patrol:hmm:

Not sure
Started a patrol in Bergen with heavy fog as a start point
Still had it 3 days later when DC'd to death
lol

SH3Weather will change the start-up weather only; it will have no effect on any weather that develops during the patrol. I changed my SCN/RND/LND.mis files to have more varied and changeable weather during my patrols. I was sick of having 3 and 4 week terrible weather on a patrol. However, when I used SH3Weather, it reverted all my changes back to the orginal.
As a result, I don't use SH3Weather anymore.

Thats not totally true. I have changed Bad weather to a sunny day in a few min after manually setting changes in game while on patrol.

Interesting informations here, Kaleuns, I think I ll use SH3 Weather with GWX2.0 to check if it makes sense:hmm:

Wolfehunter;
How did you change the weather while on patrol? Did you use SH3Weather? Sweetis states that SH3Weather only changes the weather at the start of the patrol. When I used it, the program changed the weather intervals back to 0 in my .mis files, which is the reason that very long intervals of the same weather occur.
Won't changing the .mis files during the patrol cause CTD?

In patrol. After you accept the changes takes a few minutes to change. Very realistic. Goes from bad weather to nice slowly. You see the rain stop and then the clouds vanish. No more fog. Ya its nice. I haven't experianced any issue or bug so I've made many patrols by altering the weather without a single hitch. I always say trial and error. Thats the way you learn. I use SH3weather and nothing else to modify the climate change.
