Regarding weather; sometimes I also get bad weather/snow, even if I made it sunny the first time in editor. I have stopped speculating why. I just close TS, restart it, then again go into the editor, set my own weather again as first thing to do, then save.

For another reason I won't speculate about, my cloned "Hardship Harbour" (H_L) let me set weather my first edits, but no more. I get zwangs 22:30 no matter what daytime I set. But my chosen weather is fine. I'll get back to the issue if I find an answer. Maybe never :-p

It seems to me it has nothing to do with swapping locos, as this happened when I just cloned the H-L mission and set a sunny daytime, did nothing more.

Latest (a tad off topic): At Hamburg Wandsbek I have a Railpool vR loco on siding two, in my opposite direction. Time set so he will try to leave as I arrive. I get a red light and can go no further. You know why? Because the Railpool consist go bakwards off siding two, then drive into siding 1 and stops there. Which is my siding!!

At that point I leave my mission. I can only conclude the editor and/or H-L signalling is totally whacked and full of ghosts.

64bit works fine here, editor included, as I never used it with 32bit (being a newbie). Been using it a lot with 64bit to make my first missions, and everything works well. But my RW modified H-H and H-L started to go slower and slower. On top of that add all the faults I myself introduce.

So today I reinstalled it all, and now I am zipping the H-H line at tremendous speeds (great feeling of speed) with the Metronom and ICE 2. The custom tracks.bin was the bugger with H-H, made many of the standard and career missions useless. The only H-H mod I currently use is the custom track rule.

I will keep my TS 2019 pretty vanilla for a while, as the reinstall gave me the fun back. No more fault tracing, having a beer while pushing the Metronom up to 180 km/h (doable with PZB enabled) ...

If memory serves, the BR 218 from Steam also make my RT BR 218 disappear from the Loco menus. As I have H-L I simply don't use it (buying it was one of my early TS mistakes).

I have noticed my RT BR 218 gets messed up if I use the dostos with control cab from H-H with it, so for my new Lubeck Harbour - Hamburg Wandsbeck siding freight mission, I'm gonna try to use it as AI with classic nahwerkehr wagen instead.

PS: This mission wasn't easy to make, as my freight train was sent into the left track towards Hamburg. I solved this by giving it waypoints through all the stations on the way to Hamburg Wandsbeck.

Thanks for those great RW upgrades, I use H-L (a lot!) and H-H.

Regarding Hamburg-Hannover v1; first I got trees with whacko textures along the line. So I read all the threads here but found nothing. After stubbornly experimenting for a couple of days, I finally found out I needed the full version of "Radiomaster" (Radiomaster Complete). I also use the Schuster signale to get rid of the terrible, unreal 160 zones along the line (been ICE passenger there a couple of times real-life).

Everything is well, but there is one thing left: The hekotometertafeln are missing. If I have understood things right, those were already missing in the original H-H? So maybe not in RW v1 as well?

(I used H-H Deluxe for a while, but reverted to H-H v1 because I like to use the original missions).

PS: For those wondering, the black booms at road crossings at night in H-L are already there in H-L default.

My first pic; from the infamous Hamburg-Lubeck "Hardship Harbour" mission. Been driving this again and again to find out how to avoid the Kamikaze BR 218 waiting for me at Bad Oldesloe. Lately I took the dispather's text as a clue, then drove like mad from Arensburg with max speed 120 km/h with the standard BR 145. And took a medal three times in a row, and had the pleasure of entering the Lubeck siding.

Lately, I found out how to swap the DTG BR 145 with my new vR. Finally a loco that accelerates and brakes more or less like the real thing! Just that my first vR mission also ended with a crash! So I need to test this more, so that I again can pass that BR 218 at Bad Oldesloe and give the driver my middle finger :-p
