a neat rendering feature

if i hadn't noticed.... with all those neat rendering effects such as bump mapping, reflections, and shadows etc.... have Geoff and his team forgot one thing ????

if there are shadows...wheres the light source coming from?
...has anyone noticed theres no sun, just a clear sky with some clouds
"what the?"

this should have been included

[uk.playstation.com]

adds to the realism with sun flares and shadow direction effects.

WTF is that? Cruise missile attack? A nuclear power plant gone havoc? Mars attacks? A Balrog? Schumi's farts exploding?

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

You can enable sun flare in the graphic config file.

Also, the shadows do have a direction. There is (in GP2 and 3, so presumabley GP4) a light source. This can be edited in GP2/3 in track editor, and controls the shadow direction presumably.

But that sun doesn't look realistic at all. It looks plain stupid.

If you really want a sun, if you could find the sky textures you might be able to 'edit' one in.

You can enable sun flare in the graphic config file.

lens flare? It looks daft in agems cs they well over exagerrate it

that sun is just plain silly

im getting annoyed with all the oversized suns and moons in games take GTA vice city for example the moon is huge!!!!

LOL

there is a lense flare option in the f1graphics.cfg but im not seeing anyt flaring lenses

---

it' because you can only see them in onboard but non cockpit views and the effect might not be called lens flare but fade in/out effect.
You will see it in any tunnel (Monaco obviously) and it will fake a dazzle (Not too bad effect at all).
Too bad that it doesn't work in cockpit view (it can be done tweaking separate alpha for cockpit and external cams but in that case, global alpha is a bit worst).

lol, does it still change size when you shoot it with a sniper rifle? like on GTA3?

"Jeez its hot today. Better use the 'active aircon'".

*bang bang*

"Ahh, much better. Reduced heat from the sun."

*clouds move in*

"DOH!"

it can be done in cockpit view, just edit the f1graphics.cfg to make the vaule 3 for lense flare

hmm, it maybe works now with 1.02 but it wasn't with 1.00 without changing alpha values (or i didn't understand anything at those silly codes like "133"

you need to enable user defined gamma
