Since the updated version for 1.28 of Early and Late Autumn by Grimes has yet to be released

I'm currently using the version for 1.27 and it works on 1.28 without any problem

Very well then, I'll add it back on my list.

In case someone did not saw it:

Tomorrow I will record the Reykjavík - Reyðarfjörður with Foggy Weather 1.6

Question: when the mod's finished, will the blue twiglight visible at night directly above the horizon be gone? So far, most of the weather/graphics mods fail to substitute it with a completely realistic dark black night. To me personally it looks very very unrealistic and I'd be very disappointed if it stays like that. Seen it in one of Clumsy's streams. Also the vanilla game's night sky is like this..

Apart from that of course the variation and credibility offered by Foggy Weather is unparalleled!

other more important question - how many extra work are the upcoming changes with 1.29 ?

How far is the release date pushed back ?

So, one month has passed already without anyone but one person responding. Some day I might question the point of having such a thread to discuss the topic if there's no activity. Yes, the author is busy, we know he does excellent work, but is it too much of a demand to let us know what's going on after so much time?

Besides, I actually have another question: will the mod automatically reflect the different seasons in terms of varying weather and sunrise / sunset times corresponding to the location?

If the author is busy and not answering to the questions, this isn't a bad thing, quite the opposite. December or earlier should give us some newest insight in his work in progress or the final product. Sure he will answer, just needs a bit more time, that's all.

Sorry for the late answers...

I'm aware of it and working on it.
To be honest, it's not 100% unrealisitc, but the way it is now, is kinda is unrealisitc. ^^ Blue twilights will be visible in sun direction during night only.
Sun direction, you may ask?
Yeah, so where the sun is below the horizont during nighttime, it'll be a bit brighter by the horizont. But far less then now.
Other directions wont have any twilight at all.

Unfortunatly SCS did not gave us a conversion tool for that, but the adaptions is already finished. One thing I'm and other weather modders are not understanding, are the timezone problem... When they do not document it in the 1.30 documentation, I'll be asking them regarding that problem.

Yes, already can be seen in Clumsys video. Stay tuned for more!

Thanks for the answers!

Yeah, okay it might not be a 100% unrealistic, though it should definitely not last for the whole night, which it does currently. Since, of course the sun will appear on the opposite direction the next morning. And I do have the feeling that sometimes it looks like the sun would be rising in the south rather than in the east.
