 :When enabled, you will be redirected to the nearest LFS server to downloads vehicle mods from. Otherwise if disabled, downloads will be retrieved only from the main LFS server (may take longer). Allowing regional downloads should make downloads faster, but if you experience any problems/errors when using mods, try disabling this.
 ;Post-processing shader{{colon}} {{option|yes|no}}
-:If enabled, the ps_main shader in {{Folder|data|shaders|PostProcess.psh}} is used to create the final image. The post-processing shader is set to S-SHAPE by default. At first glance, it looks like the setting just increases the contrast, when in fact it's just a placeholder "demo" for a shader, located in {{Folder|data|shaders|PostProcess.psh}} and there are more examples in that file. You are supposed to create your own shader to use with LFS. Only enable if you know what you are doing (by default, this is NOT an option for maxing out graphics settings). While enabling the default placeholder shader might make the LFS have more contrast and you might like it, LFS is not meant to look like that by default.

 :These options produce the same result in a different way. It is best to choose the option that results in the highest framerate when many shadows are visible, for example a full starting grid. As usual for graphics frame rate tests, you should pause LFS to avoid physics and sound CPU usage.
