Tinted Windshield in Some Cars?
- Thread starter gc24
- Start date
Yes there is a fix for it i got the back windscreen issue with the blancpain 2012 mod with the bmw z4 only.
It have to do with shader.. there is a shader/sweetfx mod i believe its in the 10th year patch

Sometimes when its installed it causes black windscreen but also when its not installed it depents on the mod.

GTR2 - GTR2 10th Anniversary Patch
I have updated the garage menu today but I don't want to re-upload twice 500mb for a tiny 1kb file so I upload it here :) As you can see on screenshots, there are 2 versions, either for GTR2 or PnG3. This small update adds DISC THICKNESS setting on both FRONT/REAR in garage setup. EDIT...

That's not too complicated but not easy :
- with Geditor open either xxx_tex.gtr or xxx_cpit.gtr then search for xxxwindows.dds and extract it
- open gimp/photoshop and drop dds : use transparency slider between 50-75% then save new dds
- copy your new windows dds in your car mod (you don't need to use Geditor but you can though)

Do you have multiple mods installed in a single GTR2 copy? I had this problem when combining multiple mods. To avoid problems/conflicts like that, to speed up GTR2 start and to have per-series .plr/CrewChief.ini settings I always use separate GTR2 for each mod.
Again, this depends on a mod. If you are talking about SRPL/SSTR shaders, it is mod specific and if you mix mods it gets messy. I once had the same problem mixing GT3/GT4 field, never figured out why window goes very dark if mods are put together. Separately, both work fine. What's even more strange window would go untinted after green light goes out.

In fact, I'm even not sure that internal window glass was present in GTR2 original cars ( I rather guess they came with Race07 ).
That's something which is mostly difficult to create with a perfect result .. much more difficult than the external ones.
I already searched for the original GTR2 cockpit windows ... and never found them separately ( they should appear separately in the .cas file and that's not the case ) or in chassis or cockpit or cockpit_chassis gmt.
Sometimes you seem to find one but looking at it in 3dSimed you quickly notice that the windows are not present.
That's why the original GTR2 windows seem perfect ( except brilliances ) and perfectly transparent .... of course as they are invisible because .... not present.
There are some mods with a very good result ... but rarely perfect for right transparency, brilliances and reflects.
( often rather too milky or too dark or too transparent )
I have not enough knowledge in 3D, just basics, but I guess the base for good cockpit windows is to be found in the "Multipliers" correctly and perfectly used.
I also tried different tricks to get decent ones ( specular, cubemaps, glass color and transparency dds, etc ... ) .... but I never was perfectly happy with them ... they always miss something or have something ... too much.
