When driving at night at sx_lemans (version 2.9 with Pyyer 2024 3.0 extension), you get these helicopters flying around.
I recently discovered that at night the light beams coming from these is no light beam anymore but instead a white 'smear' on the screen. I'm pretty sure it worked before (I'm tinkering with Pure and CSP as little as needed but do always run latest versions).

I've already tried rolling back to previous CSP versions, which did not help.
Does anyone know what could be causing this and/or how to fix this?

Have you tried to disable the heli kn5 file?

Hey @racinjoe013 thanks for this, I didn't find the mentioned road holes with this new file so I think this fixed that.

However watch out with these two surfaces at the s/f straight on the pictures as they are hollow and the car falls through. Although grass terrain besides it is there. Maybe check similar such joining roads/surfaces in other places if they do have terrain.

I found here one extra TV cameras file that I made some time ago if you want it

Btw do you think something can be done with the haybales? I don't know why track makers stick with them but it is annoying to race with them around acting like cinderblocks since they don't move. Would it be possible to make them non-collidable and instead underneath a haybale to put a curb-like bump that would make the car hop when running over it and upset a car just enough? Similar solution was with the buried tires at Bridgehampton or Sergio Loro what he implemented at his 60s Stardust with also buried tires.

Cheers

Try it now. I added a second version with a tiny bit of road noise in some areas to at least give the road a little more feel in your hands. The straights felt lifeless to me on my weaker wheel. If it's too much, just delete the spa66_phy.kn5 file and rename the spa66_phy_no_noise.kn5 file to spa66_phy.kn5.

spa66_phy_update

As for the haybales, not sure I want to make them passthrough because of the ai issues that would cause and how unrealistic that would be. I'll see if there is a better way to do it so the impact is not so harsh.

Thanks for the cam. I'll add it too the track for the next update when I feel like the road is fixed.

OK great stuff! Honestly I got used to all the rumble and I only have a G27 and not a DD wheel. But trying out this 'no noise' feels actually nicer and yet again with enough of the dips and road undulations so the car's steering is still quite lively around the track. I think I like personally that one more. Maybe just this last straight section after La Carriere and before the Blanchimont is without any dips at all it seems.

Don't forget about the missing terrain on the joining roads at the s/f line and pits exit section, the cars fall through there 🙏


Oh and someone a while ago mentioned that they noticed this zeppelin is moving backwards :D maybe just rotating it 180deg

Crap, forgot about that one. Be right back with the fix. Not sure about the Zeppelin. I'm typically not looking up when I race so I never paid attention to how it moves.

Of course I can try and get rid of the helicopters altogether but that is beside the point. Something somehow changed along the way and made them look like this.
Everyday is an opportunity to learn so I'm trying to figure it out ;)

EDIT...I had the wrong update.


It feels pretty good on my G923 but I fell off the map just in front of the start line.(left side)


On a related note...my G923 has started chattering when the steering wheel is centered and am going above 125 mph.Its in the game because you can see it onscreen as well.Its on all tracks and some cars are worse than others.
gain 100. Filter and min force 0. Effects all at 33 percent. Post processong 0.

It didnt seem to be this way before.Changing CSP versions dosnt have any affect.Game files verified.

Really? Damn, guess I have to check it again. I didn't see any holes so i'm not sure why.

EDIT: You're going to have to show me where because i'm not seeing it. Are you sure you got the updated version of the updated version. I originally forgot to do the area left of the s\f line.

Erf just so its clear to me, you just did a new road mesh with LESS feeling? Cause if anything i would actually enjoy to have more 🤪. Those old tracks and their bumps are why i stick to AC.

After intensive tweaking and for the record, for those like me who went crazy about the car shadows disapearing behind small windshields, it's in CSP Fake shadows, uncheck "properly project shadow on the ground".

Many thanks! This has been driving me nuts for ages. FYI, it also applies to older versions of CSP (in my case, 0.1.80 preview 9)...

Sort of. The track is still plenty bumpy, but might not be as bumpy as it originally was. What this was meant for was to fix the holes in the road mesh that apparently caused people some issues. Personally, i've been driving this track for the last two years and never ran across one of the holes, but if they are there, I wanted to fix them. To fix the holes required me to lose some of the bumpiness because I used the visual road mesh as the base for the physical road mesh since it was the easiest way to fix all the gaps. The visual road mesh did not have as much life as the old physical one. So I tried to compensate for that by adding some 'noise' to the new one. For me, where I ended up works well, but its' an easy enough thing to add more for people who would prefer it. At the moment i'm only concerned with the holes. I'll play around with the road feel once I know the holes are gone.

