Please read the changelog for important information
NOTE | This mod has grown to be far bigger than I ever expected (over 100,000 downloads which is crazy!) and it had become increasingly difficult to keep track of. After a couple of requests along these lines, I've now made the decision to bring it back into a single mod. You must delete all previous elements of this mod for it to function correctly.
This mod is intended for use with TSW5 only and I cannot, and will not, guarentee it works with TSW4 any longer
If anyone has noticed a unit I've not looked at with light and/or LOD issues let me know & I'll take a look
Changelog
- DB BR 111 | Salzburg - Rosenheim | Improved the headlights. Brings this unit to the same spec as Frankfurt Fulda
- MBTA F40PH-3C | Boston - Worcester | Significantly reduced the brightness of this locos headlights as they were set to an absolute comedy value. Most correctly set headlights in the game are generally in the tens of thousands of lumens, prior to this mod the headlight brightness on this unit was set to 4,000,000 (4 million!) lumens which, in my opinion made it almost unusable. They are now set to a much more realistic level
- EMD F125 & Rotem Cabcars | San Bernadino | LOD and attenuation radius fix for the headlights on both units. Now the same spec as the Antelope Valley version
- ScotRail Class 170 | Fife Circle | Added the missing assetreg fix which I'd mistakenly ommitted
- Class 700 | South Eastern Highspeed | Made compatible with DTG's 21/01/25 update
- MBTA F40PH-3C | Boston - Worcester | Re the above 'new addition', the lights were still too bright with the hindsight of further testing so the've had their intensity reduced yet further
- Class 801 Azuma | East Coast Mainline (and Fife EP & WCMLS EP 805 | Reduced the cab light intensity to usable levels, reduced the carriage interiors to a more realistic intensity, improved headlight throw distance as well as softened the tone
- Class 700 | South Eastern Highspeed | Reduced the cab light intensity, significantly reduced the intensity of the carriage interior lights. Fixed the headlight LOD issue that caused the lights of trains to spontaneously appear right in front of you
- Class 142 | Preston Blackpool | Increased the LOD of the interior passengers. A work-in-progress as there is a core issue involved, but better than it was
- Class 314 | Cathcart Circle | Increased the attenuation radius and brightness slightly of the headlight
- BR103 | Left Rhine | Improved the headlight draw distance and brightness
- RABe 523 | Lucerne - Sursee | Improved draw distance of the headlights and fixed the headlight LOD issue
- ICE 3 | Kassel - Wurzburg | Fixed the headlight LOD in the same way as the Class700, with the lights now visible from a realistic distance
- Class 385 | Edinburgh - Glasgow | Fixed the headlight LOD as above
- DB BR 628 | Niddertalbahn | Increased attenuation and intensity somewhat to throw a realistic amount of light ahead of the cab
- 1972 Tube Stock | Bakerloo Line | Added a fix to significantly reduce the intensity of the saloon lights to realistic levels
- Class 465 | South Eastern High Speed | Fixed the headlight LOD and reduced the intensity of the bugged and 'always on' cab light to make it less jarring and more realistic
- OBB 4024 Talent 1 | Voralberg | Increased the headlight intensity to make night driving a much more rewarding and realistic experience
- BR Class 314 | Glasgow Cathcart Circle | Increased the headlight intensity to make night driving a much more rewarding and realistic experience
- RhB ABe 8/12 Allegra and RhB EW1 Coach | Bernia Line | Improves the headlight intensity and LOD (too short, yet again!), the cab light and the passenger saloon lights for both the unit itself and the EW1 coach
- EMD F125 & Rotem Cabcars | Antelope Valley | LOD fix for the headlights on both these units. Compatible with Spikee1975's cab-cam mod
- DB BR 143 | Dresden - Riesa | Headlight LOD fixes and increased intensity
- LUL 72 Stock | Bakerloo Line | Increased the brightness of the headlights on the LUL72Stock to make them more realistic
- Railpool BR 193 Vectron | Voralberg | Fixed the headlight LOD pop-in
- Class 710 | WCMLS & Goblin Line | Reduced the intensity of the headlights on the Class 710 as they are unrealistically bright by default
- Class 170 | Fife Circle | Fixed the headlight LOD (yet again), reduced the intensity of the cab light and significantly reduced the intensity of the noticeboard light. Reduced the intensity of the saloon lighting as it was far too stark and bright
- Class 43 HST | Midland Mainline | Fixed to be compatible with the latest patch and increased the intensity of the headlights. Compatible with Spikee1975's cab-cam mod
- ScotRail Class 158 | Skyhook Games | Added a fix to subtly increase the brightness of this units headlights. Compatible with Spikee1975's CabCam mod
- Class 380 | Cathcart Circle | Increased the attenuation radius and intensity of the headlights as well as increasing the LOD distance making them visible at greater distances. Compatible with Spikee1975's cab-cam mod
- Class 72 Stock | WCMLS | Reduced the excessive brightness of the saloon lighting and increased the strength of the headlights
- Class 390 Pendolino | WCMLS | Reduced the intensity of the cab light. Fixed the headlights to actually provide illumination and also fixed the default issue that was causing the headlight to disappear when the train tilted
- DB BR 111 | Frankfurt Fulda | Improved the headlights so they actually cast beyond the unit (this is the 111 that comes with the N-Wagon pack)
- DB BR 111 | Salzburg - Rosenheim | Improved the headlights so they actually cast beyond the unit. Brings this unit to the same spec as Frankfurt Fulda
- MBTA F40PH-3C | Boston - Worcester | Significantly reduced the brightness of this locos headlights as they were set to an absolute comedy value. Most correctly set headlights in the game are generally in the tens of thousands of lumens, prior to this mod the headlight brightness on this unit was set to 4,000,000 (4 million!) lumens which, in my opinion made it almost unusable. They are now set to a much more realistic level
- EMD F125 & Rotem Cabcars | San Bernadino | LOD and attenuation radius fix for the headlights on both units. Now the same spec as the Antelope Valley version
This includes and is compatible with Laika's Orange PIS fix where appropriate. Huge thanks to Laika for helping make it compatible. The Class 801 is not currently compatible with Arans PIS mod'
NOTE The passengers and/or the lighting on some of the units have been set up incorrectly by DTG. With no mods installed, at night, the passengers are just pitch black outlines of characters. Unfortunately this isn't fixable via a mod and where you see it with this installed is default behaviour

