Hi !

I bought it early in the morning, It’s a banger.
Shape, sounds, physics (even if I will never drive this car IRL), I appreciated it a lot during the 6 laps I drove it on Riverside long.
I will more test it on modern tracks further with enthusiasm.

Cheers.

Yes it is a great site for reference but you are right that it does not track the chassis number change I mentioned.
Making the two versions to cover from 2001 would complete your project and the base gtr2 skins can be converted with some of the good work you have done.

All three position lights the same colour, yellow or gold for GT/GT2.
GTS/GT1 is light green
LMP2 is light blue
LMP1 is red

Thanks

Both of these individuals have provided us with elite quality tracks that will last as long as AC is viable. They deserve our respect and the community should NOT offfer judgement for something for which we have no direct involvement!.

Thanks for input, however, I think I will judge what they did anyways. And, yeah, they did provide excellent stuff, but now it's not available if I understand, so yeah...

 

[RacingManiac]

I mean anyone is welcome to fill the gap, they don't owe anyone to provide a starting point from...

And lets be real, people are still gonna use those tracks to start their work from...

Yeah, I wish I could say I'm surprised, but...I'm not.
The sheer level of fragility of the egos of some modders is simply staggering.

The idea that they should somehow have a say in how other people enjoy their creations is just ridiculous.
If you care so obsessively about what you've created, maybe don't release it in the first place?
If you do decide to release your creations, why not be happy that your tracks are being used and enjoyed?
It's not as if their use in LFM is causing harm to anyone, is it?

Seriously, if the response to the creators demands was indeed to "shove it", I for one, fully support it.
The level of pettiness on the part of these track-makers makes it nigh-on impossible for me to conjure up any feelings of respect for them.
All the undeniable skill and effort that went into their work (and make no mistake, these are some of the absolute best mods available for AC), simply pales in the face of their self-important arrogance.
Pathetic.
But most of all, just depressing.

I had an extensive list of filters/searches for both cars & tracks (authors, manufacturers). The list for the cars disappeared. (tracks ok, shown partially below) Does anyone know where that search data list is stored? I'm hoping I can restore that from my backup...

Exactly my thoughts. You release a track so that everyone enjoy it, some people enjoy it more and decide to do a tournament on that track. Why are you shocked?

These people needs to understand that they don't have every rights on their creation so that they can control how people use it. It's like Kunos complaining that LFM creates an organization around their game. If kunos did complain, nobody would side with them. So why would we side with jonhr777? Who are they to feel entitled to throw a tantrum because an "esport" organization uses their track for a race, when same people would be absolutely baffled if kunos did try to prevent this. All majors simracing games like Gran turismo, Forza, F1 23, there is absolutely 0 problem for a structure like LFM to exist. Uses the cars provided by the game, and the tracks provided by the game. Because there's nothing in the terms of uses that restrict it. And would be the death of simracing if it actually existed. So if you create a free content that is merged with the database of the game content, then ¯\(ツ)/¯.

You can protect your work for theft, but not how it is used by people. Unless it is a commercial product, where upon buying the goods, you can do a "contract" with the buyer and have a list of terms and conditions (Which is what RSS does and sells a licence to use their mods in competitive esports tournaments). This sucks, but on par with the way simracing goes with a clear breach between community and business.

Unfortunately for them, they aren't a company, and aren't part of the business side of simracing, so they can't do restrictive terms of uses.

So, how can i change the 3D Model of a Tyre + Rim?
Is it only possible with programs like Blender and 3dsmax? Or is there a way to change the whole mesh/tyre with a csp command?

 

[maximeerkat]

Bro had hacked my computer
when did I make this one? I remember that someone had asked me for help with this mod, I don't remember what it was,
I fix it and that's it
I have some plans to make it more "Assetto Corsa regulations" like lods, textures, etc.. Also the Nissan 350z LM and GTO LM
Anyway, I will start to work on those, and If someone what to help, is welcome as always,

c:\Users\your account name\AppData\Local\AcTools Content Manager\Values.data should be the file you should restore.
Save your old file first so that you don't lose anymore.
Imho, this file is for both search lists, that of the tracks and that of the cars.
Good luck and success...

Short Answer : no

Long Answer : You can technically export wheels and rims as kn5, and use the ext_config.ini to ask csp to replace those objects by the one you provided.

This isn't straighforward for 2 reasons :

1 The position of the object imported in the new cars is not perfectly aligned, unless you already imported the car in blender, and made spacial changes to the wheel you want to replace the original so that it fits. So you'll lose a lot of time tweaking the config to make sure the tyres or rim are correctly aligned.

2 Blender is still involved anyway, so may as well go the easy route

That's the ticket. Thanks!

Hi !

You meant "strong" ?
Not at all, the FFB stills in the actual standard, nothing’s wrong here.

I can understand this up to a point. I can respect the fact that they spend days upon days, months upon months, years upon years building and creating their tracks and have a specific vision for their tracks. What I can't understand that they don't understand (especially for older tracks made before CSP was even a thing or tracks made for the base game) is that most of the time that vision is completely lost because of changes in the game engine that CSP\Sol\Pure make.

