Can anyone help please. @__EASY__ cant seem to get on.

I already answered you, my site works very well, try another DNS than the one of your internet provider, the google DNS for example

It is also nothing to do with us. If you have an issue with another site then ask there, or send the owner a PM/email.

I found the pipeline cars quite educational a few years back although there's probably tutorials these days. I remember deciding to stick to tracks when my first car didn't allow me to see through the windshield. XD

3DSmax has on right click the option to copy or clone items You can rename/move them there and then if you wish.

I would start with a car you don't love so if it turns out bad you won't be too worried.

Either way, you should START! Just remember to listen to good, constructive feedback and ignore the haters.


@DerLucky
Windshields are NOT my thing but it might be a reversed normal. Worth a shot and easy to do with most 3D software.

Thanks for the tip on the pipeline doc and 3DS Max, I was able to "detach" the meshes I wanted and named the objects according to the pipeline, so some progress being made and it makes more sense than what I was doing (reverse engineering...)

I know we have discussed it before and that there is one in RF2 but I cannot find a link!
Is there a Palm Beach International Raceway track out there for AC?

That's the one I was uploading (because the link here on the thread is dead), but you beat me to it.
So yes, there is one 🙂

 

[Pyyer]

Ok, so, I added all Marshall stands, Marshalls and Cranes. I will look at the flags next. Pyyer - I will send to you so you can release update. I put quality into the details, rotations, location, depth placement etc.

I already took a shot at cranes but yours seem better so we will keep them 👍
Colors probably will have to be changed (I think the high ones are black and red)

If you have no time for flags, don't worry I will make them... 😉

So just wait for your files before releasing update 3.0

Please ,ote that I also add some tents behind emirates billboards at turn 8 and new ground texture at turn 10

At this point @Pyyer feel free to use my ext_config and cams for your next update, so we can have a only-final version of this track if you want and maybe if you can, try to fix the semaphore texture (with my config i removed a metal plate placed in front of the lights) but the lights itself have a material name identical with the wall on the top of the pitlane building, so once fixed one texture, also the wall have the same texture as the lights.

Thank you I will update the ext_config with your last changes 🙂 👍
And I will take a look at the material name issue 😉😉

Question, is there an easy way to add grid slots to KS/Mod tracks? With respect to the original modders that are making incredible tracks, i've noticed some are limited to 20,24,26 grid slots. Lately i've been doing faux-WEC races with grids between 30-40 cars. I know of how to add pit boxes for track days (going into the UI file) but other than that I don't know if there is (emphasis on) easy way to add grid slots to some of my favorite tracks?

 

[Pyyer]

Zandvoort 2020 - Pyyer extension "grandstands2021 file" update - I updated the grandstands2021.kn5 file that came with Pyyer's 2.1 update. You can just replace the file in the track extension folder. This update will add Marshall Stands, Marshalls, Cranes and Basic Flags on the Start Finish Temp Stands.

My hope is for Pyyer to release this in his next update. I probably will end my updates here. You can use in the meantime until he release it.

Didn't see it. Thank you very much. Will probably have to make some adjustments but be sure I will credit you for this 😉

Im making tracks for a long time... so please tell me about this magic UI hack of how to add pit/grid spots via UI edit.
(And then you ask for an "easy way" to add pit/grids, when simply editing a UI.json will get YOU the same result..)

Your logic speaks volumes about actual facts (not)



actual easy way:
make new grid/pits add-on .kn5, add via models.ini

Once you have the full update ready, if you want send it to me so i can (if needed) make the latest fix to the ext_config and the you can release a full final update, so people don't have to download 2-3-4-5 diffrent updates and mess up their folders

 

[r3b3ld3]

I already have a beta version almost ready, it is going to include all these new things.

But now is really when I am going to work on this map, all that I have not modified so far is because I am going to do it from scratch or almost, because sadly although the geometry is extracted from google data, the buildings are very poorly positioned, nothing to do with real life, I am going to correct this because I want to enlarge (much more) the map.

speaking of Sonoma... anyone has massive issues with the Ai always crashing in the nascar and indy layouts?
they always end up in the gravel down the hill...

any new ai line?

 

[sonicmarmy]

Hi, may I ask for some advice please. I've tried both sets of ETRC trucks, and like them both for different reasons. They have identical folder and filenames. How would I go about making a duplicate set with a different name, so I can use either. So like an ETRC RMI and ETRC G0D? Is that possible? What would I need to change?

