the caution lights are just sprites and not actually lights. the sun is just a sprite too, none of the lights are dynamic and the yellow/orange comes from enviroment mapping I don't know what it means what you say.... (have some shots in me) I NASCAR games the sun and flare work on real time with real time shadows. ive had a look at a few nascar games. the ones after 2007 have cheap dynamic lighting. the ones before seem to only use dynamic lighting on cars and not world props(a pretty basic dynamic lighting anyway with quick inaccurate shadows) NFS didnt really have dynamic lights until carbon where the headlights actually are lights which move and effect the environment, nfsmw used textures for the ground shadows and used environment maps instead of light refraction |

What you mean with fake dynamic shadows?
I know 2003, 2004 and 2005 had a sunset to night transition at the night races...but all the console versions had that the shadows of the car change (move) as of the lights you pass (sun at day and for night the light poles).

Real dynamic lighting is basically ray tracing from light sources. GTA sa had moving shadows with time of day But that's not actually real dynamic lighting. There are many different ways to get a cheap looking dynamic shadow effect. |

Always curious as to why it has Cross cop cars in. No idea A few possibilities: - It might be temporary because the devs couldn't think of a paint job for normal heat lvl 5 cop cars yet. - It was originally supposed to be the paint job for heat lvl 5 cop cars since normal cop cars are usually black and white and not completely white. - Multiple sergeants in the game. (Very unlikely though) |

(Very unlikely though) There's a mod that makes all Corvette to Cross, actually just changes the paint job to Cross... Is this official from IGN or some find with Google on some website, because it can be fake. Not true...cops aren't always black and white, it depends on the state/city... Example: NY has White with Blue, LA has Black and White... |

Example: NY has White with Blue, LA has Black and White... I meant the cop cars IN the game. The civic cruiser is black and white, the pontiac GTO is black and white, the SUVs are black and white, but the corvette is entirely white. Not counting Undercover cars because they're supposed to be black. |

Even that...special units (can) have different liveries than regular cars.
In Most Wanted the Corvettes are named to be Cross's Special Unit...
+ I doubt they would have had Cross's livery with the details he has on his car with the busted cars detail etc...
In Undercover the Heat 4 Cars are Laguna Blue/White Nissan GTR's (Super State Patrol) and Hest 5 is Dark Blue/Black Porsche's with a blue/white stripe on the sides.
I guess the picture above is fake, there's there's a 'mod' to pit Cross's livery on the heat 5 corvettes...and the IGN logo was put on it...source we need.

Maybe all Heat 5/6 Corvettes were intended to look like that originally. We never really see any trailers/beta videos with the regular Heat 5 Corvette, so there's nothing to say that we're wrong.

So, I just noticed that I haven't made a list of all hidden/unused preset cars in final version of NFSMW. COPGTOPURSUIT  COP_CROSS  OPM_RX8_Version2 (It PROBABLY was the yellow preset RX8 in PS2 Demo)  GT_ELISE_ROG  STARKY_HUTCH_EVO_ROG  OPM_MUSTANG_VERSION2 (It PROBABLY was the red Mustang with a white stripe in PS2 demo)  Note: The purple cars can basically copy and paste the colors and vinyls from the two last seen cars. It's probably the result of the hashes that were not updated. |

Because the Beta / PS2 Demo Stage had the Crown Vics on all heats...GTO and Corvette must been an addition later to have a variety on higher heats...I don't think Cross's Vinyl was supposed to be on all the Corvettes because of specific details on the car (e.g. the busted cars livery). At the time, Cross was supposed have the only Corvette as we can tell from the PS2 Demo Gameplay and Ending scene, the intro and the story cut scenes. |
