Is Lightning Fixed?

Archie · 02-09-08, 06:08 AM

I have not seen it in my career patrols, but I just loaded up a single mission to look at swdw's new sub ride height mod, and as I was admiring the outside view in a stormy sea, there it was, real lightning strikes followed by suitably loud thunder claps. I am running TM 1.7.6 with ROW additions and RSRDC Phase III. I thought lightning was still to be fixed, but maybe I missed something, anyway, its there, and I'm happy

For some

reason, it only works in single missions. It won't work in the career mode. Dave fought like Hades to get it to work in career mode, but was never able to.

I did see it in a storm when I was testing the new pacific enviroments in a campaign!, but just shortly, then it started to rain and the lightning stopped, strange... :hmm: Dave did alot to make it work, but something is blocking it from appearing in the campaign.

That seems very realistic to me.

At least where I live, thunderstorms first display the usual lightning&thunder coming up....then, when the storm is overhead, big raindrops (or hail) slowly start to fall, 1 here, 1 there....then suddenly, the rain starts pouring down, and this is usually an indication, that the actual storm-centre has already passed overhead, and that the rain is just the aftermath.
