For the first time, s397 are making a good job for a night track ! Can you please update Azure (Monaco) night lights like the Bahrain ones please ? Azur night lights are a big big shame :
No one races at Monaco at night. I agree the rF2 lights are even more underwhelming than the real streetlights (it's not very well lit based on real life videos, with headlights in use and very visible at all times; in some places the lighting is quite dull) but it'll never look like Bahrain. Bahrain is lit for racing in real life. Le Mans has quite good lighting I think, where it should be bright as in real life.
Monaco is full of light with or without race by night. The rF2 Azur version is a dead town by night, like after a zombie attack. The AMS2, Project cars2 and F1 2022 Monaco version are perfectly made by night, with full lights in the building. The Azur rF2 track by night is just the representation of the full game : lack of polish, unfinished, incomplete... For Bahrain, the lesson is learnt, hopefully.
The only lesson learned is to add emmisives all over the place, which the buildings at monaco are sorely missing. OIther than that, the lighting itself is nothing to write home about; in the bahrain screenshot above you can see the individual omnilights and how flat the pit building looks. Nothing even seems to be casting shadows - you wouldn´t want them on for driving anyways, but why not for a showcase screenshot? Adding a bunch of shiny stuff always helps to make a good impression; Bahrain looks decent enough but the game needs a proper rework of the lighting in some way before it actually looks good.
I don't like when racetracks at night are 100percent lit by football stadium level. Just drive it at day time then, if your car isn't equipped with headlights. I like how it is in LeMans, super lit on the grid area, and rather dark by some more distant areas, that is how it should be. Azur lights looks appropriate to how they should be. Except that all the apartments looks dead.
they’re lit like that because of series like formula one and formula 2 where it’s just too hot for them to race during the day. The 2005 race at Bahrain was something like 102°F just in the air temperature. The drivers must have got out of the car poached.
Enjoy the new video https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=759718708437694 Finally a track without too much rF2 adverts... but with good sponsors....a new standard
I don't think they'll be included in the release version, but there will be other things in their place.
There was a Grand Am race with the original DP proto's and Wayne Taylor's team won, largely due to the great final stint by Max Angelli. But he was so overcome by heat, they had to get medical people to pull him out of the enclosed cockpit and I assume IV fluids immediately. But! getting back on topic, the race WAS NOT held under the lights nor at Bahrain! <genius segue way?>
I'd have to agree, I really, really dislike the ton of signage that comes on the tracks recently, so yes this is a beauty to see it with some more variety than just MSG/Traxion/rF2 logos everywhere!
