One of the most common complaints when it comes to iRacing graphics is the generally washed out low contrast look, as well as the warm colour temperature.
Today we're going to take a look at an easy way to adjust the contrast, brightness and colour temperature to your heart's content, resulting in what I think is a far more immersive experience on just about any sim racing rig.

I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of the issues some people are having with error messages saying a supported game is required. Make sure you don’t have any 3D accelerated windows open in the background. So Chrome/Discord/etc. Minimising them seems to fix the issue. You don’t need to close them completely.

Hi Will, thanks for the video :-) Any idea if this work on rFactor 2? I'm trying to open the filter using the hotkeys (ALT+F3) but I get the message saying that a supported game is required. Many thanks!

@christoforospaphitis4090 3 года назад

wow makes it way more realistic, especially in Lacuna Seca that is so yellowy it looks ridiculously like an 80's serial Mexico effect.

@imanny99 3 года назад

This is definitely simpler than using reshade and messing with luts. I did it last week and it's made a world of difference for me

@brett22bt 3 года назад

I've always hated that washed out grey look in iRacing. This fixes it completely. Nice job.

@engelcrown Год назад

by turning ''game filters'' I have in the window where you have 1,2 and 3 preset, only ''image sharpening'' on 50% and its not even active

@jamphotostudio 3 года назад

That's awesome!! As a commercial photographer, and having an understanding of color and light, I've always hated the rendering in iRacing. One thing to keep in mind while making these adjustments... Dropping the highlight down is always a good idea for the reason you explained....blowing out all the bright areas. However, with the shadows, remember when you darken things that in the darkest areas, you should still have minor details like maybe dash texture or something like that. The only places I wouldn't expect any detail would be in the vents because obviously there's nothing there to give any texture. One other thing you may want to try is the HDR setting. Maybe turning this on before you make the adjustments might give even a bit more realism. All in all that was a great video and I appreciate the info!!

@christoforospaphitis4090 3 года назад

I will follow this advice, soon I will have my VR headsets coming so I will try turning on the HDR if it adds even more to realism :)... Have to build a rig soon and as soon as the CSL DD comes I will be able to thoroughly enjoy racing

@sethrenigar6012 3 года назад

I'm kinda getting old, and losing pace with technology. I don't even know exactly what HDR is. But people say it improves things. So I want to try it. I know my system should be very capable. But where is this setting? In the graphics card settings, or in iRacing?

@jamphotostudio 3 года назад

@@sethrenigar6012 the setting for HDR that I was talking about is in iRacing/options/graphics, where you adjust your settings for the graphics like sky, grandstands, pit box, etc. It will be in the 3rd column. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Basically what it does is it finds a way to compress everything into a range thy you can see instead of having highlights that are too bright to have detail at that same time as having blacks thy are too dark to have detail. It may have an adverse effect in morning and late afternoon or evening races when you get the Orange glare of the sunrise or sunset on the track in certain turns. Hopefully the other adjustments in the video card will curb thy issue.

@jamphotostudio 2 года назад

@@Simlife101 your correct in the sense that because there’s a wider selection of lights and darks, all the shades and color temperatures are also increased within the parameters. Lumination changes apply to all colors and shades, not just to whites and blacks.

@3eyedfishy 3 года назад

You may have also noticed the colour blindness options in there too. They're fantastic. I don't need it for iRacing but in some other games they make a big difference especially for map icons and opponent labels.

@patrickpieper8441 2 года назад

Thank you very much Will, the hugest benefit of this for me is I suffer from eye strain at times and turning down the warmness and enhancing some other colors has made it much easier to drive for longer periods of time

Never knew about filters being build into the nvidia software I normally play around with reshade filters, but may now see how this works. Thanks Will.

@JoeJacksonGT3 3 года назад

@Case_ 3 года назад

Nvidia filters are literally just Reshade, except integrated into the driver and simplified with less options. The same guy is even working on it.

