Version 5.0.0
- Custom Location: Added the ability to select a custom location for weather data. You can use any lat/lon pair, or you can search for a location by name, either in-game, or from real world places.
Version 4.6.3
- Wetness Calculations Fix: More fixes to wetness calculations.
- Updater: Installer should now have the current installed dir preselected.
Version 4.6.2

- Wetness Calculations Fix: Wetness caused by humidity reduced in below-freezing weather.
Version 4.6.1
- Annotation Fix: Added the missing annotations.
Version 4.6.0
- Random Year (Era): Added Random Era Year option to the historic weather kind. This mode will select a random year, based on the given range, around the in-game year. Mainly aimed at timetables representing older eras, when winters were harsher.
- Visibility Calculation: Added basic visibility calculation for when it is not available in the historic data. This calculation is based on temperature, humidity and wind speed.
- Annotations: Added Spirit of Steam Liverpool - Crew and Peak Forest Railway annotations.
Version 4.5.1
- Annotations: Added Birmingham - Crewe annotations.
Version 4.5.0
- PoI: Added SignalBox and Maintenance Depot PoI.
- Weather Overlay: Added wetness as an overlay information (this is the in-game wetness slider value).
- Annotations: Added Frankenbahn Stuttgart - Heilbronn and Tees Valley Line annotations.
Version 4.4.1
- Time Formatting: Time values should now be formated using the system short time format (including 12/24h variant).
Version 4.4.0
- Weather Overlay: Added weather date and weather time information (idea from Train Sim Society).
- Weather Overlay: Added the ability to specify multiple weather overlay panels, each with own properties. Allowing more user customizability of the overlay.
- Weather Overlay: Permanent Weather Overlay and Annotation Weather Overlay are no longer mutually exclusive. Both can be enabled with different properties.
Version 4.3.2
- Weather Profiles Fix: Crashing at opening editor, hopefully, fixed. Weather profiles had to be reset for this fix.
Version 4.3.1
- Weather Profiles Fix: Weather Profiles sometimes not being populated fixed.
Version 4.3.0
- Snow Mapping: Snow mapping is now a look-up table, allowing to more precisely define the mapping curve.
- Frost Effect: In freezing temperatures, with high humidity, the app will now apply small levels of snow slider to try to simulate frost accumulating on surfaces.
- Weather Profiles: It is now possible to define multiple mapping profiles and switch between them from the main weather window. The app will remember the selected profile for routes sharing the same origin points.
Version 4.2.1
- Train Location Fix: App should now correctly detect which vehicle in the train formation is the one driven by the player. Fixing issues when the driven vehicle is technically last in formation.
Version 4.2.0
- Weather Finder: Extended the weather finder filter, you can now specify visibility, precipitation and snow cover ranges you're looking for.
- PoI Length: The app can now show the computed length of bridges / viaducts and tunnels, as part of the
annotation (idea by Thorgred). UOM can be changed in settings. Note that these are direct distances between
entry and exit point and will differ from real values for curved tunnels i.e.
- Community Spreadsheet: Added a button for quick access to the community weather spreadsheet, where you can share services with interesting weather.
- Fix: Long Tunnels (over 10km) sometimes not registering properly fixed.
Version 4.1.0
- Live Weather: Added support for 15minutely variables from Open-Meteo, that means that regions where data have sub-1hour fidelity, should receive more dynamic weather.
- Location Source Preference: You can now manually select the location that should be used for annotations displaying or weather data to be either train location (default) or camera location. This is aimed for trainspotters who like to use the free camera to place a spotting spot.
Version 4.0.0
- Weather Finder: Added weather finder functionality, which can be used to find the desired weather.
Version 3.6.7
- Fix: Live weather queries sometimes failing on index exception (hopefully) fixed.

- Fix: Historical queries sometimes failing on index exception (hopefully) fixed.
Version 3.6.5
- Main Window Position: Disabled storing of the main window position, as it is currently causing to many issues.
- Fix: Application sometimes doing instant updates in short tunnels fixed.
Version 3.6.4
- Route Import: Application can now keep track of location which were imported. These are now, by default, hidden in the locations list.
- Route Export: During export, the user can select if he/she would like to export only his own location, or also the previously imported locations. Previously created export files are still valid, and still be imported without issues.
- Fix: Application opened out of desktop area, hopefully, fixed.
- Live Weather Fix: Live data misbehaving at last hour of the day fixed.
Version 3.6.2
- Snow Cover Progression: Snow Cover changes are now limited by player speed. While stationary the snow cover can change only by the snowing / thawing rate. While in move, the rate the snow cover can change is limited, max 2.5cm per 1km traveled. This can be changed in settings.
- Snow Cover Visualization: Snow Cover visualization is now also affected by snowing in the last 4 hours, the more it snowed the more in-game snow there should be. The amount can be change settings, where it can be also disabled.
- Player Location: The application now uses the train location (as opposed to camera location) for most operations. For annotation creation camera location is still used.
- Annotation Window: Annotation overlay window can now be changed to a normal windows window, which can be placed on second screen, and shouldn't interfere with Lossless Scaling, gsync and similar. The window location and size is preserved.
- Setting Window: Closing setting window will now give player the option to apply the setting before the window is closed.
Version 3.6.1
- Fog Progression: Low Visibility fog changes are now limited by player speed. So fog shouldn't just magically appear while stationary in a station.
- View Online: Added a view online button in the live weather panel. This will open open-meteo page where the weather for the day/location can be more closely examined.
- Windows Store: The app should now properly detect the windows store version running, and be also able to automatically retrieve the api key.
Version 3.6.0
- Sunrise / Sunset: The application now reads sunrise and sunset information from TSW, and shows them in the TSW Weather Panel.
- Night Icons: Before sunrise and after sunset, icons with moon, instead of sun, are used. (nice idea from Train Sim Society)
- Tunnel Wetness: Wetness will be decreased when player is in tunnel, improving traction. This works for all tunnels, even not annotated. For annotated tunnels the transition is smoother. Can be disabled in settings. (Great idea by OpenMinded)
- Bridge/Viaduct Wetness: Wetness will be increased when player is on a bridge or viaduct, decreasing traction. Works only for annotated bridges. Wetness increase factor (50% by default) can be changed in settings.
- Annotations Editor: Annotations with empty text will not be shown to user. This is to allow to also annotated features (bridges/tunnels) where the name is not know, but the application benefits from the definition, i.e. because of wetness simulation.
- Window Location: The application now remembers it's last location and will open at that location.
- Disable Location Annotations: It is now possible to disable only the location annotations, and keep the weather information visible. Check the settings.
Version 3.5.5
- Bug Fix: Weather not updating when a new service is started from where the previous service ended fixed.
- Elevation Info: Elevation can be disabled in menu.

