[TheRealCeeBee]

yes Okatuma! one of my favs as well, thanks!

 

[MrB00]

Me too. Yorkshire tea left to brew for a long time in a pint mug. Tiny splash of milk. No sugar, naturally.
I must have five pints a day.

Hell yeah, or 2 red Asda tea bags brewed for 5 minutes cause Yorkshire tea is a bloody rip off at Morrisons. Pint mug for sure, i can't do tiny mugs lol. I am a sugar fan though

Err I've made some new skins and will release soon - trying to keep this on topic before the mods step in and tell us off for talking about tea and coffee (or beer and whiskey )

 

[Atrupelador]

If anyone is wondering why Okutama 2.0 overwrites the original track and isn't released as a standalone... there's your answer.
@Fanapryde threatened to get medieval on my ass if his total mileage had to get reset.

Not sure who to ask - maybe everyone - DaBaeda is updating some tracks (which is much appreciated, thanks man!) and I noticed that he is now (after some debate) sharing his updates with "db_" wouldn't that reset mileage? Is that good? Or desirable?

Has anyone done Havana from Grid2019 yet? I can open the files in 3dsimed but the roads/ground and water are missing, everything else in place and all textures etc are great, but, as its for a racing game I am thinking missing roads are a deal breaker... I must be missing something in the import I guess?

(also if its already done let me know dont wanna waste time on it then)

Spooky... I was wondering if anyone was going to tackle Havana only this evening when uploading Okutama.
Please persevere with it. I'm not aware of anyone else doing it.

 

[TheRealCeeBee]

A little later than planned due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, here is Okutama 2.0, originally converted by ACU and updated by collaborative effort.
This will overwrite the old version.
Thanks to everyone involved, you know who you are.

• Mountain colouring adjusted to blend in better
• All configs are now referenced in the track extension folder, not externally

not sure oif CSP glitch or track, but if i am near any lights all the textures go wierd, easier to show than explain.


you will see as soon as I drive away from the lights it all returns to normal.

Whether coffee or tea is your cup of tea while sim racing... have a slice world series cake to go with it.

The icing may be courtesy of Cozy61 – and could you please make a 'Burkina Faso cake'? It seems to be missing.

they could have got more creative with their race numbers. All those skins are number 2 - or is that what happens when you eat all those cakes in one sitting

Got some weird question, running the Chivas Super GT 2013 mod, and I am not sure if it has anything to do with what I am running, but I noticed that in the early part of the race if I were to take a screenshot the wheels are blurred properly

But as the race went on at some point it stopped doing that, for whatever car that is in focus:

I've never notice this happen before. And I've ran similar length races with other mods(most recently with the VRC LMP cars and the GTPlanet/Rollovers DPis).

I don't think I've changed any other settings recently, CSP 1.7.1 I think is what I've ran. I've tried 1.7.2 but it does some weird stuff to lights and glare that I revert back to 1.7.1. Any ideas? The CSP accumulation blur is set to on and the option of disable AC rim blur is on as well. But then I've always had that set up like that.

 

[Yellowstone]

That track has lights allright.
Config made by @leBluem v1.0 from June 9, 2020 in the track/extension folder.
Which version do you have ?

I also have v1.0 but no lights for Miami Bayside.
Would anyone be able to share the Config? Couldn't locate it among leBluem's posts.

 

[Twisteddrift]

Is there any chance that Eastern Creek gets some lights so we can race there in the dark in AC. If it's already been done please let me know.

 

[Ryan Day]

Thanks, but I have the latest version. I've been told it's an alpha channel problem and I should use paint.net

I can assure you a half-featured free program isn't better than a professional grade software for this stuff. Remembered something else; when you open the .DDS in Photoshop, make sure the option "load alpha as transparency" is not checked off. If you're loading a .DDS with a full black alpha, and it's loading as transparency, you won't see anything.

Yeah, Havana has missing roads in 3dsimed.
From GRiD Autosport I have had Washington D.C sitting in my todo folder for some time, and have converted San Francisco into a freeroam (very different from CH version of S.F from Grid1) but have not released to the public yet.

GRiD tracks are abit hit-and miss as some have a road mesh of some sort, while others dont. I also have the SS stages from Dirt in a todo folder.

I cant say when I will get to WaDc or the SS stages...

