Real Weather with Crew Chief GTR2 Enhancements Plugin Custom Weather Feature

Much better alternative: The Crew Chief GTR2 Enhancements Plugin Custom Weather feature with real weather data and quasi-realistic weather scenarios is now available.

Weather.txt

  • Weather.txt is in UserData\Log
  • It is automatically generated every race session
  • To prevent it from being re-generated, set it read-only: Right Click > Properties > Attributes: Read-only
  • Game generated weather.txt files are pretty boring and rarely exhibit any changing weather, even when Changeable weather is set in-game
  • Use an app like Autosim Weather Generator for GTR2 to generate more plausible weather scenarios. It has a rather nice and intuitive visual, drag-and-drop style interface that anyone can grasp.

Autosim Weather Generator:
