Please read the changelog for important information
NOTE | This mod has grown to be far bigger than I ever expected (over 100,000 downloads which is crazy!) and it had become increasingly difficult to keep track of. After a couple of requests along these lines, I've now made the decision to bring it back into a single mod. You must delete all previous elements of this mod for it to function correctly.
This mod is intended for use with TSW5 only and I cannot, and will not, guarentee it works with TSW4 any longer
If anyone has noticed a unit I've not looked at with light and/or LOD issues let me know & I'll take a look
Changelog
New additions - 23/01/2024
- DB BR 111 | Salzburg - Rosenheim | Improved the headlights. Brings this unit to the same spec as Frankfurt Fulda
- MBTA F40PH-3C | Boston - Worcester | Significantly reduced the brightness of this locos headlights as they were set to an absolute comedy value. Most correctly set headlights in the game are generally in the tens of thousands of lumens, prior to this mod the headlight brightness on this unit was set to 4,000,000 (4 million!) lumens which, in my opinion made it almost unusable. They are now set to a much more realistic level
- EMD F125 & Rotem Cabcars | San Bernadino | LOD and attenuation radius fix for the headlights on both units. Now the same spec as the Antelope Valley version
Latest Updates - 23/01/2024 - Update 2
- ScotRail Class 170 | Fife Circle | Added the missing assetreg fix which I'd mistakenly ommitted
- Class 700 | South Eastern Highspeed | Made compatible with DTG's 21/01/25 update
- MBTA F40PH-3C | Boston - Worcester | Re the above 'new addition', the lights were still too bright with the hindsight of further testing so the've had their intensity reduced yet further

- 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

- MBTA F40PH-3C | Boston - Worcester | Significantly reduced the brightness of this locos headlights as they were set to an absolute comedy value. Most correctly set headlights in the game are generally in the tens of thousands of lumens, prior to this mod the headlight brightness on this unit was set to 4,000,000 (4 million!) lumens which, in my opinion made it almost unusable. They are now set to a much more realistic level
- EMD F125 & Rotem Cabcars | San Bernadino | LOD and attenuation radius fix for the headlights on both units. Now the same spec as the Antelope Valley version
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 not currently compatible with Arans 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

is the 700 this one? !!!JetWash-Laika-TSW4-Class700CarriageLights-OrangePIS.pak ?
Yes, that’s 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.
RABe 523 driveable at night no less! All your mods are amazing and reflect the huge work, enthusiasm and dedication you put in them. Many many thanks for it. And of course, wish you a happy new year!
Thankyou! Happy New Year to you too
Sorry to be a pain, do these individual files replace "!!!JetWash-TSW4-LightingLODFixes.pak" ?
Hey. Yep, apologies and it won’t change again, but remove any and all previous versions, stand alone or all-in-one
Do we remove JetWash-TSW4-Class700CarriageLights.pak?
Hey. Yep, apologies and it won’t change again, but remove any and all previous versions, stand alone or all-in-one
from seperate mods to single to seperate mods again lol
It won’t change again, don’t worry!
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’ll have a look. Increasing LODs on ToDv3 trains is tricky (slash impossible) but you never know. I’ll have a look next time I get chance. Which route is that?
Kassel-Würzburg (KWG, as said), it's actually a TOD4 route/train, so it shouldn't be that bad I guess :)
Sorry, I’m away and read it quickly on my phone. Will take at look when I get back. Thanks.
Fixed for you in the latest version
thank you! appreciate it :)
If there are any others let me know 😇
not at the moment, and luckily the other two ICE 3s don't have the same issue, but I will let you know if I discover another too short headlight LOD :)
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!
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’ll have a look at the 628 but don’t own the Railbow ICE3 so can’t do anything on that one unfortunately.
Rainbow ICE3. Let it die
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.
Do these work in TSW3 as well?
I'm don't think they will unfortunately although you could give it a try. If they don't just remove the .pak file.
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.
Thanks a lot for the new additions! You're an amazing hard worker! Many many thanks!
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.
Sorted! ;-)
Now it's perfect! That was quick, sir! Thanks again for your amazing hard work! You are amazing!
Thank you so much for pursuing my suggestion of adding it for the 72 stock, the lights seemed way too bright and unnatural so this mod really helps my immersion! :D
No worries. Sorry it took me so long to get around to it!
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.
And here is the picture of what it looks like if I have high beams selected. https://imgur.com/a/txSwrPX
I’ll have another look at it when I next get chance. Remember I recommend adding a touch of Volumetric Fog when driving at night.
Yes, if there is fog, somehow the whole scenery becomes illuminated. I understand the options might be very limited...
I’ve done something with it, will likely upload today
Thank you. Will give it a try.
Can i put all the pak files into one single dlc folder?
There is one DLC folder, all mod .pak files go in there.
When I use the F125 LOD fix, it reverts CabCam improvements back to the default camera position.
JetWash I guess doesn't care about the US side. I asked if there will be more then just this one. No answer.
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.
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.
Just a note: and thanks for your work.. With the upgrade from Glasgow Cathcart circle to TSW4 lighting !!!JetWash-TSW4-Class314-Headlight does not work. The windows are no longer transparent
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?
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.