Just for clarification - what pre-existind mods need to be removed before using this one?
JetWash 23 Dec 2023
The 700 lighting fix and Class 801 lighting fix. Hope that helps.
Stexred 23 Dec 2023
is the 700 this one? !!!JetWash-Laika-TSW4-Class700CarriageLights-OrangePIS.pak ?
JetWash 23 Dec 2023
Yes, that’s the one. Sorry to change the format but I can imagine it could fast get out of control with a number of small mods. It makes much more sense to roll them into one.
Omonyo 30 Dec 2023
RABe 523 driveable at night no less! All your mods are amazing and reflect the huge work, enthusiasm and dedication you put in them. Many many thanks for it. And of course, wish you a happy new year!
JetWash 30 Dec 2023
Thankyou! Happy New Year to you too
Fawx 30 Dec 2023
Sorry to be a pain, do these individual files replace "!!!JetWash-TSW4-LightingLODFixes.pak" ?
JetWash 31 Dec 2023
Hey. Yep, apologies and it won’t change again, but remove any and all previous versions, stand alone or all-in-one
User 30 Dec 2023
Do we remove JetWash-TSW4-Class700CarriageLights.pak?
JetWash 31 Dec 2023
Hey. Yep, apologies and it won’t change again, but remove any and all previous versions, stand alone or all-in-one
Stexred 31 Dec 2023
from seperate mods to single to seperate mods again lol
JetWash 31 Dec 2023
It won’t change again, don’t worry!
Myron 31 Dec 2023
hey, could you perhaps make the light cone from the KWG ICE 3 render when farther away? it disappears when not even 100 meters away, it really sucks!
JetWash 31 Dec 2023
I’ll have a look. Increasing LODs on ToDv3 trains is tricky (slash impossible) but you never know. I’ll have a look next time I get chance. Which route is that?
Myron 31 Dec 2023
Kassel-Würzburg (KWG, as said), it's actually a TOD4 route/train, so it shouldn't be that bad I guess :)
JetWash 31 Dec 2023
Sorry, I’m away and read it quickly on my phone. Will take at look when I get back. Thanks.
JetWash 2 Jan 2024
Fixed for you in the latest version
Myron 2 Jan 2024
thank you! appreciate it :)
JetWash 2 Jan 2024
If there are any others let me know 😇
Myron 2 Jan 2024
not at the moment, and luckily the other two ICE 3s don't have the same issue, but I will let you know if I discover another too short headlight LOD :)
Omonyo 2 Jan 2024
For me at least, Niddertalbahn TSG 628 has really short light cones. Would be nice to have it fixed, specially after that route has become usable thanks to your ini settings mod! Thank you so much!
Myron 2 Jan 2024
well actually there is the Railbow ICE 3 but I am not sure if it's worth it as I plan on making an ICE 3 enhancement pack in the future which may or may not also include a Railbow/rainbow livery variant, where the KWG version would pick up the LOD fix from the mod aswell, I hope. we'll see.
JetWash 2 Jan 2024
I’ll have a look at the 628 but don’t own the Railbow ICE3 so can’t do anything on that one unfortunately.
Carl501 9 Apr 2024
Rainbow ICE3. Let it die
Myron 10 Apr 2024
Don't need the Railbow ICE 3 DLC anymore anyways as Nagiphaaa is working on implementing that in the next version of her ICE 3 Enhancement Pack, as she revealed. I agree, the DLC itself isn't that great/accurate. Luckily we'll have a better alternative for it sooner or later.
Dinosbacsi 1 Jan 2024
Do these work in TSW3 as well?
JetWash 1 Jan 2024
I'm don't think they will unfortunately although you could give it a try. If they don't just remove the .pak file.
Dinosbacsi 4 Jan 2024
Yeah, they don't seem to work in TSW3 sadly. Tried the BR628 headlight mod and the game crashed instantly when trying to load the BR628 :(
Big sad, would be nice to be able to see at night on the Niddertalbahn.
Omonyo 3 Jan 2024
Thanks a lot for the new additions! You're an amazing hard worker! Many many thanks!
Omonyo 14 Jan 2024
Hi! Perhaps it's me or my graphics configuration, but I find Glasgow Cathcart Circle Series 314 too short and weak in its headlight cone. Maybe IRL was like modelled in game, but personally I find it a little uncomfortable to drive at night compared to other same age UK units. Would appreciate your comments. Thanks a lot.
JetWash 16 Jan 2024
Sorted! ;-)
Omonyo 16 Jan 2024
Now it's perfect! That was quick, sir! Thanks again for your amazing hard work! You are amazing!
B44444 16 Jan 2024
Thank you so much for pursuing my suggestion of adding it for the 72 stock, the lights seemed way too bright and unnatural so this mod really helps my immersion! :D
JetWash 26 Jan 2024
No worries. Sorry it took me so long to get around to it!
Broskev 30 Jan 2024
Hello there! Thank you for all your fantastic work. I am quite new at this, so have to ask... Is it actually impossible to make outside things visible at night when headlights are on? I still see pitch black outside in front of me e.g. in OBB4024 at night. Yes, some poles are illuminated and when headlights set to "Bright", I can see railroad 10 m in front of me, but that's it. The rest is pitch black. Is that the limitation what the mod can do? Thank you for the answer.
Broskev 31 Jan 2024
And here is the picture of what it looks like if I have high beams selected. https://imgur.com/a/txSwrPX
JetWash 2 Feb 2024
I’ll have another look at it when I next get chance. Remember I recommend adding a touch of Volumetric Fog when driving at night.
Broskev 5 Feb 2024
Yes, if there is fog, somehow the whole scenery becomes illuminated. I understand the options might be very limited...
JetWash 5 Feb 2024
I’ve done something with it, will likely upload today
Broskev 6 Feb 2024
Thank you. Will give it a try.
Saurav Mitra 7 Feb 2024
Can i put all the pak files into one single dlc folder?
JetWash 7 Feb 2024
There is one DLC folder, all mod .pak files go in there.
Tavish 23 Feb 2024
When I use the F125 LOD fix, it reverts CabCam improvements back to the default camera position.
leichm 2 Oct 2024
JetWash I guess doesn't care about the US side. I asked if there will be more then just this one. No answer.
JetWash 2 Oct 2024
What are you talking about? There are many mods for the US content already. I haven't seen the same issues on that content either. I can't fix what isn't broken. I'm also busy and do this as a hobby, so get back in your box.
Omonyo 27 Jun 2024
The new Class 218 is really a nice loco, but I'm sure it would be even nicier if you could do your magic on it... Of course only if you have the time and the mood, and you think like i do that lighting for this mainly well done work is not optimized. No request at all. Thanks for your impressive work! For me your mods are essential and absolutely game changers.
DenisJura 9 Jul 2024
Just a note: and thanks for your work.. With the upgrade from Glasgow Cathcart circle to TSW4 lighting !!!JetWash-TSW4-Class314-Headlight does not work. The windows are no longer transparent
JetWash 18 Jul 2024
I will have a look at it. With the TOD4 change it may well no longer be needed. How is the headlight brightness etc with the default train?
OleDre 12 Jul 2024
If and when you have the time and it can be fixed, the one mod for the 314 is broken again causing the Iced Window Effect. I put this together, to let people know and maybe assist in showing how I figured out what was causing this issue.

