the latest version of CSP is a disaster full of bugs, v0.2.10 extended physics problem, v0.2.11 nvidia overlay problem, v0.2.12 loss of FPS in solo and unplayable online with CPU and graphics card not willing to work at more than 30-40%.
No, those 8k textures were not bc7. I remember reading here from Alguecool that bc7 is supported but there may be bugs with it. Im using gimp and its not offering bc7 export out of the box, maybe need some plugin. Thanks for input.Did you already try to use BC7 dds files? Idk if that works for car skins, but it should generally working with CSP...
"v0.2.11 nvidia overlay problem" which kind of NVIDIA overlay problem? Didn't found time to test it yet (is the suggested free version to use in CM right?)the latest version of CSP is a disaster full of bugs, v0.2.10 extended physics problem, v0.2.11 nvidia overlay problem, v0.2.12 loss of FPS in solo and unplayable online with CPU and graphics card not willing to work at more than 30-40%.

if the nvidia app overlay is enabled, the game simply won't launch (public and preview version)"v0.2.11 nvidia overlay problem" which kind of NVIDIA overlay problem? Didn't found time to test it yet (is the suggested free version to use in CM right?)
I just used the original, which has some transparency you need to get rid of to reuse it properly. I'm on holidays now (im Denmark, near Jyllandsringen), will pm you some usable files when I get home. 👍did you make most of the pattern up? or use the original? if you used the original pattern i would love to know how to extract it because i cannot at all
unfortunately i'm not sure what "alpha layer" means
Thankyou so much for replying to me whilst on holiday, that is dedication. No worries look forward to hearing from you. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.I just used the original, which has some transparency you need to get rid of to reuse it properly.

I would say if you give it enough time every single car/track from every single game will eventually be converted.Stumbled across this thread as after I've played the console version of AC, I'd love to get the PC version of it someday, and I would just like to ask:
Knowing how it is theoretically possible to make AC the largest racing game ever in terms of sheer content, is it ever possible to like say, mod it with every car and track from the entirety of Gran Turismo and Forza?
Like at least GT4, GT7, FM4, FM2023 and FH5 combined would suffice.
You need the NVidia texture exporter tool.No, those 8k textures were not bc7. I remember reading here from Alguecool that bc7 is supported but there may be bugs with it. Im using gimp and its not offering bc7 export out of the box, maybe need some plugin. Thanks for input.
Not to defend The Race Project, but you're criticizing and criticizing someone else's work, which, no matter how much you disagree with it, deserves respect. If you're more capable of taking a mod that was originally disastrous in every way (ACFL) and redoing it perfectly and flawlessly, why don't you do it and share it with the community? It would be fantastic instead of criticizing and slamming it. This isn't a polemic, but a suggestion. Because in the meantime, I assume you contributed to their Patreon to get it, or if you didn't get it from other sources.#JusticeForTheSuperAguriSA06
Twice it has been omitted but do not fret as it has found its way to AC !

I repeat, yours isn't constructive criticism at all. It's just a slam of other people's work, whether you agree with it or not. As you said, it's work from 15 years ago that needs to be updated to reflect current reality. There's work behind it that definitely takes time. Some people give it away, and some don't, just like you, you can decide whether or not to pay for a job. But again, don't badmouth if you don't do better than the person you're judging. This is my opinion. Have a good evening.CTDP's work deserves respect. And no, I didn't get it from Patreon, I'm not one to pay for stuff that was made for free 15 years ago
You know what bugs me ? Hiding that behind a Patreon. That's the thing that sucks the most. Slapping 8k textures and adding useless animations does not deserve to be paid for lmao. And their skin pack ? More than half the skins are the original 2k ones that were free, ****ing lol
And some redone 8k skins were just repainted over the original so you have one part of the skin with AO applied (original) and the 'new' painted part is just plain, come on, at least try
Do you have a link to the version of the car you used? Mine is absolutely ****ed for some reason....Hyundai 24hr Nords Fantasy
just for fun to install: drag and drop or install manually 4k only with AO only you need this to be able to use my skin: https://mega.nz/file/YSN1yTiK#6YTz14bPflG99_p4I3Aa8SvrP29J5z_fdUMELrmN1Qkwww.gtplanet.net

