@zh465 Go into visualsettings.dat located in mods\update\update.rpf\common\data and look for this

car.indicator.day.emissive.on (random number)
car.indicator.night.emissive.on (random number)

Change the numbers that are written behind them to something higher, I set them to this you should use this too, makes the indicator lights bright but not too bright

car.indicator.day.emissive.on 300.00
car.indicator.night.emissive.on 400.00

Works the same for every other vehicle lights (taillights, reversing lights, etc)

@Akila_Reigns That's not true, vehicles without LODs do show up in the distance, the only thing that disappears on models without LODs are the wheels though, for some reason

@Frazzlee
It's not really the problem that the cars are so high quality, the problem is that the models use one very high quality model for all distances, default game cars all have 5 models, 1 model is displayed when you stand in front of it and the other 4 will be displayed when you get further away, like this https://i.imgur.com/gh353oF.gif not having these 4 additional stages of a model causes the game to lag or sometimes even crash, sadly documentation of this important steps is hard to find, It was hard for me finding any information at all.

@SgtGodZilla568 I guess the problem are GTA V car mods with low quality, sadly over 50% of the car mods from here don't have any or pretty bad optimisation for the game, so the game can't handle it...

This is the sound mod that comes with ripplers-realism mod https://de.gta5-mods.com/weapons/ripplers-realism
