Is there a setting to determine a car's shinyness?

[Billy Pilgrim]

I've had the impression that, over the last couple of years (since CSP & Sol, sort of) that car shinyness can sometimes change. Maybe that could have something to do with CSP or Sol, or a setting in there. Or an update or... ?

But, as I said, it's just an impression, I'm not sure if I'm actually seeing something that's really there.

Can anyone give advice?

Skybox reflections gain is maybe what your after. It's in the bottom right of AC video settings in content manager. Took mine down a touch after I got shiny tyres with the open wheelers.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it out.

That setting does pretty much exactly what it says, directly multiplies how bright the sky is in reflections. Weird thing to be able to adjust, obviously it's a workaround for something.. I would recommend put it at 100%.

PP Filter probably has the strongest influence after that, gamma and contrast settings change how visible reflections are.

I've made some big changes to Skybox Reflections (like all the way up, and all the way down) and I can't really see any difference it might be making.

Mine was set to 150 initially for some reason so I just took it down to 100 which is default. It's not the cars themselves that annoy me sometimes it's shiny tyres which look totally unreal.

I found something which seems to have an effect:
In Sol Config v1.8, page 12, GRAPHICS, gfx reflections brightness % and saturation %

Cool, will give it a shot. Which reminds me, CSP 1.72 update....
