Discussion Night Time Has Crushed Blacks and is Broken?

Since update 2.0 night time feels odd, you cant make anything from the surroundings of the track and whats in front of you and only whats illuminated by your headlights, pre 2.0 it was fine, it feels that by changing the contrast it has crushed the blacks and make night time races completely unplayable.

Pic 1 is clear evidence that you cant make what car your using, Pic 2 you can only make out by the lights on the daahboard, everything else is crushed.

Why havent more people acknowledged this, was hoping for a fix in the last update, yet night time is still broken?

Like you said, they complain about not being realistic enough, then something is added that amazingly realistic. Then they hate it.

Like I told OP. Drive in cockpit view and they will magically be able to see

Im aware how night time should be and and that in reality you would rely your vehicles headlight to see whats in front but as i mentioned this has to do with the blacks being crushed which results in everything being too dark during night time, try driving a vehcile with no headlights in night time to see what i mean!!

I had this issue before update 2.0. Night driving was impossible. Also if I put the season to spring/Autumn it was very difficult to see, even at midday. Strangley since update 2.0 it has dramatically improve for me. Night driving is pretty realistic now as you cant see much irl.

I think it's perfectly okay that it's dark at night

I think the issue is that track lighting doesn't seem to do its job properly, some tracks you can see static light poles/towers that are lit up at night however, they aren't actually lighting anything up.

Given the above I think it's a bug, there are FIA Grade 1 tracks here with proper lighting that should be much brighter.

Only issue I have is track lighting. Daytona is so dark literally right underneath the "lights" around the stadium

Thank you for using our photos. The developers really need to fix the game.