Try the pure ppfilter with all default settings in Pure Config and Pure PP app. Would be interesting if it looks ok then.
Also this is Pure LCS 2.60.
There was a big change with Pure LCS 2.35 and the skydomes.
Oh, I see that, scary and really stupid.I'm in the process of de-RaceProjecting whatever the hell they did lol

And guess what ? They look absolutely the same when you race lmao. Plastering 4 and 8k on a 2006 mod won't suddenly make it look better than a newish one.
And also using Kunos physics ? Tsss tsss.
(also, duplicate car for obvs reasons)
Well it tamed the back-end, I regularly spin out under power in VRDriving GT2 on corner exit or out of chicanes but did like the AI GT2 very much initially in my YT review. Front-end feedback seems very similar feeling (I am using Lenoob's Alternative FFB: Extended 1.6 CSP script on Simucube 20Nm Mige) lets me know of understeer and if I get over-steer on turn-in through carrying just bit too much speed, typical Porsche on the power to straighten it up on exit and save the corner. Can't but help feel maybe it goes too well...insofar as grip levels - but only ever so slightly. Appreciate your work - I signed up to VRDr AI initially, but come to realise something not quite right, more hype than reality I think - or the whole tech spec into AI just not achieving what is set out. Some better than others. Am a fan of Arch's physics, but most are on slippery stock OEM road tyres only.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.
You want constructive criticism ? I think I already shared the pictures of the humongous KN5 with uncompressed textures that definitely don't fit with Kunos' pipeline. Or the shoddily painted 8k skins over upscaled 2K files... Or the carbon fiber texture that somehow is an 85mb file... Or the original CTDP skins tucked away in a skinpack that isn't free... Can I go on ?I repeat, yours isn't constructive criticism at all. It's just a slam of other people's work, whether you agree with it or not.

Unpack KN5 -> see the big ass textures -> manually rescale with Photoshop -> open 3DSIMED -> copy and pasteOh, I see that, scary and really stupid.
What is the best way to reduce the KN5 file size?
Export everything with Content Manager, reconvert the image files, and then load it back in Showroom mode? Or use 3DSimED?
Any other options?
You are defending thieves, thieves that charge money for stolen work, they are worse than simdream at this stage, and their cars arent even done that well. I paid for a one month subscription last year and was not happy with the ridiculous skin sizes, average physics, out of proportion models, and then i learnt they were just using other people's mods, updating them to how they like them, and then charging people... and yes, you can find their files on kemono and reddit, not worth giving them 1 cent for their crooked "work".Not to defend The Race Project, but you're criticizing and criticizing someone else's work, which, no matter how much you disagree with it, deserves respect.

You're so clueless you don’t even understand the basic concept of having a Patreon. No one’s begging for money to feed four kids and a dying wife, it’s there to progressively support a project that's constantly evolving. I'm not reselling a lazy conversion without permission from the authors or something made 15 years ago, some people like to give away their time for free because that's how they think is worth, others simply don't, those skins are just extras and yeah they still can be downloaded from other sites I just organize it into each skin which obvs takes time. This is ongoing work that will eventually lead to rebuilding every car from scratch. There is a big difference in sdd making conversion without permission and just having whatever they did placed in a marketplace withtout updating a single thing, the mods made from me are with all proper permissions from the authors *if they are reachable, and I have every screenshot of the conversations with each one of them.#JusticeForTheSuperAguriSA06

And since you say the original mod deserves respect, well, that’s exactly what I’m doing by preserving CTDP/ACFL’s work and improving on it. So instead of coming in this toxic platform to criticize others people work just by the sake of it or trying to “de-raceproject” the cars, why don’t you actually go ahead and improve the ACFL version from scratch yourself? would be very cool to see that.
Oh I'm doing it alright.

Version 7.0 coming next with more animations no one cares about and 12k textures ?
Agree 100% would be awesome to see your version mate.The whole drama annoys me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much you guys have no idea.
I have enough about the whole discourse about the 2006 season mod, the whole patreon thing is endless discussion I find everywhere I go. Ever since ACFL took it that cursed season had drama between ACFL vs MSF, now it's the race project and the patreon. Yet in between nobody, NOBODY ever decided to pick up the work and redo it. Moore is right in a sense that ever since 2017, for more than 7 YEARS all we have seen is people saying "the 2006 mod is garbage" without any concrete effort to change the situation.
I'll make a 2006 CTDP full reconversion.
