If you're on a PC there's a mod available for that: https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...9-patches/i2295-more-weather-scenariospresets
I actually already have this mod its ok but is silly that we have to download a mod to get something that should of come with the game. Im also sure that there are console players that want storms as well.
As a Xbox Player this is cool option to add. For Oakville Subdivision it can be combined with Regular Snow as Thundersnow Lake effect Snow.
I agree that thunderstorms are necessary. Regarding operations: storms could cause trees to fall on the tracks, so railroads have equipment to clear the track. Work trains could be a great addition to the game. I really want to operate a crane car and handle other MOW operations.
Lethal accidents cause lost licenses... Ie if a tree can fall when you're not there to see it, it can fall when you are and having such things in game may make companies think twice about having their kit in game
If you have the new iow, one of the scenarios has thunder with sounds. But like it's said, more weather options would be better
