Head Lights Manual Adjustment.
Recommendations is appreciated. Is there a way to do a manual adjustment for the Dim lights on the SCS 389 Pete? Hit F4 list lights no adjustment can figure out. Old tired eyes.
Do not mean dis respect to the modding community. Aware of a couple of light Mods and have tried a couple. Like to adjust the lights with out mods.

"Thank You" For Your Response

What do you mean adjustements ? Switching between low-beam and high-beam or left-right ?

No sir, what I meant and should have made it more clear. Want to adjust the range on the dim lights for the SCS 389. Want the dim lights to extend a bit further down the road with out blinding the AI traffic. Bright lights are fine.

Thank you for asking.

High beams make no impact how dumb ai are but this would be nice to have a 3rd light setting or a brighter low beam that goes further

The only "solution" I have found is to raise the overall brightness; there is a balance point there where the game isn't too bright in the daylight but bright enough with the low beams on. I agree with you though that there should be some built in adjustability.

Have tried a couple of mods one I like by frank something. Dont mean disrespect like the light mod it has not been up dated for sometime. May be fine with out up dates. Old profile prior to V 1.35 getting some log errors. Cant figure it out. Dont want to post yet any log errors. Need more testing on a new profile prior to posting. see if the Mod is error free. How you learn.

Thanks for the info. A full moon would help LOL. Extract the light mod from the folder and take a look at it see if can figure out how the mod works. See if can do a direct edit avoid using the Mod. Mod has not been up dated for some time, like the mod. This is over my head drowning.

Be nice if SCS would implement light adjustments inside of the F4 menu. Like the seats and mirrors. Need to be done at night with pavement. Edit the brightness and light angels on the road. Lens flares. Edit: Like the low right beam on the edge of the pavement about 100 ft further out. Left light is fine on low beams. Would not blind the AI traffic. Bright lights have to much glare on the pavement IMO. Being a picky old fart.

Thanks again for the help and "Have A Great Day"

No asking how to edit the file for light angels and distance on the SCS 389. Switch from low and high beams on the key pad or re map to a controller. Sure you are aware of that, No dis respect intended.

Have A Great Day.

After doing some more research found this post on the SCS forums on how to edit the lights. Going to give this a try...

That was me :)

Up to date mod for ATS (on this one I went less aggressive and simply raised the low beam from -2.5 to -1.5 and narrowed the high beam from 70º to 65º, you can unzip it and change the values), simply put it in the ATS mod folder:
