0.39 in is in snow cover, but that is barely any snow at all (less than 1cm). To put it in perspective, this is Corviglia from Switzerland today: which currently has 17 cm (6.6inches) snow reported on openmeteo... and still the ground is not fully covered. I have the feeling people trully underestimate how much reported snow cover you need to have before it starts to look like winter wonderland... Especially if the snow had time to thaw away. You weather is also showing cloudy, with no precipitation.. so it might have snowed, but the weather no longer states that it should.
Load the route first, then the Import button will become functional. The app needs to know which rote the file is attached to.
Great mod! I am using it to add crossings to routes that don't have whistle posts. However, when I hit the radius I get the overlay but it only stays on a couple of seconds. Is there a way to make it persistent, like it is with stations? Am I missing a setting? Also... LOVE the Live Weather function! Thanks for all your work on this!
I’ve noticed an odd overlay behavior. Sometimes the weather code status and icons disappear, and the overlay shifts out of the position I set. It usually returns after a minute or two, or as soon as the weather code updates, but I wanted to flag it. It feels like the data isn’t being drawn, or the icons fail to load, or something similar. Not sure which it is, just wanted to report that.
. I hate the way DTG have linked rain and visibility. There are lots of instances in real life where heavy rain does not affect visibility to this extent. Although lighting (TOD4) is pretty good the weather effects are both limiting and often poor. I thing DTG should either do a weather update or get someone with weather designing skills (eg Armstrong Powerhouse) to do this for them. Your program is great but DTG's weather effects sometimes limit its proper implementation. Still its 100% better than the rediculous weather extremes introduced by DTG's dynamic weather!
Currently not. Most points type have a simple logic. If they are composed only of one coordinate, they will be shown only for the minimal time. If they are composed of two or more coordinates, they will be shown until player gets from one point to another. But I think it makes sense to have it changed, so for the one point, it will stay shown the minimal time + while the player is in the points radius. So, in the next update it should be possible. Thanks for the report, I found an error with few of the icons, that might cause them not being visible in certain conditions. Hopefully it is that.
Just to say again that this app in amazing, just had a great run in real time with real weather with 1F45, Crewe route, and the cloud cover (almost overcast) with that level of ground wetness was superb, looked real at times. Autumn in this sim seems to be great with almost overcast skies, the lighting just works. This sim really does shine with the right conditions. Thanks again.
I am running this route, and your work is amazing. You put the names on everything, and it is nice. Thank you for the work.
It really is phenomenal… I did a run with the new Fife Circle Sprinter timetable in live conditions this morning, and watching the clouds and fog roll in as I approached the Forth Bridge was just incredible!
Really superb. Presently running a same head code service across multiple routes (Paignton to Manchester service) and using this and choose the same date to run the service, I've had what would have been the real weather across the whole route for that date.
And all it took is to move the few sliders in reasonable manner, not yank them from one extreme to another in 15 seconds. The lighting engine in TSW is quite good, too bad DTG never trully managed to show it properly. I just had a february morning run from Carlisle towards Preston, overcast, damp ground. As I climbed towards Shap, snow started to slowly appear on the ground, snow cover increasing as the altitude increased. Then a little bit of snow started to fall... trully tranquil winter morning... And as I descended towards Lancaster, the snow dissapeared once again, and snowing turned into rain... Geography of a route finally affects something more than incline..
Second this! Having an Excel sheet like the one from the "Great TSW Runs" thread, and possibly adding it to the OP of this thread, would make it easily accessible. I have so many additions to add straight off the bat!
I also plan to add a 'weather finder' feature in the app. The app currently has over 800 annotated stations, with world coordinates... So you should be able to i.e. pick NY Penn, and make the app use the open-meteo api to search for all thunderstorms between March 2024 and September 2024... For each occurence you would get a date + ingame time. So all that's left is pick a service at that date time and enjoy the weather.
