Flashing cameras

[dwightyone]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know how to turn off the flashing camera from the fans on the trackside on the VLN tracks - I appreciate the fans thinking I'm the next Lewis Hamilton and I do look their direction when passing so they can get a full picture of my face to cherish forever, but sadly in VR it gives me a big and sudden FPS drop.

If you open the track in 3DsimeED, you could change the animation cycle, to all zeros, I suspect that would do it. If not, just delete the Flash objects.

Okay, no on or off option anywhere then - okay, 3DsimEd it is then. Thanks for the info'

Not aware of an on off, I'm assuming you can fix it by changing the animation cycle. But as an after thought, why not set it to being visible at NIGHT only?

Yeah, would be nice but tbh it turns into a stutterfest in VR with the flashing cameras - absolutely fine on monitors though. Think I'll just live with it

Just delete all the flashing camera lines from the .trk file and you're good to go. Not sure what the instances are called in your track but here's an example from the Targa Florio .trk:

Instance=photoflash01
{
VisGroups=(1249)
MeshFile=photoflash01.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False
}

A local man was arrested for flashing cameras ...in parking lots, at ATMs ....

All you need to do to disable these objects is to do this // on all the photoflash object entries:

//Instance=photoflash01
{
VisGroups=(1249)
MeshFile=photoflash01.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False
}

When you open the trk file in NOTEPAD, in the edit drop down, first select FIND: photo (that will take you to the first photoflash entry, then select REPLACE and put in Instance=photoflash and replace with //Instance=photoflash and that will do them all.

It's always a good idea to make a copy of your trk file before you edit, just in case.

Thanks for the input guys - I just deleted anything to do with photoflash in the TRK file Haven't checked to see if it works yet but will do later but am not expecting any problems *fingers crossed*
