F1 2011 Track reflections

[KillingJoke]

Hi guys,
anyone else find the new tracksurfaces a bit dull at clear weather compared to F1 2010? Wet looks much better now but I miss the sun reflections at sunny races, maybe they were a bit overdone in 2010 but in 2011 they are nearly not visible. Can this be changed by a mod?

I think for a mod to do that you'd have to change the specular map of the track surface texture.

theoretically not too difficult for experienced texture artists, which RD has some excellent talent, however it all depends on how easy CM made those files to get to/edit/replace. I personally have no idea which files you would need to dig in to find spec maps for track textures. Also another thing to consider, editing the track texture may make it so that you can't go online anymore.

I'm sorry I'm not more help here but theoretically (from my limited knowledge) yes it could be changed.

Thank you, lets hope some talented guys will take care of this "issue"

I think you'd get more luck posting in the mod request thread in the f1 2011 mods forum
