Most welcome!
Developer tools in your browser and the Wayback Machine (especially when I suspect something is an old logo of the company) are my best friends.

Right clicking a website (usually the /about page) and diving into the 'inspect'/'developer tools'/whatever your browser calls it and rummaging through the html and 'sources' finds you all kind of images that are not necessarily visible on the website, but are uploaded should they be needed.

Digging through social media accounts (of the teams) also works, they usually love to spam the sponsor logos. The teams' drivers social media is also great, especially posts from the beginning of the season.

It's much more easy and less time consuming.

1) Navigate to 'Content', then 'Cars'.
2) Click on any car on the left.
3) Click the tiny arrow next to 'Update Previews' at the bottom of the window, then click 'Options'.
4) Select the new preview you'd like to use at the bottom of the preference window, then click the 'Update Selected Skin (without confirmation)' button (box with a + in it).
This tells Content Manager that this is the default skin to use.
5) Quit the preview, and select all cars in the left list (click one, then CTRL+A).
6) Click the drop-down at the bottom and select Look > Update Previews.
7) Click 'Update XXX cars' when you're ready. This may take a few hours depending on the number of cars.


Or
1) Go to 'Content', then 'tools'.
2) Click 'Launch' button of the 'Update previews' tool
3) Click 'Autoselect' button at the bottom
4) Click 'Update Previews' at the bottom of the window

Has anybody ever got this to work for a large number of cars? I set it running overnight only to find that it'd stopped after a short while because it came across a car with a lods.ini issue. Not sure why CM cares about lods when generating a preview from the main kn5, but trying to understand CM or CSP logic is a well-trodden path towards madness. It'd be good if cars that CM doesn't like are simply flagged and skipped, rather than halting the whole process.

Hi, is it possible you can share the preview that you use? It's quite good

I have a request for @Apocalypse211 : could you, pretty please, make a 2008 skin for RT's infinitely better version of Fuji ? MTS' is pure unoptimised **** lol

Send me the track link and I will check.

If I remember correctly I ran into some issues with that Fuji version with VRC cars. Not sure though. I always had good races at MTS Fuji in my seasons though.

Notes: Based on Kunos GT3 RS etc with updated values, new power lut, sound from the 911 Turbo, some Cphys elements are used such as the brakes and tyre heating model. May have too much grip right now, but I am ball park withe the Sport Auto Nordschelife supertest time.

Skins based on the Porsche Press Car fleet, they had a shortage of wheels, so only the gold was available for most press cars ;)

I don't havce a template to make small German Number plates and am not skilled enough in photoshop to create something (I tried) to fit the US rear bumper so plate has been disabled in a config :(

Feedback appreciated!

Edit link fixed

MTS is so badly unoptimised it is impossible to race, even alone, on that track for me :(

Thanks. I will test it when I have time. :) If it's good I will replace MTS with this one.

PS: What do you mean by "unoptimized"? Do you mean you get bad FPS?

Yes, sadly - 75 FPS at most which in reality feels like 45 because it's so choppy. I have pretty robust PC so it has to be that track - don't have that problem with other tracks or even games

Original Mod (copy over the data folder), in your skin folder are more skins then the original

I see and remember LoreLord converted this one, his free Patreon page is no more and he had posted not anymore since 2024

Yes, there are some skins included that I've been working on, some that I adapted to Lore's TT from another DTM TT. A lot of it is unfinished. Maybe someone has time to continue it.

Try fully extending the Render Stats menu app. It shows your CPU/GPU performance, bottleneck and FPS loss.

The first image shows how Riverside performs with no lights (0.01 CPU ms usage)

View attachment 1463164

With the lights are turned on it shows a 0.06% CPU ms usage and 5.2 FPS performance cost. (Which would matter if I'm using an unlocked frame rate) You can also see my CPU/GPU usage when up from 18.1% to 19.7%. another good indication is those little color graph bars next to the stats numbers. (Green = Good) it varies from computer to computer.

My rig
CPU: i5 - 14600k
GPU: RTX 4070 Super
Nvidia Driver: 560.94
1080p 60fps (Using old 60hz AOC monitor)

CSP: 0.2.12-p1
PP Filter: PHOTOreal (Some filters heavily affect performance, I just really like this one)
Nearly every CSP setting left at default.

Na, sorry then, if there would be any error, you would see a red dot. Also LUA fps breaker is only on the CPU side if error are happen.
But on your side it is really a GPU issue:
View attachment 1463198
So something must exponentially use the GPU then. Just make the CSP render stats app bigger and you see the single parts, maybe you can isolate the reason for this.

