Description

TSW Route Annotations holds a DB of various geographical locations (stations, bridges, tunnels, rivers..etc) for TSW routes and shows their names as an overlay when you’re passing by them. Akin to how IRL Cab videos are usually annotated. So the places we’re passing by in our virtual train are no longer nameless.

Quite a sizable part of TSW routes has already been annotated, 46 routes, and 1262 various locations. The build in editor can be used to mark your own location and then export / import them.

Version 3.0 - 13th October - Live Weather
The application can now also modify TSW weather, and by utilizing the https://open-meteo.com/ free API it can download current or historic weather for the players location and apply it ingame.
The overlay functionality can be disabled, if you are only interested in live weather.

Version 2.0 - 8th October
Brings automatic API Detection for TSW 6. Should auto-update for existing users.

Source code is available at GitLab.

Installation Instructions

Prerequisites

  • Supports Steam and EPIC versions with automatic API Key detection. Windows Store version requires to manually enter the API key (check the Wiki).
  • TSW needs to be run in Windowed Fullscreen or in windowed mode (Exclusive Fullscreen doesn't work).
  • TSW needs to be run with its HTTP API Enabled

Installation
Download the attached .msi installer, install and run.
Newest version is always available at the project's gitlab page:

Additional Comments

  • The application has an autoupdate functionality, so it will try to connect to the network to check if a newer version is available.
  • TSW exposes the camera location, so moving the external camera will trigger the point detection.
