This happens if you save whilst it's raining and reload, the WO reports that it's not raining when it is bucketing down!

With regard to GWX curing the problem of persistent bad weather, it has made things a lot better with the weather changing more frequently during summer and less frequently during winter to try and reflect weather patterns. Is the weather your experiencing during winter? It is also worth noting that if yiou save during bad weather or any weather for that matter, when you reload the weather counter is reset to zero making that weather pattern hang around longer.

I just used EnvSim.act file from Stiebler3_Adon_for...
Don't know if it helps

Oh yes, it was summer time.

Great Thanks a lot, I'll try that. Once I had a weather change occurring while I was waiting for a nice big convoy with a cruiser in the middle of it. From ok visibility to very bad visibility and then no hope of finding the cruiser. That was brilliant !

That makes commander see red.

Stiebler4_Adon_for... instructions says to delete this file.

One nice thing about this weather fix is intercepting/shadowing a convoy makes sense during bad visibility.

While avoiding book keeping earlier today I managed to escape from three very persistent escorts because weather turned "bad"

i'll try the get close to a port thing and see if that helps.

this has only happened twice in my current career with GWX3. the first time the weather got stuck, it was clear skies, very little wind, and unlimited visibility for over a month, and only changed when i was on my way back to port.
weird how it just gets stuck randomly like that.

i remember shadowing a single merchant while submerged for an hour or so.
before i submerged, weather conditions were good and winds were low enough to use the deck gun.
once i got into position to attack, i blew ballast thinking i'd blast the ship with my deck gun. apparently the winds picked up from the time i submerged, and i also didn't notice the merchant was armed....ouch.
that didn't turn out too well.

Funny or at least interesting things happen if the weather changes suddenly
