    click on the "attached files" and save them in .......SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Automobilista\SweetFX\Presets"
    (I don't know where your steamlibrary is)
    Then press play in steam and select configuration tool
    Then select a file in de SweetFX dropdownbox
    Close rhe configuration tool
    wait till automobilista stops "running"
    Click play again and Start the game

    i just increased the attachment size, I recommend uploading them as a zip or 7z file with the folder setup and image file included.

    His instructions were fine. I was just trying to give a way to upload them so they can be installed easier.

    Here is my setting I posted over there at RD as well. It results in a slightly warmer image with a less saturated blue to get rid of the skies' cartoonish look, and a bit of vignette to gain more depth.

    A guy I was talking to on the steam forum posted his settings, thought they gave an photorealistic look... could be another option?

    Not exactly a SweetFX question, but one related to the resolution setting in AMS

    Under launch configuration, my preferred resolution randomly gets changed back to the monitors native resolution. (I am using an Nvidia card that allows me to use 2x 4x etc native to get better quality graphics in game)
    This is a bit annoying as it requires me to either check this each time I play AMS or take a chance and if its changed, have to leave the game, change the resolution and load up again.

    Is it possible to force AMS to always use a specific resolution? thanks :)

    The only reason it should do that is if you constantly change drivers, or the monitors get changed.

    I do that (AMD card) and works fine, it never resets the resolution here. But I need to run it full screen and then tipical isimotor crash on alt tab so I gave up of it.
    Only issue is that I have to delete the config file when I Need to change the resolution, opening the config program and changing it there won't work anymore don't know why

    Thanks for your reply, now days it even happens if I set my preferred resolution in the launch config, click okay, then even going back into the launch config without even launching the game, the resolution is set back to 1920x1080.
    Is there a way to lock in my preferred resolution?

    I dunno, there must be some permissions issue causing things to screw up. Try deleting the config.ini and let the game recreate it. Are you running some apps as admin and others not somehow?

    Thanks Alex, I'll try that!
    Who knows with Windows, I am administrator, but in true windows pain in the A$$ fashion you still need to 'run as administrator' so I guess yes and no :eek:
    I launch the game through the steam 'play' icon on windows 10.

    I have checked the 'run this program as administrator' on the properties of the AMS.exe.
    I guess this should force it to run as administrator as you were suggesting.

    Is this still an option? No new Presets have appeared yet?
