Doug, check your PMs. AI Vettes are trouble for a number of reasons.

Our resident master on the headlight settings is LazyC.

Disclaimer: If you aren't familiar and comfortable with rFactor file editing, modify at your own risk. Be sure and backup any file you edit, test it on the server, wash behind your ears, etc. etc. etc.

-----------------------------------------------

LazyC's comments:

Perhaps itīs the restyle cars that causes the problem, seeing as we havenīt had the problem earlier, and they are the new addition.

Just to follow up on my previous post, you can drop this file: Headlights into the main Fabcar restyle challenge folder and enjoy slightly brighter headlights. That coupled with the numbers chamged:

/------------------------------------Headlights and Tail Lights------------------------------------------------//
//////////////////////////////////////Headlight Projectors/////////////////////////////////////////////
Projector=Headlight
{
Moveable=True Dyn=True Active=False Pos=(0.0, 0.0, -39.0) Dir=(0.0, -.3, -.7) Radius=(15.5) Blend=(InvDstColor, One) Texmap=headlight2.tga


You should be able to see more.

Oh and the name headlight2 changes per mod, but just check the .gen file of any other car to see what the .dds file should be renamed as.

Guys, is there trouble at rFactorCentral? My logins aren't being accepted, and I'm not getting a reminder email yet (about 20 minutes waiting so far).

Try changing the blue numbers to these in the .gen file located in the vehicles folder. If you donīt think itīs quite enough light, just remember to change both numbers. one at a time. It takes a few trackloadings to get it right.
It should work with all the cars, since they all share the same numbers and also notice that some vehicle folders have more than one type of car.
It will not make it like daytime but it does help.

I have a problem in that, I changed my wheel settings last night, because the forcefeedback was terrible, and now the throttle and brake pedal are amazing I can brake about 20m later than normal, but the steering is horrible after about 20 degrees lock the car just spins, I can't drive the Audi because thats twitchy at the best of times, also I can't select an MG Lola because it comes up with missing textures, and I can't select anything but an R8 and Vette, in the car selection screen.

Phew