Is there a quick and easy way to edit a camera position on a track? On the Bahrain 2020 (GP) track there seems to be a camera that is sat behind a wall (at Turn 10 I think) which spoils things somewhat!

Credit even for a small part is always deserved
Do you know where these cranes models came from ?

Way yes, easy no.

BTW if you talk about the Bahrain version of Lavalamp i made a set cams for all layouts

Which is the best way to record an AI line? With a fast car or a slow car? I'm aiming to have races with a wide range of cars from the inter-war period (1919-1939), and their performance level varies greatly. So in theory I could record an AI line with something really slow (like Gary Patterson's Ligier JS8) just to show the AI where they need to go? If speed isn't relevant when recording.

Exactly, speed does not matter, the ai line is not a "ghost lap".

In fact, it is recommended to do it as slowly as possible

To give you a basic idea of how to make an ai line, keep this factor in mind:

The older the car the ai line has to go to the center of the track, modern cars that (above all) brake well, tighter to the curve, for example with a modern f1 you can adjust the curves almost to the maximum, but that line wouldn't fit a car from the 60s-80s. To make an ai line in good conditions you need yes or yes a steering wheel, an ai recorded with a gamepad considers any turn as if you turned the steering wheel completely and this greatly affects the ai, one of the particularities that the assetto corsa ai has to draw curves is the turn of the steering wheel that you apply, the more turn of the steering wheel the slower the curve will do.

I've condensed these quotes down to try improve aesthetics but there's a lot wrong with the above:

1) It's 'technically' true that speed doesn't matter during an AI lap recording. However if you drive slowly then while you'll usually end up with a reliable AI line, it'll be slow as hell. This is simply down to the fact that a racing line at full race speed is different to what you imagine it is when you're driving along slowly. Small subtleties such as how far a car drifts out from the apex when exiting a corner at full throttle aren't captured and you'll find that the AI will be several seconds a lap off their potential pace if you use this method. I've tested this extensively and if you want a fast, competitive AI line then you need to record at maximum speed.

2) The type of car you use is in most cases pretty much an irrelevance. The best driving line for a circuit might well change between a modern F1 car and a 1950s F1 car, but the crux is that you're trying to shorten the distance driven and maximise the speed, factors that apply across every type of car. The key is to record your AI line in a car that you're comfortable driving smoothly at the limit. You're unlikely to create a good AI line using a Maserati 250F, as the nature of such a car means you're constantly making small adjustments to your steering and throttle inputs to keep the car behaving as you want. Something like a modern TCR or GT3 car is a far better option as they're easy to drive smoothly and quickly. Just remember that how different cars drive your recorded line is down to the ai.ini file in the car data folder. It's that file that has a modern F1 car braking at the 50m marker while a 1950s F1 car starts to brake at the 200m marker. Also remember that the default Kunos content is very diverse and all runs fine based on one universal AI line per track.

3) Your actual inputs in recording an AI line are completely irrelevant, it is only the line that matters. The reason you should use a steering wheel if possible is that you'll be smoother and faster. I've just done a test using an Xbox controller to set an AI line using maximum steering inputs where possible. It makes no difference, they just follow the recorded line, none of the AI was at full lock or doing anything stupid.

To summarise:

• Choose a car that you're comfortable driving smooth and fast
• Set a fast, smooth and clean lap
• Make sure the AI sidelines are setup correctly (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ai-line-helper.16016/)
• Add AI hints to any problem areas, examples include bumpy braking areas needing an earlier brake hint, sharp crests needing a maximum speed hint to stop fast cars going airborne, chicanes needing hints to slow cars to avoid accidents etc.
• Make sure the cars you use have correctly setup ai.ini files in their data, use Kunos content as a benchmark.

 

[TimLotus]

If the two windshields are done correctly (one with the normals facing one way and the second one with the normals facing the opposite way) there should be no flickering. My best bet is that they both have the same normals orientation

I have heard that with CSP the normals should face the same way. Is that right or not?

 

[El Brillante]

Way yes, easy no.

BTW if you talk about the Bahrain version of Lavalamp i made a set cams for all layouts

It's in a folder called bahrain_2020 (txt file says v1.12), not sure where that came from but probably here at some point. I think the Lavalamp version is bahrain_international_circuit. I can't remember why but picked the 2020 version to use so your cams probably won't work?
