I have a question about the AP Enhancement packs for someone who plays predominantly NA routes. I have the Sky and Weather Enhancement pack v1.0 which can be aliased fairly easily for most NA routes. So 2 questions, is Sky and Weather v2.0 that much better than v1.0? And are any of the other enhancement packs worth it for someone who plays North American routes? I.e Cloud Enhancement, Track Enhancement, Signal Enhancement, Vegetation Enhancement Thanks in advance for any feedback
Assuming you can follow the instructions in the manual for applying to other routes, I'd say the Sky/Weather 2.0 is your best bet. The clouds add on to it so it's up to you whether you want that extra variety. The track, signal and veg packs don't give any instructions on applying to other routes so they're probably not for you if you're focussed on North American routes.
Track and signal definitely are not, those are modeled off of European prototypes of which the US versions are extremely dissimilar. Better track for NA routes can be found here for free: https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c1-train-sim-classic/c80-assets/i4105-lpm-track-pack A developer named "SMM" made better signals, they're floating around on the internet somewhere, you'll just have to dig.
Also, for parts of the US, you're better to follow these instructions to make sunset and sunrise times a bit more prototypical, as default AP weather sunrise and sunset times are more suited to the UK and parts of Europe. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/guide-apswep-for-different-regions.79299/
