PC Wcmls Enhancement Pack | Update 10 Now Available

JetWash can you reply about this point? Im not 100% Sure due to the fact i have the RHTT

 

You need to remove the GBRF pak file as you don’t have the pack that activates it.

 

Here is your'e answer!

 

and to JetWash.

Cheers!

 

Just spent a good couple of hours of this route following the latest update. I must say that this is fast becoming my favourite route with all these enhancements that Jetwash, Fawx, Bescot and others that are involved make. Some of the little details & refinements are sublime!
I cannot wait to see what the future improvements that Jetwash alluded to are and, when the full freight timetable is added, this route will be next level!
I hope that DTG read this thread and get you guys on the payroll…your combined efforts are worthy of payment!

 

is there anyhow the dwell time could be reduce after your train arrives at the destination? I had to wait like 20 minutes at euston and the timetable run still havent ended yet.

 

Lovin the new services. Especially the 87, this just keeps getting better! Tried dtg's updated timetable but its not even close! There's no going back from fawx's timetable.

 

It's basic knowledge sure, but it would require storing the names of previous versions somewhere when they're installed. That may not be beyond the wit of man, but neither is a systematic release process...

 

Can I ask what didn't work previously, which now does work on guard mode?

 

I know it's a stretch, but is there a possibility in the future of this expansion pack to have the LNR 730's as a sub-in for the Class 350's (since the Goblin line is mandatory requirement, the 710 is already present on the route)?

I'd love to to a full-length stopping run in one of these...

 

You already asked about this before and the answer is no.

 

Update 9 released today;

• Significant changes (probably in the region of 60-70%) to the environmental night lighting on the route using custom lights developed for the WCMLOS mod. As a result the lights look significantly better whilst improving performance at the same time
• In addition to the change in technique, many extra areas have had lighting sources added to them, something these different types of lights allow. It also allows the embellishment of existing lighting
• Wembley Central altered to fit the DTG update
• Some changes to Harrow & Wealdstone. Lighting on the custom models has been fixed to fit with the DTG update and remove the overly bright lights. Performance at this station improved
• Minor scenery alterations and some additions of foliage and clutter in a couple of areas
• Alterations to the Class 390 headlight mod that is included in the pack
• Class 710 lighting mod has also been re-done from scratch as it had stopped working. Now working as intended
• Inclusion of the Class 801 lighting mod which has also been done again from scratch and significantly improved. This affects the 805 as it is a child of the 801, hence its inclusion. Includes improvements to the headlights to stop them clipping the body of the train (you will no longer see the stark V shape cast by the headlights) as well as casting light further ahead of the train, changes to the cab light to make it much less bright, changes to the notepad light to make it less bright and more realistic, changes to the passenger saloon lighting to make it more realistic
• Fixed a couple of minor scenery issues caused by the DTG update
• Poppy removed from the 72 stock
• London Overground sign materials adjusted to make them more matte and less glossy looking

Unfortunately DTG’s update has broken the light baking at Euston again on the track at the station approach. Nothing can be done to fix this, it’s a DTG one sadly

 

Congrats for the update. I did a night run without any fog just to see the lights in pure form and everything looks absolutely amazing. This has become one of the best routes to drive at night. Fantastic work JetWash and team

 

JetWash, another great update to WCML south. Thank you so much and do hope that you will have a wonderful holiday.

 

Merry Christmas everyone,

I've been busy making a trainspotting video at Watford Junction.
I started recording at 8AM and every time a train passed by I moved to a different spot at or around the station.
When I was done at around 10AM, I had over 50 different view points, and after editing I ended up with a video just over 30 minutes long.

And, this was the first time using Davinci Resolve, what a difference that makes from Power Director!
Anyway, I hope you guys like it.

 

Evening everyone. Update 10 to the EP has just been uploaded to TSC with the following changes;

• Further improvements to the night lighting and additions of a few areas that had been overlooked. What's changed? It was noticed after the release of the last update that during very heavy rain or in thick fog some lights were creating an orb-like effect. That has now all but been eliminated by reducing the brightness of the lights and adjusting the position of the worst offenders, this also had the happy by-product of making the lighting look much better in general. A few more rogue spotlights have been nerfed and replaced with the new lighting type. The new crane at Watford Junction has been lit as per the rest of the route and some street lamps that were duplicated by the DTG update near Wembley Yard (causing performance drops) are now gone for good. General tidy up and improvements
• Addition of further clutter and foliage on the DC lines between Wealdstone Junction and Wembley Central
• Fixes and improvements to the custom station signage materials
• Maxwell the cat has been added to the route, being no more specific with his position than 'somewhere north of Leighton Buzzard'

West Coast Main Line: London Euston - Milton Keynes Enhancement Pack - Train Sim Community

Happy New Year!

 

Thanks Jetwash and Happy New Year to you and all the modders making TSW better for us PC Users.

 

looking good

 

Appreciate the continual updates. This route gets better every week. Still looking for Maxwell ;-) I'll let you know when I find him.

 

Fun times with the new measurement train.

 

Am I correct in understanding that any services in Journey mode use the DTG timetable, even though the mod liveries appear?

 

Last Friday I spent almost 5 hours following the new measurement train, naturally I was recording, and after editing, it turned out quite nicely. (Although at over an hour in length, a little longer then I expected)

 

Yes. Journey mode uses the DTG timetable

 

Just out of Curiosity, will you add the Class 323 West Midlands trains into the timetable as i seen in videos they run on the stretch of the line. Just an American enjoying British stuff!

