Hello,

the weather change is working fine, but the speed of the trains seems to have an influence on the precipitation on front view. At the rear, everything seems normal.

What is the problem?

If my guess is correct, it's not elementary to solve this. Raindrops and snow flakes are generated within a "box" that moves with the camera. Raindrops need some time to fall from the top of the box down to the bottom. If your camera runs fast, most of raindrops and snow flakes are still near the top of the box in front of you, and so you won't see many of them.

My question to the original poster is have you modified the size of the precipitation box?
The log would show this but . . . no log . . .

Since I have the same problem as Pascal, here is the information about the precipitation box

Quote

PrecipitationBoxHeight = 100
PrecipitationBoxLength = 500
PrecipitationBoxWidth = 500

How to change these parameters, possibly
I just saw how to change the zones

Hello
The weather change does not work with monogame versions (Rev93,95 and 96) nor with version X1.3.1-342-gf793f152f. Is this normal?
With the stable version 1.3.1.4328 it works
Here is the code

Events (
			EventCategoryTime (
				EventTypeTime ( )
				ID ( 1 )
				Activation_Level ( 1 )
				Outcomes (
					ORTSWeatherChange ( "Brouillard Tombant" )
				)
				Name ( JMF_PCA_Essai_meteo )
				Time ( 0 )
				ORTSWeatherChange (
					Name ( "Brouillard Tombant" )
					ORTSFog ( 80 50 )

I found the issue and have to decide which is the cleanest way to solve it. It occurs only if the activity is created with TSRE5, and what disturbs the actual versions of OR is this line

ORTSWeatherChange ( "ThisIsANameForThisWeatherChange" )

added by TSRE5 within the Outcomes block.
If this line, which is unuseful for OR and is useful only for TSRE5, is removed, the weather change works.

Hello.

That’s what I found too, I said on my forum but I forgot to mention it here. But why it works with the stable version and not the others?

Best regards
Jean-Marc

It works with the stable version, because in the other versions a cleaner possibility was added, that is to add the whole ORTSWeatherChange block within the Outcomes block, which is also the possibility which is described in the OR manual.

I have now fixed the problem in OR NewYear MG rev. 98.1; after some further thinking I'll insert the fix also in the official Unstable release.

I confirm - this is what I did manually, before reading this thread, so that the OR Test and MG versions read the weather changes in the activity. Now station clocks are also working - showing the current time in activity :-)

Hi m61, as written in my post above, with rev. 98.1 it is no more needed to delete the ORTSWeatherChange line within the Outcomes() block.
