- Complete Reroll of this Modification
- Added 12 new climates (mediterranean, semi-arid, alpine/highland, incl. special climates for the
Monument Valley, cities, oceanic regions & Los Angeles + San Francisco)

- KNOWN ISSUE #1: Due to SCS and PRISM3D-engine sometimes the temperature doesn't change when passing
a border to an other climate. Possible fix, if you want: Create a save-file and reload the game.
- KNOWN ISSUE #2: Due to SCS and PRISM3D-engine sometimes the weather may change too fast
when passing a border to an other climate. Possible fix, if you want: Create a save-file and reload the game.
- KNOWN ISSUE #3: Due to SCS and PRISM3D-engine sometimes you get into a 'bubble' inside fog,
where you have no fog at all, but some meters aways you have a wall of fog, while the
transition between nice weather and thick/heavy fog. Possible fix, if you want:
Create a save-file and reload the game.
COMPATIBILITY:
This mod REQUIRES ATS 1.5.x. VERSIONS BELOW (1.0-1.4.x) WILL NOT properly WORK with the modification.
Also all two DLC's (DLC NEVADA; DLC ARIZONA) are recommended for full experience the mod bring the effects with one.
IF California, Nevada & and Arizona got not touched by a map-mod, this mod is compatible with that map-mod.
Otherwise it's NOT!
Exceptions: - 'Project West (v 1.2)' - Please activate the add-on for using this map-mod with my weather-mod.
Other add-ons for other map-mods will come with 1.7.2 (Update for ATS 1.6).
This mod aswell are not compatible with other weather mods except HDR correction.
But it's not recommended.
Other mods like real companies, AI-traffic or truck-mods are compatible.
