RW Enhancer 2 any good?

[ʙᴜɴ.ᴇ]

its a €25 mod so I am curious is it any good?

I currently use AP track enhancement and sky&weather enhancement.

I am tempted to get it as the train announcement, station announcement and radio sounds seem really good, But are the limited in what they say or do they cover every station/train on the game?

As for the lighting effects do they work with the AP sky&weather enhancement? or will it cause problems having both?

and finally is it worth the money at all?

RW Enhancer 2 I use daily on my train rides. For me it is a nice addition and makes TS a bit more immersive. It works well with AP sky&weather. I don't own Ap track! There are a lot of settings you will find, so please get your time with them.

One thing the player could get being annoyed with is the cooking phase before you can use RWE2. The cooking process is needed every time you start RWE2 and it may take its' time, depending on how much scenarios, tracks and rolling stock you have. I can agree with it.

Take a look at https://www.rwcentral.com/store/product/7-rw-enhancer-2/ to see some nice pictures and explanations. It is worth the 25 bugs and the dev is eagerly working on it to get RWE2 running more smoothly on all systems. Give it a go!

Ask yourself a very simple question - is someone, who puts 3rd party adverts on the very same webpage where he sells his product a trustworthy business partner for you?

For me, this is a huge red flag.

I really don't mind, that they basically take open source and freeware and make a customized versions tailored for TSC and that it is still unfinished - this takes time and effort, no problem here, but I really think, that certain things are simply no-no for commercial releases and placing adverts on the same webpage, where their e-shop is, is most definitely one of them.

For me RWE 2 or the PRO version are very cumbersome to use, I use RWE mostly. I don't think that there is any further development on this original version.

You can get an older version for free (just the shaders) if you search the net. Before being called RWEnhancer, it was the freeware "Oldsnake's TS Shader Mod".

I don't have RW enhancer2 but do have enhancer pro. I've always felt a bit of a lone voice as most people seem to like it but for me no end of faffing with the settings has made it better than vanilla trainsim - ultimately it just seems just to make the colours unrealistically bright. I also have the AP weather pack and some scenarios with that it just makes appear pitch black night even though they're daylight scenarios.

I can highly reccomend this program,as well as enhancing the graphics and train sounds,its the announcements,both station,cab,passenger which really bring the sim to life,even sounds in passenger view,QD has been transformed,annoucements for every stop between,its worth the initial outlay,and only takes a few minutes extra to load,lots of options to tweak all the sounds,etc it is still in its early stage,so it can only get better,need a decent pc,

it also adds track sounds amongst others and it makes a big difference to my enjoyment of the sim. It adds station stops to quick drives. I find it well worth it and it is constantly updated. It is still working on the steam engine side of things at the moment.
