Track texture issue

I'm hoping someone can help.

I've noticed in some tracks that the track tarmac texture sometimes shows up darker in game than it does in GP4builder. For example in the 2019 Interlagos track the pitlane shows the correct colour but the track looks darker - and they both use the same texture!. Could there be a setting in a track file or in the graphics config which could be causing this strange issue?

do you have bumpmapping activated, neil?

No I've always had that turned off, is that the issue?

I just selected bumpmap track in the graphics config file and it just turns the track too light, - only the pitlane part of the track shows the actual tarmac colour!

it's ok, if the bumpmap track is off, because if it's on, that would be a reason why you have different tarmac colours

Hi Neil.
I use bump map at 0.
0 ; Bump map track (requires DP3; 0 => off)
The texture is purposely dark due to maintain fidelity.
The track received a new layer of asphalt a few years ago.

Hi, Augusto

I just can't understand why the pitlane texture colour is correct but the track is much darker - when they both use the same tarmac texture

Are the normals of the trackXX objects in gp4 builder inverted?

I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

No I checked the normals and that didn't change anything - might just have to live with it, it's not a major thing, I'm just curious as to why it happens on one or two tracks

This is curious.
I know that I spent some time to match the colors. There is something I am not remembering.

You could try adding this to the INI file:

[TarmacColor]
AdjustRed=2
AdjustGreen=4
AdjustBlue=6
