    The references I used showed the ballast pretty bright, but of course as we know DTG only like to use one shade of ballast for their entire route, which means that sadly not all areas are going to look correct. This is the same issue I had with SEHS where I had to balance it out to make it look realistic enough on both sides.

    I downloaded the mod mainly because of the ballast changes.
    I can immediately spot the slight color difference others mentioned, I'll need to test it more under different weather circumstances, but so far it's not a deal-breaker for me.

    Thank you and the co-authors very much for this mod!

    Love the mod. I think looking at the Victoria end I may be in the no ballast change mod camp. Everything else is spot on and I genuinely appreciate everyones efforts.

    Apologies for the extra post , I'm just looking at it now. Is there scope to put anything on the two black screens to the right of the driver? I don't know what is there normally but seeing how good the PIS screen now looks can this be made into something better than "turned off"?

    I don't have any sort of reference material for that, and IRL they would normally be turned off when the doors are locked so it's not worth changing.

    Ah fair play. I wasn't sure if they was ones that held info that couldn't be shown due to licensing etc . Thank you

    I'm pretty sure the route is set pre-COVID, so the social distancing markers wouldn't be there.

    Really amazing work SprattyHeath, it is very good to see you and londonmidland, doing amazing work to bring the route to come to life, and realistic every day. Keep up the amazing work, and we as a community really appreciated what you and londonmidland are doing. :) :o :D:D :)

    When will get this enhancement mod pack? Just so super excited.

    Great mod...but the platform announcements all seem to cut off after the first couple of sentences. Is this a licencing thing or unintentional ?

    It's a known issue according to the additional comments on the download page.

    It is a very good mod, that adds extra enjoyment to a good route.
    My favourite bit so far was the announcement: "the next train at Platform 1 is not scheduled to stop here" at Brighton station... :)

    That is an issue that I have been trying to resolve, but I haven't found a fix for it yet. My assumption is that the route is not able to play all the sounds properly, and they cut off randomly

    Possibly related to the AWS sound issues in the 377/387. Hopefully once DTG fix that it will resolve this issue as well

    Fingers crossed

    The 737 seems to have lost it's Easyjet livery after one of the recent game updates, (Not sure which one just noticed it today after a month or two of not using the route).

    I've tried disabling all other mods the route uses and also tried redownloading and re-installing this mod to no avail.

    Anyone else having the same issue?

    Yep, gone for me as well in both DX11 and DX12 modes. I was testing out the new BML enhancement mods from over at TSC with Geloxo's new engine.ini tweaks & I was like 'what the hell happened to the plane???'

    Yeah, I also don't see the plane flying anymore as well, but I still do hear the sound of the plane, when I was driving at night

    Hi all, sorry for the total lack of updates, been busy lately, I have been made aware of this issue but unfortunately I have not been able to diagnose the problem myself, it seems a recent update has broken the something with the material side of the plane model, i'm no expert on it but this is what apparently has caused it to stop loading the various textures etc.

    The creator of the B737 model "TheShottle" is no longer in the TSC discord server anymore, and I do not have the original unbaked file. Someone else is currently looking into getting it fixed for me but I do not know how long it will take, for now you'll just have to bear with it i'm afraid...

    I will keep you posted when the issue gets rectified and will update the mod in due course

    Hi, this has nothing to do with my mod as I did not edit any of the scenarios as such.

    In a related development, TheShotte's re-textured church in Dante (Clinchfield) has suffered a similar fate: gone grey. Apparently he was using a graphical loophole which recent program updates have cut off.

    Yes, this was something that others were aware of too, which is really coincidental if you ask me

    I've talked to TheShotte and he's working on getting the mods functional again. If everything goes well, I guess the affected mods should be back soon.

    That’s good news. Let’s keep our fingers crossed it’s an easy enough fix for him to do.

    Afternoon all, this is just a quick update regarding my BML Enhancement Pack.

    As you may remember the Plane Mesh that was included by another modder in the community stopped working after a 4.26 update. I never got round to fixing it until several months later where I finally decided to try and fix this issue.

    I ended up ditching the B737 model and instead found an A320 EasyJet model online. I redid the UVs in Blender and got it imported into UE4, cooked & packaged.

    Keep an eye out for a post with a link when I update the download on TSC, for now I'll just leave you with these screenshots.

    Good evening everyone.

    It's been a good while since this thread was last used. Since I uploaded this about two years ago a fair bit has changed and unfortunately with change came the inevitable Addon Manager which unfortunately broke almost all the mods for TSW.

    Thankfully however some clever people in the TSC found a way to bypass the Addon Manager and mods for TSW4 seem to be working again.

    https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...compatible-brighton-mainline-enhancement-pack

    I'm happy to present that the BML mod is now compatible with TSW4.

    Please let me know if problems arise, thanks!

    Fantastic. Thank you SprattyHeath and all involved in this mod for the original work, and for finding a way to make it compatible for TSW4. All of your efforts are hugely appreciated.
