ATS Edition of the mods
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello and Welcome to the officials ProMods forum topic of "Improved Weather - ETS2 Edition"
"Improved Weather (IW)" Is an Weather an Graphics mods trying to improved the weather, lightning and add new skybox in the future.
My final goal is to get an weather/graphics mods similar to those before 1.40 update. The main issue is after 1.40 update all graphics mods like (RGM, NaturaLux, Piva weather) is not updated anymore and the new graphics mods from 1.40 uptate (Weather 3.0, Realish Graphics) is disappointing because they look to much similar to SCS Lightning best one, (JBX, PNG) is not free.
The reason why why the name of the mods is "Improved Weather" is because it's an tribute to the old (IWR) by S_Gate, were a lot new of graphics/weather mods before 1.40 was inspired from.
Critics and suggestion is welcome here, but everything is not possible due to game limitation unfortunately.
Stay tuned for more soon!

Feature (Current Version (V1.0 release on 2 March 2024))
- Keep SCS Skybox
- Improved visuals on SCS Skybox
- Improved Sun visuals on SCS Skybox (Inluding customs flare)
- Moon is visible during day on SCS Skybox
- More color Saturation on SCS Skybox
I do the most simple possible, I only change the lightning and add New Skybox to make sure this mods is compatible with most graphics mods that change the texture.

ADD-ON:
At this moment "Improved Weather" offer one add-on:
This mods improve the Vegetation LOD and make the grass and tree very detailled at the distance.
It contain 2 different version of it inside the folder, do not place directly into mods folder:
Better Vegetation LOD
It contain the base mod and it's not compatible with Real Mirror FOV by Edkode.
Better Vegetation LOD add-on with True Mirror FOV compatibility
It contain the base mod with Real Mirror FOV by Edkode compatibility.
To make sure it's work correctly you need to give Better Vegetation LOD add-on with True Mirror FOV compatibility highter priority than Real Mirror FOV.
Do not run both version
