Further to the above, try this. It'll limit the wing mirror FOV to 45 degrees on the CSP mirror adjustment app, so setting 45 degrees (which seems to be the sweet spot for the wing mirrors) is now simply a case of moving the slider all the way to one side. It also increases the left-right rotation to 90 degrees (from 60), meaning less bodywork/ more road is possible in the reflection.
Remove the .txt extension and add it to ...apps\lua\CarMirrorsConfigurator\CarMirrorsConfigurator.lua after backing up the original.
This assumes you've already installed the CSP mirrors app, of course.
Big spooky thanks to The Ghost Of Momma Bongos for the code.

Thank you so much Masscot for sharing this little nugget.

Now I kinda know what the problem is but no idea how to fix it... The ai is not going full throttle, they don't fully send it on the straights, but no idea why...

Hi all! I just wanted to ask the community: whats the best version of Monaco track today?

Monaco 2019 by CHiQuiFReaKy - although it's behind Patreon



Not perfect (parts in the tunnel seems goofy), but it's the most accurate model available. I heard he based it off Codemasters' version, but worked meticulously to address the inaccuracies, and he managed to do so for the most part.

 

[Juppek]

Okay the ai of every single car is so slow that it isn't even making it into the final gear, you know what... Imma reinstall the game now

Just tested it, and it's because of a combination of the LOD-switching, a CSP setting and COCKPIT_HR distance switch.

This is what's happening; the code is ONLY affecting the main model. Not LOD B, C or D. So the cars further away don't seem to have any issue.

For the Pagani you mentioned, the COCKPIT_HR dinstance switch is set to 7(meters) in the data.acd.
The LOD_0 > 1 switch is set to happen at 15 meters.

Our code put's those meshes inside cockpit_hr, which get's "deleted" after 7meters. This is when the meshes we transferred disappear. But since it only affects the main model, after 15meters, when the LOD_1 (or lodB) gets activated, and our code no longer applies, the meshes re-appear again.

The simplest solution would be to unpack the data.acd, and change the COCKPIT_HR - DISTANCE_SWITCH to the same value as the LOD_0 > 1 switch-value. Which in this case is 15 meters. This solves the issue, unless you have a default CSP function turned on (CSP-settings>Graphic Adjustments>LOD-settings>Force low-res cockpits for other cars in first person view.)

This might also be the right time to say that I'm no expert. I just like tinkering with my favorite game. I hadn't tested your use-case (with other cars) yet, so I'm glad you found this issue so fast.

Thx ! it's indeed solved by disabling this

Force low-res cockpits for other cars in first person view

and I increased the mutiplier for car LODs to 1000 % (rather then changing the data of the car)

It's very enjoyable now!
(But remains to be seen if this 1000 % doesn't yield too much performance issues with other mods...)

Is someone able to tell me what I did wrong ? Alone, the collider is correct, but paired with the car and it just flip.

Wrote to Ilja a couple of weeks ago about the AI (he answered so at least he is aware of it).
Every time an update comes, somehow the AI is always being ****ed up in one or in an other way... As an offline gamer, this is getting more and more frustrating. I even tried to record my own AI lines for some tracks and now after the end of its out-lap, the AI stops on the start/finish line for some reason!!!

Monaco 1988 is excellent. Probably the best one I've tried. AI is good and they don't crash all over the place all the time.

ASR 1992 Monaco is very good too.

Ohh, so this is because of an update?? How do we fix it... I had it once that the ai steered directly onto the racing line after the start but that "fixed" itself or let's say I don't know how it stopped doing this

To be honest I'm not sure that it's because of a specific update, but it didn't use to do it before. At least not of my knowledge.
But that's only one example of what's happening lately...
In some tracks the AI won't even leave the pits, in others it will hit walls for no reason, sometimes it will stop on the start/finish line, sometimes it will almost stop after getting out of the pits and into the track and sometimes it won't start the race but stay stationary on its starting grid slot. At least the last issue is solved after restarting the race.

Hi, does anyone know what happened to Lu Thua Kien (LTK) and why he closed his discord?

I hate this game sometimes and i'm so sorry about this. I tested this mod so much that there is no way I could have overlooked this, but this morning the windows on the Full Course layout are all flickering for some reason. Replace the config in the Full Course layout extension folder with this one. It should fix it and hopefully doesn't cause some other problem tomorrow. The full mod download has been updated with this file for future downloads.

