So when you say your settings are on high or very high, This includes PostFX and Shader Quality, Correct?

Also, I recommend you install Radiance V.

yes. both are on high or very high. ok. i will try radiance v. thx

If you replaced the visualsettings.dat your emergency lights should be brighter. I'm not sure at this point. Is there any bloom effect or is it just as if you are on low settings?

just low settings. the headlight wig wag and r bright. just not the overheads of the interior lights on the slicktop

Did you try removing any window tint that might be on the car using a trainer?

no

Just now, LegionGL said:

no

Yeah, try removing the window tint. You can do this by opening the trainer -> Vehicle Mod Menu -> Window Tint -> None

If it's already on none, change it from none to something else and then back. If this works, go into vehicles.meta and change "diffusetint" under that model to 0x00FFFFFF I believe.

no change. it was set on none already

Did you try going into vehicles.meta and looking at the model? I can do this for you if it sounds too complicated. Just link me the vehicles.meta and tell me the slot that the car is in and i'll try to fix it for you if you want.

this is the vehicles meta

this is the actual vehcile

 

You'll need to change the Visual V config... I've done the exact same, I reinstalled because of a crash, but now I can't remember where the config folder for Visual V is  Essentially, I used Jeff Favignanos Visual V config folder (that he's put up on his account) and the lights were perfect... 

But now I can't remember where the damn Visual 5 config file is.

It'd help both me and Legion if someone can post the directory to that damn thing. 

Open IV 

Search all directories for visualsettings.dat

drag the file to your desktop and rename it visualsettings.txt

Ctrl+F and search for car.defaultlight.day.emissive.on 
                                          car.defaultlight.night.emissive.on

 

and use these numbers instead:

car.defaultlight.day.emissive.on 400.00
car.defaultlight.night.emissive.on 280.00

 

Save, Rename to visualsettings.dat and place back into Open IV

 

Finish

OK.  I will try this today.  Thank u

ok, so i did what u said and changed out the visualsetting.dat

 

it was set at like 1.50 or something small.  \\i changed it and nothing changed in game.

 

any other ideas?

Please extract your visualsettings.dat to your desktop.  Then attach it as a document to your next post.
