    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.

    My stance is I will believe it when I see it. I said that it is the patch notes, not that it's actually fixed :D

    the transitions are still too quick for my liking- just had a completely overcast sky turn blue in no more than 15 seconds. definitely better than before, but still work to be done

    I spawned in at my local station in rochester and it was fully overcast and the real weather outside was sunny with small amounts of cloud it feels a bit inaccurate this was on the series x

    I was trying TSW 7 Live Weather and I think it is a Bit strange that its completely dark in Bremen at 17:30? In the evening, the sunset is normally at about 19:30. Can you fix that please?

    that’s not due to live weather, sunrise and sunset times in tsw are completely wrong for some reason

    I've never seen any precipitation or wet ground. In places were it's suppose to be thunder storming or raining it is overcast but absolutely no wet ground and no rain. I've tried multiple situations. This is on PC

    Same on PS5. No rain at all even when I've looked at the met office app and rain is in that area. I'm not sure the weather is supposed to change through a timetable service because I've either had sunny weather or grey sky.

    Supposedly its using this website's weather.
    https://openweathermap.org

    But I check locations and the weather isn't accurate.

    I remember when I first launched TSW7, under Live Weather, "today" and "live" were both clickable, as if you were choosing between realistic weather of a particular day and realistic weather at that particular moment... now none of those two are clickable...
