PC Tsw 6 Enhancement | Lighting & Graphic Ep V6.1

This is god(mode)send, thank you!

 

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

 

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

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.

 

I've been tinkering with the OTS mod for the WCMLS again, for a while now actually.
And although in game everything is smooth at 200% screen percentage while using the Beast version of the Lighting mod (using LS), whenever I tried recording it with OBS, the result was always stutter y.

I think I found the solution though, as it turns out I was recording it all wrong.
I have now set up 2 different scenes with OBS, one for LS, and one for my display.

I don't know if its just me, and it is obvious to everyone else, but I never knew to record LS game play this way.
Anyway, here's a link to a video guide I followed to get it to (for the most part) work.
For me, in game, everything is as smooth as it should be, but whatever I record is still slightly jittery, but acceptable imo.


And, if anyone is interested, here's a ~1 min clip.
(Still using VBR suggested by Train Sim Society )

 

Thanks, should nicely double up on the spookiness once I set the time of year to winter and get the giant glowing green crystals.

 

if you gonna plan to drive the whole length just start at Potash
further ahead there is more floating trash but on the left side then

 

The glowing green crystals are gone! Don't know when they fixed them, but I just drove CCB last night and the shrubs are normal.

 

What month did you have the date set to? They only appear around midwinter.
Not seen any CC updates since I last ran it to test the bug a couple of weeks back. Or was it something TSW6 core updates fix that I'm not seeing in 5?

 

they look like crystals are those not plants with bad texture?
might be winter related

you get some weird whiteness (weird looking snow patches) on Sandpatch too in December or in January

30 dec cumberland yard

 

Yep, specifically the vegetation on Cane Creek gives a great bugging out at that time of year to look like Command & Conquer Tiberium. You can pretend that UP liveried loco is a GDI harvester.

Interestingly enough, if you DO make the weather snow it becomes a lot less noticeable.

 

You should Report This to LucaZone

 

i think they already have the buglist

 

Pretty sure most of the CC bugs were reported like four years ago.

 

Thanks! Is there a version of this patch that supports the new Birmingham to Crewe route?

 

ckop64, I am sure that they will get this sorted, but it usually takes several days from release.

 

No!

 

New updated version with support for Birmingham to Crewe route! Release 21-10-2025

Thanks to Discord for sharing

 

That was quick. Thanks.

 

Thank you

 

The new Route has floating trees because of the Ini Files