@MUTILATEDFILTH 3 года назад

Reshade is better

@TheBallisticSerb 3 года назад

Use reshade. Nvidias comes with a bit of a performance hit

@Case_ 3 года назад

So does Reshade. The performance hit depends on shaders in use, but there's always a drop. Roughly the same as with Freestyle.

@1976Cordoba 3 года назад

I did this a few months back and had iRacing looking great finally and then Nvidia did an update and my settings disappeared . . . So you might want to write down the filters and values in case that happens to you too. Cheers :)

Once again you come through for the team Will! I've not been racing much lately but I always disliked the washed out look of iRacing compared to some other sims. I did not like to use the GeForce Experience app for my 3090 card actually as some suggested settings on other games didn't work for me. Reinstalling that app now and will give this a go. Confident I will see an improvement. Thanks mate!

@YayDanMan 3 года назад

combining the nvidia filter with iRacing's built-in gamma adjust and it's quite easy to dial the cooler colours in! The Nvidia overlay did throw an error for me on my first session after installing the latest driver and restarting the PC, but reloading iRacing again with exactly the same session settings meant it seems to be working as suggested

UPDATE: Ok so it appears the latest Nvidia driver (472.96) breaks this for some people. I've now tested myself on another PC and also had a few friends test and it seems a clean install with DDU resolves any issues with the latest driver. Alternatively, previous drivers can be downloaded here - www.nvidia.com/download/find.aspx

@LeonardoG1981 3 года назад

I agree with @Jeffrey McDonald I am also a professional photographer and VR SIM racer and I have been looking for something like this for a while. I recently tried a VR reshade plugin without any visible effects, and I didn't know nVidia had this option. I am ruining an RTX 2080ti on an i7-7800 with a Pimax 5K+ and I have been trying to get a more realistic lighting on my gameplay and videos for a while but didn't know this option was available, I will try this tomorrow. Like Jaffrey said on the other comment, I will try HDR and then adjust highlights and shadows to begin with to mimic the human eye dynamic range. I greatly appreciate that you shared this piece of information with the rest of us.

Today however, I did a great (in my standard, getting round the track in one piece is great) lap, I saved it. When I went back to view, I did the ALT F3 and it worked I had the full menu. So it seems, just doing a test lap does not work, but viewing a saved replay will get the menu to be showed.

Good evening all. I have been trying to figure this out for a few hours and here is what I came up with. Latest driver installed (497.09). I start a "Test Drive" session and it seems to work. From there any other session I join it still works, (AI, Test Drive, Etc.) As long as I do not close iRacing it seems to keep. Once I close iRacing and try to go into let's say an AI race "not supported". I go "Test Drive" works as well as other sessions. Don't know why, and what changed, but seems to work for me. Cheers, and good luck! BTW. Thanks Will for all of the great content over the years.

Thinking about that for the use on 3 led projector screens. Blacker blacks and better contrast. No bezel frame or plastics edges to dick with. The first time i ever used a projected screen was on the playstation (1) at the old Wangi workers club 1996. I couldn't aford a commercial unit, but you could book in through the club for members. In the function room and turn off the lights. it dominated the whole wall : ) that an the PA sound system, full on. ( Vralley & F1) Great thing was, we were close to burbon food and beer.

@Scotts_Arcade 3 года назад

Great video as always. I've been using a similar setup, but utilizing ReShade instead. A bit more of an fps hit with it, but more granular control over the colour, contrast and various other settings. Also never been a fan of Nvidia's GeForce Experience. That being said, it truly does make a huge difference and sometimes games/sims just need a little colour correction TLC.

For those trying this in 2023 using the UI, I’ve found a hack for anyone seeing only a non-adjustable “image sharpening” slider. If you first open an iRacing replay file, you can then open up the overlay filters and they will appear normally. You can then close the replay and so long as you don’t exit out of the iRacing UI, you can continue to use the filter/s in any practice or race mode. Kind of a long process, but worth it in my opinion.
