No Weather Effects?

[Dutch]

I've been sitting here thinking. I've had SHIV for around 2 weeks now and I know I haven't seen any rain like effects in the game.

I've seen some high winds and such but not rain. Given I have only played till around Feb of 42 (reload campaigns for mods), so I might not have seen the rainy weather yet? Has anyone seen rain between Dec 7 41 to Feb of 42? If not then thats why I haven't seen any, if so how often?

I have an NVIDIA Gefore 7900 Go on my laptop and I have no graphic problems.

If anybody can sheed light on my idiocy it would be appreciated Thanks.

I might be sticking my unit out for ridicule by saying this, but I believe that depending upon your position, you would be in the Southern Hemisphere. If that's true, than I think February would bring with it Summer like weather. If I'm correct (and if I'm not, I'm sure I'll be corrected ) You'll get the rains later in the year.

It will come. Sometimes you time compress right though bad weather.

As a tip, when I am time compressing, I hit ctr + w ( weather report in Trigger ), if it is storming I come out of it and usually catch some nasty stuff.

Not sure what the weather report option is in other mods :hmm:

When you get the rain you'll post here asking how to make it go away.

If you want to see rain, go play SH3

I just fired it up again to regain some skills before GWX2, and of course got one of those month long world-wide storms right on the first patrol.

If you have no weather report in your SH4 Sim do this:

Go into Data/Cfg/Commands.cfg file with notepad

Find the Cmd261 line

[Cmd261]
Name=Report_weather
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250006
Key0=0x57,c,"ctrl+w"
;


Last night I was in the "Celebes Sea" ( 1st week of Jan. 1942 ) late at night I was in a very violent storm with rain coming down in torrents with a Japanese freighter off to my port side about 800 feet and nothing I could do about it. I'm sure the Japanese Captain was very happy.

Is this for the Stock SH4 (and/or RSRDC Mod) or for TM? What does this cfg change do? I mean, will I have to hit CTRL-W to see reports, or wil they appear automatically/periodically?
