Hey guys! Your favourite signal enhancement pack is now out and ready to use for the new release of Train Sim World 5! There have been some slight changes compared to the older TSW 4 version, which includes brand new signal lens visuals, as well as more accurate aspect colours.
PLEASE REMOVE AND/OR DO NOT PLACE THE OLDER TSW 4 SIGNAL E.P MOD INTO THE TSW 5 DLC FOLDER, AS IT IS OUTDATED AND INCOMPATIBLE
TSW 4 British routes ONLY:
- Brand new high-resolution signal textures
- Brand new signal emissive visuals (brighter looking light source coming from the signals)
- Brand new signal emissive colours (more colour accurate reds, yellows and greens)
- Brand new lens flare visuals (much more realistic looking, with the old low-resolution variant replaced)
- Brand new lens flare brightness (much brighter from a distance, especially so at night)
- Significantly increased lens flare render distance, especially so at night (lens flares can now be seen from MUCH further away)
- New lens flare behaviour (the flare size responds to the distance away from it in a much more realistic way. It no longer 'grows' unrealistically)

For me the signal lights are phasing through objects... Any fix?
Hi, unfortunately not. Sorry about that.
Thats unfortunate, but thanks for the reply :)

Ngl, the yellows look a bit too orange and can easily be confused with red...
I find the same sometimes, which is a shame as otherwise this mod is excellent.
Agree that needs to be changed if possible, other then that this mod is great
Hi. I made these to look intentionally very orange as this is how the yellow aspects look in real life. The default were too much of a yellow banana colour in my opinion.
These will be staying as they are.
londonmidland, I hope you will be open to a little advice from someone who works in video game development, and hopefully reconsider this decision.
One of the biggest challenges in game development is striking a balance between authenticity to real life and making sure the experience is accessible and fun for players.
While a more "orange" hue to the aspect might be strictly authentic to reality, a video game being displayed on a monitor that does not accurately replicate the level of detail colour accuracy or range of colour perception that exists in reality, is also a factor.
In terms of gameplay, this is a key gameplay mechanic. If it is hard to tell what the signal aspect is, then it detracts from the gameplay experience, it is no longer fun.
I agree with other feedback I have seen here and elsewhere that the yellow and red signal aspects are difficult to differentiate, and I feel the same way. I would implore you to consider slightly loosening the strict adherence to reality in consideration for the gameplay experience.
