    Is there a way to access this for VR? Especially the bloom so that brake lights (and the sun) actually light up brightly? Is there a config file hidden somewhere we can access this? Obviously in VR it simply turns off if you select it in the video options

    Just adding to this. Surprised there aren't more threads about it, and can't find any other mention.

    I've been trying to setup R3E with my Vive Pro, and noticed that I cannot set the Bloom or Lightshafts settings to 'On' when I'm playing in VR. Is there any reason for this? They're not unrealistic effects to be adding in a VR situation, and don't have much of an FPS hit.

    I'm going to assume it's due to the elderly engine, and those things don't play nicely with the dual rendering needed.

    I not too fussed overall, but brake lights (or lack there of) are certainly a pain in RRE.

    Most people have a hard enough time trying to get Raceroom working at 90fps. Even with very strong machines. I’m on a 2080ti and it’s a chore, shadows on lowest, reflections low, and a slew of hoops to jump through. I can’t imagine trying to add any post processing effects.
