Cars - Porsche 918 - Lack of "glow" on brake lights in dark conditions or completely off

So I was driving the 918 yesterday after updating the game and it was night or early morning I think. The headlights and bumper lights were on, casting beams on the tarmac, the dash lights were on - but hello - no brake light glow? Those aren’t on and only light up faintly when I hit the brakes.

Brake lights need to be on when headlights and dash lights are on too, naturally. Also, the brakes need to have a pronounced glow or halo around them as these modern supercars have bright LED brake lights IRL.

Thank you - I’m not providing a video, you can investigate it on your end.

No brake light glow is sometimes better than ridiculous (and offending) brake light glow…

You got to choose your poison…

This is a graphical effect I believe you will see only on far away/distant cars. You do see it in movies and sometimes real life too. I think there’s a term for it in photography too, can’t remember.

Anyway, I like it but it’s understandable others might not as its never been in a Forza game before.

It’s not about liking it or not. It’s about it not being properly implemented at all. It’s totally randomly placed on 90% of the cars (& 100% of the cars with LED breaklights) and should be faded out further away for the camera instead of 2 meters away.
There are no excuses for this level of mediocrity.

Still not resolved as of update 11. Brake lights do not turn on with headlights and when you do brake, the main left/right brake lights are very faint.

Also, created a separate thread for a weak and placeholder or inaccurate sound for this car. That was created last year I believe. Still unaddressed.
