    Emmy_MAN You won't regret going to SM. If you are running an NVidia 40 series, make sure you have the latest driver for it. I had to update mine first. I run a 4090.

    My Smooth Motion doesn’t appear to be working. Does anyone else’s say this in the NVIDIA App?

    Its the optimizations that are not supported for TSW. SM should work fine when its enabled.

    It doesn’t show SM with Alt+R in the game?

    Try the Nvidia overlay? (Alt-Z) There should be an option called Statistics.
    Did you limit the frame rate on game?

    The way I understand it limiting your frame rate to 30 (for example) lets SM double it to 60.
    That's the way I have it set up, so that I can record at "60" fps while setting the screen percentage slider to 175 in 4K.

    Not too sure, it doesn’t appear to be working even though it’s switched on in the NVIDIA app, I feel so old with technology

    It says FPS/GPU/CPU/LAT there’s no SM?

    Only things I can think of, are your GPU drivers up to date? Did you turn on v-sync in the app? (Can't see that in your screenshot)

    Ok.....

    You need to do the following.....

    Press alt-Z
    Click Statistics at the bottom left
    Change Statistics view to Custom
    Click View All and scroll down to the bottom of the list and click the tick box next to Smooth Motion (SM)


    Then when in game when you press alt-R it will say SM top right and tell you if it is enabled.


    In the TSW settings in game I have limited fps to 30fps.... But within the info alt-R shows it says FPS is 60fps so you can see SM is working that way too.

    Adding to that. Try setting your frame rate to 30 in game, the record a minute or so in 60 fps.
    If the video file is 60 fps its working.

    Thanks, it just says N/A even though it’s on in the app? Should I re-add TSW6 to the NVIDIA app? If so, what directory/file should I add?

    You need to add the actual file you use to run the game in the Nvidia app so for me it is this file.......
    Screenshot 2026-04-14 170705.png

    Once you have added that file in the Nvidia app you then enable SM.

    You could also check out Train Sim Society's YouTube video titled 'Everything I Use to Make TSW6 Look THIS GOOD!' and skip to 45:27 on the video. Might help you out in figuring the steps. :)

    Thats a route problem.... When you install the old settings it will crash. After some Intensive testing its not the ideal solution. I have now installed the latest version and the problem is there. Sorry but DTG should fix this issue. There is something serious wrong with background loading i guess

    Well, let's wait for the promised big patch...
    P.S. What driver version do you have installed?

    I hope I won't have to wait that long.
    But we also have driver versions for AMD. I suspect things are better with one of the older versions.

    Ah ja the latest one. This has nothing to do with the driver. This is a route error. Other routes are fine.

    Hi,
    I use the Ultra setting and I'm very happy with it. There are just some flashing shadows when the sun is low like in the morning and in large train stations. Is there a way to reduce this?

    Can you explain what this means for older TOD3 routes? Should I be using TOD mods to make older routes TOD 4 or not?

    I means this mod works with TOD3 routes and keeps them TOD3. As cool as the TOD4 element is, none of the lights or emissives work correctly which makes the routes long term unplayable using those mods.

    FWIW I have a major update to this mod in the works at the moment.

    A question for you JetWash.....

    The Glossop route and MAC route share the same Godmode .ini info. Is it possible to split them somehow so I could turn some settings down for the MAC route with it being a more intensive route?

    I guess what i'm saying is how do you add info for a route without using an existing preset?

    You can change the text in the text box within each route's selection.

    But that would change it for both routes that use that route selection. I only want to change the settings for one of them. ;)

    Each route should be able to be selected from the drop down menu.

    The route identifier is the same so there’s nothing I can do about it unfortunately. Sorry.

    But as I’ve already said Glossop and MAC use the same entry….. MAC doesn’t have its own entry it defaults to Glossop hence the question which Jetwash has answered for me.

    Can someone please help me remove those ugly 2d clouds?
    I added lines from the ini for the clouds, the 3D clouds became beautiful, but this low-resolution love appeared.

    Can you please specify what lines are needed for remove those 2d clouds?
    Or maybe there are some lines to increase the resolution (if it is not the maximum one) for the texture?
    I kind of like the idea of high clouds, but I really don't like the implementation, or rather the resolution.

    Could someone update me on what to set V-Sync to in game and/or on the Nvdia CP, when using Lossless Scaling?
    Its been a while since I used it and I think I have LS itself setup correctly, just not sure about V-Sync.

    Thanks in advance.

    What kind of GPU do you have? For the most cards you do not need LS.... Set the framerate limiter to 60fps and do not use v-sync.... Its not needed when you use the fps limiter. For me the most stable gameplay you can have. LS is a big lie and it does nothing special for TSW!

    I have a 5090. The reason I need LS (or Nvidia SM) is that I can't always reach 60fps, and I need 60fps for when I'm recording game play. I'll try your suggestion on turning v sync off tomorrow when I get back from work.

    WTF... A 5090 and then using LS.... I can only laughing.... You have the best card on the market.. LS is for people with lower end PCs that can not reach the best FPS... You have a GPU like a rocket.... Please do me a favor and stop using this software...

    Laugh all you want, but a 5090 and TSW, not always 60fps. Especially when using the Beast version of this mod. Anyway your suggestion on turning off v sync worked, thanks.

    V-sync it's not only about FPS cap, it's also anti-tearing feature. If you have a display with free-sync, you can enable it in display menu, otherwise use V-sync.

    That wasn’t what I meant… With a 60 fps limit you don’t need V‑sync or free-sync, because you never exceed your monitor’s refresh rate. (I hope nobody has a monitor that have a lower refresh rate than 60hz nowadays)
