    Well, the only routes affected are Clinchfield and the two steam routes. Everything else is post-1980

    Winzarten, it would be nice if the app carried a version number somewhere in the UI

    Also, I don't quite understand the "get TSW weather" function. It seems that as soon as a route loads, the app immediately sets it to whatever the live or historic weather is, so the button is just recursing the app weather, not recovering the TSW set weather (this is important for scenarios, which usually have scripted weather)

    Winzarten I am sorry to be such a needy lady, but I have now been able to install the app but do not know where to go from here. I have opened TSW 6 in 2 different routes but see nothing of your app, only my normal God Mode weather.

    did you set the weather at custom all setting to clear
    the weather app if loaded should change it

    and i see we are at a new version again :)

    Yes, on the Riveria which I ran last. It stayed clear, no clouds. Now for all I know that was the correct weather there, though its dark there now. I have the streaming cams from CoastCams.com, Dawlish.
    Guess my next question is if I am running today's date, which I usually do, but 6 hours earlier than local, does it still work?
    Guess I should also note, I went through the installer for the app, so its there, just don't know how a access it.

    It is a standalone app, it needs to be running in the background. It interacts with TSW via the API DTG provides. ;)

    Its only use-case is really just if you're in manual mode, moved the sliders, and wanted to restore them to TSW state.

    Not that I can see anywhere. I have the proper start up options in Steam. I think I found the problem, I did not have .net installed. I actually found the app and when I clicked on it it told me it needed .net, which I have now installed. I how have the app. Also got the update information. Will give all this a try tomorrow.

    Looks you're good to go, as you're on steam the app should automatically pick up TSW once you run it.

    Thank you so much for your hard work in releasing this, I only download this for the weather aspect but the annotations are great as well. But ultimately, its fantastic to be able to have unpredictable but realistic weather in the game.

    If DTG gave out awards for community mods, this would get my vote for 2025.

    Is it possible to edit the name of a point after it’s been saved, or do you have to delete and replace it?
