The 1.05 patch does not fix the tunnel 'problem'. In real life, the drivers say that when you enter that tunnel from sunshine, it literally is like being in complete darkness for a second or two. That's what it's like in F1RS, you get total darkness for that time only, and then you can see a little bit more, just enough to get you through.

I think it's totally realistic...Glad to hear it hasn't been "fixed." =) Cheers! Marc

Dare I say that it looks to me as if the DARKNESS in the tunnel has been enhanced? I thought it wasn't this dark before patch 1.05. There's a moment the screen is completely black when you enter the tunnel. I thought it wasn't like this before the patch. Not saying it's bad, I LIKE IT!!!! "On 5 August 1944 in the vicinity of St. Sever Calvados, France, witnessed a German Mark V Panther tank knock out three M4 and three M5 tanks during and after being hit by at least fif*** rounds of 75mm APC from a distance of approximately 700 yards. All of these shells had ricochetted, with the exception of a six***th round which finally put the Mark V Panther out of action." Sgt. Thomas P.

I have the same problem. Pure black when driving in the tunnel. It's certainly a BUG because I've tried it on another PC (both with 3Dfx), and it got just dark as it should be, not black! I hope anyone can help out? >The 1.05 patch does not fix the tunnel 'problem'.

As a follow up to this there have been lights installed in the Monaco tunnel to avoid this temporary blindness problem........ The lights were installed for the 1997 season so F1RS is 1996 sim and is still correct to have temporary darkness.........

It is definitely strange yet probably close to realistic: If a wet race is run then the light inside the tunnel is considerably greater, because in real life the eyes would not have as much adjustment to do.....the difference in light levels between inside and outside the tunnel being a lot smaller than if it was a bright sunny day. Well done, Ubi!! -- Bruce. (At home)
