Thanks for the info Jan. I'm useing RFB which has Kriller's and Clear's environment mod included. Not sure of the values they set, and I don't plan on screwing with them. I'll take it as it comes I guess.

The weather DID clear though. On my return voyage to base.

I have not encountered the problem of unchanging weather at all as you describe it. Using 1.5 w/ TMO 1.9.

Same here except I went from S. Austrailia to N. Japan. The whole way there was nothing but fog and rain. I missed ALOT of good targets, because in order to get them in my sights, I need to get so close that my torps are useless...

I'm running RFB and a pile of additional mods. Seems to me that the very first patrol of a campaign has clear skies, excellent visibility and zero wind for the entire patrol, however long it lasts. At least it did...

I just started a campaign, got sunk a few days later, and instead of starting a new campaign I reused the same Autosave on Leaving Base. Lo and behold, wonder of wonders, my weather changes now.

So I'm thinking if you have this same issue with the weather on the first patrol, just reloading that autosave may be a cheap and effective fix.

Don't forget that you may just happened to run into a solid month of good weather, which, as I understand it, is not uncommon in the pacific.

Hey Sailor Steve, you're the one to know such a thing. Is that correct?

I'm not Sailor Steve but he and I were both on a DD Gearing class ( Mine is my sig. ). I was stationed mostly off Key West in the 50's on the USS Sarsfield EDD 837 and 50 to 100 miles off Fla. some times it would rain for a week straight then wham three weeks burning sunshine. I've heard from some of the ole salts aboard that they have seen longer periods of rough and nice weather when they were on patrols on the Sarsfield 3/4 years before near Japan about 1949/50.

So yes expect what you play as the Dev's pretty well hit the weather about right.

Well, I was in the Pacific (Manila, Taiwan, Bankok, lovely Vietnam) in the spring of 1970 and saw almost nothing but beautiful skies, even when we hit some major heavy seas on the way home. Saw a waterspout once. I don't think it rained more than two or three times in four months, but I wasn't there during monsoon season.

Thanks you both for the pro info.

"Yup?" said the ship. "Do what I do." The ship thought about this for a few milliseconds and then, after double checking all the seals on its heavy duty bulkheads, it began slowly, inexorably, in the hazy blaze of its lights, to sink to the lowest depths.
