    Hi all,
    Does anyone know of a way to lessen the bloom / glow from brake lights - I have all PP and Bloom etc switched off but I find them particularly bright and noticeable still, especially in VR?
    Thanks!

    Do you have a picture?

    Not the best picture I'm afraid but just grabbed what I had available - up close brake lights look fine but distant ones the bloom seems overblown (although all PP, bloom, rays etc are switched off) - I'm sure it's as designed but just wondered if there was a way to tone it down a bit perhaps through a settings / ini file as the effect is even more noticeable in VR and detracts from the realism a bit...

    I find it depends a lot on the car as to how noticeable it is. The Corvette GTE seems to have a more pronounced effect, for example:

    It's a lot more subtle on the older cars, to the extent that I never really noticed it until someone else mentioned it. I guess it's could be due to the older cars having less intense lights simulated?

    I have the same question over on a VR discord. The glow effect for brake lights and even the lights over the start/finish line are over the top. I wish I could scale them back. Kills the immersion.

    To be more precise, in VR I got the impression in daytime (and early evening) back- and front-lights bloom is way to strong. In full night the bloom of car-lights should be a bit less as it is right now.
