Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[CrisT86]

So I gave Aviano Circuit a spin tonight for the first time - my "one weird thing to drive" before I put everything away for the night.

It's a fun little circuit - with almost exclusively high speeds and a bumpy road mesh. I enjoy the bumps! Makes the driving more visceral, especially in an excellent FFB car (like the RSS Honda NSX).

I brought this up because it's a prime example of something that's bugged/puzzled me for the better part of a decade - distant terrain textures. Even with the "16K Terrain" skin on (I have the GTP rework and ClimaxF1's skin), Aviano is a pretty stark example of my issue. See the picture:

The far away stuff looks great! But the close up texture looks terrible - and it's very easy to see from the cockpit throughout Sector 1. It's almost distracting how N64 it looks.

How would one go about fixing this? It's little things like these that I'd love to fix myself if possible.



Also, the AI needs work - it's safe, but it's about 2 seconds a lap slow at decent GT3 pace. I'd love to do it up, but as of right now I'm holding off on AI work until CSP fixes yet another problem (this time, AI cars slowing in the middle of the straight at Magnificent Park for no reason on 0.2.12...). I'll clean install the next version and hopefully that fixes it.


Cheers for anyone who may know about the terrain textures.

The terrain texture, can't be extremely detailed (as far as i know there's no resources where you can download highres images of the terrain from satellite, all of them are taken from distance, so the details are quite low). The only solution is to extend the green grass meshes and try to blend them with the darker texture as far as possible, but it requires a 3D rework.

EDIT: but since it's a fictional circuit, it's possible to grab texture from wherever we want, so maybe there's some sources (as far as i know there are website that allow to download highres satellite images but i don't know if they ask money or not and how close to terrain are).

RACEDEPARTMENT / overbaked is obscene with its adverts, almost unbearable, and yes i have ad blocker but cant use it on there amongst other sites also. Right royal pain in the ass.

The XIAOMI adboard isn't a specific 24h sponsor.. it's the permanent replacement of the Yokohama board.

Solved in version 1.1!

 

[ninezeroniner]

@timetoo22 Really? I love Nordschleife! Trying to beat my personal best with different cars is an awesome challenge. Driving multiple laps within a few tenths of each other and yet knowing you just blew it on the last corner going a little too deep. I had over 33000km on it before I upgraded to a new computer and new M2 drive, so I get the feeling, loosing all my statistics. Again, this is why AC is so popular, it can be so many different things to everyone.

Thanx for the report.
Flat tracks are one of many AC zombie viruses, it must not spread.

Another track is almost finished, this one also very old and in great need of restyling, who are they? 😊

I know it's almost impossible to get everyone to agree, but if there's a track that needs updating or giving a little life to, that everyone likes, I'm open to suggestions..

Here are my two suggestions, I found both years ago and they could do with some much needed love.

This is just a "data" file and tyre skin for STFWFL (FSR) Volvo 850 estate BTCC

no file structure it will need to be manually installed (make a copy of the data file incase you dont like what i have done for whatever reason)

what i have done:

changed it to FWD it was never RWD

made slight adjustments to the suspension so the rear tyres don't clip through the wheel arch

put the correct dunlop tyre side walls on

Lol yeah I forgot to edit the FSR car on that side lol

 

[BarneyA]

Help needed please

Big ask I know, but on the off chance of someone knowing....

I have a new PC and wanted to start afresh with AC with mods etc. I thought I would remember all my favourites, but no, I was wrong.

There is a track that I would love to find again, I'll try and describe it

It is based in Britain, it is roughly I would say 4-5 miles long, based on country roads, clockwise lap. It's a little like High Force but much smaller. Winding country roads, open fields, pubs, tight parts with hedges both sides, and a really long straight

If anyone has some tracks similar to this, please throw some names below and I'll hopefully find this little gem again

Thanks in advance

yorkshire moors maybe?

Cheers for anyone who may know about the terrain textures.

My 16k terrain skin did improve things but the problem is that one texture is mapped over a very large area, so even a very detailed texture will lose resolution close to the track.
I'm sure it'd be a relatively simple job for a qualified somebody to remap the terrain into more manageable bitesize pieces.
Failing that, planting more trees in the near distance would probably mask the worst of it.
Aviano is a great little circuit. Glad you finally found it after all these years.

 

[Aldo Raine]

@X90
I'd like to test this by modifying the texture with a shade of green that allows me to cover a large part of the mountain with Grass FX. The only drawback, I think, is the grass's lod; at such a great distance, it might be useless and not even visible.
I'll give it a try anyway.