 

[Afterlife]

Thanks to @Cozy61's guide, I have finally made my own first attempt at a rainfx config. This is for @neil shaw's Hampton Downs. It's pretty basic, but it gets the job done.

As usual, rename the file to ext_config.ini, and place it in your extension folder (located inside the track directory), or add this to your own file.

It hasn't been done. Again in reference to an earlier post of mine, there was a lidar version of the circuit being worked on that would've had lighting etc but the creator hasn't posted for a long time so I have no clue as to what's happening with it

 

[BrainsBush]

Due to quite a few requests (who knew there were so many countries ) I've scaled it down to an individual skin for each country following the initial upload.
I'm still hoping o finish the custom championship by the end of the weekend but had a thought that it might be a good idea if we could host it on a server for an online version of the 'Round the World Challenge' with each participant choosing a track/circuit of their country.

PS: I can set up the races with 'AC sever manager' but I don't have a clue how to host as I am not an online racer myself (need to improve badly before that happens )

Great job with the flags. But wait, no one requested a Dutch flag yet? So I did it (very kindly) in the RD thread
And an orange (army) version would be the icing on the cake.

WOW !
Thanks !
You blow my mind !

Thanks for the video, I'll look into it. What CSP and Sol version are you on?
As far as I'm aware the lighting config hasn't changed, and no changes were made to those rocks outside the tunnel. The background mountains dds had some visual tweaking but nothing that would cause this.
It's almost looks like the tunnel lights are bouncing off the car and the reflections are bright enough to illuminate the environment, but... that would be weird.
Anyone else seeing something like this?

 

[gracied]

Make sure you grab Neil's Hampton Downs and Teretonga Park too!
I sound like a broken record about these two, but it still provides me with so much happiness that someone has finally done NZ tracks to a high standard.

Edit: Sadly the links to both of those tracks are broken. I'm happy to send you a copy of my files if @neil shaw has no objection.

Could I get a copy of those tracks? Somehow missed them, been looking for decent versions!

@Cozy61 thanks for Irish and Japanese skins! May have made an addtion to the former just to make it a wee bit better

@TheRealCeeBee I can't replicate what you showed at all, everything looks normal to me (CSP 0.1.70, Sol 2.0 alpha 13, Sol Extra PPF).
The car in your video doesn't have some daft super-reflective paint config, does it?
I get slight tunnel light reflections off those rocks when exiting the tunnel at night in the rain, but put that down to the wet rocks.
Edit: I can see the effect you have on the latest Patreon build at night in the rain. Were you using a rain build with rain active and on?

In case you went from testing the old Okutama to testing the new one straight afterwards, does it do it even after restarting CM? If I update tracks and don't restart CM I can get some strange visual effects sometimes too.

Good afternoon, thanks for your work, I don't see any problems like in the video. and so great track, surprisingly I haven't tried it before. csp 1.0.60

Reworked Toban Track (Author Terra21)
Removed 3d Grass, added GrassFX and cams.
Have Fun. View attachment 992862 View attachment 992863 View attachment 992864 View attachment 992865

It'll be nice if you could do Okutama, the grass is awful

 

[Masscot]

Good afternoon, thanks for your work, I don't see any problems like in the video. but I have a problem with balloons late in the evening / at night, the sky is all dark, and suddenly the balloons flash brightly, for a split second, then go out again, and so periodically repeats. and so great track, surprisingly I haven't tried it before. csp 1.0.60

That's quite deliberate, it's to simulate the burners being fired to heat the balloons.
Balloons can always look a little odd at night (especially when the burners fire up) because they aren't supposed to fly in darkness. If you do a lot of night racing you can tempoarily rename any of the bal_mt...kn5 to stop them appearing at Okutama, ditto with the blimp.kn5.

It'll be nice if you could do Okutama, the grass is awful

Thanks! None taken.

I did experiment with some different grass textures but was getting some weird effects so left it largely as-is.
If you mean the length of the grass, it's deliberately short. I think most grass configs are OTT and far too long. It's a race track that has a maintenance department with tractor mowers, not a meadow for feeding cows.

ACU Okutama - Japanese style skin by RMi


I had made this skin for myself quite some time ago. Enjoy

 

[alexlockout]

That's quite deliberate

clear, thanks for the clarification. yes, I usually remove balls from all tracks. here I am such a bad person. thanks again for the work done.
