Hey, just wanted to thank you for all the converts you've been doing recently. Some of them have been fun for me to use.

I know lots of people are likely begging you for this car or that car, and you have a lot of projects going. I was just wondering if you were planning on converting the Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 into Assetto Corsa from GT Sport?

It's a highly-needed car in the game, we've had so many other GT3 cars but never an ok version of this car, and it's important in the history of GT3 racing. It holds (or at one point held) the most number of titles won worldwide for a car model in the category. So then why if it is so widespread and important, has a mod of it never been made for AC? Kinda blows my mind.

I know a lot of these Vision cars are fascinating and I personally like a lot of them too, but this I'd argue should be the highest priority to convert from Gran Turismo. It's the only game I can think of with a decent model, and it's such a huge blind spot in AC's car roster. Provided people can make the skins, it would also fix a lot of championships and seasons in the game that people have made.

I think it's basically the only modern/mainstream GT3 car we don't have in some form at this point as well.

TMWmods makes a good 458 GT3.

Could someone tell me how to create a steer animation and shift animation in blender? I tried to use both the model provided by kunos and one I found online but in the end it doesn't work. I can't even create the driver position (for example the legs move randomly and I can't align the foot to the pedal). Frankly, I don't understand, also because I made the animation of the gear lever and it works without problems.

I was about to say something similar to this, but that model is incorrect in many ways. For starters the interior looks wrong from its GT7 and IRL counters, the only things that are right about this is the "458" doors and the steering wheel. The car doesn't have the racing hood latches, antenna, roof cam and even the racing fixed windows. My theory is that he took Jay Yang's "458 GT3 Street Legal" model and modified it to look like the race car and give it some new wheels and rip the interior from the other 458 GT3 from 2011. I'm still wondering where he got that steering wheel from, because it's actually accurate, maybe it came with it?

Now I get why @MisterWaffles said "It's a highly-needed car in the game, we've had so many other GT3 cars but never an 'OK VERSION' of this car, and it's important in the history of GT3 racing." Or I'm just thinking way too hard about this... Either way I still race this car regardless of it's flaws and I do agree we should get a proper 458 GT3 in AC or maybe @MisterWaffle you can ask other modders to modify the existing 458 gt3 even further.

Since we are on this topic, I've noticed this trend with TMW's models. When he released his carrera GT-R mod, I've noticed that he didn't put some racecar bits like the original carrera GT-R had, like the hood latches and the antenna. I didn't say anything before, because I didn't want to be "that guy", but it was a bit of a pet peeve of mine. One day when I get a chance I'll make that happen.

I have that one but that things a whole mess. It’s got no skins, the mapping is all messed up for the shadows on the front and rear bumpers so you get this weird texture across it in many lighting conditions, the physics are alright but could still use some work. Also the revline is at 8,000 RPM and not 9,000+ like it should be.

But the bodywork is incorrect, since it’s a GT3 kit, put onto the road version, with the GT2 interior swapped in.

I appreciate the work @lorelord did on it, and still drive it on occasion, but this mod never got any traction or support from the community unfortunately. So all of those issues are unresolved to this day. It was a good attempt at making something from a grab bag of random assets to make a rough approximation, but it’s certainly no substitute for an actual 458 GT3.

Honestly like @jaqory says, if we could get some people even on this forum to give this rough 458 GT3 mod some attention: update the model a bit, have some physics tweaks, get a few real skins going, fix the lighting and material issues, etc, then I think we could have a neat little mod going that would fill the hole better than it is already. But the best case scenario in my mind still is @JK1977 or a modder like him with the technical ability to convert GT Sport models to import the 458 from that game and go from there.

@jaqory the steering wheel is from the 599XX, and interestingly, the digital display from the 599XX is also far more accurate to the GT3 car than the one we have currently due to the GT2 interior.

What’s ironic is the 458 GT3 from Sport was used to make the body kit that was slapped on the Kunos 458. So people have been touching the model, it’s just nobody has ever cared to import the whole thing properly lol. Instead it was cut up and used for a barely road legal street racer.

I really like the track nemuno_ziedas. The problem is that the trees are way to bright and break the immersion for me. I've tried to fix it by retexturing what I could but I was not successful with all trees. I'd love to place 3d Trees in but have no idea how. If anyone else would like to share some 3d tree love for nemuno_ziedas I'd be very grateful.

Why 3d trees ?
Imo it's the worst possible change you can make to a track, unless your aim is to totally ruin it...
That said...trees way too bright ?:odd:

Someone asked me how can he play the championship versions of F1.

I actually forgot that it's not featured in the non-paid version.

How can you even play AC without championships mode? :D

You can have full Content Manager for 1 Euro. Amazing that there are people who are not willing to pay that. I paid 30 euros happily for the CM people for bringing me the best gaming moments I've ever experienced.

Yup, that's what I meant. I like your mods optic wise a lot, but the ffb is pretty strong. Physics are good, but they feel way too heavy on a dd base. I guess the reason could be that you are driving a lighter wheel base and the mods are kind of optimised on it.
Click to expand...
Maybe. With the first versions i got some reviews about the FFB, that it was way to low. So I looked up how strong the FFB is set in other mods such as RSS, URD, etc. and adjusted that to my mods. I can reduce it a bit, but I generally find it quite difficult to adjust it so that everyone is happy. There are to much different factors that play a role in the FFB for everyone.

Isn't the car on the left the R33?

Yep sorry my bad. Any plan on doing the R33 too anyway? Apparently Chivas has quitted with the AC mods since he was doing GT500/JGTC cars...
 
New ChiQuiFreaky Abu Dhabi update, this one available for public download.



As always with his tracks, the first thing I'll be looking at is performance. A lot of his tracks have convincing meshes and excellent visuals, but run very poorly. His Melbourne comes to mind - it would be the best version by far if the performance wasn't a train wreck.

I'll be giving this a look later this week.
 
Good Evening

I hope somebody can help, just turned on my game to take a car for a spin and I've noticed I've got a mirror in the centre of the screen. I don't recall changing anything, it wasn't there before today. I tried to take a screen shot but typically it doesn't show in the picture but I've marked where it is. Any idea what IScreenshot_asr_1984_toleman_tg184_rt_zolder_27-10-123-19-57-18.jpg need to do to get rid of it please.

You may have turned on the virtual mirror. Try hitting the F11 key and see if it goes away.

As I said, 6k+ cars with ALL the same preview, not a possibility to Steam check the file just for ONE small annoyance (track still drive great, but still have some visual problem with it)

Don't get your hopes too high.
Performance is far below average, track lights are a big blur, awful looking palm trees, even worse at night.
No, this needs a lot of work to be decent.

not surprised. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not sure a single one of his tracks has made it to 1.0, which obviously wouldn't even be a sign of quality.

Which I'd be neutral on, of course, except for the fact that he has an active Patreon... at almost $600 USD per month...

In the track folder, go to the extension folder and open ext_config.ini and copy/paste this to the bottom of the file:

[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_...]
ACTIVE = 1
DESCRIPTION = Trees
MATERIALS = shader:ksTree
KEY_0 = ksAmbient
VALUE_0 = 0.25
KEY_1 = ksDiffuse
VALUE_1 = 0.15
KEY_2 = ksSpecular
VALUE_2 = 0.025
KEY_3 = ksSpecularEXP
VALUE_3 = 225
KEY_4 = ksAlphaRef
VALUE_4 = 0.5
Click to expand...
You may have to play with the numbers to get them to look exactly how you want them, but this should help them get pointed in the right direction. Ambient is the "shaded" or unlit brightness of the tree, and the Diffuse value is how bright the tree is when illuminated.
