Haha, I'm not sure... Your guess is as good as mine... Though I have to admit the first of the two looks awfully familiar...
The second one is putnam park. Need to look closer at the first one... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

+1 I love rfactor 2 graphics with HDR on and the time of day set to afternoon between 3pm to 5pm. Morning is also good.
There's an option in-game under Settings>Display Settings or in the launcher you can go into 'configure sim' and enable it there.
So i enabled HDR like some of you suggested. It does improve visuals. Everything is brighter in sunny conditions. It looks like you're out in the sun. Cars look a little weird to me. Slightly cartoonish, like made of plastic. Maybe it was there without HDR, but i didn't notice. Still alot to been done with graphics quality.
This is the extreme end of 'graphics' that I feel is not as important when simulating a car. Yes, graphics are necessary, but only in providing an accurate map between real-life cause and effect and simulated cause and effect. If you can see car, track, track details, marbles, racing line, racing line progression, and mirrors (I'm sure there are some missing here) - then does it really matter how beautifully rendered they are? Of course we'd all like things to look photo-real. Immersion is important. But my argument about the physics, feedback, and sound being priority over graphics was exactly this. To me, changing an 'almost accurate' physics engine into a 'wonderfully accurate' physics engine would take priority over 'making cars less cartoonish' in any serious simulator package. Have you seen the simulators the F1 teams use? I'm not sure what software they're using but they certainly don't look very photo-real to me!
I haven't. I wear glasses. Walking around in real world without, would feel terrible and unrealistic. Sight is a great part of a sim. The whole sense of speed and how fast you're going depends on what you see. Besides i admire the beautiy of racing cars. I could look at videos and photo's but that would never be the same as racing in a sim. I gladly admit being spoiled by Gran turismo's cars. If ISI could pull that of i would be perfectly happy. Would be interesting knowing what priority ISI gives visuals in a sim. I haven't forgot sound either. Having 5.1 sound that works would do alot to realism. As of now my back speakers are silent.
I have two problems enabling HDR. Fps is cut by about 10, giving me around 40, with cars nearby. That's close to being to little to be smooth. The very cool Windscreen reflections are gone and replaced by something that looks like dust on the screen. Maybe i'll go back.
