Description

So this started with me doing a little test to see whether I could add a single sign to the West Cornwall route using the Unofficial Editor, then it got a bit out of control :-)

This mod makes the following changes:

  • Adds more trackside vegetation to the St Ives branch
  • More hedges, fences and vegetation between Penzance and Redruth to avoid empty areas and open access to the track which is completely unrealistic in the UK.
  • Whistle boards provided at a realistic distance from level crossings (Tees Valley Line required)
  • A number of crossings have been improved to make them look more realistic, e.g. Trying to make the depicted automatic open crossing between Hayle and Camborne look more like the farm gate style crossing itwould have been in real life
  • A couple of missing foot crossings have been added
  • The missing gantries at Long Rock have been added (Tees Valley Line required)
  • At the site of the disused Maraizon station I have added a building to depict the old station building and also placed the camping coaches that would have been there in the 90s (West Somerset required)
  • The car stop markers have been changed to ones that are more plausible for the time period depicted
  • All tree stumps have been removed - I found them odd

Requirements

Whistle boards and gantries come from Tees Valley, the camping coaches come from West Somerset. If you don't have these DLCs the rest will still work though.

Additional Comments

Performance

Unlike texture swap mods this mod is actually adding large amounts of extra assets, therefore there is an impact on FPS. I have ran some performance tests and on my mid range system I saw a modest drop in FPS, for example when travelling from Lelant to Carbis Bay the minimum FPS dropped from 86 to 78. If you are already struggling to attain the desired FPS on this route this mod may not be advised.

West Cornwall Local Enhancement Pack

This mod works with the West Cornwall Local Enhancement Pack by SprattyHeath, not instead of, there is no problem with having both installed, I do this myself.
