Train Simulator Classic: AP Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack 2.0 FIRST LOOK

[@tonydeeks5756]

Loving the early morning haze. It looks absolutely stunning

[@urthvox]

This transitions very well with the new Cloud EP

[@HSTPaul]

This pack looks brilliant. I'm one of these people that does enjoy Quick Drive, however I like scenarios too. My problem is some of the scenarios have so many requirements that I don't have yet, which I understand the reason for, it makes it more realistic.

[@MikeWestBastion]

Appreciate your views on the latest update for TS Classic (6-6-23), hardly any of my DLC works and its very broken

[@sgf_photography_50]

hello do you know if there is a route from Norwich to Cambridge if not I would love to see one come out

Greetings from Wales. I've removed my APT clip; thanks for the advice, I'll give yours a look now...Mike

[@BusTrainsGuy20]

Its a good pack but I'm not happy about the price in general 😕 even though I own the old one...So I know a lot of people as it is ain't really buying it due to the ridiculous price of 24.99 and for ones who own it £20 which is basically £4 off, good pack and all but I will wait for a sale.

[@robbiecarr2049]

Me too I only just bought the vol 1 on Sunday can you believe

[@AlanThomsonsim]

There is actually far more people happy with the pack than angry from what I subs seen it’s actually people not understanding what’s gone into the pack claiming it’s overpriced Expensive yes overpriced no And please let’s stop this only £4 discount The old pack has been out 2 years and I for one have deffo had my 12 quids worth out of it When you get a new phone they don’t give you 20% off Because you had the old model I don’t get why it’s expected when the changes are so drastic it’s not like it’s a few extra files

[@JBFlytography]

@@robbiecarr2049 they’ve been posting since the 8th of February about a new weather pack coming. Usually when they start posting you know it’s not far away. 🤷🏼‍♂️ @Bus&TrainsGuy75 Can see the point from both sides. Yes, it’s expensive to some for what looks on the surface - no a lot. It is a completely new pack built from the ground up. If you can’t afford it don’t buy it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@robbiecarr2049]

@@JBFlytography I appreciate that but I do not use social media a lot it’s full of crap you don’t need to know these days adverts is all I see but not to worry I am happy to wait till I save up to update to v2 have a happy happy day

the intermission made me chuckle. Good video sir.

That was all kev can’t take and credit 😂

Love it! I’m relatively new to TS and am updating myself on, well, everything 😅. This looks stunning!! Thanks for sharing!! Subscribing as of now. Greetings from Spain!

[@terrycox9772]

you so me how to install my on armstrong powerhouse packs I am the expert at it now you say me how to do it thank you very much

[@Dkentflyer]

Hi Alan thankyou so much for showcasing this, I am completely blown away with what AP have achieved here, They really have cranked up the immersion factor. After being away from TS for over a year i am discovering so many great products having bought the signal pack I think this will compliment it very well. I was one of the "quick drive" brigade but after downloading my first scenario from ATS ( one of Adam Haighs) and really enjoying it I definitely want to explore scenarios more. Top job fella!

[@AlanThomsonsim]

Cheers man Richard really has banged this out the park

[@theasdaprice]

Love it and Alan, you so sound like Zippy when saying about the price

[@tbone121974]

It certainly gives Train Simulator Classic a graphics upgrade. You mention 3 add ons are must haves. What are they?

Hi mate it works fine what issues are you having

[@railway.enthusiast7725]

@@AlanThomsonsim when I open the application for the pack everything goes smooth until it says I don’t have the requirements for the pack but I have everything.

[@declangaming24]

For someone who wants better weather this pack may he good if only it was cheaper as trains and routes should be the only things worth more then weather, signals TS will end eventually there's only so much you can do with the product. But the pros and cons are better then TSW however who are 3rd parties getting away with selling there add ons /DLC on random websites then selling on steam. TSW however has all the content on steam or the console stores there for you. Honestly you could buy TSC for £3 if you look in the right places key sellers will always cheaper then buying off a digital storefront but the xbox, steam or PS store can have cheaper prices .

[@AlanThomsonsim]

I am really sorry mate I can’t really make sense out of what you have written

[@alanshelly7068]

A very good Thursday evening buddy I love the sound of the class 37s buddy from Alan in Lowestoft buddy

[@AlanThomsonsim]

They do sound lovely mate I agree

[@Sirdidymuss]

Looking at applying to be a train driver at GWR and looking for a sim to try out. What's your best recommendation? TSC or TSW2?

[@Sirdidymuss]

Actually have seen TS3 is on xbox game pass so will likely get that on xbox and try out TSC on pc

[@AlanThomsonsim]

Both packs are well worth it mate so whatever order you choose you won’t be disappointed

[@crazygecko5385]

@@AlanThomsonsim That's true. Out of both packs the signal one offers more for me as I have version one of the Sky & Weather which will still do nicely until I get version two. Both made for some nice eye candy in the video 😁

[@zaccamilleri5861]

Always a good watch, would welcome more videos from you, time permitting ofcourse. Undecided on the weather ep atm, will have to watch the stream aswell

[@droge192]

So glad you made this vid Alan, so quickly. For me, being honest, the stunningness of this just wasn't really coming through on AP's Facebook screenies. (Probably my crap monitor). Seeing the pack here in the sim, wow, I am absolutely blown away. The word is overused, but yes, a gamechanger for sure! I'll admit I did moan just a tad about the price, but having seem what is offered here, I fully retract my moan. Stunning. Cheers.

[@AlanThomsonsim]

It’s expensive yes but not over priced I don’t think I have been more in love with TSC in its 16 year history Glad you like it

@Alan Thomson top man! Life is alright to be fair. I'm tramping these days so away 6 days a week then 45hr at home. Got lucky this week so just grabbed the Lincoln ext and ragging a 222 about haha. Miss the streams, but sadly due to my rather unpredictable and irregular shifts at god knows the hour, I can't get on very often. 😅

That’s good to hear mate works more important 6 days a week is a heavy old Run that good man will need to sort a date for you to join a ETS convoy lol 😂

[@truckermylouk]

@Alan Thomson christ, I uninstall it a while ago. Doing an average of 50hr driving/1800 miles a week in a lorry has its side effects 🤣 Although if I can sort it, I'd be more than happy to do a hgv themed q&a
