Add this to the end of existing ext_config.ini, extract the skins.zip into track folder and enable the skin 1984, and you get rid of both, the windmills and the solar panels, as long the skin is enabled.
INI:
[INCLUDE: ../skins/default/ext_config.ini.dds]
ACTIVE = 1

@Vintagedriver: did you try my Beez conversion?
so this skin sis for rt zolder right?

you should be using Object Inspector and/or 3dsimed to find textures and meshes.

Thanks. I wasn't even aware of that object inspector. I'm not much of a modder. I'm only good with Photoshop. But that is great asset, thanks.

PS: Does anyone know whether those Zolder track factories were present in the eighties or not? Should I remove them from the 80's skins? Windmills and solar panels already removed thanks to great advice from the guys.

PS2: How about the gas station now? Managed to find a 80s gas pump from Google images.

Conversion/Rework

1994 BTCC Peugeot/Talbot Sport 405 #18 Patrick Watts

Not exact for a number of reasons out of my control but its close enough. Some stickers are guess work, not many

To install: choose what res you want and drag that content folder over to CM

if you want AO change the name of the main skin file to "405_BODY.DDS"

Picture is without AO

car: https://modsfire.com/d1vPhx1y6B5nQ22


If anyone is up for doing the Omega skin then be my guest i wont be touching it i think that skin belongs on the LHD version as its not a BTCC skin (i dont think anyway)

edit: yes the Omega skin is from the ITCC
if we just extract to the car folder......without renaming anything the car is white only. Or is it just me?

i will write this in the uploads aswell seeing as a few people have said the same thing

no i didnt change anything at all i'm not that skilled 🤣 🤣

kenny ken had the same issue as you and renamed the file and all was good.
 
Today ContentManger updated all track configs and in the filepath: Assetto Corsa\extension\config\tracks\loaded\ks_nordschleife_lights.kn5 the "misc_add.dds“ is missing. Also the chimney smoke isn’t there.

Does anybody know what happened?

From what I remember there were some motocross tracks at the time, those factories started to appear from the mid 1990's onwards.
Can't remember there was a gas station, but certainly not in that configuration. The cars just went straight into the pits.

Yeah probably not. I removed the factories, thanks for the info. The gas station looks cool and is kinda part of the layout so I think we can let it in.
 
I can send you the preset files.

Have always liked this preview settings, someone sent it to me a long time ago and honestly cannot remember.

Also use this for skin editing as colors in showroom and track look the same.

Hi Guys

I do have some unfinished track texture updates which I'm still working on.

Some of these tracks are just not ready and not to my liking before I can upload.

As with many other tracks, sometimes I just reset and start all over again.


I would like to know from the community if there is a track that you would like a complete texture update.

Am open to requests and looking for something new to work on.

No street circuits please, I like scenery, elavation, old or new tracks as long as they have flow and pleasing to the eye :)


The most requested track I will work on.

Please aslo provide a link to the track as I may not have the track.
Cathedral Rock International Circuit?

Gilles Reims-67. Someone did some time ago a remaster for it, adding grass and VAO; But, thats not enough. Some night lights would be good, to replicate some of the 12h of Reims.

P.S.: I know there are other versions of Reims out there. But either they are from another era (pre-war or the 50s), or they don't have enough grid spots. It's the only decent version available from the 60s with +20 spots.

Even though J3DMODDING made an excellent mod of it, I never saw it available (like any of their mods)

Sergio's working on a proper '60s Reims, I wouldn't personally waste time on that 8-lane-highway version.

Yes just rename the file to the same as other skins for that car. I think it was car_body.dds. You will see when you check your files.
 
Hey Guys

Without me changing anything I now have a problem.

Was updating Zolder 1967 ext file with new lighting and grass fx, relaunched track and started getting errors.
Just let you know there is also a @rainmaker Zolder 1967 version. I do not know if this is compatible, it’s also based on the same source as from Gilles75. Think Rainmaker did do a good job here, but improvements are always welcome.

Will have a look, spent most my time yesterday getting my game back to normal.

Only thing that worked was to restore it to previous date and reinstalling everything again.

Inje Speedium in South Korea could use an update, it's good to drive but lacking quite a bit visually, which is a shame given it should have great scenery.

