Is there a way to get regular weather updates in GWX3?

[Sag75]

I don't know, in my Command_en file there is this lane:

[Cmd261]
Name=Report_weather
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250006
Key0=0x57,Cc,"W"


so if you press Ctrl+W you get weather report.

Interesting. My stock install has this:

[Cmd261]
Name=Report_weather
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250006

without the line that I'm assuming maps it to Ctrl+W. My GWX3 install has exactly the same. I'm pretty sure the only mod I have enabled with GWX that might have taken it out of the original GWX3 Commands_en.cfg is Integrated Orders but it seems odd that the IO mod would take out a command that was in the GWX3 install.

Maybe it did, lol. It's never occurred to me to check the weather when I'm submerged because I didn't think the game would have an option for it.

@Paul - adding that fifth line Key0=0x57,Cc,"W" might get you your weather updates, then, but I'd let the more experienced tweakers chime in on it first. At any rate, goes without saying - if you try it, BACK UP the cfg file or write down what you changed and where so you can change it back if it screws something up!

Thanks for the replies.
I think that the movement of the UBoat just under the surface is a FAIRLY reliable way to determine the sea conditions,and yes...this USUALLY indicates poorer visibility too,but not always.
I will wait for something more concrete to develop,mod/tweak wise
