Weather Algorithm

[CaptBligh]

Guys, I'm not going to beat about the bush.  Your weather algorithm sucks.  Storms that stay for days are just not realistic for the region.  This morning we had a storm that continued for over 4 game days and didn't move.  I know because I had to heave to as I had literally zero viz.  Trying to find white crosses was impossible.  after two hours or so I logged and went to mow my yard.  Came back after about an hour and a half, login in, sail east for about 10 minutes or so and bam, another storm, zero viz.  We would all like to see heavy seas etc but storms move you know?  They rarely sit still for days on end.

 

Please get it sorted out, it is ruining the game for many.

 

Thanks.

The storms actually move and you can follow them. The big ones with lightning and all can be seen coming.

 

I think everyone has felt that storm pain.

Only problem Ive had with the weather patterns is that in the Caribbean storms last a max 30 minutes unless its a hurricane.

Yeah, shorter storms would be nice.

10mins game time would be fine

And then the storms shall be in battles, too.
