I'd organised with Skweetis a while ago that at some point we'd integrate SH3Weather into SH3Cmdr. Unfortunately, Skweetis appears to have gone AWOL.

As a compromise, I am thinking of adding one line of code to SH3Cmdr that will look for the presence of SH3Weather in the SH3 folder (where SH3Weather needs to be installed). If it finds it, it runs it as the last thing prior to loading SH3.

The benefit is that you no longer need to run both apps separately. The negative (perhaps), is that you'll have a few extra mouse clicks after pressing the "Launch SH3!" button.

Of course, if you don't use SH3Weather, you won't be impacted.

So, I am curious what SH3Cmdr/SH3Weather users think of this?

BTW, if you have no idea what I am talking about, read http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=46991&highlight=

It turns out I had read this post and DL'd the latest version awhile back but never did anything with it. I thought it was a great idea back then and it's an even better idea now if it can be incorporated into Commander.
You've got my vote.

Anything that can be introduced to to the game that increases believability or that will throw a few little additional random factors into the mix is a plus in my book.

Now if we can only get 4 engine bombers to stop acting like fighter planes.

Vote "numero dos". I like the ideea.

Sounds like a great idea. Using both already, so merging is a + in my book.

[don1reed]

..likewise.

[U-Schultz]

Ditto!

Sounds good, I'd use it.

I use FSautostart. It dumps all the junk out of memory, defrags memory, starts SH3CMDR and then starts SH3Weather.
I remember a post from Skweetis to the effect that he would be busy for a while, but would return.
I would like to see the weather generator incorporated into SH3CMDR
