All other trys with supermods or different simact result in:

Barely one weather change in 3 or 4 or 5 days.

Always the wettderbericht shows exact the same for days and then one change if you are lucky.

And not to forget the always start with wind 4 richtung 0

Thats playing with a a bug.

No, I now everyone got used to it since the 14_b with the stocksimact has this behavior..


Now, as I said few times

It's a different world with fixed time trigger for weather and if I hadn't succeed to fix.(thx to genious stiebler)

I wounld not play a game with bugging weather.


How realistic is it to not have the slightest weather nor windchange for days

I can't even imagine me to play hitting the weather button
All ways getting same massage..
To not forget to mention the horrible monotony at bridge view
That is all passe now in my version

You folks are strange

With this stuck weather you miss the best part of the game: the atmosphere

On my way to an 47 patrol area I had 32 weather changes( not counted the winddirection)


That means 32 times different bridge view. In about 30 hours!?

Now I arrived it's rain calm and fog. Wind direction changes slightly all the time.

Periscope deapth. It's too dangerous for surface.

Soon the weather will change I guess.

.......

How long you play to get this?

Weather works fine. Sometimes it changes a lot, sometimes it doesn't. Like real life. Like I said, it gives me much more weather like I expect the North Atlantic to be; windy, stormy, etc. any time of the year (which is what skippers actually experienced, including "storms for days", even weeks) vs. the smooth as glass at times affect the other .act files do at times.


I also don't like how they force a change after a few days max. of bad weather. To me, for the North Atlantic, THAT is unrealistic.



Weather isn't stuck at all. I know different people get different results with the stock .act file; maybe ours are.

I'm pretty sure, when you copy the stiebler simactfile 2016 in stock 1_4b.

The weather is fixed on every system that can run sh3

It changes the weather. Like I said though, I don't care for the changes it does; to nice of weather, cutting storms short, etc.


My comment about the .act file acting differently for different people was referring to the stock file.

[bacchusxxx22]

Do you have winddirection change, or just once the weather changes the winddegree changes once with it.

As I said before, the simact 2016 makes the winddegree work.
That's a main reason to use it


The weather changes are smoothly, looking

No cut it goes: 7 6- 4 6 8 9 10 12 and so on...
Not 0 15 015 or similar

Only on time warp maybe that

The wind direction changes, never paid attention to how often. Doesn't really matter to me, as long as it changes now and then.

[bacchusxxx22]

Yes, I doesn't really matter, but it has to work.

Now I do it often just to check.


At patrol start. I check it.
Hit weatherbutton
Wait 3 or 4 min.


Then hit weather button again

And I get same wind but different direction.

Thats a working weather.

If after 5 min no change it's bug.

it works only with stock.

I don't have a problem if the wind direction doesn't change every few minutes.


Also don't consider it not doing so a bug.



Different strokes, etc.

It doesn't change always every two minutes.

Sometimes for hours not.

But in general it works. That's the point

It adds life to the sea and it's must-have like fixed oxygen

When it not does it at start. It will never

[John Pancoast]

Is this available anywhere ? Like to try it out.

[bacchusxxx22]

I told you already.

Copy the simact 2016 in stock 14b.
And try at mission start in harbor
Hit weatherbutton
Wait 5 min hit the weatherbutton again.
You will see slightly winddegree change.


Write me when you have it checked, ace of the deep

[bacchusxxx22]

And put in the gwx 16 km( sunfix)
+ V16b1( I have the u tanker fix and all regarding the weather off)and fog.

The options you can experiment.

It's all 100 percent stable

All works perfect

Ah, for some reason I thought it was a version you had modified. Yes, I've run this for many patrols/campaigns in GWX and NYGM with H.sie's and Stiebler's patches hence my earlier comments about it.

[bacchusxxx22]

The degree change works not with gwx30 gold.

Only in stock the simact 2016 gives proper winddegree change.
In all other I tried it does not
