New additions - 30/09/2024

  • Class 710 | WCMLS & Goblin | For an unknown reason this mod was not working in TSW5 correctly. I have now remade it and it appears to be working once again

Latest Updates - 02/10/2024

  • Class 390 Pendolino | WCMLS | An update to fix the day headlight as per the night, as well as match the intensity levels of both

Full List of Modded Units

  • Class 801 Azuma | East Coast Mainline | Reduced the cab light intensity to usable levels, reduced the carriage interiors to a more realistic intensity, improved headlight throw distance as well as softened the tone
  • Class 700 | South Eastern Highspeed | Reduced the cab light intensity, significantly reduced the intensity of the carriage interior lights. Fixed the headlight LOD issue that caused the lights of trains to spontaneously appear right in front of you
  • Class 142 | Preston Blackpool | Increased the LOD of the interior passengers. A work-in-progress as there is a core issue involved, but better than it was
  • Class 314 | Cathcart Circle | Increased the attenuation radius and brightness slightly of the headlight
  • BR103 | Left Rhine | Improved the headlight draw distance and brightness
  • RABe 523 | Lucerne - Sursee | Improved draw distance of the headlights and fixed the headlight LOD issue
  • ICE 3 | Kassel - Wurzburg | Fixed the headlight LOD in the same way as the Class700, with the lights now visible from a realistic distance
  • Class 385 | Edinburgh - Glasgow | Fixed the headlight LOD as above
  • DB BR 628 | Niddertalbahn | Increased attenuation and intensity somewhat to throw a realistic amount of light ahead of the cab
  • 1972 Tube Stock | Bakerloo Line | Added a fix to significantly reduce the intensity of the saloon lights to realistic levels
  • Class 465 | South Eastern High Speed | Fixed the headlight LOD and reduced the intensity of the bugged and 'always on' cab light to make it less jarring and more realistic
  • OBB 4024 Talent 1 | Voralberg | Increased the headlight intensity to make night driving a much more rewarding and realistic experience
  • BR Class 314 | Glasgow Cathcart Circle | Increased the headlight intensity to make night driving a much more rewarding and realistic experience
  • RhB ABe 8/12 Allegra and RhB EW1 Coach | Bernia Line | Improves the headlight intensity and LOD (too short, yet again!), the cab light and the passenger saloon lights for both the unit itself and the EW1 coach
  • EMD F125 & Rotem Cabcars | Antelope Valley | LOD fix for the headlights on both these units. Compatible with Spikee1975's cab-cam mod
  • DB BR 143 | Dresden - Riesa | Headlight LOD fixes and increased intensity
  • LUL 72 Stock | Bakerloo Line | Increased the brightness of the headlights on the LUL72Stock to make them more realistic
  • Railpool BR 193 Vectron | Voralberg | Fixed the headlight LOD pop-in
  • Class 710 | Goblin Line | Reduced the intensity of the headlights on the Class 710 as they are unrealistically bright by default
  • Class 170 | Fife Circle | Fixed the headlight LOD (yet again), reduced the intensity of the cab light and significantly reduced the intensity of the noticeboard light. Reduced the intensity of the saloon lighting as it was far too stark and bright
  • Class 43 HST | Midland Mainline | Fixed to be compatible with the latest patch and increased the intensity of the headlights. Compatible with Spikee1975's cab-cam mod
  • ScotRail Class 158 | Skyhook Games | Added a fix to subtly increase the brightness of this units headlights. Compatible with Spikee1975's CabCam mod
  • Class 380 | Cathcart Circle | Increased the attenuation radius and intensity of the headlights as well as increasing the LOD distance making them visible at greater distances. Compatible with Spikee1975's cab-cam mod
  • Class 72 Stock | WCMLS | Reduced the excessive brightness of the saloon lighting and increased the strength of the headlights
  • Class 390 Pendolino | WCMLS | Reduced the intensity of the cab light. Fixed the headlights to actually provide illumination and also fixed the default issue that was causing the headlight to disappear when the train tilted

This includes and is compatible with Laika's Orange PIS fix where appropriate. Huge thanks to Laika for helping make it compatible. The Class 801 is compatible with Aran's PIS mod

NOTE The passengers and/or the lighting on some of the units have been set up incorrectly by DTG. With no mods installed, at night, the passengers are just pitch black outlines of characters. Unfortunately this isn't fixable via a mod and where you see it with this installed is default behaviour

Requirements

Highly Recommended & designed to work with this mod

Vital, and required to utilise the corrected camera views

Just for clarification - what pre-existind mods need to be removed before using this one?