Fixed 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
thanks for 380 mod
No problem
Great Thanks for the 380 !
No problem
Hi JetWash,
Can you check the 380 Mod? They have a conflict with the Spikee CabCam mod for the 380! Its a conflict there. Thanks!
Done
Thanks :))))
JetWash, you will make a Enhancement Pack for WCML? with the real LNWR branding on the trains and stations? just like you did with the Island Line 2022, where you put the real SWR livery on the trains
I didn’t 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)
All mods work with TSW5 as it’s the same game as TSW4.
Is there a plan to do more US routes or just AVL (Antelope Valley)?
Does This --> !!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-Class710.pak 43 KB · Added 16 hours ago · Downloaded 172× -> LU 72 Stock | WCMLS | An update to improve the interior lights. On reflection they were too dark, this update increases the brightness to prototypical levels

Or Both are still needed? I understand it states interior lights but just checkikng.
Sorry, I don't understand a word of that!

The above files are both needed? Apologies if I confused ya.
Or does one replace the other?
They’re different units. One is the Class 710, the other the 72 stock London Underground train.
Been up all night my error, I meant to ask about the
!!!JetWash-TSW4-Class170Lights.pak
and
!!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-Class710.pak
Sorry about that.
It’s ok. Same again though, one is for the Class 170 (Scotrail), the other is for the Goblin & WCMLS Class 710.
okay, thank you for the info. 👍
Thank you for these. Would it be possible to have these in an all-in-one PAK file? My DLC folder is jammed to the gunwales and it's getting hard to keep track of all the great mods I'm using.
Got a CTD with the Class 465 and this mod. No problems without it...
Can't re-create it I'm afraid, it loads fine for me with no CTD
Sorry Jetwash, just to confirm, we're now removing the Pendilino 390, class 710 & class 72 pak files?
Yes if you intend to use the WCMLS enhancement pack, no if you don't want to use the pack but want to keep the fixes. :)
Thanks ResurrectorRTX, I'd taken a punt anyway, and disabled them.
You should leave those files for WCMLS trains as most PCs may not handle your mod and may use them as an alternative for lightinng
I'm not physically removing the files, I'm just disabling in the TSW Mod manager :p
Hello : With the new Fife circle update, problem with your class 170 light : the passengers are standing in the train..
Thank's for all your patch..
Denis (France)
Is it just me or is there no mod for the 390 in the list of downloads ?
It's included in the WCMLS Enhancement Pack now.
Hi. With a recent DLC is much easier (cheaper...) now to get the DB BR 111 loco. But unfortunately it has almost no headlights, making it impossible to drive at night... Perhaps a little bit of your magic there... Not a request; of course only if you've got the time and mood. Would be nice! Thanks for all your work!
Yeah, sure. I’ll take a look next chance I get
Many thanks! You're great! Thank you again! And of course, have a happy new year!
Done. Happy New Year
Thank you so much!! A nice New Year's Eve present for all! Thanks again, and a really happy New Year!
Could we see one ofr the class 313 and 323 in the future?
hi,
Just want to thank you !! the little BR628 is one of my favorite but the headlights were so poor that i didn't want to drive at night and i couldn't see the speed limit signals (i play in immersive mode)
Huge improvement ! Thanks for you work, if it's amazing with others locos, it will be great.
Could be really nice too getting the headlights you've made for the FTF BR111 working in the SRM's one. It unfortunately has the same issue that the FTF's had before your work. Now, with your mod, is possible to drive perfectly in "inmersive mode" at night, because you can see the signals, really essential for PZB use. Only if you feel on the mood and have the time, never a request of course. Thank you sooo much!
Sorry for the request concerning SRM 111, because there's a mod around here that gives nice headlight to it Simply, it was not compatible with another mod I had installed. Once deleted, it works perfectly. Thanks again for your nice work!
Will see what I can do
Many thanks for the update and for the SRM 111 fix! You're great sir! Thanks again!
No problem. If there are any other units let me know & I can add them to the mod.
Hi Jetwash just to let you know the most recent class 700 update has messed up the !!!JetWash-TSW4-Class700Lights.pak mod.
Here's a screenshot. I know it is this mod causing as I removed every mod and readded them one by one, then when it happened removed every other mod but that one.
Screenshot
I'll fix it today. I've a few updates and new stuff to put up so will include it with that. Thanks for letting me know.

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.
