Vehicle Sparks post 1.5.0 [PC]

Recommended Posts

Hi, I just installed the patch and played the game and I noticed that the under tray sparks aren't seen anymore from the cars. Has anybody got the same issue or came across this?
Thanks.

Ok, I did some 5 lap races in quick race mode, like @hardbaked  mentioned earlier the sparks are present but reduced quite significantly. IMHO the ones on the version 1.3.1 looked fantastic while chasing another car or cars.

Yep agreed with this, they are present but have been reduced, shame I much prefer what we had before patch..

Request: Sparks slider in settings. (calls to mind the opening scene of the welder chick in Flashdance - silly movies)

the fact so many have less or more sparks showing in game, tells me something is not right . game ( PC) doesn't have enough spark occurrences compared to real life .

I'm pretty sure something may have been tweaked in the sound as well I used to hear the floor scratching at high speed really well (especially at Baku)  since 1.5 it is REEEEEEALLY quiet no matter what I do to the settings.  I loved this

I raced yesterday at Monaco and sparks were visible when racing but didn't show on replay, so I retract my earlier statement about them showing on replays though I was sure that they were there on replays at my previous race. PS4

I'm not hearing this at all, either. No sparks and no bottom-out sounds at all for me. Got no way of telling if my ride height's too low now.

I confirm that you can have more sparks lowering the ride height.
I've lowered my ride height to test this, only getting puffs of smoke, no sparks at all.

I totally agree, there are almost NO sparks anymore - not like in real life at all :(((
That is especially sad since they actually looked good.

They seem to appear & disappear each time a patch is introduced. I'm on PS4 & since 1.60 I haven't seen any! I like them too, just makes things a bit more immersive. (though they didn't show in replays which is a shame.)
