Weird contrast and road lighting issue

Featured Replies

Hi everyone! I recently purchased Openlc aurope and when i loaded in for the first time my 3d night lighting looked like this: https://imgur.com/a/ke8GcSq

If you look in the distance the contrast of the lights are waaaay to high, it almost looks bloody red in some places.

And the highway lights are cutoff in the middle.

Anyone know any fix to this?

Bumping your own topic an hour after posting it?

For the contrast: are you using any third-party shaders or default?

As for the highway lights cutting off, this is normal. Not all highways (especially rural ones) are lit up in real life and OpenLC renders this perfectly.

Kinda want it fixed🙁

You have your answer on both. 

Envshade will cause roads to be more lit up in the distance. If you don't want it, either restore original shaders or check with the developers. 

The highway lights cutting off is normal. 

Turning on FXAA at night can reduce this effect somewhat.  I'm running P3Dv4.5.  It may be different with P3Dv5.

I'm also using envshade and love it.

You could also try reducing HDR lighting below 1.0.