Hi Joe,

with this latest VIR update, are these skins still mandatory? Sorry, lost the tracker with it recently.

Folder Seasonal textures also include a weird file?!

View attachment 1325454

You can probably ditch all of those skins unless you like them better. They should still work except for some potential lighting issues since a lot of the shader values have been changed.

As for the weird file, it's needed to call up the changing seasonal textures if you want to use them. It's a trick that @The Vampire taught me on how to make an ext_config file into a track skin. Instead of having that code in the track's ext_config file and requiring people to enable\disable that feature by editing the track config, they can just enable\disable a track skin. Much easier on the end user.

Regarding the disturbing unrealistic reflections from road/curb paint etc. inside the cockpit :

the move meshes to COCKPIT_HD (as proposed earlier by Tummie555) is unfortunately not a one-fix-for-all ...

Some parts can't be added to the COCKPIT_HD because they then become static when they shouldn't be (eg a chrome part of a steering wheel... )
For some mods in some cases it just doesn't fix it at all either and the reflection remains...
(for example on the WSC60 Ferrari 330 P4 Spyder the LOD_A_EXT_SEAL mesh )

I had to revert to lower the reflectiveness of the material.

This with a trick I picked up here in the forum (forgot who shared it though):

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE=1
MATERIALS = Black Plastic
PROP_... = fresnelC, 0.01
PROP_... = fresnelMaxLevel, 0.02

(add this at the end of the ext_config.ini in the extension folder of the car)

 

[Perico Lospa]

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]

MATERIALS = Black Plastic

Sorry... I don´t know if I'm doing something wrong... I copy-pasted literally this code at the end of the ext_config.ini of the WSC60 Ferrari 330 P4 Spyder and nothing happens; the unreal reflections continue to be seen inside the cockpit. Do I have to modify anything else?

Hello! How is everyone? I wonder what's wrong with the Showroom quality? Thank's.

Awesome version of the track but the infield is way to bumpy should be much closer to the oval. Also minor gripe but the inside of turn 7 looks like a jungle when there are only 3 or 4 big oak trees.

That's kind of a special car-case, since it doesn't have it's own .kn5 model. It borrows everything from the Kunos P4, which can technically be adjusted in 3ds. But that's not legal... Also, there's another weird thing with that car, because the STEER_HR is already inside of the COCKPIT_HR in the Kunos model, but I can confirm the chrome on the steering-wheel reflects kerbs and stuff. Must be something CSP related.

This worked on my pc:

[REFLECTIONS_FX]
INTERIOR_NODES = INT_GAUGES, STEER_HR, COCKPIT_HR

[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES = LOD_A_EXT_DOOR_RIGHT_METAL, LOD_A_EXT_SEAL
MOVE_TO = COCKPIT_HR

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's already a [REFLECTIONS_FX] in the ext_config (almost at the top), replace that part. I only added : , STEER_HR, COCKPIT_HR.

I have no idea what that function does, but it seemed to interfere with the rest of the code. Also, it seemed to work wonders for removing the outside reflections of the steering wheel without breaking it. Maybe it's an even better solution-code..

Just for reference, this is where I found the code: https://github.com/ac-custom-shaders-patch/acc-extension-config/wiki/Mesh-adjustment

According to that page you can also move the entire STEER_HR node into the COCKPIT_HR node through [NODE_ADJUSTMENT_...]

The last improvement (as far as possible), adapting new parts from other cars.
Until someone came along to create a 3d model (definitive for 250TR61).
Added new windshields and modified the rear part.

I believe he was referring to the Toyota GR Supra GT500, that link is not available on Mega but the Shanghai one was always working.

Also very nice work with the MP4-29 and Indianapolis 2007 tracks. Are you planning on doing any more F1 cars?

 

[Jezza819]

Something is wrong today. I've driven about 10 or so different types of cars today, mods, Kunos cars, open wheel, GT3, older cars etc. And I can't get any heat in the tires in any of them. Various tracks, doesn't matter. If the tire does go to green in corner, once the car is going straight again it goes right back to solid dark blue. So I've spent all day and evening sliding around all over the place. The track temp is 29C. The last time I had this happen was back when I first started with AC on PC and the track temperature was too low. Once I raised it to 29 it fixed it. But this is the first time the cold tire issue has came up since then.