The 700 lighting fix and Class 801 lighting fix. Hope that helps.

Yes, that鈥檚 the one. Sorry to change the format but I can imagine it could fast get out of control with a number of small mods. It makes much more sense to roll them into one.

hey, could you perhaps make the light cone from the KWG ICE 3 render when farther away? it disappears when not even 100 meters away, it really sucks!

I鈥檒l have a look. Increasing LODs on ToDv3 trains is tricky (slash impossible) but you never know. I鈥檒l have a look next time I get chance. Which route is that?

Avatar of Myron
Myron 31 Dec 2023

Kassel-W眉rzburg (KWG, as said), it's actually a TOD4 route/train, so it shouldn't be that bad I guess :)

For me at least, Niddertalbahn TSG 628 has really short light cones. Would be nice to have it fixed, specially after that route has become usable thanks to your ini settings mod! Thank you so much!

Avatar of Myron
Myron 2 Jan 2024

well actually there is the Railbow ICE 3 but I am not sure if it's worth it as I plan on making an ICE 3 enhancement pack in the future which may or may not also include a Railbow/rainbow livery variant, where the KWG version would pick up the LOD fix from the mod aswell, I hope. we'll see.

I鈥檒l have a look at the 628 but don鈥檛 own the Railbow ICE3 so can鈥檛 do anything on that one unfortunately.

Don't need the Railbow ICE 3 DLC anymore anyways as Nagiphaaa is working on implementing that in the next version of her ICE 3 Enhancement Pack, as she revealed. I agree, the DLC itself isn't that great/accurate. Luckily we'll have a better alternative for it sooner or later.

I'm don't think they will unfortunately although you could give it a try. If they don't just remove the .pak file.

Dinosbacsi 4 Jan 2024

Yeah, they don't seem to work in TSW3 sadly. Tried the BR628 headlight mod and the game crashed instantly when trying to load the BR628 :(

Big sad, would be nice to be able to see at night on the Niddertalbahn.

Hi! Perhaps it's me or my graphics configuration, but I find Glasgow Cathcart Circle Series 314 too short and weak in its headlight cone. Maybe IRL was like modelled in game, but personally I find it a little uncomfortable to drive at night compared to other same age UK units. Would appreciate your comments. Thanks a lot.

Hello there! Thank you for all your fantastic work. I am quite new at this, so have to ask... Is it actually impossible to make outside things visible at night when headlights are on? I still see pitch black outside in front of me e.g. in OBB4024 at night. Yes, some poles are illuminated and when headlights set to "Bright", I can see railroad 10 m in front of me, but that's it. The rest is pitch black. Is that the limitation what the mod can do? Thank you for the answer.

I鈥檒l have another look at it when I next get chance. Remember I recommend adding a touch of Volumetric Fog when driving at night.

Avatar of Broskev

Yes, if there is fog, somehow the whole scenery becomes illuminated. I understand the options might be very limited...

JetWash I guess doesn't care about the US side. I asked if there will be more then just this one. No answer.

Avatar of JetWash

What are you talking about? There are many mods for the US content already. I haven't seen the same issues on that content either. I can't fix what isn't broken. I'm also busy and do this as a hobby, so get back in your box.

Omonyo 27 Jun 2024

The new Class 218 is really a nice loco, but I'm sure it would be even nicier if you could do your magic on it... Of course only if you have the time and the mood, and you think like i do that lighting for this mainly well done work is not optimized. No request at all. Thanks for your impressive work! For me your mods are essential and absolutely game changers.

I will have a look at it. With the TOD4 change it may well no longer be needed. How is the headlight brightness etc with the default train?

Avatar of OleDre
OleDre 12 Jul 2024

If and when you have the time and it can be fixed, the one mod for the 314 is broken again causing the Iced Window Effect. I put this together, to let people know and maybe assist in showing how I figured out what was causing this issue.

I didn鈥檛 do anything for the Island Line. It is highly likely there will be a mod for WCMLS although I cannot say when.

Quick question for TSW5 do we just download the

!!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-72Stock.pak
!!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-Class390Pendolino.pak

or do we also need the other 3 ?

TSW 5 | Lighting & Graphic Enhancement v1.01
TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One

because the following one has not been updated from the looks of it for TSW5

UK Rolling Stock Orange PIS Fix (TSW4 Compatible)
