Any suggestions on what I can adjust CSP settings wise to fix at the very least the distant tree shadowing? I can live with the grass_fx, but not having the trees shadowed properly in the distance is really turning me off. I looked into the Smart Shadows settings, but there seems to be a lot of options that have been removed. Thanks for any advice.

You can try to deactivate the new option "Automatic splits" under "Smart Shadows" in the newer CSP versions. I don`t like the result of this option in VR at all. You can now again manually adjust the "Distances for interior/exterior" for shadow splits in meter like in the old CSP versions. I use "2.6, 120, 400" for interior and the standard values "10, 50, 250" for exterior. Especially the 2.6 for the first shadow split is very important as the standard value 1.3 causes heavy shadow flickering in the cockpit in VR for me as the first shadow split is with 1.3m distance inside the cockpit for many cars. But I don't know, if this solves the problem with distant tree shadowing. Maybe this has also something to do with the new "Custom shadow matrices: Fourth cascade for distant shadows" option. But I would not deactivate this option as it removes the disturbing "running" shadows of fences and on grandstands in the distance. You should also be aware, that if you increase the distance for the 3rd shadow split to 400 meter, that this will automatically reduce the sharpness and quality of the shadows in shadow split 1 and 2. But that's not too bad as I always thought, that the near shadows of split 1 were always much too sharp in AC compared to real life shadows. I also don't think, that the shadows under the cars are too light now, as in real life these shadows aren't as dark as you might think because the road is always reflecting light under a car in bright sunshine.

I didn't know that disabling that split option would bring back some of the old options. I'll give that a try and keep my fingers crossed that it works. Thank you.

How can you even download all those different preview versions? I only have ...-preview1.
And the 0.2.5-preview1 breaks the AI for me.

First impressions:

  • "Copywrite by VRC" being announced when I load a session is.. interesting.
  • Car sounds incredible and drives great. Not a total grip monster and requires some finesse.
  • Tire wear is really high, given it has soft slicks.
  • I see the light leak as mentioned previously. As well the rivets(?) around the dash flicker in some scenarios.
  • The dash is laggy and hard to read.
  • Not a fan of this push to start.

I'm enjoying a car with only LOD A , but the side mirrors disappear very quickly for the oppents (when they are approx 30 meters ahead).

I've maxed my LOD settings as such :

1734897164288.png


but it makes no difference at all... !?

Anyone an idea what settings can prevent the side mirrors from disappearing quite close-by (so noticeably) ?

EDIT : pfff , GTPlanet makes the screenshot smaller at upload* and thus almost unreadable...
Here a copy of the screenshot outside of GTPlanet (readable this time)

ps: I wonder, would that not be the case when you go for a premium account?

This is a fun little car except that if I try and run it in a one make race it causes all kinds of screen freezes, or the whole race will run at half speed for just a bit. Hotlapping is fine. Everything is normal. I haven't tried running it mixed in with other cars.

good attempt, I didn't think of that one yet ... it was at 6 , changed it to 300 but no change.

also adding this :

[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES = mirrorl_body, mirrorr_body
MOVE_TO = COCKPIT_HR

did not solve it. :banghead:


EDIT : content of lods.ini :

[COCKPIT_HR]
DISTANCE_SWITCH=300 ;was 6

[LOD_0]
FILE=porsche_997_carrera_cup.kn5

I would be happy if the AI just didnt crash at the start.They make a beeline for the pits.Straighten trajectory dosnt help.(on or off)
Some cars just sit there. sigh

edit Kunos tracks are doing it as well.Something has broken AI. I am on 0.2.4 csp

edit It was the csp vers.Rolled back to 0.2.3 and all is good.(well...except CM showroom cant use BC7 dds compression) NJW (never just works) EDIT well now it does work...didnt before but I will take it.

I wanna lick the red one but I am afraid it would burn my tongue. Interior shot with DYMO tape.Supposed to look like the Yoyodyne sticker was there first and the guy who put the Dymo tape labels tried to peel it off but he gave up and stuck the labels over it.

Well, until Ilja returns to Earth and gives us one of those new builds to actually use, I'm sticking with the alien abduction theory. In fact, I'm even going to start searching the skies for a UFO with 'x4fab Patreon' written on the side of it.

Hopefully it won't disappear in a misty vapor along with the money we contribute to support CSP development. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Can I make the analog work without empties?

Just relying on the Object origin point and rotation on the Y value in blender ?

Don't know if it has been replied already (hard to keep track on mobile reader), but the answer would be no for me, vanilla data rely entirely on empties with proper naming, doesn't even need a mesh in fact.
