GWX2 - RealWeatherFix Mod

Choronzon · 02-09-08, 08:12 PM

I'm just added this mod to GWX 2.0 and I'm seeing this:

These shots were taken about halfway between Bergen and Scapa Flow at noon. Oddly enough, the nighttime sky seems to be normal.

That's unusual, this problem can happen with mixing up 16k & 8k atmosphere's and or Scene.dat. I had an issue with the installation of this mod so I restored my old files & redone the mod, now it works fine, not to say this has happened with yours but you could give it a go, also did you start a new patrol, always advisable with any new mod installed.

I tested it several times by restarting the patrol and the results are reproduced every time. I do use the 16k atmosphere mod, so that my be the culprit. I just restarted the patrol again without the WeatherFix and the sky is normal. I'll have to test it again with the WeatherFix but no 16k and see what happens...

GWX2 - Well, I have not done any scientific testing. On the other hand, I can clearly see a difference. The weather seems to be changing much more frequently and it isn't 15m/sec wind and rain all the time either. A really appreciated improvment. Thanks!

Problem solved!

I narrowed it down to a conflict with the 16km atmosphere mod which also mods the scene.dat file. Much thanks to Reece for pointing me in the right direction!

To fix it, I created a second JSGME folder called 16km RealWeatherFix and copied the necessary files into it except for the scene.dat file. Instead, I copied scene.dat from the 16km Atmosphere mod folder. After running the RealWeather .exe on this folder, I now have 16km atmosphere and RealWeather.

After renaming my original attempt to 8km RealWeatherFix, I now have RealWeather for either atmosphere.

Is there a conflict with RealWeatherFix and the GWX 2.0 native 16Km visibility?

I'd like to try out this mod as I'm having horrid weather non stop. I'm following the readme but I can't find the scene.dat. I found a scene, scene.sim, and scene.dsd files but no scene.dat. Can anyone help me?

Also what does it mean by "Tidy up the new entries"?
