I'm delighted to say the WCMLS Enhancement Pack and Fawx's 2024 timetable is now available. This is by far the biggest EP we've attempted to date and, along with DTG's updates, turns what was a somewhat disappointing route into something entirely different. On that note, DTG are still updating this route so if future changes either duplicate or break elements of this pack we will update with fixes.

Having bombarded you with videos and look-see’s over the last couple of weeks here’s the final one, and I believe we’ve saved the best until last! A 16 minute long AI Timelapse showing just for far the route has come in the last few weeks. Enjoy!

People who have worked on this pack; JetWash , bescot, Rob39, danielwyatt60163, SprattyHeath, laika & Fawx

We'd also like to say a huge thanks to Isaac Avila who's Creator Club liveries were used as a base for the celebrity liveries. This includes the AWC 805, the 350 'Eurovision' and the 390 'Progress' and 'Opportunity' liveries

Have a look on CC for his stuff under the usernames SR or TrainFan

 

Superb mate. Thanks to you and all the other guys for your hard work!

 

Your work is impressive again, having to change things that are mandatory for those who offer the route, and for free...
It's a shame that people who play on console are always harmed by these changes that only PC people can enjoy.

Still, congratulations on your great work.

 

The enhancement pack and Fawx’s entirely new, real-world, timetable sounds like wonderful. Thanks you and all other members for your hard work, and I can't wait for its release.
ps. Such hard work deserve praise from DTG and they should learn something from it.

 

No payment. It’s just done as part hobby, part enjoyment, part curiosity and part frustration!

 

Looking for tips fella??

 

I am very impressed with what I saw!!! It's amazing! Thank you very much for the holiday that you give us! I am waiting with great impatience for the release of the final patch. Good luck to you and other participants of this project. Everything is just super!

 

Thanks Liam!

I have my ini mod installed, LondonMidland’s signals but other than that just the lights I’ve added to the route.

 

Modding once again putting a default route to shame and for free. Once this fully releases DTG need to take a good hard look at this because this is what the route should sold as. Happy for PC players but disappointed the rest of us will be stuck with whatever DTG do before they move on…

 

JetWash is this the branding pack done by Yerolo? If so he has divided it into 2 pak files. If not when this comes out, won't we have a conflict between the 2?

 

That looks fantastic. Lighting looks great in the little clip and I'm especially looking forward to an upgraded WCML timetable. Good work and I'll be there to download it as soon as its ready.

I've already got the 350 branding pack which is very nice indeed.
Question: Will the upcoming EP include branded station signage, thus leaving Charlie's mod redundant?

 

You’re all legends. I’d have given up on TSW4 long ago if it wasn’t for the mods you all create.

 

I can't say for sure at the moment but it's very possible. I'm not convinced it's beyond the realms of possibility that DTG may yet get the rights to the branding anyway at some point.

The 350 pack done by the guys in this group is absolutely first rate and that's not to disparage the other one of course. Were it done officially I don't believe it would be any better than they've achieved however.

 

Another amazing job JetWash. Looking forward to this being uploaded for us to use. I am thinking you used a bit of fog to enhance that lighting.

 

Absolutely always at night. That was 0.005 in GodMode. At the very least I would use 0.001.

 

It's crazy what you guys have been able to achieve in such a short time - the game hasn't even been in public access for 2 weeks yet. The night lighting looks incredible, and I've been privileged enough to see a sneak peek of Fawx's timetable in the background, which also looks exceptional! (Not to take away from any of the other aspects of course, which also bring the route to a new level)

There's no excuse from DTG/Rivet not to have the route up to snuff on release when modders can bring it there within literal weeks of release, working in their spare time.

Superb work.

 

No, this is a separate one done by Me, Bescot, Laika and SprattyHeath. You can install the signage alongside our 350 pack, but not the branding.

 

Really looking forward to the EP, amazing work as always everyone!! Hope to see more sneak peaks also

 

Awesome, any enhancement by you guys is a must have and instant download by me.

Please put this in the description when it's available because I think some of us may forget to remove it otherwise.

 

Many thanks to you all

 

This is sexy AF.

 

can't wait! Looks fantastic.

 

Properly looking forward to this. Nice one, thanks!

 

Just so credit goes to the right people....I had nothing to do with the creation of the mod....that was made by Charlie.

He has since removed his class 350 mod so it can be run alongside this one to provide the lnwr signage and working liveries with guard mode

 

That is what I have done, put Charlie's livery mod, after deleting yours, in beside your signage one.

 

None of them are my mods, I simply just made a thread Charlie created a signage mod + a class 350 rebranding mod which he couldn't get working with guard mode.

