    Is it possible to increase German Signal Brightness?

    I was running Frankfurt - Koblenz but I'm having difficulty with the Signals as they don't seem as bright as those on other routes and I'm quite close to them before I realise I have a Distant showing a Warning to Stop.

    Anyone else have an opinion on these Signals?

    Thanks

    Peter

    Not possible BUT; i modded the lightglows, and that makes some difference. Add to that yellow will actually be the correct colour.

    The lightsignals on Frankfurt Koblenz are IMPOSSIBLE to see at anything but close range. It’s one of the things i’ve asked DTG for, but as usual they don’t care whether their German DLC is playable. It only got better after they switched to Schuster signals.

    Remind me tommorow and i will prepare the “fix” for you.

    If its anything like signals on the rail network in West Australia then they need to be dimmed a bit and then placed at angles that make them nearly impossible to see

    Thanks Kim,

    Do you know of an upgrade for this route to use Schuster signals?

    EDIT
    I found something on RailSim.de

    Are there AP signal pack patches for that route? If there are, this is one of the main reasons for getting the AP signal pack - you can see the things from miles away, just like in real life, even in daylight.

    The problems with it being a German route is the signals are so much different.

    Good idea though.

    Thanks Kim,

    I will give that a miss.
    I was trying copying the RSSLO lights to see if it made any difference but it does not seem to.
    The Signals are not really visible until you are close up
    I have even zoomed in slightly in the picture but the signal is not easy to see

    Yes, of course... sorry ;) I'd not recognise a German signal if you hit me over the head with it.