JetWash 4 Aug 2024
Fixed 👍🏻
OleDre 4 Aug 2024
Thanks 👍
JLD95 4 Aug 2024
thanks for 380 mod
JetWash 4 Aug 2024
No problem
DenisJura 4 Aug 2024
Great Thanks for the 380 !
JetWash 4 Aug 2024
No problem
Xander1986 5 Aug 2024
Hi JetWash,
Can you check the 380 Mod? They have a conflict with the Spikee CabCam mod for the 380! Its a conflict there. Thanks!
JetWash 6 Aug 2024
Done
Xander1986 6 Aug 2024
Thanks :))))
Alex96 17 Sept 2024
JetWash, you will make a Enhancement Pack for WCML? with the real LNWR branding on the trains and stations? just like you did with the Island Line 2022, where you put the real SWR livery on the trains
JetWash 17 Sept 2024
I didn’t do anything for the Island Line. It is highly likely there will be a mod for WCMLS although I cannot say when.
Fungaming 17 Sept 2024
Quick question for TSW5 do we just download the
!!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-72Stock.pak
!!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-Class390Pendolino.pak
or do we also need the other 3 ?
TSW 5 | Lighting & Graphic Enhancement v1.01
TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One
because the following one has not been updated from the looks of it for TSW5
UK Rolling Stock Orange PIS Fix (TSW4 Compatible)
JetWash 17 Sept 2024
All mods work with TSW5 as it’s the same game as TSW4.
leichm 29 Sept 2024
Is there a plan to do more US routes or just AVL (Antelope Valley)?

