    Please, for this summer, let the 07:00 temp be significantly lower than the 14:00h temperature in custom weather for our timetabled services. We can imagine it cooler along rock faces on the south side of deep valleys ...

    Maybe for winter 2025 we could have cardinal point wind direction with winter north wind and summer south wind out on some American routes with hot summer wind and freezing winter wind ? We can imagine the winter wind chill factor or just ask Google ... or Alex or Siri ... or DTG weather ai ...

    We have cooler/heater switches in some trains but I think they don't have any use other than being able to tweak them.

    If it actually could serve a purpose and we could adjust the temperature dependent upon season and time of day (maybe even area) this would be a cool thing, yes I agree.

    But would need a lot of work for a rather trivial system like that.

    It’s very difficult to feel the temperature in the game no matter what the temp figure shows. If I put the heating on in the train I don’t feel any warmer either. I think the heaters must all be broken. The smells are also broken in the game. All trains and surroundings smell like my living room.

    I wish we could change the temperature I want to be able to drive in winter without it snowing

    Then just select zero precipitation? And if you raise the temperature, the snow will melt veeeery quickly :)

    I prefer dynamic weather. UK winter is rain not snow.

    Same on the continent. :) A very long autumn.

    I found that if you go to main menu and back to timetable, temperatures may change. Though the easiest way is to select date based on preferred temperature. (Daylight time is wrong anyway in the game due to a fundamental flaw in ToD)

    Well, this does happen. If I remember correctly, Penninsula corridor does not gain any snow when it's winter.

    How should it, temperature usually doesn't go below 10 °C / 50 °F in the southern Sunshine State.

    Indeed, that was just stating that it could be possible to set a relative temperature threshold on different routes. Though it would be cool if you could set a minimum and maximum temperature for dynamic weather:D

    It is. It's a blueprint which contains average temperatures supplied with each route, allowing variations to some degree.

    You could modify that on PC, but that's useless as GodMode gives you full control over the weather in realtime anyway.
