Well here we are with a comprehensive EP for Fife Circle.

First the REALLY important stuff:

1. This will ONLY really work with Fawx's Fife Circle 2024 timetable. Don't ask - but due to Addon-Bleeping-Manager it won't work in Rivet's timetable.
2. Delete the old Bescot-C170-FCL.pak & Bescot-FCLE2G.pak files

Changes:

Route:

• Extensive addition and reworking of grasses and vegetation. Requires Blackpool DLC and FAWX'S 2024 TIMETABLE. Covers the Fife route, also Haymarket to Linlithgow and Linlithgow to Dalmeny.
• Addition of lineside fencing, and inappropriate US style fencing swapped out
• New pink scottish ballast and track
• Graffiti thinned out to remove when inappropriate
• Lighting adjustments; timers, brightness and colour of emitted lighting for stations and streets. Extra lighting added to Waverley area, Haymarket, Airport & Murrayfield stadium
• Lighting added to the Forth road bridge with navigation lighting
• Branded signage: Scotrail, Costa, Sainsbury's etc.
• Fife coastal path signage on stations.
• Replacement textures for vehicles
• Realistic Scotrail station announcements
• Bagpiper changed for more talented street musicians, sound volume reduced
• Reverb sound volume through tunnels reduced so not to deafen you in the HST
• Missing powerlines added
• Static level crossing gates and fencing added where missing (hopefully a temporary measure)
• Main runway and aircraft placed at airport
• Additional overhead line equipment on tramlines
• Container ships on the Fife
• Scenery is work in progress: more clutter, lights, vehicles and pedestrians to be added. Airport to be completed (assets permitting)
• Other adjustments such as platform surfaces, cable troughing, hanging ivy

Class 170:

• New internal and external PIS font
• New realistic announcements *Not currently not working in 2024 timetable mod
• New PA chime
• New headlight and marker light visuals
• New buzzer sound. Thanks to Dan/GBRf66715
• Balance of cab audio, engine and run sounds, more bassy engine note
• Removed click and pops from the internal engine audio
• Replacement head/tail light textures
• Replacement cab gauge and button lighting textures
• Headlight LOD improved
• Cab and notice board lighting intensity lowered
• Interior saloon lighting brightness reduced

Other (Requires ECML 801 and GWR HST):

• Drivable Class 43 formations in custom ScotRail skins including internal seating and carpets, and cab texture replacements. A few variations in power car numbering.
• Drivable Class 800 (converted from 801)
• Lumo Class 803 train for AI only towards King's Cross in Fawx's timetable.

With huge thanks to Tom Hill for the base for the HST and Lumo skins

Caveats:

The internal Scotrail parts are placed on the GWR version of the HST. If you need to remove them to drive GWE, please rename or move the main EP Pak from your DLC. This was due to a limitation with the materials in the editor.

Any odd signalling behaviour is down to Rivet to fix, we cannot change those bugs.

Lighting over the Forth Rail Bridge is really quite bright. We haven't touched that, or been able to change it so far.

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

foliage.LODDistanceScale=3
grass.CullDistanceScale=3

Your engine.ini file can be found in Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld4\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Note: When driving the 800 north of Haymarket you need to be in diesel mode!

• with drivers key in, start diesel engines.
• lower the pantograph if already raised.
• select diesel mode.

Note: The scenery layer will not load in Rivets OG timetable or Free roam. Only if you load in via the 2024 TT mod.
