Download

Note: Check the INI file for all available features! These are just general features.

HDReflections : Resolution will be increased based on desktop resolution.
CubemapRes : Controls the resolution of vehicle cubemaps used in the front-end.
OldGPUCompatibility: Vehicle reflections will be rounded to the nearest power of two.
Scale : Controls the resolution multiplier of reflections.
ImproveReflectionLOD : Increases the level of detail used in reflections.
ExtendRenderDistance : Increases the render distance of vehicle reflections.
RealFrontEndReflections : Enables real-time vehicle reflections in the front end.
RealisticChrome : Makes the chrome materiel more reflective.
VehicleReflectionBrightness : Controls the intensity of vehicle reflections.

Q: Is this compatible with other mods?
A: I can't make any promises. It's been tested with Widescreen Fix, Extra Options, Unlimiter, and HUD Resizer. All texture mods and car mods should work.

Q: What are the system requirements?
A: It depends on your resolution, settings, and other graphical enhancements being used. For 1080p, an NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD RX 480 should be more than enough for default settings.

Q: Why is a No-CD fix required?
A: Need for Speed games have protections (DRM) that make it difficult to view and modify their code, so No-CD patches are often recommended when using ASI scripts. In addition, the memory addresses in my scripts are all hardcoded, so it's not something I can easily change. If you're concerned about malware, ask the community on the NFSMods Discord to help you acquire these patches from a safe source.

Q: Why is the latest version of the Widescreen Fix recommended?
A: Most of the features I make are often designed to work with the Widescreen Fix. Carbon's "ReflectionContrast" (HD Reflections) and "LightingFix" (Widescreen Fix) features are a good example of this. The Widescreen Fix also provides a solid foundation that everyone should use, since it corrects visual and technical errors the PC ports have.

Q: Why don't I have water reflections like your screenshot of Need for Speed Most Wanted?
A: Install Xbox 360 Stuff Pack. My screenshots simply demonstrate the improvement in resolution and detail.

Q: What happened to the old mod pages?
A: I've decided to consolidate everything into a single package; this applies to the download page and the source code. It's easier for me to manage and more convenient for people downloading them.

Disregard my last comment, I forgot to turn the RestoreDetails setting to 2 in the config file...

I'm cringing so hard at myself right now.

@Lumanator MW doesn't have speedlines on PC but Carbon does, there's even a mod that removes them from the game.