- Historic Weather - Custom Year: Added +/- button for quick year change.
- Historic Weather - Random Year: Added a button to quick re-roll the picked random year.
Version 3.5.4
- TSW API: Reworked the way the app queries data from TSW to subscriptions, should make connection more reliable.
- Menu State: Improved detection of main menu. All overlays should now be properly hidden in main menu.
- Weather - Snow: Added 'Snow Precipitation Multiplier' in the settings, which allows to fine-tune the amount of snow particles in-game.
- Historic Weather: Local route time is now used, and timezone offsetting is done by open-meteo service. This fixes wrong UTC times being used for routes with wrongly defined timezone (Köln-Aachen i.e.).
- Weather Overlay: Added current elevation above sea level (updated only when sat in a cab), thanks to pegeka for the idea :-).
Version 3.5.3
- Loss of Precipitation VFX: Lowered the amount of TSW API Calls which was causing loss of precipitation VFX in-game. Values of smoothed updates at and below 2 seconds may still cause issues.
Version 3.5.2
- Weather: Discrepancy between weather code and visible precipitation fixed (hopefully).
- Weather Overlay: Weather overlay can be permanently enabled, check the settings.
Version 3.5.1
- Weather: Moderate Snow Icon corrected.
Version 3.5.0
- Weather: Added wind information from live data. Not applied in TSW, because it is not available in the DTG API.
- Weather Overlay: Added additional weather information into the overlay. Individual parts can be disabled in setting.
- Weather Overlay: Overlay now shows 'real' weather data, not TSW ones. So values, like precipitation, will no longer be clamped to values TSW is able to represent.
- Live Weather (Clouds): Improved cloud cover mapping. In-game cloud cover should now match the reported percentage more closely.
- Live Weather (Precipitation): The app will now force the reported precipitation (snow / rain) into TSW.
- Live Weather (Tunnels): When loading weather in annotated tunnels, the exit location will be used, to avoid the app using weather for the peak the player is passing under.
- Live Weather (Tunnels): Long tunnels (over 1km) will now force instant weather refresh when player is in tunnel. Allowing hidden weather change if the weather on the other side of tunnel is different.
Version 3.4.1
- PoI Editor: Active Poi list being empty fixed.
Version 3.4.0
- General: Weather tab is now the first tab, as more people will be interacting with that.
- Overlay: Added Crossing, Road, and Road Underpass PoI types.
- PoI Editor: Build-in locations are hidden from the editor by default.
- Live Weather: Wetness simulation - the application now also controls the wetness slider. Wetness is affected by precipitation (current and previous), humidity, and snow cover. Thanks to coderbyday for the tip.
- Live Weather: Apply to TSW button is now only visible in Manual mode.
- Annotations: Manchester Airport Commuter annotated.
Version 3.3.1
- Overlay: Added ability to set monitor for overlay.
- Settings: Fixed Apply button being unreachable on lower resolutions.
Version 3.3.0
- Live Weather: UOM. Added the possibility to customize Unit of Measure in the settings.
- Live Weather: Added 'speed acceleration' for historic weather. Setting it to other value than one 1x speed weather progression. i.e. in 10x in one in-game hour, the weather will advance ten hours.
- Overlay: Weather information are now shown on the overlay, when passing a station, yard, or a hill.
- Live Weather: Thunderstorms - the app will only move the in-game precipitation slider over the thunderstorm threshold only when thunderstorms are reported by weather service.
- Overlay: Peninsula Corridor annotated.
Version 3.2.0
- Live Weather: Added weather smoothing. Weather updates will now happen smoothly, over the period between meteo service calls.
- Live Weather: Added the possibility to select custom year for Historic weather.
- Live Weather: Added the possibility to select random year for Historic weather.

Version 3.1.1
- Autoupdater: Fix for autoupdater not updating all assemblies correctly.
Version 3.0.1
- Live Weather: Added ability to override visibility.
Version 3.0.0
