E63 I don’t think there is any way this is caused by the weather patterns.

I know this is a double post, but i thought many of you would like to know this. Untill now we’ve only really had 7 weather patterns in quick drives. But the AP weather pack 2 has expended the possibilities a lot. Though it might be by accident, since it is not mentioned in the manual:
Been doing some testing, with surprising results in regards to quick drive.
1: Dynamic weather DOES WORK to some extent in QD. Simply use the Ap swep trigger, and input the trigger name of dynamic weather pattern you want to use. Not all dynamic weathers have full functionality, but they are not looking broken either. The Shower patterns are beautiful. The thunder pattern works.
2: All standard AP weather patterns fully work with the AP swep trigger in the same manner as described above.
I just made this work (and remember, this is in a QD(!). Try it your self:
Put an AP swep trigger in the QD scenario. Write “AP Fair Cloud” in the speed limit box.
1km up the track, in the path of the player train, place an Pass trigger. Write “APFairCloud-Overcast20” in the speed limit box. (Notice that the latter is a dynamic weather pattern, and these are unsupported in quick drives)
Now within 20 minutes the beautiful sunny scenario will turn to a chill overcast.
What a huge improvement to quick driving this is.

Ap weather in scenario flyout gewählt?
Ap weather in object filter eingeschaltet?
Don’t forget that only a few standard weather patterns include changes. You can’t use dynamic weather patterns.

Regarding not being able to modify QD Clear to AP High Cloud. I simply needed to recopy (and rename where necesary) the AP weather TOD into all routes. Now it works and i have High Cloud when i choose Clear in QD. No need for enabling AP weather in route and scenario editors.
Making a script the randomly replaces the rw_clear.bin file in Railsimulator Core weather with a couple of standard AP weathers should be very doable.
I have some very clear thoughts and ideas if anyone with a bit of scripting knowledge wants to make huge advances in the qd experience for the benefit of all of the community, please contact me.

TomB I tried cooying in the high cloud pattern and rename it to RW_clear.bin, but i only got a white sky. I wonder if i need to enable AP weather in the route. Or in the scenario even.
-
OK this does work to some extent. VERY good find. I find that it mostly (but not always) randomises between the weathers that is allowed in qd. BUT sometimes it seems that it chooses a different cloud or overcast pattern. So far so good.
The PASS trigger also (sort of) works to some extent. Will have to dig into how much tonight when i get home from work.
Next thing i’ll investigate is if you can actually input a weather pattern in the speedlimit box on those two triggers.
-
TomB Now that’s interesting. Let me see if i get this right. If i want AP High Cloud instead of AP Fair Cloud, i copy AP High Cloud into the correct KUJU folder and then rename it to rw_cloudy.
Have i got this correct?
-
Tarik Pasic All three of them. But mainly the “load weather at scenario startup” trigger, because that alliws for randomisation of weather.
-
Regarding scripting. There must be a line of code somewhere that defines AP Fair Cloud as the weather pattern when choosing cloudy in quick drive.
If anyone can find that line of code we are onto something. Because that line of code could (theoretically) be changed to point to something else. And (theoretically) to point to any non-dynamic weather pattern. And if that is possible, a script could be build for automating the change of that line of code.

Even if it’s not dynamic weather but only “standard” the use of AP weather triggers would be a huge enhancement. So i’d be satisfied with that.
-
143er I tried exactly that, but it didn’t work at all.
-
I am hundred percent serious. If anyone can make ap weather triggers work in qd i’ll pay the reward.
-
I must say that the new Overcast, is very beautiful and lifelike.

tom87 To answer your other question. My heart lies in the “randomness”. Not knowing when i’ll hit a red signal. So unless this becomes possible in standard scenarios, i don’t think i’ll ever do anything but my Real Drives.

Kim_olesen1 Sorry to say so, but DTG needs to improve quick drive.
Yes they need to do that. However that does not mean that 03:00 should look like this. And this is not the fault of DTG.
-
Quick drives: Weathers that uses fog as background at night, are brighter than at day time. This was supposed to be fixed.

I want the annoying gap between Hausach and Offenburg closed. As well as Freiburg - Offenburg.
