Steps To Reproduce
  • set in Weather Editor/Preset States/States to cloudy. The view port changes to cloudy weather.
  • start play mode by click on play button -> The weather is changed to overcast back.
Additional Information

If this the not a bug but a feature please add a button to the Weather Editor that take this new weather conditions and set it for the play mode. Actual it is not intuitive.

For now it can be changed like:

  • duplicate the state file in the weather and state manager
  • inside the file set the "start state" to the desired start weather (e.g. "Cloudy")
  • save it and point the manger to the this state file

Proposed solution:

  • on creation of a new terrain or as a check by opening the Weather Editor Panel the weather state file would be created in the mod project or duplicated if not present and set as the state file in the weather manager
  • on hitting on "OK" in the Weather Editor Panel it would be saved to this state file
