    This thread will open once the game is released.

    Hello folks,

    This is the official master feedback thread for the Live Weather feature, introduced with Train Sim World 7.

    Please keep all discussions related only to feedback, and include the game platform you are using in any comments. Off-topic messages might be deleted or moved to the appropriate threads.

    Make sure to also check our extensive TSW 7 Support Pages, which include solutions to many common issues.

    When providing feedback, please always add the following details if possible:
    • Platform (i.e.: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S)
    • Service/Scenario played when the issue occurred.
    • Repeatability. How often does this issue occur?
    • Images/Videos of the issue occurring.

    Here are a few examples of how to best provide feedback and what to avoid:

    Helpful issue reports

    • "PC (Steam), Service XYZ, the AI train at X remained stationary, blocking the route. This has happened 3 out of 3 attempts. Screenshot attached."
    • "Xbox Series X: The station announcement audio at Y is much quieter than other stations. I've noticed it on multiple services."
    • "PS5 - Passengers do not board at Z Station. I was able to reproduce this every time."
    Positive feedback (also welcome!)
    • "PC: Really enjoying the scenery between A and B. The route looks fantastic, especially at sunset."
    • "PS5: The train handling feels great, and the services are a lot of fun to drive."
    • "The ambient audio around the stations is excellent and really adds to the atmosphere."
    Less helpful feedback
    • "It's broken."
    • "Fix this."
    • "The route is bad."
    • "Game crashed." (without any details about where, when, or how it happened)

    The more details you provide, whether reporting an issue or sharing something enjoyable, the more helpful your feedback will be to the team.

    As always, thank you for your feedback.

    All the best,
    Jan

    Used live weather for the early morning Skipton to London service (don't remember head code but it's the only one) with the 801 and it kept switching suddenly from being really foggy to no fog at all and vice versa. Series S

    If this is live weather for when I'm playing then there's no guarantee it's an appropriate weather pattern for the time of day of the service.

    If it's someplace that is foggy or cloudy in the mornings but clears by noon, this should be reflected by time-appropriate weather information.

    So I'm finding there is no fade transition between weather states as I'll be driving a service like Doncaster to Peterborough and the weather just suddenly changes.

    For me the transitions between the different Weather situations is to hard . One Moment its sunny and a bit cloudy , in the next moment there is the whole heaven full of clouds whitout any transition between them . Hope there will be a update for this , wich makes it smoother .

    Loading a saved game, the previous live weather is lost and the game doesn't appear to be contacting the server to update. Resumed my run in sparkling sunshine, the actual weather in Leeds is dull and overcast.

    In my opinion having "live weather" is not very useful.

    Example: I play a service that starts in-game January 1st at 3am (should probably be very cold weather), then the game uses the "live weather" of the zone that can easily be august 1st at 4pm (which is summer hot). Makes no sense at all.

    A historic weather approach like Winzarten's app has makes much more sense.

    That is also a good point. Not sure how the flight simulators get round that.

    Sadly unless DTG buff this feature I can see this going the same way as the failed Bidstack billboard advertising caper, which flopped miserably after a few months and never worked properly.

    Q/A is non-existent. A sunny day to fog to instantly back to sunny day. Please patch in smooth transitions. £58+ is a lot for me

    Do you really think the live weather will work properly after this update?
    I don’t think so, because whenever DTG fixes a bug, we end up with two or three new ones.;);)

    According to the notes they have also fixed it not updating when loading a save game, so when I install my free version later I’ll be testing that on Liberec or one of the JT routes.