I'm still wondering where the holes came from to begin with and if the original spa66 track had them as well. I never touched the road mesh so if the original doesn't have the same holes then I don't know how what I did caused them to appear.

I hate to disagree with peeps that want it bumpier but its plenty bumpy IMO.You will never please everyone so ya gotta please yourself. :cool:

Maybe this helps: https://github.com/ac-custom-shaders-patch/acc-extension-config/blob/master/config/smart_shadows.ini. At least as a thought.
Click to expand...
That does kind of help to deconstruct things. I think.
From this text...
Code: 
; Shadow cascades for interior cameras. unfortunately, with only three splits,
; not much can be done, so if you want to increase quality or distance for shadows
; outside, you can go full Gran Turismo and set it to something like 25, 75, 200
; (that game has incredibly bad interior shadows, but with dark interiors, it’s not
; really noticeable). Also, if needed, original Kunos values are 1.3, 80, 250.
INTERIOR_SPLIT=1.3, 40, 200 ; Distances for interior; text; hidden with AUTOMATIC_SPLITS
... it seems that the first value was the distance in metres that the highest-quality shadow would be rendered (then cascading down to the second mid-quality split then the third lowest-quality split), which Kunos had at 1.3m but Polyphony Digital set at 25m.
So, with a beefy PC you should be able to set the first split distance quite high and get (probably totally unnecessarily) cockpit-quality shadows off into the environment at whatever distance you set. But this only seems to work if you have Custom Shadow Matrices ticked, and even then results aren't great, and cockpit shadows flicker. Seems I also need to have shadow resolution set to 4096x4096 in AC video settings to avoid reduce shadow banding in the environment.

You can follow a similar procedure for Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2.
You have to edit also "hide_plate.ini" in a similar way.
NOTE: this car for now doesn't work. It gives an encryption error.

Awesome that you try to fix the mesh problems at Old Spa.

I remember a deadly one on the far left side of the Holowel Straight.
If I remember correctly it is at around the 100 Meter Sign before Stavelot.

I guess you found it already. If not and if needed a can make a picture when I am back at my PC.

Onto the haybales. I agree with Felix.
It would be great for online racing to have them passthrough or better slightly touchable, like they behave at 60s Zeltweg (https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/zeltweg-1966.67840/).
The reason is that the haybales are often the last thing drivers see before they end their race in a fatal crash, when they only touch them a bit while passing them fast.

To cover both (AI and Online), two different layouts might be and idea.

Many thanks for your effort @racinjoe013

I'll give it a try. There was a few spots where i was missing some rumbling while driving, but otherwise it's always been one of my favourite tracks, including the very bumpy parts you actually had to pay attention for.

I'm not worried too much, you've always done a great job:)
 
Hi @All

Some days/weeks ago someone posted about guerilla´s GT4 possible AI problems ? Can someone confirm that? Someone made the same experience?
I am worried about replacing my current good worjing 0.9 grid with a possibly faulty 1.0 ? :confused:

Another question. Did someone already tested bazza´s updated GTC, WSC cars on older CSP versions (like 179p...) Should everything be fine....

Thanks
 
Something is not working correctly for me, with the latest Alfa TZ2 from the GTCLegends pack. The gaduboyz TZ2(s) are installed as prescribed, but attempts to drive the GTC TZ2 get me the error:
--
TZ2-Error1.PNG

--
I re-downloaded and re-installed both the GTC60s V1.2 TZ2 and the Gaduboyz TZ2, to no avail.

Notable that the other cars using this refer-to-another-car technique work correctly (ferrari 250 GTO and the Alfa 33).

Anyone else? I guess I'll just use the Gadu boyz instead.

(Also notable that when attempting to view (in the CM Showroom) the TC60s TZ2 (and the Alfa 33 Stradale, but not the Ferrrari 250 GTO) results in using the showroom LITE instead of the regular showroom.)

Same here... After messing two days with both packs, with various result, I ended up keeping most of my original cars. Quite some of the 'new' versions looked worse than before and had multiple issues (for me).
E.g. the Ferrari 250 LM. The GADU Boyz/ F40 LM Lover had a great instrument panel, AC Legends used a simplified one that looked quite bad..
For some cars the skins of the old versions became incompatible...etc...

On the other hand, there were some nice additions ;)