@Aldo Raine

Suggestion:
A method/tool I've had some success with is:
At a point when the FPS has dropped, stop the car, and use the F7 camera and the cursor keys to "exclude" objects of suspicion (look away from, so that obj is not in the rendered scene), checking for FPS at the same time. I've used this idea in the car too, to isolate FPS-hungry PBR shadered textures.
If you can isolate a culprit, Object Inspector gives you a mesh/material name, to hide or change shaders for, in ext-config.ini ?

Observation in this vein, from your screenshot:
Chase-cam puts ALOT of renderable stuff on the screen, esp at night with many lights. In this view the car's rear lights, the 4/8K skin etc, etc. Lotsa work for the GPU. Easy to check. Does shifting the camera to in-cockpit make any change to the FPS?

Thanks guys for the advice, I'm trying to learn more and more things from you and from this wonderful community!
I redid some tests, unfortunately I need 2 photos for each situation because there wasn't all the data in just one, so the first two photos are at the beginning of the tests, everything is ok, then I get to the first area where the fps drops, then in the last two photos the whole framerate collapses..
If you can understand something... 😓
@andrevr When I have the fps drop, if I look to the sides where I only have the barriers lit, I have a 40 fps drop, if I look forward to the stands, it drops by 90 fps..

The issue is coused by
CLUSTER_THRESHOLD = 5
in [LIGHT_SERIES_...] section, which creates too many lights
Expecially for the Stands meshes which are large

Yup! that's interesting since I too have several tracks where it's impossible to race at night: the lighting causes the fps to drop to unplayable levels...

And there's an easy solution (changing that 5 for another digit 😗), or (as I terribly fear 😢) it's too complicated to optimize these problems? I ask out of scientific curiosity, since I don't see myself capable of messing around with these codes too much...

I had the same issue. Try this adjusted preset, plus drop the models.ini in the TAV_moderna showroom folder.

@samdale12, you seem to know your way around these CSP previews. Are you able to explain what these various parameters mean?
I dropped my crystal ball onto my Rosetta stone and I can no longer astral project onto Ilja's yacht to ask him WTAF he's smoking when he labels these things.
I've done a variation of your preview above but can't seem to get the background to stay in exactly the same position every time, or to get all cars to scale correctly first time.
Occasionally the background (or car) will shift slightly in the scene, or the odd car will appear huge.
I just want all previews to look like the camera hasn't moved, and that every car is always centred the same.
Lock camera in preview window means what exactly? The preview window is a blue crystal mess with planes cutting through the car. Not useful at all.
World space? Screen space?
Rel? Rel what? Religion? Relativity? Relocation? Relationships?

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a shadow issue that I've noticed recently when going through my track collection. It seems that some trees don't generate any shadows for some reason. Below is my example with pictures. The track is Palm Beach Speedway, I've no particular affection for the track, it just highlights the problem well, the link to the track is here so you can see the issue for yourself: https://www.mediafire.com/file/jil7byewx09nxij/palmbeach_speedway.rar/file

Working.png

Here are some working trees from the circuit, as you can see the shadows are fine.

Not Working.png

Next, these trees, despite using the same shader and having all other settings the same cast no shadows.

no csp.png

The same again but this time with CSP disabled, the shadows cast but have a super short draw distance.

I have tried everything I can think of, I've set shadows to cast in all manner of different ways in ext_config, messed around with cull/blend/depth modes, changed the textures from DDS to PNG and back, changed shader values and shader types. I've also been through several different CSP versions and gone methodically through every module within CSP, disabling each and retesting but have not had any luck.

Can anyone think of anything else I can try or has anyone fixed this issue on other tracks? Thanks.

As a classic F1 fan I think it's pretty amazing that we have 1984 Dallas and 1982 Caesars Palace.Those tracks were done by "Anonymous". They are "semi decent" but have some issues. As they don't officially have an author I was just thinking that some track expert could polish them a little bit.

Dallas 1984 street circuit especially is pretty cool track to drive and I think it's way nicer street track than Detroit and Phoenix. And the real Dallas GP 1984 was one of the best F1 races ever. It's the one that Mansell collapsed when he was trying to push his car over the finish line.

Caesars Palace is a F1 joke as the track was built on a parking lot. Yes, really.



Sure it's not a great track... actually it's one of the worst ever... but it is important historically. The championship was decided there in 1981 (Piquet when Reutemann completely collapsed) and Keke Rosberg in 1982.It's absolutely WILD that we have those tracks. I think they deserve some attention but I don't want to start building tracks as I'm easily addicted and I'm already addicted to my season building hehe. The foundation is ok but they def. need some polishing. Dallas especially could at least use some safe AI lines for the SD 1984 cars (the only ones we have).

Check them out.

Of course now we have some really high quality 80's tracks as Shi's Long Beach and Detrot works. But Dallas and Caesars could use some work. And of course we don't have the 1980's Zandvoort.
