PC Tsw 5 Enhancement | Lighting & Graphic Ep V2.3.0

It looks perfect in 4K, wow!!! When I render, my Premiere Pro sequence has the same settings as my OBS, just to keep the quality as close as possible. I do feel like rendering straight to .mp4 reduces the quality ever so slightly though. Do you usually render to that format or something else? I’ve been thinking about trying out other formats both when recording and exporting, just to see if there’s any noticeable improvement.

 

I always render in MP4. From what I understand it's what you tube recommends.
You could try MOV or MKV I suppose.
With DaVinci Resolve I'm only able to set the max bit-rate when encoding in VBR, so I've set that to 150K.
(Before today I always used CBR at 180K, (huge file sizes).
Here's some screens of the exact settings I use, some of the more advanced stuff like adaptive I frame or P frames etc
are at default, as I haven't got a clue what those do.

 

the following mod have been updated too

Hi!
Are there any news about a TSW6 release for this mod?

 

no news yet until a new god mode comes out

 

Godmode Temporary File to let Godmode work with TSW6 Routes:
I’ll be sharing an updated file from Discord here on the forums. It works when both files are installed.
You’ll need to place both the original Godmode file and the one I’m sharing here in your TSW mod location.
The source is from Discord. Have fun with it!

jesper2805 Thank you for this, will try it out tomorrow.

 

can confirm that godmode temp file works

 

Thank you for the update, very helpful.

And yes, it works.

 

This version of the mod doesn't work for me. I checked at the training center and on other old routes. But version 0.6.2 still works, everywhere, except for m new routes.

 

did you kept the original godmode into the mod directory ?
it is not a replacement but an extra file solution
the temporary file works fine here

 

That explains a lot. Now everything is working. Thank you.

 

good glad it works

 

I’m currently working on putting together the mod for TSW6 but ‘life’ is very busy at the moment. I will be ready when it’s ready, but I am on it

 

JetWash Get to it when 'life' allows, we now have the temp file while enables it on TSW6.

 

yeah and meanwhile i just copy pasted some ini settings from similar routes

 

This is god(mode)send, thank you!

 

Life and family always come first, take your time Jetwash, we have the temp patch for now.

 

Legend!

 

It was so nice to have Zoomy Zoom on the ALP-45!

 

Take the time you need JetWash - it'll be worth the wait!

 

Oh god yeah

 

Has anyone noticed that TSW6 seems to have better performance?

While using v2.3 of the Lighting mod together with the OTS timetable, and using 200% screenpercentage,
I am now comfortably reaching 60fps in 4k. (Using LS)

 

I've stopped using LS, seems to be taking away 10 fps every time I start it so if I limit my fps to 30 it drops to 20 then doubles it.
Overall I do find the performance of tsw6 better then tsw5 anyway.

 

I noticed that on the Frankfurt S-Bahn route, GodMode is still not working..

 

that is odd that route works fine here (normal service on foot)
are you sure you got Foob_GodMode_0-6-2_TSW4-5.pak?
or maybe forgot to delete previous version of it?

 

The mod version is up-to-date, plus a temporary file. It works on all the old routes I've tried and on all the new ones (TSW6). Only the FSB does not work...

 

Did you try to press escape so that you see the menu and then try to open the godmode to use the mouse? Sometimes in the game it self it will not detect that the mouse is on the top of your'e screen

 

I decided to check the version again and indeed it turned out to be 0,5,13 (somehow). Thanks for the advice.

 

What route settings did you copy over?

 

the route ini settings in godmode itself it is what is inside Jetwash mod
every route has it own ini listing
just pull down the godmode menu look on the right side for the ini setup parts
just where it should be it is empty now if on a new tsw 6 route just click on the right side to open it up
and select a route that would be close to it and in tod4 (tsw 4 5 and 6 released routes i think)

 

Yeah sorry I just meant any recommendations for routes to copy over? I guess routes like fife circle are quite similar. Will give them a try tonight and see how they run. Trial and error i guess

 

yes trial and error
if it is to bright or dark then you just change 1 setting
r.Color.Mid=0.54
lower is dark and higher is bright

for german route just use one of frunkfurt routes
for Morris you can try trenton or LIRR Commuter: New York - Long Beach, Hempstead & Hicksville Route
for River you can try West Coast Main Line: Preston - Carlisle

i think i did those do not remember exactly

 

I also nudge the gamma setting up or down

 

Any idea what is causing this big gray box in the sky? When it pops up it absolutely kills the FPS. Have to exit the game.

 

It's an Imperial Star Destroyer, duh.

 

those are assets lost in space
placed on purpose to kill fps

try r.ViewDistanceScale=2 setting or else 1

 

Will give that a shot. It’s currently set at 4. It just randomly started doing this after literally years of it not. I think I remember it from the past but couldn’t remember what caused it. Even removing the ini entires didn’t fix it. Once it pops up, the only way to get rid of it is to exit the game.

 

it was on antelope valley right?
about half way on the map?
i did play that one this morning and noticed the fps loss
luckily it is only a short distance but it sure halfs the fps
never did look upwards

 

Yeah, about halfway through the map at Via Princessa station. Funny thing is, it’ll do it randomly. It’s not a for sure thing that it’s going to happen. Like I said, I remember this happening in the past and JetWash provided an answer on what was causing it and how to fix it but I don’t remember now.

 

you can find it here
PC - I Love This Game | Dovetail Games Forums

 

Thanks! So what I take from this thread is it’s definitely a known issue and related to ini changes and the way to fix it is to lower the ViewDistanceScale to no more than 2 but really leave it at 1.

 

I have this on Cardiff City

 

I don’t want to speak too soon but bringing ViewScaleDistance back to 1 seems to have solved the issue. Then again it’s so random it’s hard to tell. You can run the route 10x and it won’t do it once and then will do it 10 times in a row in the same spot that previously had no issues. The game, much like everything DTG produces, continues to always have issues of sorts.

For what it’s worth, I did have VSD set up to 4 so maybe bringing it back to 1 will solve this. It was suggested in the thread posted above not to put it above 1 in most cases.

 

That's always there on that route, nothing to do with any mods I could discern, I still saw it when launching the game with the default engine.ini for testing purposes.

It was among my reasons for refunding such a sloppy release. Always in the exact same spot any time I fired up a service, tested by spawning in at various locations it's visible from and triangulating its position. Only time I have ever seen anything remotely similar was a glitch I got one time on Cane Creek where there were what looked like a crowd of the floating hiss-possessed people from Remedy's Control floating up from the ground into the sky* near the airfield but that was not something I was ever able to reproduce, unlike this which I tested repeatedly.


*As an aside, I have a halloween TSW stream planned for folks in my Discord server, so if anyone can show me a way to replicate this glitch that'd be great, already got stuff planned like riding the Fife Circle to Queen Street

 

I Report the flying Trees to DTG
Have the Route because of the Special Edition for 68€

 

there is a bunch of floating trash around Gemini on the Cane Creek
just put viewdistance at 4 and use the outside cam the whole time
i started from potash the trash is on the right side
visible for a pretty long time at least it does not kill fps on this route

 

That’ll be dead on arrival. Reported bug many times and they never even address it. Most of the time, once a route is released, they almost never go back and provide updates to fix issues. Just move right onto the next project.

 

not completely true there once was a patch where they had moved and rotated some bad placed trees

 

Ok, fine. I stand corrected. There’s still no denying that this tree issue is still a bug that hasn’t been addressed on many routes. AVLA for example is a core TSW4 route and TSW6 just released and the tree bug is still present. And talking with someone else about this, it was already reported multiple times in the last few years. Never addressed or fixed.
