This mod replaces older style vegetation and grass with something similar to the newer style introduced by DTG in ECML
These foliage materials & textures have much improved level of detail (LODs). The grasses are more dense, lush and have a greater draw distance when linked with the draw distance commands in engine.ini
Some terrain grass and embankment textures have been replaced to match the colour of the new grasses.
We have deliberately excluded larger trees from this pack.
Various UK, DE & US routes are supported. This project is still in development, and more routes will be supported when we have time.
German files updated 27 Jan 24 - Fixed a MI problem with some distant billboards for MSB
UK files updated 16 Feb 24 - Fixed a glitch with flowers on TPE, GCC & ECW. Removed WSR from files; no longer required due to DTG Liam's epic Remaster
German files updated 03 Nov 23 - Fixed a MI problem with distant billboards for Hawthorn bushes
Requirements
No requirements other than TSW4.
Installation Instructions
Unzip the contents of the zip to your TSW4 DLC folder.
Presently each route has its own pak file, this is to make updating easier whilst this mod is being further developed.
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
r.ViewDistanceScale=3
foliage.LODDistanceScale=3
If you cannot afford a r.ViewDistanceScale
which is >1, then leave the value as 1. Use grass.CullDistanceScale=2
instead. This will double the default grass draw distance and provide a smooth fade out.
Your engine.ini file can be found in Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld4\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEdit

Thank you. Very useful mods for rejuvenating old roads.
Many thanks! I am glad you made this TSW4 since this makes such a huge difference especially on older routes
Good job !
Many thanks for bringing this to TSW4, been badly missed!
This is wonderul. You are a legend. One question, Have you cooked it with the editor?
Thanks! Not the official one, no. Mix of the old unofficial editor (which works ) and other stuff.
Will you also make a pack that include the peak forest trees models?
Probably no - as we can't directly use those due to the addon-manager blocking the materials, and they tend to go transparent if you can't push the scenery distance right up.
Saudações Condutores!!!
Então, fico feliz por trabalhos como este... muito bom mesmo, dar vida ao Simulator.
O que mais me deixa impresionado, é os desenvolvedores cobrar tão caro por um Simulator "jogo" e suas DLC's, e nao fazerem um cenários compatível a ferrovia e seus trains. E vem pessoas muito das vezes leigas, e criam algo tao melhor que os desenvolvedores do jogo. Parabéns meu caro, pelo seu trabalho. Bom, e nao adianta vir com estória que vai ficar pesado... porque a maioria dos PC's hoje em dia suporta confortavelmente.
according to hey.txt. Munich-Aachen is a thing? :D
Did I mean Muenchen Augsburg or Köln Aachen though :D
Thanks for this beautiful mode !
a question: with the new wsr I imagine that" !!BescotJetwash-GroundfoliageEP_WSR" should no longer be used?
I’m not sure to be honest. I’ve used the route with it installed and not had an issue, it probably needs testing without though.
It seems fine with or without but I suggest removing it, yes.
Thanks for your answer !
missing LOD3/4 foilage on
ska gcc
Which location is that please? Don't know what gcc means.
Cathcart Circle Line: Glasgow - Newton & Neilston
can you fix ska
I hate to be that guy. Is there a way you could possibly do OSD for this? It would put so much potential into that old route.
Please advise where the lines:
r.ViewDistanceScale=3
foliage.LODDistanceScale=3
should be placed in the engine.ini file.
Thank you.
