| I've recently upgrade my computer and installed GTR2 (twice) and P&G on the new drive. I'm also using the old drive as a backup with all the cars installed. One of my new drive GTR2 installs has the original 2004-2005 carset, the GTR2 10th Anniversary carset and the PTA Trans-Am Mod--all have the front windscreen so dark the cars are undriveable. Any ideas what file controls the windscreen tint? | |

| Odd could be an emap issue, stex file mix up hard to say but as its on a lot of cars must be the game install gone a bit cranky. | |

| As the individual who updated drEdOp's original PTA Trans-Am v1.1 mod to v 2.0 (now at v 4.0 - shameless self promotion) I made the Cockpit Window texture for each of the 4 car makes to have an already some what "dirty windshield" and each of those single textures are in the respected cars CPIT.GTR archive. Since I didn't use the various default SCREEN_DIRTxx.DDS files nor a separate Dirt Screen I don't think that it's the problem.
What I can see an issue with is the rain screen texture. I made a Rain Screen for each of the cars and used GTR2's default RAIN_ANIMxx.DDS files.
Try removing all the loose RAIN_ANIMxx.DDS files from the Teams folder so the game will use the ones found in the original STEX.GTR archive.
Good Luck

| I couldn't find a RAIN_AMIN...DDS file in the Teams folder or in any of the CPIT.gtr fies, but there is a COCKPIT_WINDSCREEN.DDS in each CPIT.GTR file that very dark. Is this the one to remove? | |

| No don't remove it. To test if it's a rain animation issue, which I think it is, just comment out the line in a vehicles CAS file for the XXXXXXXX_RAINSCREEN.gmt.
I'll use my PTA mod as an example.
Change this line in the Mustang.cas file:
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> MeshFile=MUSTANG_RAINSCREEN.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(2.0)
to
//<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> MeshFile=MUSTANG_RAINSCREEN.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(2.0)
This will prevent the rain drops on the windshield and help determine if the problem is the rain animation files.
If you have no individual Rain_Animxx.DDS files in your main Teams folder then as mentioned by joeschmoe above the original STEX.GTR file may of been replaced.

| zipdrive i got your mod PTA in f1classic site. Is really wonderful mod even if they are old models but very friendly in frames. My question if is possible resize the models because they are biggest compared with the rest of the cars. They looks giants. Apart of that is an amzing mod  https://f1classic.forumotion.com/t8985-release-updated-pta-trans-am-mod-for-gtr2 fisheracing mentioned this problem in that forum | |

| This thread is about why all the OP's windscreens are too dark and not about my PTA mod so lets keep helping solve the original problem.
I only used my PTA mod as an example because it does not use a dirtscreen mesh like the stock GTR2 cars and other mods. It only has a rainscreen mesh. Also the issue you mentioned with car size was addressed back in v3.0 as well as a lot of other updates. | |
