    I have no sparks, either in the mirror or in the replay. I have a spark.tga in the vehicles folder and found 'Spark Flow="2" // Add to enable: 1=flow over current 2=flow over other vehicles' in the .plr file. I have Special Effects set to Full on the Display screen. Seems to be all cars and tracks. Anyone??

    To get the sparks, just delete or rename the "SPARK.TGA" file to any other name.

    I got it now. Bottomed out the Spring Rates and all Bump/ Rebound, sparks are flyin'. Thought I could do it with just the Ride Height. Thx fellas.

    id actually like to get rid of this effect if i can't improve it -- could be due to modifications (i don't recall noticing them in the beta, which is vanilla) but i have very cartoony sparks emitting from the cars...anyone know what im talking about?

    It´s why the blank sparks.tga is there to begin with, the spark animations are not particularly good so we´d rather not have them on by default. If you run an integrity check via Steam it should restore the original blank texture so they don´t show up.

    Any plans to rework that texture (higher quality) and include it in AMS? Having this in gpl mainly would be fantastic (live broadcasts and replay).

    I really like the sparks I think it really adds to the sim. Love to see them get some reiza love and added as default!!!
