so I have noticed a few things. Overall, great job, but is there any way to lessen the eye adaptation, so that things don't dim too much? in certain situations, everything darkens soo much its hard to see much of anything. Also, I noticed a slight issue with the sun lol.

I don't think it was supposed to be black....eclipse maybe?

[serialblack]

actually I just noticed you can see the black sun as a "reflection" in the hood as well lol

[TMLM]

I also have this issue that at dawn and especially at duak the sky is so bright that everything else gets darker in relation, and gps, mfd and backlights of buttons or dials are barely and sometimes no more visible at all

@serialblack eye adaptation is kinda like "personal taste" some may like it others not so much etc i try to make balance. Never noticed to about the sun until you mentioned anyway keep in mind SCS released "unfinished" lighting so its a bit of mess right now and a lot of changes will happen in next updates SCS updates.

@TMLM As i answered in ETS version, i will have look into that, at dawn and sun set get little to dark inside the cabin etc.

@Kass I totally understand what you're saying, but right now its very excessive, and I don't even run any bloom to make it worse. During the day, the interior is dimmed slightly, but gets much worse in the evening. even the roads are darkened to the point where I feel like I should be turning on my lights, but its only 1600 or so lol. I'm sure there's not a lot that can be done about it at the moment, honestly I haven't really looked into the lighting too much, is there a way to "soften" the whiter and brighter side of things, so that eye adaption wouldn't be so heavy? I'll try to take some pics if that will help

@serialblack like i said before at the moment the lighting system is abit of "mess" sometimes changing 1 value might screw another or something else.
The interior getting dark at evening and dawn should be fixed in the next update
As time goes i will make tweaks in RBW etc

sometimes changing 1 value might screw another or something else.

That's right. I told to SCS so them kill weather graphics mods with depends many game parameters to ONE weather parameter "adaptation"
If you want create "cool" weather look - you kill dashboard panel lighting, if you adjust dashboard lighting - you kill weather look.
I hit the brightness curve in my test weather, but I didn't have the patience to continue on, more that index zero.

Ya I'm glad they aren't messing with sounds anymore, I can finally make engines sound good without having to start fresh every time....I guess its the weather and lighting modders turn to get screwed with lol. I'm sure you'll get it, I know it's gonna take time to find balance, I'm not worried. Right now its a tad too extreme, but still my favorite weather mod, and the only one I use. Look forward to the updates.

@piva Thats correct, you are right at the moment the lighting system is mess, and this only happens when is released unfinished. Thats for sure my patience is kinda wearing thin.

@serialblack Truth is SCS should keep this lighting update and release it only when finished with it and not in parts like now, plus they will make changes in future updates and they will not mention in patch notes as usual, that make it even worse. Who ever in SCS take this crap decisions of releasing updates like this crap in parts and unfinished well he or she should..........
These types of updates such as lighting should never and i mean never to be released like this, incomplete simple as that.
Like i said above my patience is getting thin.