Latest version link: https://mega.nz/file/yo93HKjL#Bscp6UIhM-1ptarRbDxz8_S_yZ2CEFslqh2yrI0dqKU


What the track should look like:

I would like, if possible, an update/conversion of the track "Le grand circuit 1967" (lemans) to 1970, improving the textures and including a gicane. It is very important to have a quality 70 version of lemans.

Thank you, I would be very grateful. 😉

Ilja did update the ks_nordschleife_lights.kn5 on github and deleted unnecessary textures - thats why it misses the files gstands2.dds; misc.dds; misc_add.dds. Even with adding the textures from the original Kunos files, the Dorint Hotel looks strange now. 😕
 
Here's 1982-1984 Zolder.

Gas station removed (well it's invisible now)
Factories removed (they shouldn't be visible in 1982 and 1984)
Solar panels removed

I also removed stuff like heater pump from the buildings as they didn't exist in the 80's.

I feel the track has very nice 80s "vibe" now. There's no way to make the graphics 100% accurate as there's simply not enough footage but the layout is correct and driving the track really FEELS correct, a bit like the Rainmaker's AC 1988 tracks which are masterpieces. And as it's meant for both 1982 and 1984. Why not 1981 too. Zolder was in the calendar then too.

Correct layout by RevolverS. It plays wonderfully with my modded SD 1982 and 1984 cars. Fast ai, amazing job, virtually ZERO crashes, great ai lines. HUGE thanks for sharing this circuit for us.

Thanks to RMi Wood I was able to learn so much more again. I'm not a modder, just a Photoshop professional (I use it in my work) and a passionate classic F1 fan who wants to play these years. And I actually DO play them. I don't really drive anything else in AC besides these classic F1's. Well RUF Yellowbird and Porsche 993 GT2 are dream cars (which has been done so well) sometimes.

Thanks to this forum I've been able to learn the basic stuff so I can fix some simple things like graphics.

This track now has all accurate sponsors for the era. Elf, Parmalat, Pirelli, Olivetti, Vespa, Marlboro, Rank Xerox, Ellesse, Fuji Film, Shell, etc. all that I have been able to find from the limited footage. I actually watched the full 1984 Zolder race yesterday. Couldn't find the 80s Vespa logo anywhere so I painted it.

Feel free to improve the track or use my skins anywhere you want. From the visual standpoint the track needs more trees at the place where the factory was.

I'm quite happy how I managed to transform the SimDream 1982, 1983 and 1984 cars. They all have correct numbers and (somewhat) correct helmets. It was a HUGE job to fix all SD mistakes I can tell you. The cars don't crash much at all anymore and my seasons are fully playable and the results are very realistic. As you can see in this preview Lauda (eventual 1984 champ) AI 100 and Prost (eventual runner-up AI 100 who lost the title by only 1/2 points) dominated the Zolder qualifying. Sure my methods to make the SD cars competitive were primitive and sloppy as I'm not a modder (like all other tyremodels than supersoft removed) but it's very effective. They're very fast now. Also adjusting the suspension and ARB fixed many issues at Long Beach and Dallas. In their vanilla form they were completely and utterly hopeless (like 3 seconds slower with race mediums) and crashed all over the place. But the fundametal physics are from Kunos Lotus98t.

Personally, I think these old Kunos98T based cars are nicer to drive than the modern F1's. The tyre feel is better in the old ones and somehow this era was so much more exciting anyway. Not as sterile as F1 is today.

Shin has Detroit 1982 and Nurburgring 1984 WIPs which I have both tested and they are as usual great quality. So those are covered.

One more 1982-1984 era track nailed now.

We still need working 80s Zandvoort, 80s Brands Hatch and the old Long Beach 1982 layout. The seasons have ok Brands and Long Beach but that Beach layout is not accurate for 1982 and no decent Zandvoort is available. One that isn't a crash mayhem.

Video is in three parts that shows.

1. Pitstop, the (ex) gas station area and paddock building ads.
2. Actual 1984 F1 season race start and first lap
3. TV view of the first laps where you can see the ads properly

Extract to your /rt_zolder folder and activate the 1982_1984_skins.

Here is the full track with base rt_zolder (in case you don't have it).

Video has the link to the 1982 and 1984 season downloads.
