HDR plugin for Simbin and ISI racing sims

[bramski]

I know theres a few sim racers on here so I thought I'd throw a link to a plugin that's popped up on the scene. It basically allows Bloom lighting ambient occlusion chrome reflectivity and Motion blur to be enabled and tweaked in most if not all of the simbin titles GTL GTR2 RACE07 etc.. and rFactor too, oh yea musn't forget Richard burns rally too.

It's not perfect by any means as it's a version of a GTA:SA mod but it works and definately adds a nice bit of atmosphere to the sims and the guy who originally made it for GTA has been contacted and says he will try and get one done for the sims individually.. check it out over here.

Wow nice find, thanks! I had no idea such a mod was even possible

Hmm, can't find any mention of it supporting RBR, do you have a source for it?

 

[GeoPat]

Must give these a shot. Cheers.

Crowze - RBR has an older HDR plugin if you want to try it (although I haven't yet!) Looks like a bit of tweaking is needed.

A link to Blackhole Motorsport is on the top right panel. That leads to a small file on Rapidshare. Looks good though.

Looks quite cool. I imagine it massively increases the demands on the cpu and graphics card?

Will have to wait until I have finished Uni to test this. Much, much too busy atm.

if you used the tweaked ini on RSC there is no noticable difference in performance plus the tweaked ini looks loads better than the standerd ones.

Interesting. I shall get around to testing this out sometime then.

Like Marc, I'll also be giving this a shot once I have finished all my uni coursework!

A question from the uneducated here, would this work for F1 Challenge? It was ISI I think?

 

[Bean0]

It works for LFS, although I've not tried it.
Will give it a blast after my league race tonight.

Depends on the DX version, I know theres a DX8 version as thats the one I used to get it going in LFS.
