Top Gear Dunsfold (FM7) - v1.01

Description:
This is a representation of the Top Gear test track at Dunsfold, UK as it is circa 2024+
It is still used today, for driver experiences, filming, etc and as a private track.
This virtual version brings not only the classic figure eight hotlap, but also a layout to race on the eight (beware chaos!),
as well a 3.6km layout using the full runway (thats a 1.5km flat run kiddos). and a few more!

Layouts:

• Hotlap classsic solo 1pit + hotlap start (practice or hotlap only)
• Top Race is the classic figure of eight for solo and multiplayer (beware of extreme head-on chaos in longer races)
• Top Loop is a new layout that continues straight after turn 1
• Top Speed is new using the full length runway (also in reverse and great supercar fun)

Features:

• Classic Hotlap for solo runs
• 4 Layouts complete with AI and 13 to 20 gridspots depending on layout
• 5 cameras per layout
• RainFX, GrassFX, lighting, etc = CSP is required

Credits:

• Original model by Turn10, converted to Assetto Corsa by @RMi_wood
• skids, groove and other help by @leBluem
• road PBR texture by @tyrone/Nukedrop
• objects and AI for Top Race layout by @mteam
• beta testing by those above and @shi and @macko68

Hi Paintbox, Was wondering if you could help me add wipers to the Hilman please. Is it just a case of putting your file in the vehicle folder somewhere.
Many thanks

Greame

Hey,

Unzip the download and you should find a file called ext_config.ini

Open the car folder within your Assetto install, open the folder called Extension then you should see a file with the same name as the one in the download. You can either replace with mine or open these files in notepad and copy paste the section about animated wipers into yours.

Very nice indeed! But the hotlap layout will often give 00:00.001 laptimes.

hi @Paintbox , I tried but it did not work. I did not have a file of that name already in the folder. Is there something else I need to do? Should it not be an animation file for wipers?

Anyone else get horrendous performance with 20 cars on track? Never had this before. Maybe due to latest CSP version?
When I'm alone on track no issues at all..

I've had trash CPU performance when AI racing with the new RSS and VRC cars for the past 6 months. Huge stutters/frame time spikes and CPU drops for seemingly no reason.

Older cars from RSS/URD/VRC, even ones with recent-ish CSP requirements like the URD Radical SR3 the RSS GT1 pack (both updated and targeting ~0.2.3, I think) run absolutely fine in a 20 car field and as they have for many years (9900K 5 GHz).

I'd wager there's some wacky unoptimized CSP physics experiment going haywire with new cars tailored for it - that, or the modding teams have gotten extremely LUA-happy inside the car without any consideration to CPU performance. The dangers of an open platform.


No idea if it will improve - but I've had to earmark racing the new RSS GTs and VRC protos for my next computer a year or two from now. I can hotlap to try them out - but any decent-sized field, AI or human, really affects the smoothness of the game.

A shame.

If you don't have the folder just create it and move my file to that location.
assettocorsa\content\cars\tc_legends_hillman_imp\extension

Its just an extension file for Custom Shaders Patch to do the animating. Do you have CSP installed?

same here.
since the protech gt3, new rss are unraceable.
I don't even know how to complain since the discord channel seems to be for publicity and events only.
I've mailed them though, one of those incredibly annoying long drunk rants.
been a week, no reply.


don't know how similar the issue is, but as I reported here some time ago, Chemflummi's tt3 works seems problematic too.
the AKR gen3s are (despite the unglorious looks) quite heavy but manageble on most tracks.
weirdly enough, no problem with the LMHs from the big names.

Thanks again, I will try again when I get home. Yes CSP installed , love driving these in the rain but have found that a lot of the cars do not have wipers. Did you happen to make wipers for other cars in this tc legends pack?

Is it because of the figure-8-layout? I've had other versions of this track with the same issue.

Not a big problem, but it s@@@@s up the hotlap track records every time a bogus lap is registered.

 

[Quark67]

Was just about to post that the first time I applied a CSP preview to the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano by LaMorte, it was all blue crystals and hanging off the side of the screen. I just hit the 'update previews' button a second time and the car is now centred and rendered properly.

View attachment 1462476
It seems CM sometimes struggles to resolve the code the first time, but gets there in the end.
If anyone gets janky results with certain cars, just try another pass.

Edit: HA! One skin at a time is OK but I tried updating all of the Fiorano skins in one go and got this:

So yeah... something isn't quite right somewhere.

