    Hello everyone,

    In VR there are some situations that the Sun increases extremely the exposure or contrast, here is an example in official SEBRING
    I have WMR HP Reverb G2. Here is an screenshot from WMR portal:

    Here trough lenses:

    As you can see the ground is almost completely white.

    Do you know how can I solve this?

    Thanks a lot
    Best regards

    I have some relief that it's not only me. If you want a trick before it's fixed put manually clouds, like 75% clouds and it looks so nice.

    But only sun is way to contrasted honestly

    First of all I apologize for my English, I translated with the automatic translator from Italian. Now I have lost hope. Even the latest update didn't fix the track brightness issue in VR. Sebring and many other tracks remain too bright (almost white to the eye in some places) if the sky is clear (the problem is very evident at 2pm). I think it's a problem of how the sunlight reflects off the track, in fact if the sky is cloudy you can see everything. The problem can only be solved by developers. Perhaps a setting that allows you to maintain the brightness of the sun as if the sky were always cloudy would be sufficient. In the forums the problem was reported a long time ago, so I guess the developers don't mind fixing it. Please fix this as it is not possible to participate in online leagues in VR.

    It was mentioned that it is the exposure that is too high, which makes sense, strange how more people aren't getting the same problem:(

    They probably haven't tried in the conditions where it gives problems, like sebring with clear skies at 2 pm

    Or the perception of everyone is different.
    With the same conditions, some people need to wear sunglasses and others no.

    There's a bloom effect caused by post processing, try to reduce the post processing effects level or disable it on the external graphics configurator, maybe it helps.

    Thanks for your reply, but I always keep the post processing effects off.

    Sorry for my English, I translated with the translator from Italian.
    In all other simulators (or games) this problem does not exist, so either all the others are wrong, or in rFactor2 there is something wrong.
    Remaining only on rFactor2 why in some tracks yes and in others not? If it were as you say it should be that sunlight everywhere.
    Having said that I want to assume that you are right, so if it is a matter of personal perception, all the more so I ask the developers to provide a tool to adjust the maximum sunlight.

    Original italian message:
    Scusa per il mio inglese, ho tradotto con il traduttore dall'italiano.
    In tutti gli altri simulatori (o giochi) questo problema non esiste, quindi o tutti gli altri sono sbagliati, o in rFactor2 c'è qualcosa di sbagliato.
    Restando solo su rFactor2 perchè in alcune piste si e in altre no? Se fosse come dici dovrebbe essere ovuque quella luce solare.
    Detto questo voglio ipotizzare che abbia ragione tu, quindi se è una questione di percezione personale a maggior ragione chiedo agli sviluppatori di fornire uno strumento per regolare la luce massima del sole.

    For me is ok if the developers add the option to configure this. I agree with this.
    But you said "They probably haven't tried in the conditions where it gives problems, like sebring with clear skies at 2 pm".
    I've tried it, and for me is ok. That's all. In fact i race with the OP, and i know the exact conditions of the race that this postis referred to.
    The perception of the visuals are very different for different people.
    Some people don't like the excesive ligh conditions and others don't like the dark ones. Some can't race with aliasing and it's ok for other. Some need a big FOV or a big sweet spot, meanwhile others no.
    I don't say that this is ok. I say that those light conditions don't bother me.
    A perfect example of this, is the new UI. I prefer a white UI than a dark one.
    There is no accounting for tastes.

    I tried the release candidate at sebring. I don't think anything has changed. Do I have to put a particular setting? Do you find it changed?

    I've managed to remove overexposure in VR with help of Reshade. As Reshade works in VR now I've used MagicHDR.fx to setup exposure to my own preferences. And it works!
