Modified Lights TSW4 (Seasonal daylight timers and Emissives)

A similar mod to the one I made a long time ago for TSW2 & 3. This pack has been re-built from the ground up and expanded to help out on many more routes.

By default many routes turn off the streetlights by 07:00 and don't turn them back on again until 17:00 - not much use during the northern hemisphere winter months.

This mod extends lighting hours so the lights stay on until after sunrise, and come on before sunset. In some update DTG removed the lighting timer curves from the streetlight blueprints, so I put in new ones.

It also brightens up many streetlamps so they're similar to those I built in the BCC lighting and foliage mod. Note that this mod DOES NOT add extra lights to routes*. Whilst that would be possible it's outside the scope of this project.

*As a bonus I added the ability to pick snowy weather in Great Western Express in December & January. (Note DTG didn't add snow textures to station platforms, so just imagine the platform staff did a great job with the ice-melt.)

Some platform lighting timers cannot be altered, maybe those on SEH, MGP & PFR as they installed some other method of detecting daylight. It doesn't really work well.

LIRR got added on 13 May 24, *the mod also adds lights to the West Side Yard, Jamaica and Long Island City districts