Edit: restarting CM seems to fix things... until they bork themselves again. Rinse/repeat.

With encrypted cars you can try to enable "Use CSP for final previews render" option under CM/ Settings/Content Manager/Custom Showroom/Previews".
Update the previews (only for the encrypted cars)
When you finisched, disable "Use CSP for final previews render" option

Thank you so much for your work on the 155, do you plan on doing skins for the cars than ran in JTCC?

Its funny you mention that as i did find some pictures of one Alfa 155 in the JTCC, the only issue is i need someone from the land of the rising sun to send me some japanese characters as i have no idea how to make them

anyone from Japan able to send me over these characters so i can do this skin?

Its possible there is a fix, I kind of know why. Try restarting the session before setting off on the first try for now.

A shame.

LUA, or overuse of PBR, or ridiculously long ext configs, or the new (largely trash) physics, or new AI algorithms... or more memory leaks in CSP's spaghetti code. Who knows. It's bloody frustrating though.
I think it's definitely a CPU (as opposed to GPU) issue though. I have to ensure that my PC (GeForce RTX 4080 with i9-13900KF, so not tip-top but certainly no slouch) is not running ANY background tasks, and that I've not accessed YouTube while having CM started. Even streaming radio to my surround system while playing Assetto Corsa seems to be enough to tank the framerate. The only thing that works is a fresh restart of the PC and ONLY use CM/CSP (and any associated necessary things like Sim Commander) in that session. It never used to be this way though.

Hey guys, need some help.

Does anyone knows and/or have any of the following NASCAR cars, of the 1969/70 season?

I'm probably late again but...

"It may have started in 1995 after the Kobe earthquake, or the Great Hanshin earthquake, when the home baseball team Orix Buffaloes (then Orix BlueWave) started the “Ganbarou Kobe” campaign to encourage the region and to support restoration."

I don't think it's due to my PC specs.
So it's definitely something in CSP and/or mods itself.

I don't think it's due to my PC specs.

IMO it's the sound. AC is badly optimized for over 512 channels, some of the new cars have over 100 channels each. When the limit is reached AC starts throttling.

Try to limit sound of other cars in CM. It helps a little, but it's not an optimal solution.

Hello,
Is there a possibility to fix the dark doors within the Smart Mirror.
The Problem occurs only for the doors.
It shoud have same color as the fender.

Affected Cars: F50 and Corvette C1 from Some1.

Greetings

I also noticed a drop in performance with the latest editions of CSP, I've been doing experiments of any kind to optimize performance for 2 months now, in the end I found my optimal settings for my configuration, which I would like to share:
RTX 3070ti
Ryzen 7 7800 3D
Samsung 65" 1440p TV (so I can't use the G-Sync of nvidia cards)
With these specs I play at an excellent graphic detail around 80/90 fps for the heaviest tracks and 120/140 fps for the other tracks.
Below are the photos of my settings for nvidia profile inspector, a program that is very often underestimated but very important for me!
IMPORTANT: since I had also asked here some time ago but without luck and on the internet I had not found solutions regarding those damned shadows and their flickering, I finally found the solution, the only antialiasing that solves the problem is SPARSE GRID SUPERSAMPLING set to 8x, it's definitely heavy, but my eyes have finally stopped suffering. 😍

If anyone is interested I could also share my CSP settings, I tried all the possible configurations and in the end I got the best for my configuration, meaning visual rendering and screen fluidity.

Good evening everyone ☺️

Maybe thats the price you pay for progress and the best cars in sim racing .

Tthe best cars in Sim Racing (aforementioned RSS GT1 pack, URD Radical SR3, AMS2 Brazilian Stock Cars, Fuzo Touring Cars, VRC 90's Prototypes, WSC Legends Pack, VRC LMP1s off the top of my head) all were made 5+ years ago now and run buttery smooth.

😉


Not only that - the RSS GT3 Pack 1 used to run smoothly - then they were "updated" for 0.2.8 late last year, and while they drive identically, they now stutter like mad. I have half a mind to email RSS and ask for my previous working versions. The thing is, I don't really care too much, as if I want to race GT3s I just run ACC (and soon LMU) and I'm only really fond of the RSS Huracan EVO.

"Progress" is fine, as long as the performance profile of the sim isn't compromised - which it very much is in these cases. This is not a new game - I shouldn't need a 9800X3D to get decent CPU performance out of a 13 year old game.
