    This mod gives the environment menu more options.

    New Options:

    • Wind Speed & Direction
    • Realtime Syncing (Goes back to previous time if you turn it off)
    • Ability to change the world temperature
    Changes:
    • Changed Time Of Day section to hide options instead of disabling them.


    Additional Information:
    It's not on the repo because it overrides the game files which isn't allowed. I wanted it to be a QOL type of mod where it looks like it's part of the game itself. Sad I can't put it on the repo but oh well.

    Should be in the game by default. Great mod :)

    Good mod, does make you wonder why things like the realtime clock aren't a vanilla option. Perhaps because of how bad the nighttime looks in Beam still. Ah well, great mod :) Hopefully we see some sort of official implementation of some of these options when a UI revamp comes?

    I prefer this over UI apps 100%. Now I can make cold mornings in ECUSA!

    Maybe you could add real-time temp. for certain maps along with the real-time? So night will be cooler than day automatically? Sounds like a lot of work, though.

    I could but that's what the temperature curve is for. It would be nice if I could sync it with real life but I can't do that without an external program.

    Hopefully yeah, it didn't take me long to do any of these features and there's no negative impact, just QOL :)

    Such a cool add on! Finally I can keep the UI clean and minimized (there is only the messages box nothing else lol) as the dedicated app isn't so beautiful imo

    I'm just thinking all of these should be in BeamNG by default, they can simulate these details, why not putting in game, devs?!

    It seems the mod is broken. I tried to clean the cache and reinstall the mod, but the real time time is reset, and the temperature setting is gone altogether

    Could you add the ability to make the time of day a 'sticky' global? So that every map by default loads with the time I set?
    Can you add the ability to make sticky options for Cloud Cover, speed, and Fog Density as well?
    That's what I've been looking for. Thanks.

    I don't think it's the environment of the night time maps. It's the fact that most of the headlights on the cars are too weak compared to real life. When I add LED light bars to a truck, or add rally lights to a car, it gets closer to the power of low beam headlights irl.

    How to enable the mod in safe mode?
