Clinchfield Reimagined

I present to you Clinchfield Reimagined. A texture mod for the Clinchfield route for Train Sim World 2. My primary objective was to get rid of some of the repetitive patterns in the textures, and since I was going to do as much, I decided to adjust the tone of said textures to bring together the terrain, and make all it's features feel a bit more cohesive. I feel as if now I've finally managed to get a good balance of color between all the terrain textures, and they truly work together well with the colors of the foliage, which in turn makes foliage distance culling almost invisible. In any case, with my mod, everything should be a little bit easier on the eyes, whilst maintaining the original artistic vision of DTG and realistically depicting Eklhorn City, KY to Dante, VA.

I initially created this with no intention of releasing it to the public, however I am actually quite pleased with how it makes the route look and thought that if I do, so will others. I feel like I made it look as good as I can. If you have any suggestions on changing any features, please feel free to let me know.

If you like my work, and would like to support future modding endeavors, please consider a donation, anything is appreciated.

Minor tweaks to other textures

Replaced 2 ground textures along with their respective Diffuse, Specular, Mask (where applicable) and Normal maps.
