    Though the mod was fun to mess with I've now disabled it since it completely ruins lighting in stations and at night and breaks PIS, and that became more annoying than nice clouds are worth.

    Cheers

    It is not only clouds, original TSW2 lighting was totally messed up in every way and this mod helps fixing that (during daylight)

    This looks great! I'm just wondering, when changing the PIS boards to work correctly with TODv4, is this something you have to do for every board separately, or is it a route-by-route thing? Also, do you plan on making sure that all trains have their displays working correctly, as I can imagine that may be a little bit more difficult?

    I found my problem lol I made a post about Bakerloo stations in darkness and with trail and eliminations I got to this file in my mods and sure a faith boom it turns out the light in the station. One mod at a time took me forever to load and exit the game till I found out what one was causing it. lol here is some examples of Bakerloo I am gutted as the lights are amazing i have been running the line though with it on just pretend that TFL are going through a cost-of-living crisis and my train is using all the power so they can't afford 50p for the meter lol.

    Yea, it's a side effect of the mod where it makes tunnels extremely dark. It's up to dtg to rebake the lighting which the modders are unable to do since they have limited tools

    in fact, the technologies of Anrial and other engines also allow you to change the texture of the sky to any one, and in the same classic train you can even use custom sky boxes in any quantity and as much as you like. This is not a problem for this game either. and remaking maps is not a problem for many games, even modders can do it. Moreover, the classic train and world train series are modular in their structure. there is the very core of the game and all available routes and rolling stock are already connected to it. Even in a truck simulator it’s much different, there the map is seamless with a common sky box.

    I think Forza and ATS/ETS2 do have brilliant skies too (and not that horrible TSW whiteout exposure problem).
