UK Route Vegetation & Grass EP TSW3

FOR TSW4 See https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world/c19-patches/i3963-route-vegetation-grass-ep-tsw4

This mod swaps older style foliage, vegetation and grass to the newer style introduced by DTG in Peak Forest in most older UK routes.
These foliage textures have much improved level of detail (LODs). The grasses are more dense, lush and have a greater draw distance.
Some terrain grass and embankment textures have been replaced to match the colour of the new grasses.

• You MUST have TSW3 and Peak Forest installed!
• Ensure you DO NOT have any UK Material Mod paks installed, as those mods unfortunately kill procedural grasses placed on ballast textures.

The mod will affect (transform hopefully!) these UK routes:

Birmingham Cross-City Line
Brighton Main Line: London Victoria - Brighton
Cathcart Circle Line: Glasgow - Newton & Neilston
East Coastway: Brighton - Eastbourne & Seaford
Great Western Express
Midland Main Line: Leicester - Derby & Nottingham
Northern Trans-Pennine: Manchester - Leeds
ScotRail Express: Edinburgh - Glasgow
Southeastern Highspeed
Spirit of Steam: Liverpool Lime Street - Crewe
Tees Valley Line: Darlington – Saltburn-by-the-Sea
West Cornwall Local: Penzance - St Austell & St Ives
West Somerset Railway
Bakerloo Line
Manchester - Hadfield / Glossop

NB: If you are using foliage.LODDistanceScale >1 in an engine.ini edit, to avoid any over-dithered distant trees (leaves become semi-transparent) then ensure you also set r.ViewDistanceScale to a matching value. Try =3 for both.

Requirements

Peak Forest Railway: Ambergate - Chinley & Buxton
