@Luntroxx There is no problem at all because i did not change anything regarding truck lights any of the mods, meaning your are using the BETA version 1.55

@Lionv8 You were correct, I "forgot" to add updated files to correct and fix that in this latest version.
They are not abnormally bright it is how it should be, similar in real world, the problem is making the dashboard lights more "dim" in that truck

Its not only about dashboard lights. As you can see also the mirrors were affected. Beside that you see less in front of you. The brighenss of the lights are so high that they light up the whole gas station area. This is mix of issues with lights and ingame auto exposure

Is it possible to make the windshield as blurry as possible with this new rain system? I remember before scs reworked it, i could edit the files to make it very difficult to drive under rainy conditions by blurring the windshield and it felt real for me. Now no matter what i do, i can't get it to work. Merely increasing the drop meter to 200000 does not do anything anymore. It makes the windshield as clear as day.

@Lionv8 Yes as i said in this case is everything including mirrors. This is how should be and somehow i did not updated the files for "fixing" that in last update sorry. This is same truck MAN, so next update will be fine:

@hecatonchires Well its notbecause u increased to 200000 :o :o :lol: even if you use just 10000 will have same result, i do not know what the hard cap is but must be somewhere around 10k.
Now the best is play around with the numbers there, as well you might have to edit the truck glass, to be honest is not that easy how people might thing, so make backup of mod before making any changes just incase something goes wrong (it will go wrong) :lol: so u will have backup

Yeah, i used your mod and followed some of the glass.sui numbers you had in there and did some trial and error. Now it looks okay for me that's manageable. Game engine really needs a huge upgrade so we can have some proper weather system similar to Fernbus or The Bus but that's just a pipe dream. SCS will never get better at this rate.
