If you suffer from the grandstands changing from light to drak grey as you approach them (post patch 2 and a problem at, for example, Canada) then this can be fixed (well, it is for me!) by:-
<option name="ultralow" >
<objects lod="1.0" maxlod="0" />
</option>
<option name="low" >
<objects lod="1.1" maxlod="0" />
</option>
<option name="medium" >
<objects lod="1.2" maxlod="0" />
</option>
<option name="high" >
<objects lod="1.3" maxlod="0" />
</option>
<option name="ultra" >
<objects lod="3.0" maxlod="0" />
</option>
</category>
If only we could correct the "pop up crowd" so easily!
- opening the file hardware_settings_options.xml (in the system folder)
- locating the entry <category name="objects" >
- changing the lod value for whatever pre-set you use to a higer number. In my case I use the Ultra setting and have edited the ultra LOD to 3 (see below) and there are no more delayed changes of model and, therefore, no more colour changes.
