    Good day everyone, is there an engine.ini setting that is recommended to use based on my below specs and settings that can improve the quality/sharpness of TSW6? I tried Jetwash's engine.ini high preset and his beast preset, separately, followed by TrainSimSociety's hybrid engine.ini file. While the visual looks amazing, I notice when operating in the train cab, textures, trees and tracks appear to be somewhat blurry or fuzzy. I would like to know if there is a way I can get it to look sharp/crisp. The blurriness and fuzziness or winter trees, tracks, scenery, trains occur across both ToD3 routes and ToD4 routes for me. If anyone has can recommend the best engine.ini or settings I should follow based on my below specs to achieve the best visuals while maintaining smooth performance, that will be amazing and much appreciated.

    CPU: Intel Core i7 12700K
    Memory: 32gb corsair vengeance DDR4
    GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3070 8gb
    Monitor: ASUS VG278Q 1080P monitor @ 165Hz

    Please note, for TSW6, I run all settings at high-ultra with TAA enabled and 200% screen percentage and fps locked at 62fps and usually get a stable 50-60 fps with a few microstutters every now and then before I tried modifying the engine.ini. I notice if I delete the engine.ini, a default engine.ini will be created when I launch the game

    After a bit more tinkering, I read Jetwash's guide to the engine.ini and tried the high preset. I noticed while playing from the cab, winter trees and track textures appeared a bit blurry, so I applied the low engine.ini setting for lighting changes only. I believe I found a happy medium where I am satisfied with the look now while maintaining the sharpness of the textures. I enabled the lens flare for the sun/lights. Overall, I am much happier with this result and definitely can't wait to fuse this with the weather annotations.

    Have you turned off the motion blur option in the settings?
