    I got the new update so I decided to fire this game up for a bit. I noticed something strange though when I did. With reflections maxed except for distance which was at about 50% I was seeing the road surface reflecting off of the panels in the bed of the D15. It didn't make sense to me that the road would be reflecting there instead of the sky. Attached images should show what I'm talking about.

    That's the dynamic reflections that was recently added. It basically reflects the surrounding scenery onto the vehicle that you're driving in.

    EDIT:

    Never mind, I re-read the post and could not come to any conclusion, sorry for not being any help. Though it is sort of weird...

    Vehicles cannot reflect themselves, therefore you see the reflection as if the vehicle was not there.

    I have an almost identical screenshot that I was about to upload haha, I was assuming it was due to self reflection.

    Speaking of reflections, the dynamic reflection options absolutely gobble up my frames.
    Every setting maxed apart from DR - Fairly solid 60 FPS.
    Maxed with max DR - Solid 33 FPS.

    I didn't notice any impact on framerate before this update, but I haven't played in a while so it's possible it's always been eating up FPS.

    I'd rather just see the sky like on the tops of the wheel wells in the bed. Seeing the road there like that really bothers me.

    Also to whoever was talking about fps stuff. I to noticed the rate was down at a solid 30 with reflections maxed and not moving. Start moving and it starts to fluctuate a little but only down to about 25 or so. I mean for what this game is 30 fps isn't bad with full reflections because they look awesome. Although at some point I'm going to tweak the settings to try and strike a balance between performance and graphics.