A quick example is Fat-Alfie's Battenbergring. And please don't take any of this as a knock against Fat-Alfie because I know he's not involved in any of this. I just happened to have comparison shots of this track handy so it was easy to use it as an example instead of having to make screenshots of one of the track's in question, like Goodwood. The same thing applies to that track as well.

Under the base game, the track looks incredible:
View attachment 1318793

But with CSP\Sol\Pure, the track looks hideous. The colors are all wrong, the shadowing is terrible. It looks nothing like he intended:
View attachment 1318794

But with a few tweaks, at least it can get closer to his intended look even if it's not an exact match:
View attachment 1318797

And this is where I don't get their frustration. What is wrong with the end user wanting the track to look the best it can look. And what is wrong with wanting to drive the track in the rain or at night or with any of the other available CSP features. And why do they look at someone creating a track skin or adding a CSP feature as some kind of insult to their work. If it was me, i'd take it as sort of a compliment. If someone is willing to spend months (which I have done) on a mod of a track, that must mean they really like the track.

I guess having never actually created something from scratch my perspective is skewed, but i'd like to think I would have the same opinion even if I had. I just know that with all the different variables in this game (ppfilters, personal tastes, Sol vs. Pure vs. stock weather, CSP vs. base game, etc.), they have to understand that what they see is not what everyone else sees and they should be a little more open to someone creating an alternative look that might fit someone else's eyes better. As long as that person is not profiting from it or taking credit for the track itself, I just don't understand the problem.

Lets think of it. Lets imagine. If someone, anyone, made changes to my skinpacks to adapt to another car, or integrate them in harmony into a larger group, or migrate them to another game, or simply because they want blue instead of green, and they keep the original author's name in a readme or whatever.

Yeah, please do. Go ahead.
You want to use them for a league ? Aaaw thanks dude
The races are live on Twitch ? Look mom I'm on TV!

And now what if they don't keep my name.

Tss, bloody bastards... Kids these days, no education... Good old days...
But at least they liked it and used it. It's a win. A salty win but a win.

And before you asked, yes, both situations already happened.
So no, personally I can't understand why it would be "bad" to modify/use publicly something made by other.

Is your FFB also extremely syrong with this car?

It is very strong for me as well using the csp version of the car.

 

[Fanapryde]

Is your FFB also extremely syrong with this car?

I have only tried the CSP version so far and with my Simucube DD wheel I had to reduce the power from the 15Nm I always use to 11Nm. And even then i feel quite massive jolts over kerbs, so yes I also think FFB is very strong.

hi guys, something strange here :
have this Kart mod by REG Simulations (very good imho btw), and when I create previews, the custom suits from my skin.ini in the skin folders are not taken into account for the final render (they are shown in the preview oddly enough!):

Also in-game the suits are not taken from the skin.ini

EDIT : found it! apparently case-sensitivity issue: I put [driver_no_hans] instead of [driver_no_HANS]
and the final preview and game also takes the changes suit and helmet!

 

[BarneyA]

I have found that when cars are not moving forward it's not the track that is the issue, but the modded cars themselves. Keep in mind what cars are not moving and if they are the same cars in every track.

If it is indeed the car, 99.5% of the time this is what the issue is for me

I have had success by unticking the use extended physics box within content manager, hope this helps.

 

[jac0]

anyone got working/improved ai for the Teamsport Preston Kart Track ? (You can find a copy on Breathe's amazing track list.)

btw I removed the godawful pita meat things wrapped around every pole, by adding this in the tracks ext_config.ini file:
[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES = Platform_columns_SUB1
IS_RENDERABLE = 0

ps : it is a blast to drive with my electric rental mod...

if only the AI would drive a bit more competitive, it would be very good experience of offline virtual indoor karting.

Hi all

I've been working on a better version of Circuit Zandvoort. Initially I intended to update the 2020 or ACTK version, but I ended up doing complete new version based on that same track. In previous versions the elevations were off, and this being my local track it frustrated me tremendously. With this version of Zandvoort I hope to be much closer to reality. This is a day-to-day version of the track, meaning none of the Formula 1 assets are present.

Besides these changes I've also made various other improvements, adding a groove and other details. This however is as far as my skillset can take it. I'm sure there are many more improvements that can be made, and I invite anyone who'd like to to do so. I can think of working digital flagboards, DRS zones/F1 assets (Ill share this file with Pyyer), nicer water, 3d trees/foliage and probably more.

You can download the track here.

To achieve the looks shown in these screenshots I use of CSP and Grass FX as well as SOL/Pure is needed

I've also just uploaded the file on GT Planet itself, so you can download it right here!

Just curious, did you use the zandvoort2020 track as a base for this version and did you change any of the material names, especially for the grass areas? If it's based off the zandvoort2020 track, a lot of the changes I made for zandvoort2020 a few months back might convert over seamlessly. Things like the animated flags, extras crowds and grandstands, etc. would fit right into place as long as nothing has been moved.
