TSRE Night View?

Does TSRE offer a night view for object placement?

Wish so. One of the things I used to in the MSTS RE was fly around the route at night to make sure I hadn't missed any "night" texture files when modifying the route/adding new objects.

Assuming you are using the latest version of TSRE, i.e. v0.0084, then you can choose night view (and other seasonal views) in this section of the settings.txt file:

seasonalEditing = true
#season = Winter
season = Summer
#season = Spring
#season = Autumn
#season = Night

Just insert # before season = Summer so that this will be ignored and remove # from before #season = Night

I am missing something obvious. Are we talking about Eric's V.8.004? All I see in this version is "seasonalEditing = true", so I added the other lines underneath:
#season = Winter
#season = Summer
#season = Spring
#season = Autumn
season = Night

But, still shows default of day/summer.

The settings text I have as supplied contains this
// season = "winter" // For editing winter/fall/spring/summer
// seasonalEditing = false //

Nothing about Night

[dlfrenchmd]

This is what I put in settings.txt, below //seasonalEditing, which I changed to true:
// hudScale = 1 //
// season = "winter" // For editing winter/fall/spring/summer
// seasonalEditing = true

#season = Winter
season = Summer
#season = Spring
#season = Autumn
#season = Night

This is summer view. Change to:

#season = Winter
#season = Summer
#season = Spring
#season = Autumn
season = Night

for night view. In TSRE, then, the objects have the night textures showing up, but everything else is still in day view. If it has a night texture, I see it. This has allowed me to place lamp posts right above my light splashes on the night ground of an object.

Night definitely works for activating the night textures. It doesn't affect ambient lighting, though.

I will take a look to see if there's a way to turn off the Sun.......

Ok, I misunderstood. I took the word "night" literally.
