    So, it's probably not the video card. It seems like a minor issue, but it keeps distracting me. If Jetwash can solve it, we should definitely erect a monument to him for his services to TSW.

    From what we can tell this is an issue on all routes, and is because the ballast mesh pokes above the sleepers to represent stones scattered along the line. It is this that you are seeing drawing in in front of you.

    So, to re-iterate, it is no different on Medway Valley to Southeastern Highspeed as it is the same track (given we had to build off the CML section). We are looking at ways to fix it.

    May I suggest in the meantime you try increasing the r.viewdistancescale= setting somewhat. Beast is set to 2 and it’s not something I particularly notice. You could try 3 or 4 if your machine can cope with it, but bear in mind this forces better draw distances for everything.

    No, I don’t - it’s an Nvidia 5080.

    Try this
    [SystemSettings]
    ts2.dbg.Track.SleeperViewDistanceScale=0
    ts2.dbg.Track.SleeperViewDistanceScaleMax=0

    You will have to set Engine.ini to write protect if you want to keep this setting

    Unfortunately, there's no noticeable difference, even if you select a value of 10. I did my own little test. This flaw is present on all routes, but on other routes the gravel is so perfect that it's not noticeable. I tested it.I looked at Frankfurt Fulda, Liberec Stara Paka, GWR and East Coastway remaster + Riviera line.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. Is it possible to write these commands into a dynamic INI specifically for MVL and SEHS?

    I have the same problem as vodka#2734, even using the JetWash ini-file for optimaziation.


    I did not notice that on any other route before and my tests delivered the same results as for vodka: not noticeable on other routes but on the MVL. I did not test SEHS yet.

    Is there a way to combine imperfect ballast as the default on the route, but have it disappear much further than it does now? I'm no expert, but changing the values of these commands other than 0 and 1 doesn't make sense. The draw distance does not increase.

    ts2.dbg.Track.SleeperViewDistanceScale=0
    ts2.dbg.Track.SleeperViewDistanceScaleMax=0
    Add these commands to the route's ini file. The problem will disappear.

    As I am not an expert on those things, please help me with one question: I have one engine.ini file but struggle to find inis, specific for one route. Can you "guide" the way?

    Well, I do use your mod and tried the following. Sadly, it did not solve the problem.
    - the general engine.ini is modified as described in your manual.
    - I copied the Godmode.sav into the directory as indicated.
    - I added the two lines above to the MVL part of the godmode.sav (in your manual you wrote "godmode.ini" but I did not find a file with this name).

    Nothing changed. :( Would love some help.

    In the upper right corner of the god's mod is an icon with the word "INI." This is what it looks like on mine.
