F1RC brightness problem

The game seems really good (I'm getting used to the AI), but it's TOO DARN DARK! Changing the video settings on my GeForce MX2 brightens the desktop just fine, but does nothing for in game brightness / gamma. Occasionally in switching in between screens, it will brighten for a split second as the screen changes, but that's it. It makes playing in the rain almost impossible. The monitor is already maxxed. Any thoughts? Thanks.

One word "powerstrip". That's all you need -- Some Call Me Tim

The monitor is already maxxed. Any thoughts? Thanks. Get NVmax and brighten the desktop (gamma). I have to do that on both F1RC and GP3. Very annoying, but I have not found a workaround. AND, I'm using the beta drivers after trying every driver out there.

On my system, F1RC was intolerably dark with environment mapping enabled. Once I disabled that, lighting was OK. I lost a little of the looks, but they weren't worth much if they were too dark to see, anyway. :-) Jerry Morelock "Alan Bergfeld" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8AT%6.50001$[email hidden]... > The game seems really good (I'm getting used to the AI), but it's TOO DARN > DARK!

Got it working now then Jerry? Was it the exe that Dave or I sent you that worked? Iain "chainbreaker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:oB607.32459$[email hidden]...

You don't need to use NVmax, being able to adjust the desktop gamma/brightness/contrast is a standard feature of nvidia drivers.
