Find your starting look.

In the app → Home

  1. Choose a look

    Start with a Day or Night recipe on Home. Apply loads its factory settings; Load saved brings back your saved version.

  2. Make it yours

    Try Light, Colour or Lens one at a time. Everyday controls come first; Advanced tuning opens more adjustments.

  3. Keep the result

    Choose Save look. Revert look returns to your saved baseline when you want to try again.

A new look. Your camera and weather stay yours.

How do I undo a module?

Click an applied module again to restore its previous settings. Later manual edits are kept. Right-click a slider or use its reset mark to reset just that control.

Frame the drive your way.

In the app → Camera

  1. Switch to SODIUM chase

    Turn on Use SODIUM chase camera, or choose a chase style. SODIUM switches to chase view automatically outside VR.

  2. Pick your angle

    Start with Balanced. Try GAP Cam for an external, rearward-facing view, or Boom for a higher viewpoint. Adjust distance, height and pitch.

  3. Tune the movement

    Use Dynamics to change how the camera follows. Save camera keeps a baseline for this car. Switch SODIUM chase off to release control.

Follow the car, or look back at the road behind.

FOV looks unchanged?

In 0.9.41, matching diagnostic numbers do not prove visible framing changed. If you use Flixxs Dynamic FOV, enable Use SODIUM for FOV in Driving camera, exit the drive when prompted, wait a few seconds and restart. This optional setting manages its startup entry; Restore previous FOV startup reverses it. If framing still does not change, send Copy camera checks to support.

Settle into your seat.

In the app → NeckFX

  1. Use the cockpit camera

    Turn on Use SODIUM cockpit camera and switch to cockpit view.

  2. Start with a feeling

    Choose Natural for your first drive, Calm for less movement, or try Endurance and Rally. Adjust the seat and lens to suit your car.

  3. Dial back or turn off

    Reduce the motion if it feels too strong. Turn the SODIUM cockpit camera off to release its selection and restore the previous choice when possible.

Head movement that suits you, saved per car.

Will changing the style move my seat?

Changing the head-movement style keeps your seat and lens. Camera, cockpit and image settings are separate, so a new look does not rebuild your seating position.

Start with the road.

In the app → Rain & Roads

  1. Choose a scene

    With RainFX enabled, select Steady rain and turn Use SODIUM rain on. Wait a few seconds for the helper to connect.

  2. Shape the surface

    Use Wet roads only to stop falling rain while keeping the road wet. Adjust road sheen, standing water and puddles separately.

  3. Let the weather move

    Choose a journey and press Play journey. Pause holds the current values; manual edits stop playback. Switch SODIUM rain off to return control to session weather.

Choose wet asphalt, falling rain, or both.

Rain is on, but nothing changes?

Choose a scene other than Clear and confirm RainFX is enabled. In Rain & Roads, select Run checks & copy and send the report to Discord support. Include the status message and what you expected to see. Avoid running two local weather overrides together while testing.

Put the subject first.

In the app → Cinematic

  1. Park or open a replay

    Set up your shot, then open Cinematic. Start with Photo or Shallow.

  2. Choose what stays sharp

    Use Follow car focus to keep the car as your subject, or adjust the focus distance yourself. Change aperture to shape the blur.

  3. Return to a clear view

    Choose Off when you finish. Stream Safe intentionally mutes depth of field, so check that setting if you cannot see a difference.

Focus and depth of field for photos and replays.

Still no depth of field?

Confirm post-processing is enabled and SODIUM is selected as the filter. Check the Cinematic status and Stream Safe. VR is not a supported target for this effect. Send the status with a screenshot if it still does not respond.

Keep your good settings.

In the app → Presets

  1. Save the right thing

    Save look keeps your image baseline; Save camera keeps your per-car camera baseline. Rain & Roads has its own personal weather slots.

  2. Make a shareable preset

    Open Presets to save or export the settings you want to share. Check what the preset includes before sending it.

  3. Try, compare, return

    Load a saved preset when you need it. Use Revert look for your saved image baseline. Reload factory returns to factory settings, so save edits you want to keep first.

Experiment without losing your favourite setup.

What should I keep when updating?

Close the drive, back up your SODIUM folders and merge the new package into your game folder. Keep your personal presets, settings and licence data. An update on the same PC does not need a fresh activation.

Stuck? Bring us the details.

You don’t need to diagnose it yourself. Copy the right report and tell us what happened.

Paste the report in Discord support. Add what you clicked, what you expected, and what you saw. A screenshot or short clip helps.
