    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?

    All right, just loaded TSW6 up in my BRAND NEW COMPUTER, I put in JetWash's Ultra settings, and HOLY LOVE! It's a whole new experience! WOW!

    (and that's in 1080; haven't replaced my monitor yet). What a great, great package this is.

    Rehashing my previous issue, I've upgraded my monitor to a 1440p one - looks and runs great, similar framerate to 1080p, so thanks again for advice about balancing my system between CPU and GPU.

    One thing though, the crash at Smethwick Rolfe Street has reappeared! Interestingly, no crash if I use a different ini I picked randomly (SEHS), so I need to experiment and see what parameter is causing it.

    How do I define which route should the settings apply to? I am aware of [SystemSettings] but if I want to modify Czech route only?

    This isn't directed as criticism, at all, but what difference does the mod (that you apply to engine.ini for all routes) make, as compared to the game running in ultra settings?

    I applied this mod and could see very little difference, other than the already over exposed trains appeared more over exposed (the green on the southern 377s looks faded when in bright sunlight). It's certainly an issue already in the core game but this mod just seems to make it even worse? Perhaps its just me.

    This mod is very helpful to lower the exposure....
    Use one of the pak files.

    For me, Jetwash's lighting mods completely changes how the game looks. Instead of DTGs washed out look, the routes all look far better and for a lot of routes the initial settings are customised for the particular route. ( Via god mode which allows different settings for each route). I hate playing without it. Now Jetwash is working on a team to produce they're own DLC, I'm quite excited to see what the lighting will be like.

    As an aside. Last time it took a while to update godmode someone posted a mod to allow you to add routes temporarily, there is a link to it somewhere on this forum but I can't find it quickly. This will work for any new route, you just need to edit the .bat file provided and add the string Liberec_StaraPaka and then it will generate an additional mod for a Temporary God Mode for the new route.

    EDIT : If you look back through this thread, the link to patch godmode is on Oct 22nd.

    Is the patch still relevant, when last GodMode version was released after it (Dec 2025)?

    And as a temporary workaround for new routes that don't have a custom .ini yet, you can go into God Mode and put in the presets for another, similar route. For example, the remastered GWE works well using the WCML South preset.

    Yes, works fine. I already tested it before I posted. It's not doing anything to god mode itself. Just adding the link to it in the route.

    What mod are you talking about? There is no support to Liberec Stara Paka route at the moment so there is no option to add the engine.ini direct in game right?!

    The one linked on your post on 22nd Oct. Though I see that is an already done version and not the full set of files. I'll try to find the link to the whole thing.

    I'm not sure what .bat file I'm supposed to edit. Both God Mode and the patch are .pak files.

    What should i change here?
    C:\TSWMods\TrainSimWorld5Mod\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealPak.exe


    1. Extract contents of this .zip file to a folder

    1. Put the latest god mode .pak file in the PutGodModeHere folder

    2. Open UnrealPakLocation.ini and change the location to wherever UnrealPak.exe is

    3. Start Run.bat

    4. Put the newly created GodMode_TSW6_Temporary_Addon.pak in the TSW 6 DLC folder

    I've sent you a private message with a link to the the .pak file that I am using. Maybe that's easier. If you can check it works then I'll post the link here.

    Not sure if DTG allow links to be posted here but here is a link to my OneDrive with a pak file to enable god mode for Stara Paka. Use it at your own risk. In case the link is removed you can Private message me and I'll send it to you. I'll remove it myself if god mode gets updated.

    Removed Link. Now out of date. See updated version a few posts below including the new NEC route.

    All right, it's first-world problem time. Now that I have replaced the Potato with Godzookie (Godzilla's smaller sidekick), I have a couple of issues that didn't trouble me before:

    Flickering shadows, on the train and in the cab (not static shadows). I assume that this is a refresh rate issue causing a strobe, but can't figure it out. I assume some combination of game and monitor RR combined with turning G-Sync either on or off will fix it, but I can't get it sorted.

    Also, moire patterns in fences. Not remotely as bad as it used to be, but I'd like to eliminate completely.

    Which routes with the shadows?

    The only thing that will sort the fences is DTG adopting new AA methodology (DLAA). There’s literally nothing more can be done about it other than upping your screen percentage. I’ve tried absolutely everything I can

    Hi.

    If you are using DX12, you will suffer a lot of shadow flickering, although this brings bout a lot less micro stuttering.

    I've reverted back to DX11

    Sorry for the stupid question, but do they need to be added manually based on your hardware's capabilities? Or are these lines no longer necessary?

    Yes, but GodMode will need updating first

    Those settings are for ‘beast’, so will need adapting to your machine as normal

    Here you go - Download and place in your mods folder along with GodMode 6.6.
