Hello BeamNG Development Team, First, thank you for the incredible work on the latest graphics overhaul. The game looks stunning. However, as a dedicated and long-time fan, I am facing a major dilemma regarding performance and realism. My laptop specs are: Intel Core i7 12th Gen, 24GB RAM, and an NVIDIA RTX 2050. Before the update, the game ran flawlessly and looked beautiful. Now, with the new rendering engine, I am forced to drop all settings to "Low" or "Off" just to get playable frame rates. Doing this completely destroys the game's realism and visual appeal, turning it into a flat and uninspiring experience. Downgrading to older versions via Steam Betas is not a viable solution either, because I will lose access to all the fantastic new cars, maps, and physics improvements. My Suggestion: Could you please implement a specific setting called "Legacy/Classic Lighting Mode" or "Previous-Gen Rendering Pipeline"? This feature would allow players to completely toggle off the new resource-heavy lighting, tonemapper, and volumetric atmospheric systems, replacing them with the optimized shader/lighting pipeline from V0.38, while still fully enjoying the new vehicles, physics, and content. This would bridge the gap for thousands of loyal players on budget or laptop GPUs who want to experience the latest game content without sacrificing the clean, realistic look we used to have. Thank you for listening to the community
