Imola with too dark grass

[Billy Pilgrim]

My grass at Imola is too dark, like in the screenshots for this mod (which I don't have installed): https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/imola-f1-2004-sponsors.32339/

But I think my grass should look more like in these shots: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/imola-track-adverts-update-1-0.9791/

I'm setting up the race in August so I don't think it's a seasonal adjustment (and I did a test by removing the winter skins from my Imola folder too - removing it made no difference to the grass)

Can anyone advise?

There's a CSP line calling out for a change in brightness for the grass materials... for seasonal adjustments, try messing around with those values:

[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_1]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION=grass ground
MATERIALS=Grass, seatext, top1, top1_MAP, top1_MAP_B, top2
KEY_0=seasonSummer
VALUE_0=0.35
KEY_1=ksAmbient
VALUE_1=0.2
KEY_2=ksDiffuse
VALUE_2=0.35
CONDITION=SEASON_SUMMER

Thanks a lot, John
That's not the first time you've helped out with spot-on advice

It worked!

I wasn't using Imola cos of this problem so thanks for getting Imola back for me.

I fiddled about for a while and eventually got it. This is how the file looks now. I had to deactivate two things (so it's the two lines in bold text):

[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_0]
ACTIVE=0
DESCRIPTION=3dgrass
MATERIALS=bbGrass
KEY_0=seasonSummer
VALUE_0=0.45
KEY_1=ksAmbient
VALUE_1=0.15
KEY_2=ksDiffuse
VALUE_2=0.275
CONDITION=SEASON_SUMMER

[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_1]
ACTIVE=0
DESCRIPTION=grass ground
MATERIALS=Grass, seatext, top1, top1_MAP, top1_MAP_B, top2
KEY_0=seasonSummer
VALUE_0=0.35
KEY_1=ksAmbient
VALUE_1=0.2
KEY_2=ksDiffuse
VALUE_2=0.35
CONDITION=SEASON_SUMMER
