Hard choice between GWX3 and Manos, but in the end I voted for GWX3.

I think many are hoping your own ideas will produce results that are a happy medium that gives one the "feel" of night without the game-killing darkness of true night or the glaring horizon that makes one feel as if they're on some eternal dawn patrol.

To be honest my plan is to tweak exclusively which of the different original weather patterns in those files will be available, i.e. I do not intend to modify anything from the work of the authors except dividing in several alternative files what is currently in only one. Meaning you will just be able to choose via JGSME or may be SH3 Commander (Must look at that) the weather pattern (Fair/Moderate/Rough) that better suits the grid and season you are patrolling in so you can have a realistic weather for it.

The purpose of the idea is to prevent f.e. the Atlantic from being sunny and with calm water south of Reikjavik in January, or the Caribbean seeing frequent choppy weather and storms, etc. BUT respecting in all the rest the author's idea about his environment mod.

use MEP with Reece's scene.dat from sh4 16km Atmosphere for sh3.

Does that incorporate the Horizon fix by OLC?

Reece has found a solution for Horizon bug in his own scene.dat. It works very well for me. See the picture in biggest size, horizont is almost perfect. I changue env and misc folders often looking for the best result.
Your idea about enable via SHCommander is excellent. Clouds, water and weather will changue according to time, place or season.

GWX 3.0 Gold stock 8km. Night is dark but not gamekilling dark.

I found that the night horizon bug is controlled with the first image in the sky_atl.tga within the skycolors_xx.dat files. As with the 4th image in the specular.tga can control sunset and sunrise (which i coloured to give a more orange sunrise/sunset on across the water!

hope this helps
