F1rs -Monaco Tunnel

Surely the tunnel at Monaco is not as dark as in F1rs. I can only just see the barriers when I get right up to them. F1 drivers say that it is dark at first, then their eyes adjust, Surely the problem is that our eyes don't adjust to a dark screen. It's not a gamma problem either because the rest of the game is very bright. -- Craig http://www.btinternet.com/~the.solicitors Great Song Lyrics, No1 And the feeling that It's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have your gamma settings set in your autoexec.bat? I don't and the tunnel is fine. My gamma in W95 is set to 1.2. Coming out of the tunnel is a great lighting effect. I was amazed that many drivers were blowing the chicane after the tunnel. It wasn't just me :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

The strange thing is the weather was variable, At the start it was misty and I could see in the tunnel later on as the clouds went and left a clear blue sky it was pitch black in there.

I think it is meant to be that way,for example,in very bright sunshine,if you suddenly go into darkness your eyes can`t adjust very quickly and it seems very dark,however when it is misty this doesn`t happen,so the tunnel seems lighter, >The strange thing is the weather was variable, At the start it was misty and

On the F1 broadcast this weekend the commentators specifically how *brightly* the tunnel was lit. They said that it's almost as bright as being in full daylight. -- Doug Gordon (Remove "nospam." from e-mail address) >Surely the tunnel at Monaco is not as dark as in F1rs. >I can only just see the barriers when I get right up to them. >F1 drivers say that it is dark at first, then their eyes adjust, >Surely the problem is that our eyes don't adjust to a dark screen. >It's not a gamma problem either because the rest of the game is very bright. >-- >Craig >http://www.btinternet.com/~the.solicitors >Great Song Lyrics, No1 >And the feeling that It's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This may sound simple and patronising, but have you tried closing the curtains in the room you are playing in. It makes very little difference when the screen is bright, but on dark areas such as the tunnel, things are a hell of a lot clearer. P.S. F1RS does change the light levels soon after you enter the tunnel as if you are becoming accustomed to the darkness... Mike West

Yep, Mike is right, since he's seen me do this when I play F1RS in my room. Also, you have got to remember that when you watch F1 on TV that the cameras make the tunnel look brighter than what it really is. So, I repeat this advice, make the room in which you are playing dark, cos it really does help. Gavin University of Wales, Swansea FORZA FERRARI PS.
