In order to test if it’s the crowds can you go into content manager, go to settings->custom shaders patch->track adjustments and check the box that says something about turning off the crowds? This might fix that issue for you, but maybe not. This was the first track that I’ve built myself that has crowds in it (fake crowds are so hard to get right and not look weird) and I’m not in love with the ones I used here.

Crowds are hard, I think the ones you used look alright though. Will test without those later.
I've seen a couple of other tracks with 16k background textures, they both affected my fps similarly but I don't know if they were using png or dds files...

Hello guys, there is a problem, why the track lights behind cars turns off when replay？what happened？

 

[gutbomb]

Looks great gutbomb... but something is seriously eating my FPS, which dips and dives all over place (64fps sitting in the pits, then 100fps for a bit, then suddenly down to 54, then continually up and down like a mad woman's breakfast throughout the lap, etc). Anyone else?

(P.S. On most tracks I get anywhere from 90 to north of 140fps with my setup and settings.)

It´s probably the 16k background texture (ignore the 30fps, that´s the cap in the settings I was using.)

Thanks for giving this track some TLC. It looks massively better than the one I had installed (which was way too wide and very heavy on my system). This track is much closer to RL, but sadly I'm in the same boat, performance wise. I get an AVG of 89.9 FPS alone on track, so racing in a pack will probably not go well (didn't try yet though).

Thanks guys, I've released an update over at racedepartment that replaces the 16k texture with an 8k one, and replaces the one PNG texture with a DDS. Please let me know if this clears up the performance issues! For me, I fluctuate between 125 and 144fps at 4k with a full 16 car grid now, but it was pretty much the same with the old version as well.

Guys probably a noob question but what does it change from the original Content Manager (full) and the one released on Patreon?

@Breathe and anyone else that wants it...

This is Rainmaker87's Detroit Belle Isle 2017 with EASY's updates. It has Lilski's track mesh from the NAGP version. All stuck together with superglue and bits of sticky tape by me.

New version gives me 92.8 fps AVG (still alone on track). So a gain of almost 3 fps. Better that nothing, but I assumed the impact would have been higher with these changes.

Is it normal for mediafire not to allow folder downloads for non-premium users? because I am told I need premium to download folders or multiple files at once (wtf?!)

Yeah, strange, I get the same thing. Can't even DL single files for that track...

 

[_arg0naut_]

no I did not forget to encrypt this track, I just ask that you contact me and give me the patch to include in my update, and here you are publishing the modified kn5 without providing it to me. if you do not want me to encrypt my tracks give me the patch and I publish with the name of the person in credits.

I totally back you up on this, although I'm wholeheartdly against encryption, due to the stiffening of modding evolution and the net loss resulting to the mod community at large.

Link updated in original post for Detroit Belle Isle 2017. Sorry folks, busy day at work!

not that I looked, but setting LODS for TSO/trees/3dcrowds would probably gain more fps

Or, to look at it another way, you are getting other people to fix your tracks (for free) and hoping still to get a paypal donation.

These fixes are night and day in the improvements.

Or you can look at it in another light, and realise how the approach you defend leads to confusion, duplicated work, wasted bandwidth, wasted time.
To summ up, a lower quality, inneficient process, as the follow up messages on this make clear.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Working a bit more on the Mini's interior and now have a working sat nav:

Two questions I have that I haven't been able to figure out for the life of me:

1. How do I make the steering wheel pivot at the angle it's at? Right now it pivots on a straight line so it twists and looks weird.
2. How on earth do I make labels and badges properly transparent? I've tried everything, adding a proper alpha channel with the details, different transparency/alpha blend/test modes, etc. but they're *always* opaque and expose the squares they sit on.

Hi BC, I know we are past this weekends GP, but any final updates on the track? he only real material changes needed are the Pirelli signs on second to last corner leading to the straight.

Thank you

Oh dang. That sucks. I'll keep poking at it to see what I can do.

not that I looked, but setting LODS for TSO/trees/3dcrowds would probably gain more fps

They are all set to either LOD OUT at 1000 or 2000. Not sure if that's not aggressive enough.

I have some pretty dense forests and out of laziness I just set all of the trees to cast shadows instead of just the ones close to the edge of the forest. Could this be a source of bad frame-rate?

Thank you so much for this!!! Horsma really is one of my all time favs for AC. That being said Sir, Im getting shadow flickering on the trees leading to the uphill hairpin on the full layout. I double checked and the original version does not flicker. Can you tell me if i can fix this on my end? TY again.

 

[macko68]

yes for the STCC 2008-2009 custom championship GOOD JOB !!!
2 tracks are still missing but I have not yet found

Found Sturup. This was done for drift, so needs several elements but maybe it could be a good start.

EDIT: Karlskoga is in RRE maybe someone will be able to convert this track

To be honest i didn't noticed, maybe is only a thing happen on your side, but i will check this weekend when i will a pc. In the meanwhile, if anyone have idea on what can be the cause, go on with help

Not sure if it has to do with 'Google algorithms' but I got a brown pelican as closest hit.

The ugly neon-green trees are really distracting, is there also a fix available?

Ugly neon-green trees? Can you show me a pic? I don't have noticed them too, maybe it depends on the PP used?

Not to start the crazy Detroit fiasco that happened here on GTP over a year ago, but can I assume that this is yet a further updated version from the ones that were worked out in the first Detroit session? I'm going to install it tonight and will probably have to rename one or the other seeing as it shares the folder name.
