Here is the lastest changes made for RW Enhancer. You should receive an email with your download link each time RWE is updated. If this is not the case please look into your "Spam" mail box.

Version 1.09 (19/09/2019)

Shaders/Effects:

- Added support of new TS2020 shader based effect.
- Tweaked image contrast and desaturation level.

Configuration Software:

- Added support for Train Simulator 2020. (please reinstall/recompile shaders in the configuration software)
- Updated default shaders used for the backup/restoration process.
- Minor performance improvements.
- Minor UI improvement and fixes.

Version 1.08 (18/01/2019)

Shaders/Effects:

- Improved specular reflections intensity level.
- Slightly reduced HDR exposure level.

Configuration Software:

- Added 0% bloom intensity setting. Only use this setting if you really dont like the Bloom effect.
- Minor optimizations and fixes.

Version 1.07 (11/01/2019)

Shaders/Effects:

- Minor visual improvements and optimizations.

Configuration Software:

- New "Reflections Enhancements" setting is now exposed in the configuration software. Enabled by default, it can be disabled if you do not like the shiny/glossy look of metallic/water surfaces.
- New "Color Banding Fix" setting is now exposed in the configuration software. Enabled by default.
- Made some changes to the installer and executable file to reduce anti-virus softwares false positives detection rate in the future.
- Minor fixes.

Version 1.06 (04/01/2019)

Shaders/Effects:

- Improved SSAO effect quality.
- Improved glass reflectivity color boost.
- Slightly reduced metallic surfaces reflections power.
- Fixed an issue with SSAO and ambient occlusion maps color blending. Lighting on some objects will be much nicer now.
- Fixed "bright/foggy" rendering issue on some glass and cabin gauges when "Glass Rendering Enhancements" setting was enabled.
- Fixed "dirty" effect that was appearing on some cabin gauges when "Glass Rendering Enhancements" setting was enabled.

Configuration Software:

- Added a "shaders out of date" notification when changing any setting.
- Fixed some localization issues.

Version 1.05 (31/12/2018)

Shaders/Effects:

- Improved white color balance. White color will be less "saturated" and bright surfaces will look more natural.
- Improved bloom luminance adaptation algorithm.
- Minor optimizations.

Version 1.04 (20/12/2018)

Shaders/Effects:

- Added custom bloom intensity support.
- Lighting improvements.
- Reduced SSAO darkening effect a bit.

Configuration Software:

- New parameter for choosing the desired Bloom intensity (bright light glow effect). 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% intensity preset are available. Bloom can't be disabled completly as it's required for others enhancement effects. The default value of 50% should suit most users.
- Fixed minor german localization issues.
- Minor improvements and fixes.

Version 1.03 (19/12/2018)

Shaders/Effects:

- New "Color Banding Fix" visual enhancement (click here to read more info about this). This effect is directly integrated for everyone. No setting to enable in the configuration software.
- Improved image sharpness.
- Improved color correction algorithm.
- Improved glass and metalic surfaces reflections quality.
- Reduced image desaturation.
- Reduced default bloom power.
- Fixed rain/snow rendering issue introduced in 1.02 version.
- Fixed some reflection related issues.

Configuration Software:

- Deutsche Übersetzung hinzugefügt. (Danke an Lus0rius)
- Added German language localization. (courtesy of Lus0rius)
- Added new "Restore Default Settings" button for convenience.
- Added RWE version number in UI window title.

Version 1.02 (17/12/2018)

Shaders/Effects:

- Improved dynamic reflections rendering method. The reflections are now more dynamic and based on the angle between the camera and surfaces.
- Better rain/snow rendering if AP Sky&Weather pack is installed.
- Better sky color tonemapping.
- Slighly improved rain/snow visibility.
- Fixed rain/snow not rendered at all when "Weather Effect Enhancements" setting is disabled.
- Fixed strong dynamic reflections at night time.

Configuration Software:

- Added new "shaders out of date" status notification when installed shaders are out of date.
- Added TS installation path validity check at startup to see if the TS install path was changed since last run.
- Improved TS installation path validity checks.
- Fixed an issue where TS player profile patching would not work for some users.
- Fixed some localization issues.
- Fixed misc configurator software UI issues.

Version 1.01 (15/12/2018)

Shaders/Effects:

- Better bloom/sky combination algorithm. The sky is now less bloomed and less saturated with white color. (You should try to disable "Low Bloom Intensity" RWE setting if it was previously enabled to really see this change)
- Improved sun glow size. No more nuclear war going on in the distant landscape !
- Reduced final image contrast a bit.

Configuration Software:

- Fixed "2D Vegetation Enhancement" setting wrong description localization in the configuration software.
- Minor fixes in the configuration software.

Version 1.0 (14/12/2018)

Initial release
