Two Minor Glitches

Kip Chiakopf · 05-02-15, 06:08 AM

I'm running a Type IXB in late 1940 in GWX 3.0. I notice there are two "bugs."

One is the indicator lights above the engine indicators in the control room never light.

Two, the navigator often reports no precipitation when on the bridge it's pouring cats and dogs.

Has anyone else run into these glitches and have some ideas about how to fix them?

I've never noticed the engine lights problem, but probably because I wasn't paying attention.

The rain bug is a very old one. There might be a solution but I'm not aware of it.

Sorry, my only real answer is to do what I do and ignore them.

I'm with Sailor Steve (my own name is also Steve!)

I just ignore those odd visual artifacts.

I think sometimes the weather desynchronizes with multiple uses of time compression. After a bit of normal running, it smooths itself out and the watch officer reports the correct prevailing conditions again.

I get this in SH4; I guess it's a universal problem.