The above files are both needed? Apologies if I confused ya.
Or does one replace the other?
JetWash 1 Oct 2024
They’re different units. One is the Class 710, the other the 72 stock London Underground train.
OleDre 1 Oct 2024
Been up all night my error, I meant to ask about the
!!!JetWash-TSW4-Class170Lights.pak
and
!!!JetWash-TSW5-WCMLS-Class710.pak
Sorry about that.
JetWash 1 Oct 2024
It’s ok. Same again though, one is for the Class 170 (Scotrail), the other is for the Goblin & WCMLS Class 710.
OleDre 2 Oct 2024
okay, thank you for the info. 👍
Redbus 6 Oct 2024
Thank you for these. Would it be possible to have these in an all-in-one PAK file? My DLC folder is jammed to the gunwales and it's getting hard to keep track of all the great mods I'm using.
Becks_23 9 Oct 2024
Got a CTD with the Class 465 and this mod. No problems without it...
JetWash 13 Oct 2024
Can't re-create it I'm afraid, it loads fine for me with no CTD
Miffy 22 Oct 2024
Sorry Jetwash, just to confirm, we're now removing the Pendilino 390, class 710 & class 72 pak files?
ResurrectorRTX 22 Oct 2024
Yes if you intend to use the WCMLS enhancement pack, no if you don't want to use the pack but want to keep the fixes. :)
Miffy 23 Oct 2024
Thanks ResurrectorRTX, I'd taken a punt anyway, and disabled them.
brandvizag 22 Oct 2024
You should leave those files for WCMLS trains as most PCs may not handle your mod and may use them as an alternative for lightinng
Miffy 22 Oct 2024
I'm not physically removing the files, I'm just disabling in the TSW Mod manager :p
DenisJura 21 Nov 2024
Hello : With the new Fife circle update, problem with your class 170 light : the passengers are standing in the train..
Thank's for all your patch..
Denis (France)
benjibatch 29 Nov 2024
Is it just me or is there no mod for the 390 in the list of downloads ?
JetWash 30 Nov 2024
It's included in the WCMLS Enhancement Pack now.

Hi. With a recent DLC is much easier (cheaper...) now to get the DB BR 111 loco. But unfortunately it has almost no headlights, making it impossible to drive at night... Perhaps a little bit of your magic there... Not a request; of course only if you've got the time and mood. Would be nice! Thanks for all your work!
JetWash 27 days ago
Yeah, sure. I’ll take a look next chance I get
Omonyo 27 days ago

Could we see one ofr the class 313 and 323 in the future?
Jonathony 20 days ago
hi,
Just want to thank you !! the little BR628 is one of my favorite but the headlights were so poor that i didn't want to drive at night and i couldn't see the speed limit signals (i play in immersive mode)
Huge improvement ! Thanks for you work, if it's amazing with others locos, it will be great.
Omonyo 19 days ago
Could be really nice too getting the headlights you've made for the FTF BR111 working in the SRM's one. It unfortunately has the same issue that the FTF's had before your work. Now, with your mod, is possible to drive perfectly in "inmersive mode" at night, because you can see the signals, really essential for PZB use. Only if you feel on the mood and have the time, never a request of course. Thank you sooo much!
Omonyo 18 days ago
Sorry for the request concerning SRM 111, because there's a mod around here that gives nice headlight to it Simply, it was not compatible with another mod I had installed. Once deleted, it works perfectly. Thanks again for your nice work!
JetWash 2 days ago
Will see what I can do
Omonyo 2 days ago
Many thanks for the update and for the SRM 111 fix! You're great sir! Thanks again!

Hi Jetwash just to let you know the most recent class 700 update has messed up the !!!JetWash-TSW4-Class700Lights.pak mod.
Here's a screenshot. I know it is this mod causing as I removed every mod and readded them one by one, then when it happened removed every other mod but that one.

I'll fix it today. I've a few updates and new stuff to put up so will include it with that. Thanks for letting me know.
