Ogólnie super efekt, ale brakuje mi dwóch rzeczy: bardziej intensywnego deszczu i burzy. Krople na szybie są, ale jest ich tak mało, że nawet bez wycieraczek można jeździć bez problemu. Kilkanaście razy miałem też okazję jeździć w gorszej pogodzie i ani razu nie spotkałem burzy, one się zdarzają? Chyba, że tylko u mnie jest z tym jakiś problem, ale z modów graficznych mam tylko PNG, z którego pakietów pogodowych nie wrzucałem, więc nie zakładam, żeby to powodowało problem

Hey Angus. I just tried PUW 2.5, with PNG, Snowymoon. IT IS SOOO AMAZING! The new version is much better than the previous ones, it feels so real! Drove on the spanish motorways in the evening. I recommend checking out Quper Simulator Mega Mods Pack and Mega Map Combo on boosty. Amazing mods collection, trucks, atmosphere, companies, overall experience. Thank you very much for your hard work, i will never regret buying your work on Patreon.❤️❤️🔥

How can I get the colors to tone to look like your screenshots? Is it as simple as just using PUW & PUR or are there other mods and setting to use? I can't seem to ever get the same picture. PS, I have 4080 Super and OLED monitor.

P
Project Ultimate · October 2, 2026

Hey, thw exact look in the pics is the RealCam 3.5 with PUW 2.5 and its snowymoon config for lighting D. Might look a but too saturated on an oled, so i would advise the saturation down a bit if its too much

Mrs Approved Budget · October 2, 2026

Up to now it's the best weather mod you've made.

Lucky Gaming · October 1, 2026

What if you're running JBX 3 & PNG? Do I need to remove the weather file from JBX as well?

P

Yes correct

Hey, yes you ca combine PNG Textures with PUW 2.5

Legendkiller456 · September 29, 2026

Hey do you usually run North Experience PNG with your mods or do you feel it's not needed with base PNG? This looks incredible and can't wait to check it out!

您好作者,PUW2.5与PNG的季节(秋季)是否兼容

P
Project Ultimate · September 29, 2026

Hey, it should be compatible with Png Autumn, however if you get pink skyboxes then the current PUW 2.5 weather def will not be compatible

John · September 29, 2026

Review - so i tried the PUW 2.5, i must say it looks much more natural then the previous versions. So i tried it with both real cam 3.5 and real eye neutral smooth, i noticed with real cam 3.5 the game was looking too much brighter for some reason, but the real eye reshade was better and more natural. There are moments when i feel the game looks a little washout, i am not sure the specific conditions which make it look like that, maybe its a combination of a certain weather and a skybox. Well its my opinion not a criticism i found puw 2.5 looks way better with real eye reshade. I am not sure about the snoymoon config that came with 2.5 PUW update but i did swap it . Also, this is optional but if your pc can handle also use dlss 5 on top of it, its real good especially in the new maps, there were times when i literally forgot that i was playing a game.

P
Project Ultimate · September 29, 2026

Hey, thank you a lot for the extensive feedback. Which kind of goes in par with what i think as well. With the new 2.5 update and further 3.0 the presets would have to be adjusted slightly.

D
Daryl Gonzales · September 28, 2026

Splendid! 🙌🙌

nan Tian · September 28, 2026

您好,作者。我现在正在使用您的puw加上PNG一套组合。但是我个人比较喜欢下雨天开车,喜欢电闪雷鸣的感觉,我不确定是因为地理位置的问题还是什么问题,看不到闪电,听 不到打雷声音。

P
Project Ultimate · September 28, 2026

Hey, thank you. There should be thunders on skybox 1 in rain, whilst less of it on skybox 2 and 3 for rain

R
Roel Heynen · September 28, 2026

It's amazing! I now use Snowymoon with it, what is the best way to decide which Snowymoon CFG is the best? Because in almost every bundle there is a file like that, are only the setting different, or is it way deeper than that? Because the settings between all files aren't that different, so it's hard to decide. I now use Snowymoon V2 without a reshade and the CFG file inside the Weather 2.5 bundle. What reshade can I put on top best now?

P
Project Ultimate · September 28, 2026

Hey, the snowymoon cfg attatched in the releases is always the latest config i use. And currently i use the RealCam 3.5 GoPro Presets

S
Speedyey · September 27, 2026

Looks really good! if I understand the comments correctly i need to remove PNG weather and PNG foggy weather, but how about PNG rain, can i use that mod with your weather mod or does weather 2.5 deal with the rain aswell?

P
Project Ultimate · September 27, 2026

Hey, thank you. Lately ive been using the RealCam 3.5 GoPro Sharp

Val Val · September 27, 2026

Can it be used with png and if so what is the load order?

P

Hey, you can load PNG as normal and only replace the weather files with PUW 2.5

K
Kris Krol · September 27, 2026

question is will it break my Reshade

P
Project Ultimate · September 27, 2026

Hey, it will not. As i would also recommed to use this with RealCa or RealEye reshade presets

Antony Wright · September 27, 2026

Hi, think I've asked this before 😅. If I'm using your mod with PNG, do I just use the PNG base mod and a png season addon??

P
Project Ultimate · September 27, 2026

Hey, yes correct base and seasons without weather

How is the mod order to run it with png, which weather files in the mod manager must I change ( complete png wheater or rain and spring idk ) have til now no wheelspray !

P
Project Ultimate · September 27, 2026

I would run this with PNG as normal with the exception of Weather and Rain addon and add PUW 2.5 on top of it

Project Ultimate · September 26, 2026

Hey, the easiest way is to load PNG as always, exclude the PNG Weather files and put PUW 2.5 on top of it

Luigi Maiorino · September 26, 2026

Hey, it works with the PNG Textures but the Weather is a Standalone mod

R
Roxou5 · September 26, 2026

Hi, I really like this update. I'd like to know if, in the next update, you could add a little more volume to the rain sound almost like Better Drop or if there's already a way to combine them in the meantime.

P
Project Ultimate · September 26, 2026

Hey, yes as the 3.0 will be a tottally a new mod built from ground up

Tamás Czéh · September 26, 2026

Hello! Overall, it looks really nice. It definitely has more contrast and the colors are richer, but beyond that, I honestly can’t see much difference between version 2.1 and 2.0. There’s also one thing I don’t quite understand: when it’s raining, why is the sun still shining at the same time? And why do we still have those fluffy, fair-weather clouds even when the weather is supposed to be bad? Back in the day, KASS created those dark, stormy clouds perfectly, and that’s something I still really miss to this day. I don’t know if this just doesn’t come across properly in the PNG screenshots, or if nobody really pays attention to this aspect anymore. That said, I really appreciate the effort you’re putting into this and the time and energy you’re investing in making the game more colorful and enjoyable. I hope you don’t take my opinion as criticism or an attack — that’s definitely not my intention. It’s just that, when it comes to realism, I still feel like there’s one small piece missing for me. :) Keep up the good work!

P
Project Ultimate · September 26, 2026

Hey, there is still limitations within the 2.xxx versions which will not be the case in the 3.0 as this will be a totally new weather mod build from ground up
