Description
This mod replaces older style TSW2&3 vegetation and grass with something similar to the newer style introduced by DTG in TSW4
These foliage materials & textures have much improved level of detail (LODs). The grasses are more dense, lush and have a greater draw distance when linked with the draw distance commands in engine.ini
Some terrain grass and embankment textures have been replaced to match the colour of the new grasses.
We have deliberately excluded larger trees from this pack.
Various UK, DE & US routes are supported.
Files Updated 13 Oct 24 for TSW5 and combined into a single pak

Requirements
No requirements other than TSW5.
Installation Instructions
Unzip the contents of the zip to your TSW5 DLC folder.
Additional Comments
To get the most out of the pack, you need to do one of two things. Either use Jetwash's Lighting and Graphic Overhaul (https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world/c105-ini-tweaks/i3889-tsw4-lighting-graphic-enhancement-version-35) which means you don't need to do anything as this is already set up for you or, if you don't use it, you should ensure that these values are higher than 1 in your main engine.ini . I'd recommend a value of 3
r.ViewDistanceScale=3
foliage.LODDistanceScale=3
If you cannot afford a r.ViewDistanceScale which is >1, then leave the value as 1. Use grass.CullDistanceScale=2 instead. This will double the default grass draw distance and provide a smooth fade out.
Your engine.ini file can be found in Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld4\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEdit

Thank you. Very useful mods for rejuvenating old roads.
Many thanks! I am glad you made this TSW4 since this makes such a huge difference especially on older routes
Good job !
Many thanks for bringing this to TSW4, been badly missed!
This is wonderul. You are a legend. One question, Have you cooked it with the editor?
Thanks! Not the official one, no. Mix of the old unofficial editor (which works ) and other stuff.
Will you also make a pack that include the peak forest trees models?
Probably no - as we can't directly use those due to the addon-manager blocking the materials, and they tend to go transparent if you can't push the scenery distance right up.
Saudações Condutores!!!
Então, fico feliz por trabalhos como este... muito bom mesmo, dar vida ao Simulator.
O que mais me deixa impresionado, é os desenvolvedores cobrar tão caro por um Simulator "jogo" e suas DLC's, e nao fazerem um cenários compatÃvel a ferrovia e seus trains. E vem pessoas muito das vezes leigas, e criam algo tao melhor que os desenvolvedores do jogo. Parabéns meu caro, pelo seu trabalho. Bom, e nao adianta vir com estória que vai ficar pesado... porque a maioria dos PC's hoje em dia suporta confortavelmente.
according to hey.txt. Munich-Aachen is a thing? :D
Did I mean Muenchen Augsburg or Köln Aachen though :D
Thanks for this beautiful mode !
a question: with the new wsr I imagine that" !!BescotJetwash-GroundfoliageEP_WSR" should no longer be used?
I’m not sure to be honest. I’ve used the route with it installed and not had an issue, it probably needs testing without though.
It seems fine with or without but I suggest removing it, yes.
Thanks for your answer !
missing LOD3/4 foilage on
ska gcc
Which location is that please? Don't know what gcc means.
Cathcart Circle Line: Glasgow - Newton & Neilston
can you fix ska
I hate to be that guy. Is there a way you could possibly do OSD for this? It would put so much potential into that old route.
Please advise where the lines:
r.ViewDistanceScale=3
foliage.LODDistanceScale=3
should be placed in the engine.ini file.
Thank you.
Cheers, much appreciated.
I don't know if it's just coincidence, but I and another user had crashes on BPE (Boston - Providence) that was solved by removing !!BescotJetwash-GroundfoliageEP_BPE.pak.
Hopefully fixed now. Thanks for the heads up
Thanks @Bescot. I'll test it soon.
I've had this crash twice today, midway between Route 128 and Providence. The recent Dovetail update to BP might mean I have to remove this mod for this to stop happening on that updated release? Will test.

Edit: Tested without the mod, in free roam southbound from Route 128, and got within 15 miles of Providence, so it does seem to still be an issue with the updated route.
Can you update this for TSW5?
It works in TSW5, most mods do as it's the same game
Any chance for an update for the new Frankfurt route?
thx in advance.
TSW5 routes already have the new foliage so this mod will not be updated
Is ECML required if I never had TSW4 and I have TSW5 via the free upgrade pack?
thx for update
Cheers for updating
Great ! thanks a lot for this update for TSW5 !
Thx 4 update and for ur incredible work !!
Does this Mod still work with TSW4 or is it now exclusiv for TSW5?
