    A quick one for when GWE:R comes out tomorrow. I am guessing we will need to remove the entry from GodMode for the route as it'll be based on the old lighting?

    Yeah thats correct or at least you need to apply a copy from WCML South for example as sub in and wait for an official update.

    I have a version made for it but it’s finding the time to update the mod that is the challenge. There aren’t enough hours in the day!

    Hey Jetwash would you be willing to post the beast preset here like you did with Riviera, Morristown and Liepzig Dresden until you push the update?

    I know this is probably a very basic question, but what tool(s) do any of you use to modify the sav file? Notepad ++ or similar? Ta

    I've noticed on the GWE:R that if we're running r.DefaultFeature.LensFlare=1 and r.LensFlareQuality=3 it disappears, and then when you play on other routes there is no flare, until you restart the game. Does this happen for anyone else? Or can someone else test and confirm. Currently, I've cleared the entry for the remastered version, so this is just an observation really.

    JetWash how close is this ini file to the one in WCML south? That is what I have copied into the new redone GWR.

    Yes! Weirdly it's working for me now too. Didn't change anything. I just spawned in on foot at Acton Main line, flare still not working, sat down on a bench, just messing around really, then noticed the flare began working...hmm.

    If you downloaded Jetwash's mod then it is done automatically if you want to copy and paste from the website then hover your most to tue top of the screen to bring up god mode menu then in the top right corner going left to right click on the second icon to bring up the route ini info and just paste what you copied in the slot under the route name

    Can anyone suggest a good profile for the new TOD Aachen-Köln route? I used the Fulda-Frankfurt and it seemed ok, but was wondering if there was anything better?

    Thanks

    I still don't get where I can apply these profiles. In which file of the mod are these settings saved? My Köln-Aachen right now seems waaay to bright with the mod without changes... So any help would be helpful - thank you!

    Unless you have deleted the mod for Koln specifically, it will still have the TOD3 settings in there. It tells you in the manual, with pictures, where everything is.

    I will update this mod to include all recent changes etc but at the moment I simply don’t have the time I’m afraid.

    Is there a suggested set of route settings to use for the new ECW Remaster?

    You need to pick one that is ToD4 so it's a hard choice since there are no ToD4 routes close by. I just picked Goblin Line and its up in London.

    Riviera feels like it may be similar, a mix of seaside and countryside route.

    Use one from earlier routes.... Frankfurt s-bahn for example.... They do the same job.

    Has anyone found suitable settings for the new Czech route from some other route?

    I don't think GodMode has been updated to work with new route yet, has it? And without GodMode there's no way to add new ini settings anyways.

    I know I keep saying it but I promise I will update this mod sometime soon. We’re full chat with Medway Valley at the moment and I just haven’t got the time needed to start making multiple presets for multiple routes.

    It hopefully hasn’t escaped your attention though that from a lighting point t of view I’ve now landed on a stable setup that works for every route, so there is no reason why you can’t just copy one of the recent ones. The thing(s) you might have to change are the draw distances etc though, and it’s worth noting that the Czech route has a LOT of foliage so putting those numbers too high with cripple most GPU’s

    Yes you can! You have to add them manually in the engine.ini file under my documents. And then you have the same results. I use it always until the Godmode has received an update.

    You're right on target. I haven't even launched the game yet. So, I'll have to wait for the God Mod update.
    What specific parameter needs to be changed? Or is that what it's called?

    I use the KWG version. Works well but is not perfect. You have to change it to you're own system specs

    If it's not too much trouble, could you point me to the line with the required parameter? And what numbers should I set?