 

I don't think they were ever on routine workings to Milton Keynes and the 323s are no longer operating in that region.

 

The 323's have never operated off the Cross City line in recent memory. Their replacements are currently getting mileage accumulation between London Euston and MKC/Tring in 6 and 9 car formations.

 

They only went as far as coventry from birmingham new st

 

You can spot Midland HSTs, in game and IRL, at St Pancras while driving the SEHS route. Class 43s run 2 tph to St P

 

That's nice........

 

I was going to install the Wcmls enhancement pack, but waited till after DTG's route update. After DTG's update this route no longer works, Unreal Engine crash.
All my other routes work perfectly fine, DTG support say remove all mods from my installation. I was wondering if DTG's route update contains something similar to an existing Train Sim Community mod, which is causing a conflict. Have DTG implemented a community mod in this update? It will be a pain to remove all the mods and replace them one by one.
The Train Sim community mods make all the difference.

 

I have and indeed currently am not having any issues with this mod after DTG’s update. In all honesty DTG Support was always going to lay the blame with a third party mod!
Are you using the latest version of the mod which I believe is Update 10?

 

Do you have any other WCMLS mods (a different branding mod, for example)? Possibly one of those is conflicting.

 

Thanks for your reply. I have never had any mods installed for the Wcmls route or rolling stock. I was going to install them after DTG's update.

 

Thanks for your reply. I have never had any mods relating to the Wcmls route or stock installed. I was going to install them after the DTG update, but the route no longer works. I was wondering if DTG implemented a general mod in the update for example signal visuals, better rain , ballast, etc. I have in past had one mod causing the whole game to not work when TSW5 came out, it was a coach suspension mod for the TransPennine route, which I removed.

 

No, everything core is much the same I think. I'm using all my 'baseline' mods (better signal visuals, God Mode, Jetwash's lighting, better rain etc.) with no issues with the WCMLS Enhancement Pack. Sadly it sounds like a mod somewhere is conflicting; I've had a few crashes on startup recently which I've sorted by reducing the number of mods being loaded, using Mod Manager and grouping mods into groups. So now I've got enhancement packs for different routes in separate groups, so that conflicts between them are avoided.

 

It is 100% being caused by a mod. Mods don’t conflict in the sense that they may cause a crash, they would only conflict in that one may override another stopping it working.

What you will have somewhere in your DLC folder will be something you don’t realise is for WCMLS and that is outdated and causing the crash. Absolutely nothing in any part of the WCMLS EP mod or new TT is causing it, I’m 100% confident of that. An individual mod can cause a crash if it isn’t compatible with the latest game update, and only the respective mod author can sort that out.

My suggestion would be to;

1) Remove all mods from your DLC folder and try and load the route
2) If that works great. Add in the EP and TT and check that works. Finally go through your other mods with a fine tooth comb and identify which one it is that is modding this route and causing it to crash
3) If number 1 doesn’t work then, with all mods removed, go in to steam and run the file verify function as you have an issue with your actual game files

 

Hi,
joffonon#1689 can you give a link that explains how to manage groups with TSW Mod Manager ?

 

https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world/c75-utilities/i1093-tsw-mod-manager-221
They're called collections, rather than groups, sorry.

 

I will remove mods and see if the route works ok, and put them back one by one to find out which one is causing the issue.
I do hope that it not the Fife Circle one, as that route needs the mod. Will let the forum know in case someone else comes across
this issue.

this issue. When all is working fine I will apply the Wcmls enhancement pack. The files have been verified and all is good.

 

If it is, set up a Fife Circle collection in Mod Manager with that EP, and a WCMLS collection with that EP. Deactivate the former when playing the latter, and vice versa. I started doing that when the BCC EP was conflicting with the Fife Circle one.

 

Don’t worry, it isn’t anything at all to do with Fife Circle. At the risk of repeating myself, you will have A N Other mod that directly affects WCMLS outwith this EP that is causing your problem.

 

This latest update along with the timetable mod and the latest update for lossless scaling which is now 2.13.1 I believe with a beta of 3.0
This was after I clean installed my graphics drivers and clean installed the game hoping for a clean slate

 

Does this mod, or modding in general, also work with the PC Gamepass Version, or only on Steam based TSW?
Asking because I bought all TSW Content for Xbox, and could use it with Gamepass on PC as well.
Dont really want to buy all again on Steam

 

Is the updated freight timetable still going ahead or has development on this route ceased?

 

It’s waiting for the release of some upcoming products like the Intermodal Cargo Pack and the Class 86

 

They actually entered service on the WCMLs covering for Class 319 diagrams so the latter could go off lease. With the 5 car units yet to enter service I assume these diagrams are now worked by 350s.
As with the 304s, 309s and 323s they may operate into Euston on very rare occasions.

So if there was a Class 730 3 and 5 car pack DTG may stick a couple of the Orange n Purple units on the WCML South route. Though the star of the show would be the 110mph mainline units.

Glad there's no plans to use a repainted 710 to represent the 730s, it doesn't look right and you won't get more than 75mph out of them, totally stuffing the timetable up.

 

I remember seeing in a few Timetables and photos the 323s did venture out as far as Northampton in passenger service at some point in their life, not that it can be replicated in game though.

 

Thats great news. Appreciate the response mate. Ta.
