Description

Hello!

This mod enhances the scenery of the DTG TSW 6 Core Route Dresden - Leipzig!

I've focussed my work on certain areas, some of these are:

Enhancing the scenery and lighting in Dresden Hbf and Leipzig Hbf
Enhancing the night lighting on most stations along the route
Enhancing the vegetation, especially putting grass in there where there was only a green 2D texture.
Certain stations like Coswig also got a wider scenery overhaul
The area around Dresden-Mitte now has roadmarks
I've added some dioramas along the route like a wedding, the unloading of a narrow gauge coach, people sitting on their terraces
I've added a big amount of trainspotters. Feel free to honk at them!
Placing lots of traffic signs.
Enhancing lots of construction sites
And much more eastereggs for you to discover.

Some of these enhacements are done in a realistic way (e.g. I've used google street view). And some areas are just done in a "artistic" way.

Big thanks to Profile picture of Manny Manny and Profile picture of GER/JUSI Lp GER/JUSI Lp from the Profile picture of Bahnpfuschhochschule Bahnpfuschhochschule for helping me with the editor. And special thanks to Profile picture of Foobian Foobian as well!

Requirements

Dresden - Leipzig
Dresden - Riesa
S-Bahn Frankfurt (very important!)
Frankfurt - Fulda
Niddertalbahn
Salzburg - Rosenheim
Main-Spessart Bahn
Hamburg - Lübeck

Technically speaking, the mod seems to work even if you don't own all the DLCs. But it might be that then some assets won't load, so the scenery won't look like intended (e.g. flying objects).

Installation Instructions

Add the .pak file to you DLC-Folder.
In game, you have to activate the overlay in the mastery settings. There you should find the Dresden-Leipzig Scenery Enhancement.
