How to make headlights of a car less bright?

Billy Pilgrim · Mar 16, 2021

Hi
I'm using a car whose headlights are a bit too bright at night.

Is there a setting to turn down headlight brightness?

CSP > LIGHTING FX > Brightness I've tried that and didn't notice much difference.

Anyone got a tip?

SPECIFICALLY for a car? I know that SOL in weather planing lets you tune down or up individual car headlight effects.

Yes, for a particular car.

You mention Sol. That's not Sol Config though, I think. You mean the Sol app where you can choose what type of weather (windy, no clouds, scattered clouds etc.) - am I right?

I think so, yeah, one of the Sol apps. Honestly i forgot which one, but i think it was the weather selection, at the bottom you can adjust the % of car brightness.

Yes, I think it's that. I had a look at it today.
Thanks for the tip.

Solved it!

You can adjust the headlight brightness of all cars simultaneously in an event.

Cars lit multiplier in Lighting FX.

I had to change it down to 2% from 50%. 3% was too high and blew out the licence plate of the car in front at the start of a race

No more massive searchlights in a race!

It looks perfect now. It looks so good its hard to believe.