For the best experience (so far); install Charlie's signage mod and Jetwash's 350 mod as they work fine together

 

Congrats for this fantastic mod to everybody involved. Considering what you guys did with Five Circle, basically turned one of the mediocre / bland routes into one of the best routes and timetable in TSW , WCML is really going to be something else.
I really love the new night lighting, it was pretty dead before, around city and depots pitch black. Now it really makes night runs an option and looks really good.
To bad the headlight of the 390 are really bad and don't do anything but maybe somebody can fix that to.

 

Thanks to you modding folks at least on PC we will have something like (or exceeding) “what could have been “ had the route builders fully done it justice.

 

That one is nothing to do with me. Some really excellent work by Bescot, laika, Belle and Sprattyheath

 

I’ve already modded the 390 headlight; available here;

https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...ches/i4090-tsw45-train-lighting-lod-fixes-v23

 

It looks very impressive! I'm guessing this does up the minimum system requirements a bit, right?

 

I noticed whilst playing last night that the lights go off very early, even when its still dark. I know Bescot made some previous improvements to previous tech with his light timer mod, but not sure if any improvements can be made to this as part of a lighting pass. Not sure how the new tech works but it still seems out of sync. Changing the clouds on this particular occurrence allowed a few extra minutes of station lighting but quickly went off again.

 

Amazing work. May yet convince me to purchase the route.

 

The branding pack on its own has largely transformed the route already. Can't wait for the timetable and the rest of the enhancement pack.
Thanks guys.
I know it's a hobby but I would definitely make a donation and I'm sure would others if you add a button.

 

DTG need a long hard look and sit down in the offices why within a week I've seen enhancement packs and timetables being worked on / released that make considerable improvements to this route from modders working on this for free in their own time. Great for the PC players, not so much for those on console.

 

I was always a double dipper. Bought content on PC and PS4 & PS5. Not anymore.
PC only from now on.
Some of the mods and improvement have gone from luxuries to necessities.

 

Thank you for your work.
Sadly compatibility concerns for consoles and lower powered machines will always hold the game back from it's potential.

 

Hey thanks. I was using all of these in TSW4 but forgot about also getting the for TSW5. I suspect it's the one you where also using in the video. It's far better than the original but still quite low compared to some german stuff. Can you increase it even more so it's able to lit up at least 50m infront?

 

Isn't it ironic when the paying community has to upgrade and fix DTG products? I think they should fire certain subcontractors beginning with R and employ the modders instead, much better value and in return for their money they will get a labour of love.

 

You know - some of my best games and simulations are those that allow modders to do their magic - TSC is a prime example along with Skyrim amongst many others.

For some the base game is only a start and not only does modding allow those who are able to "correct" what they see as oversights but also extend the base to areas and situations that the orginal developer probaly never considered. MSFS2020 is another prime example. There are third party developers and modders that are better than others. Take the Beech 18 in MSFS2020 - the base aircraft is sort of OK and good enough for a majority - but the realism mod makes it almost a study level aircraft. Not everyone wants such realism and stick with the base.

Of course, this is only available on systems that allow one to do such mods - just like TSW - people who run MSFS2020 on consoles sometimes are not able to moddify the DLC or game to the same extent that those on PC can. So if such approaches are good enough for Microsoft and Bethesda - I can't see it as a problem for DTG.

 

For me the same with the Total War franchise, and Skyrim like yo say.

 

Football Manager would be pretty duff without the various mods made for it as they can only show logos, kits, trophies and players faces for leagues they have licenses for. Until FM25 that included the English Premier League so I've been grateful to modders on that game for 10 years or more.

Cities Skylines was a classic case of "here's the base game, now show us what you can make out of it". Though CS2 is more like "here's the base game and even your mid-level gaming PC can't run it".

 

The changes to the Nightlightning are an absolute Game Changer for TSW! I'm very impressed by this. Time for DTG to take note what can be done if effort and time is put into it!

 

This looks amazing, can't wait until it's ready to use, thanks for you're hard work.

 

Just to bump this thread as the original post has been updated with a new video showing the complete night scenery upgrade;

WOW! What a difference!

Only thing I would say though is that in your modded version, the dial lights are dimmer and harder to read or is that just the setting you had it in cab? (Don't know if there's a dimmer switch as I've not got the route)

 

I’ve played the route with the latest patch and the dial lights are fine!

 

Bizar what a difference and a more realistic feeling of a real world.

 

I use GodMode to dim them. Personal preference of course which is why my mod(s) no longer alter that particular shader.
