I recommend any changes made be done with a Save file while in Home port before a new patrol.

Good Hunting,

Yeah I'm abandoning my current patrol now so I can try out the mod. Went down to the mediterranean & gibraltar area and experienced nothing but storm for about 10 days straight. Not only that but the storm started after I left the bay of biscay so it was really about 20 days. Heavy fog, 15+ m/s winds, and heavy rain (even though nav officer says precipitations NONE). Literally unplayable.

What's hilarious now is that whenever I load a game where I'm underwater my boat thinks I'm surfaced and there are men on the bridge. Never had this happen before until this little mod. Used to have this happen in SH4 all the time too!

If you're saying you make saves while submerged, that is sure to cause problems in SH3. I'm surprised it even loads.

You may wish to try this tweak to help with your weather :

The maximum values for both counters (default: 5 and 3) can be adjusted in the hsie.ini file. So if you want better weather with less storm and fog, reduce these values to 4 and 2 (or even 3 and 1).

Good hunting,
FUBAR295

Been playing the same vanilla career off and on for about 5 years now and I've had no problems loading saved games where my boat is under water.

You're lucky; that's not the norm. Would be nice to have. <g>
