Winter Snow Effects with Open Rails 1.6.1

[adreid]

Has anyone else noticed a difference in the snow fall intensity with Open Rails v1.6.1 (compared to v1.5.1)?

On my system, the snow effect is very weak with OR 1.6.1 -- I have run comparisons using "Explore Route" or "Explore with Activity" on several routes:
* original MSTS Marias Pass
* original MSTS North East Corridor
* MLT's Kicking Horse Pass Demo
* GTAOshawa
* BNSF_Scenic

I have checked the change logs on Gitgub and the Open Rails Project website, and have not noticed anything relating to weather effects, as well as searching various forums for issues with snow, and did not find any similar experiences.

Am I the only person with this issue?

I haven't made the exact comparisons that you have, but my impression agrees with yours that the snow fall is quite sparse. I would like to see it look heavier, so I would be interested in any suggestions to improve it.
There are sections in the Manual about weather conditions, but I've never delved into them. Perhaps there is something there?

I'm running ORNYMG 172.1 and I was just thinking the other day that the snow doesn't seem to fall as thickly as it used to....

Climate change...?

I’ve been complaining about OR’s snow effect ever since I stopped using MSTS, and I’m willing to bet a good snowflake.png would solve most of the issue. It's just that I don’t have the skills to make one.
