tell me about it while playing last night encountered a convoy it started to rain and heavy fog couldn't hit a thing, broke off attack,weather soon cleared,encountered a second convoy,it started to rain again,had to break off again,weather cleared decided to return home, encounted 3rd convoy medium fog this time,(no escorts well couldn't see any GWX) attacked convoy half way through the attack it started to rain again

decided to do a surface attack torps/guns until a large merchant put a hole in me and I started to get flooding went down to 230m before I could stop the flooding.
Now I do like attacking in light or medium fog,i have the weather mod but i don't know if it works right I leave port in fine weather,I only seem to find something to sink in crap weather.

Apparently you missed my previous explaination... so to quote myself:

The "weather interval" for the three campaign layers should be set at no less than "2." (based on extensive testing and prior mod forum threads)

The "weather interval" should MATCH in all three campaign layers.

The "weather interval" is the frequency at which the SH3 engine examines the CHANCE for a weather change to occur.

The "weather interval" is a value based on hours. (not days)

The weather has an inherent propensity to stay the same.

If you exit the game, upon re-entering the game the "timer" is set back to zero for the engine to check for a change in the weather.

I hope this helps.

Just as soon as I finish my plans to take over the world... I will continue my work on the weather dominator machine and my death ray.

Patience! Patience!

In all seriousness, at the moment we can't fix the weather problems... but who knows what will happen tomorrow or the next day.
