Hello All, I have been working on a series of tutorials/downloads for Train Simulator to dramatically improve the look of the sim. As many are aware I am always interested in updating the weather and overall look of the atmospheric conditions of the sim. The series of tutorials/files here are meant ...

V1.6
- Fixed some incorrect viewing distances at low visibility
- Made some calculations more efficient

New Update today https://alpenfreight.wordpress.com/portfolio/metar-decoder/ v1.5 - Added a few exceptions to stop rain from occurring on non-raining days - Added an option to set a max viewable distance (Defaults to 10 miles). This can be used to set where the blue fog appears on a clear day. I bel...

Great to hear it works well. I actually have a new update here which addresses a couple small issues:

Absolutely, it's on the download page here:

I would like to ask (in ignorance) a question, can these conversions be uploaded to the file library for us non tech types to use or does it not work like that? :-? It would be easy to upload single themes, but the tool allows you to create real weather as frequently as it changes. So things aren't...

Definitely a cool tool and one I've been waiting for for a while. Noticed that it only reads US METAR reports correctly though, with European ones it doesn't understand visibility being in digits like 9999 or anything to do with thunderstorms. It actually does read euro visibility correctly, you wi...

Hello All, I have created a spreadsheet that can decode a METAR code and make a weather theme out of it (non-3d weather only). I have released an initial version of this mod on my website. https://alpenfreight.wordpress.com/portfolio/metar-decoder/ Basic overview is the ability to input an origin an...

Are you sure you repatched the loco afterwards? From your description it looks like the problem I've described. It's not the first time I and other people had this. In any case you can run TS in lua debug mode that will show you what exactly is crashing in the script: -LogMate -SetLuaFilters="Scrip...

Looks like the loco's script is broken and crashes at the end of execution. Rare, but not uncommon. Simply a bug in the loco. Go to the tools directory, there are two lua scripts. Rename trainsim-helper-engine-template.lua to something else and then rename the trainsim-helper-engine-template-altern...

Hello, First of all can I say thank you thank you thank you so much for this addon. It makes everything so much more enjoyable to use a joystick and replace the awful default UI with something so much more immersive. I am having one issue however with the Feather River Canyon F7. I have not tried ad...

Hello All, Is it possible to use a weather blueprint from one route on another? I would like to use the Story of Forest rail weather on another route. If I add its assets in scenario editor I don't get the correct weather, and If I copy the environment folder to the route I want to use it on I get a...

I too shall be downloading these - do they also address the rather prominent winds on some routes or is that too specific?? Thanks for the time taken. I have not explored that yet, but it only effects the 3D weather themes. I believe wind is part of those SL_ files, so I assume it would impact wind...

Final update for the weekend, this solves some awkward colors during times:
