With mods like Realistic Radiance, RadianceV, and the others that make your emergency lights brighter, what values are they actually changing? I've found that tweaking these two values to your liking can achieve identical, or at least similar results.

 

car.defaultlight.day.emissive.on
car.defaultlight.night.emissive.on

 

I've been playing with those values to get what I consider to be some bright emergency lights during the day and night and have come up with some values that I think work pretty well. So are these mods only changing those values? I wouldn't mind having some brighter reflections off the walls and surrounding area, but I'm not sure which value that is, and I'm not sure if the above mentioned mods modify that, or just the two values I mentioned.

For the most part, RadianceV and other emergency light visual setting mods are more for people who either are a) Lazy and don't want to actually edit the file themselves. or b) Those who genuinely are nervous about doing something wrong and want to be on the safe side.  Whether or not there are any other values changes with RadianceV aside from the car.defaultlight emissives I have no idea.

 

The reflections off walls, if you have ELS, is something you edit in the ELS VCF.  If you don't have ELS, I'm not entirely sure if it's visualsettings or carcols that messes with reflections.

You mean people actually play this without ELS!? ;)

 

Thanks again for the info boss.

You would play without ELS? Why? I see 0 downsides to ELS.

Well if it doesn't work for me on GTA V either, then I'll be happy playing with Non-ELS. But if it works...I don't know, really.

 

But then again, I broke my GTA V install, so who knows.
