Ever since a change of video driver F1CD has gone pretty dark for me. Does
anyone know how to increase the brightness? I've tried altering the gamma
value in the plr file, but it makes no difference.
Iain
I know you're not an avid F1CS fanatic but am glad that you are at leasting
trying to tweak it to your taste.
OK, let's see if this one helps you.
Go to Season00 > Tracks . Open the track folder you want to tweak. Let's say
Imola.
Back up the SCN files somewhere. Not necessariy but I keep the habit. ;)
Open with notepad the Imol1.scn file. (There are two more SCN files, one for
night and one for wet conditions, so it depends on what type of condition
you want to drive.)
There are two Intensity lines like Intensity=(0.40, 1.00) under rearview and
mainview sections.
Increase the first number (0.40) to your taste. Like 0.90 or 1.10 ...
Save it, drive a few laps and see if that helped.

In order to avoid a misunderstanding, I have to add that you have to tweak
both of the Intensity lines, not only one.
View=rearview
{
Intensity=(0.30, 1.00) <---------------tweak here
Directional=(0.501, -0.861, -0.088)
BGClear=True
BGColor=(129, 185, 233)
DepthCueIn=(1000.0) DepthCueOut=(2000.0)
VPSize=(128.0, 64.0) VPCenter=(64.0, 32.0)
ViewFOV=(50.0, 62.50)
ViewFPD=(0.01) ViewBPD=(100.00)
}
View=mainview
{
Intensity=(0.30, 1.00) <---------------also here
Directional=(0.501, -0.861, -0.088)
BGClear=True
BGColor=(129, 185, 233)
DepthCueIn=(100.0) DepthCueOut=(1800.00)
VPSize=(1.0, 1.0) VPCenter=(0.5, 0.5)

Thanks Ali.
I'm not a fanatic but I am a fan of F1CS. It was my favourite modern F1 sim
until F1RC was released. I have defended it and F12K before it on many
occasions here!
Anyway, I've tried your suggestion and varied the intensity from 0.4 up to
7.0 and I can see no difference at all! Strange. What effect does it have
with you?

Which SCN file did you tweak ? And can you copy & paste here that
changed part of the file ?

Sorry, to waste your time. You can still get some more brightness, by
adjusting it on your video card driver GUI. But that's too much hassle,
isn't it ?
I crank up the brightness and contrast dials on my Samsung 900 IFT, whenever
the sun penetrates thru the window.

It's quite weird. If the values don't matter, then why the
