Essential improvements

Outrun2006Tweaks

A mod with enhancements & fixes for most of the issues in this article.

The UI can now scale to different aspect ratios without stretching.
The game can now be run in borderless windowed mode.
Adds a built-in framelimiter and the frame rate can now be partially unlocked.
Load times are heavily reduced by disabling framelimiter/vsync during load screens.
Fixes C2C scoreboards not updating on Steam and other releases due to faulty anti-piracy checks.
Reduces z-fighting & object pop-in.
Restores XInput rumble code from the Xbox release.
Fixes the lens flare effect and others that were originally broken in this port.
Support for custom music and textures, including HD textures.
Many other bug fixes and features.

OutRun 2 FXT

Deprecated, use Outrun2006Tweaks instead for more up-to-date fixes and enhancements not covered by FXT.

Replacement configuration tool that adds XInput rumble support, custom resolutions, windowed mode, additional camera views and more. Can be downloaded here.
Running FXTConfig.exe as admin for is required for first time use to apply its settings. Launch the game using OR2FXT.exe instead of its stock executable to ensure the modifications stick.
Before attempting to install texture replacement mods with OutRun FXT, make sure <path-to-game>\FXTcfg\texpacks\original\ is empty and the game's files are not flagged as read-only to avoid errors.
FXT includes overlay graphics replacing their original counterparts, however this feature currently only works properly in fullscreen mode and breaks when forcing window mode. Alternately disable Enable Overlay from OutRun 2 FXT's configuration tool ^[1]

Fix broken audio track

The track "Rush a Difficulty" in the PC port is missing the first 2 seconds.

Instructions^[2]
Download the SoundtrackFix package. Extract contents of the archive to `<path-to-game>`. Run `SoundtrackFix.bat`.

Restore missing lens flare & bloom effects

A simple oversight with the PC conversion caused the lens flare and bloom effects from the console versions to go missing.

Fixed with Outrun2006Tweaks automatically.

Instructions^[3]
Go to `<path-to-game>\Media\`. Look for `lens_flare_offset.bin` and copy it. Paste it into `<path-to-game>\Common\`.

Widescreen resolution		Set via `Config.exe`. Use Outrun2006Tweaks for proper UI scaling.
Multi-monitor
Ultra-widescreen
4K Ultra HD
Field of view (FOV)
Windowed	See Windowed.
Borderless fullscreen windowed	Use Outrun2006Tweaks.
Anisotropic filtering (AF)	Use Outrun2006Tweaks.
Anti-aliasing (AA)	Set via `Config.exe`.
Vertical sync (Vsync)	Always on by default. Use Outrun2006Tweaks to disable it.
60 FPS
120+ FPS	Gameplay is locked to 60 FPS. It is, however, possible to unlock the framerate for things like reflections and menus.
High dynamic range display (HDR)	See the glossary page for potential alternatives.

Widescreen resolution

Set custom resolution manually^[4]

Open <path-to-game>\outrun2006.ini.
Change DX/RES/WIDTH and DX/RES/HEIGHT to the desired resolution.

Notes

To run the game in a resolution wider than 3840, the anti-aliasing quality level has to be 6 or lower.

Windowed

Enable windowed^[5]
Open `<path-to-game>\outrun2006.ini`. Add `DX/WINDOWED = 1`. Change this value to `0` for fullscreen.

Partially unlock framerate

Partial framerate unlock with Outrun2006Tweaks^[6]

Install Outrun2006Tweaks
In <path-to-game>\OutRun2006Tweaks.ini, set "FramerateLimit" to desired framerate or "0" to use an external frame limiter.
Ensure "FramerateUnlockExperimental" is set to "true."
"FramerateLimitMode" is set to "0" by default. If this causes issues, try setting it to "1."

This partial framerate unlock allows the game to render out at higher framerates, though it will still largely run at 60 fps internally. This won't provide as much of a benefit as a true framerate unlock since frames will be repeated, but it can help reduce load times and improves some effects like the reflection update rate (which updates at half the game's frame rate and so benefits from framerates higher than 60 fps).
