Getting Ap Skys Working On The Freeware Ay Valley Route

Hello, i am having some troubles getting the ap skys to apply on the UKTS (now archived) Ay Valley route. I have replaced the time of day files to no avail and have found out the xml file seems to have another skies section related to the skybox. I will post a picture below to show you what i mean, if anyone has done this in the past of has any leads please let me know, thanks. I know this is possible as i have seen other screenshots and videos on this route with the ap sky, thanks.

 

Where have you placed the TimofDay files?
Why have you posted a picture related to the London to Gillingham Route?
The RouteProperties.xml shows the Ay Valley uses the ToD files from Kuju/RailSimulatorCore

 

yes but i replaced the sky properties in the xml files to use the sky from london gillingham (a route which uses the ap skys) as replacing the time of day files didnt do anything, even when i stated it to use london gillingham it still didnt work

 

i have also replaced the kuju time of day files and replaced the route properties to default, which also didn't work

 

Look up the RouteProperties, it will tell you the route template file.

Look in the template file, it will tell you the season files used.

If it is LondonGillingham, it should already have AP sky as AP replaces them on installation.

The seasons given in the RouteProperties.xml are irrelevant - by default it holds a copy of the template (which is good for reconstructing that in case it's missing). TS takes the TimeOfDay always from the TemplateRoute xml.

So, let's do this quickly.

Check AyValley RouteProps


Open that template - all seasons use the legacy RS default TOD - we need to change them


... to this - as AP replaces the Core seasons, you'll then have your beautiful AP sky.


Et voilà
