    How to have the weather change during an activity

    Are there any tutorials on how to have the weather change within an activity? Thanks in advance!

    I am not aware of any tutorials that may exist, but I can provide a working example -- paste these events into an activity with winter clear conditions, and watch a snow storm develop slowly into blizzard conditions. WEATHER-CHANGE-EXAMPLE.txt

    My advice is to read the Open Rails manual section 11.16.9 and experiment -- include a time event (00:00:00) that takes effect immediately; start the activity, observe the effect; then close the activity; adjust the parameters and repeat; make note of the settings that give the desired effects.

    Rain and snow intensity are noticeably reduced in recent versions of Open Rails -- for the best effect, I recommend v1.5.1.

    Regards,
    Dan Reid
