[Sky0_0]

Hey Drivers,

It's my 1st upload here and i hope u will liked it ! It gives to the game a new graphic dimensions more realistic ! The reflection mapping enhanced at a realistic level, character quality enhanced too ...

I let you see by yourself... ( need an high-end pc cause it drops your fps about 15 or 20 % )

Before :

After :

Install :
Go to your C:\Documents\MyGames\Formulaone2013\hardwaresettings then open the file hardware_settings_config.xml. Go to the line <envmapfaces= "yourstats" size="yourstats" forceBilinear="false" /> and copy/paste this :

"<envmap faces="16344" size="4096" forceBilinear="true" />"

Hello after you put your modified file to me I will crash the game as soon as I start .....

Hello,

Did you back up your files before ?

And tell me your configuration please.

You can't share your hardware_settings_config.xml with everyone. The hardware_settings_config.xml file contains specific settings for each PC and graphic card. For example, your resolution, gamma, aspect, fullscreen, etc. do not match mine. Also your motion statement has IP specific to your PC.

You should just list the edits you made to hardware_settings_config.xml to enable Ultra HD reflections.

Yes I didn't think about that. :/ The original post has been edited

Honestly I can't notice differences on my pc, it seems that doesn't work. On size=4096 the game lags a lot but reflections are the same, with 1024 or 2048 there are no visible changes but the game run more smooth.
I'm sure that I do something wrong because the photo of the preview is spectacular.

yes that setting is for only his type of video card
, even with low end cards you can make it look better then the pic.. that setting just eats up memory, for nothing you can actually set it only to 32 vs 4096 and then in the game set to ultra reflections with memory of 32 mb and and it will be same and the game will stay on current fps
