Rear lights. Will they ever work?

Sorry if this is wrong place for this thread, maybe i should ask in support.
In current state of this game rear lights of cars are just a fiction. They gives you 0 light. Its very annoying if you driving in the night at the dark tracks. Does s397 have plans to fix this problem?

 

Hmm,the rear lights are working...

 

Ehm... maybe its only problem of gt3 pack? Because usually i can see smth like this:

 

try changing your PP level. Gently tho, it will affect fps.

 

This screenshot taken with maximum graphic settings.I found video with exactly the same problem. Take a look at McLarens back lights

 

In the video they all have working brakelights, but as you said, the McLaren 650S has very thin appearing brakelights and thus are difficult to see.

 

They should cast light to the surrounding more though.
Also it could not hurt to make them stronger. With the new led lights I am sometimes still surbrised in real life how bright those rear brake lights can be even during the day.

 

Yep they need to be stronger.

 

In real life you have various intensity of light available, while in computer simulations the light intensity is limited to the constant backlight of your screen (unless you have an HDR screen, where there is a bit more playroom). So a concept of stronger light doesn't really exist in that sense in PC games.

 

But some games/sims have stronger lights so its possible to do, of course.

 

Even in nfs porshe unleashed lights made better than this crap.

 

@mr.Sw1tchblade your "English isn't my first language" excuse is wearing thin. You'll be ignored if you start talking trash.

 

You can see my screenshot in this thread. This is maximum graphics @ rtx 2080 videocard@Bathurst. Try to take a ride in the night with gt3 cars there. Ok, Porshe unleashed maybe too extreme example(but you can actually drive car in the night there because you always have light from surrounding , primitive but you have it),sorry.

 

Yeah, it's almost impossible to see the brake lights. I hope 397 add some glow to make them more visible.

 

Also you can see 1 car not from gt3 pack on my screenshot. It doest have back lights/stop signals at all.

 

Ok lets calm down a bit. rF2 is not crap. Far from it. I agree though that some rear lights are really hard to see. Maybe those particular cars could get a boost. Not something i prioritize but it would be nice. Wouldnt hurt if S397 looked into it when they have time since it would enhance the product.

 

Yep, but my point is that the game does not control the backlight of your monitor, so the only way to make anything seem "stronger" is to alter the color, there is no real stronger light available. And the glow of course that extends the area of backlight, but glow comes from using post effects and many people have those disabled.

 

Man the same few people will always always always find a way to make an excuse when someone request an improvement or point an issue with the game.
The light is weak on default content, headlights is the same (too dependent on PP high or ultra to look decent) it's not about the monitor. What the heck man........

 

The issue (I think) is... When YOU drive behind a car, your headlights illuminate the car infront and it washes out the rear lights of the car in front. If you turn off your headlights, you can see perfectly well when the car infront brakes... Brake lights are really hard to get the maximum intensity from, get them to bloom, but not bloom too much, but it doesn't really matter when your head lights will kill any detail and wash out the brake lights of the car in front of you anyway.

 

I get the guys frustratation when u just get oh the reason rf2 can't do it blah blah blah

Sorry i agree lights look awful in this Especially rears. With all the new gfx systems now u would of thought would of improved The look of rf2


Back light of the monitor..... f me what next depends what color pants I've got on.
