However, you can make note of the changes yourself by having a look at the following video.Īpparently, Dirt 3 has quite a bit of modding potential, and I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing more mods for this awesome game. It’s worth keeping in mind that this is still a work in progress, which means that the mod is not yet available for download. Now, it looks like modders are looking to do the same thing by altering the game’s original lighting effects in order to make them more realistic. As you can probably imagine, creating such a mod was no easy feat, especially since its maker had to rewrite a generous number of shaders in order to alter the lighting in a significant way.

These included the Monte Carlo Rally Pack, the Mud and Guts Car Pack and the Mini Gymkhana Special Pack, all of which managed to breathe new life into this action-packed title. The already rather useless headlights won’t help you there either, because the game in is infinite wisdom treats these stages as “bright enough”, so you only have access to the even more pathetic daytime-mode headlights.Dirt 3 Complete Edition came out quite a few years ago, and it brought with it a series of important additions to this renowned racing game. With the min range value as provided in the default config these stages will instead be extremely dark, because of how it limits the maximum exposure the virtual camera can reach. Meaning that some stages have a very low ambient luminance value (like in sunset/dusk mode), with the expectation that the virtual camera will be able to increase exposure enough for stuff to be somewhat visible.

While it’s true that the camera exposure/eye accommodation feature is complete bollocks for VR, the unfortunate reality of the situation is that the stages were designed with this camera-like behavior in mind. Really cool mod! However, when using it I very much recommend changing the nfig and altering the luminanceMinRange setting back to the original value of 600, or maybe even lower if you so desire.