Since Aviano Circuit is back in fashion, I made some small adjustments to the vegetation tone and asphalt color, and slightly modified the grass.
(For beginners, just replace the config.ext file in the circuit's Extension folder.)

[Jeroen V]

I (Edit: SAW) no visor in external views.

Checked on my AC/CM/CSP installation....and (Me such a dumb @ss) concluded I forgot to reinstall CSP after reinstalling AC (Fresh /latest WIN10 x64)... All fixed now!

However, CSP v0.2.11 and -12 still makes the visor disappear in external viewing for some reason without me altering anything. v0.2.10 does not, so I'll stick with that one. AC is so much fun. Have a good day you all.

 

[Ken134]

I've served my time there but I'm no Nordschleife expert, so a genuine question: what is it that makes this ACC conversion so much better than the native AC version?
I just did a couple of laps and noticed lots of trackside trees with borked normals, and lots of trackside trees floating above the grass.
You might want to hold onto the AC version for a little while longer until Fenryr does some replanting.

Also noticed that the TV replay cams don’t seam to work at least on the GP track. Not tested others yet. Not tried new version yet.

 

[Aldo Raine]

@Masscot (or anyone who can help)
I extracted the Aviano map texture with kn5conv.exe and modified it. Now how do I repackage everything into .kn5?
Thanks

EDIT: I managed to do it, unfortunately the problem is the grass's LOD, even though in CSP I set it to maximum and the grass covers the background, just move away a little and it disappears.

 

[maximeerkat]

final ? we don't capitalize folder names, which creates problems with data backup, always noted 0.5 in ui_car.json, no COCKPIT_HR, no LODs, it was not clean, backup files, several data folders, etc ....

lol, are you thick? MY SKIN is my final product the car is not hence why it says "BE_MODDING 0.5" in the "author" section.

if you bothered to read the write up the only reason i gave the car away in the first place is because every other version was undrivable

if you want to cry about some folders cry to BE_MODDING not me

i guess a simple right click/delete is to much for you?

[kelnor34]

Yeah maybe, I've just never really driven it at all properly, possibly as i don't really race in AC since for ages, i just mod stuff, the idea of taking a car around there is never going to happen and never feel like I'm missing anything. Its not just virtual either, never understood the obsession with the place, and i have a mate who totalled his car there and had to do a runner owing the track about 8k.
Never crash at the Nurb in real life.... they dont really explain the costs....

Having said all of that I could never understand drifting but now I'm full on obsessed with it.

The one type of mod i never did, now i'm making a bunch like this E30.

Calm down EASY we know you're frothing at the mouth when it comes to add COCKPIT_HR, modify the ui_car, add new LODs,
fix colliders.ini, fix collider.kn5, add main_geometry.vao-patch, data to data.acd (lol)

I haven't seen this shared on here so I wanted to share. Legion apparently came out with a new Formula Vee based on the Formula Brazil Naja FD01-D platform. Was able to catch this when browsing Vini2019's skin packs on OT. Looks pretty slick! Havent tried it yet but figure you guys might want to.

version 1.1 but the cones are still there.
Layout: Nürburgring Nordschleife Sprint No Arena.

View attachment 1467379

Inside nordschleife_sprint_no_arena layout (and also nordschleife_sprint_arena which has the same issue) create an extension folder, create an ext_config.ini and insert the following lines
;;; hide cones
[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
IS_ACTIVE = 1
MESHES = AC_POBJECT.018, AC_POBJECT.019, AC_POBJECT.020, AC_POBJECT.017
IS_RENDERABLE = 0

or extract the files from the ZIP file to content/tracks.
Inside there are also some AI lines fixed (some layouts have messed up sidelines and other wrong AI lines)

Hello. I need help with rain.

When I choose any rainy weather, everything changes correctly (including the sound of rain), except the rain itself. No rain falling in any view, no drops anywhere, no wind-shield wipers turning on.

I know that rain worked correctly at some point, several months ago. I don't know what changed since then.

Here is what it looks like. This is the standard Kunos Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, on the standard Kunos Magione track.
CSP and Pure LCS are correctly installed and up to date.
I deleted CSP's settings, and nothing changed.

Does anyone know this problem, and is there a solution other than to wipe everything and start afresh ? Thanks in advance.

You always need a CSP preview version! It is linked under the "Rain Disclaimer" in the Pure development update posts!

If you have a preview version of CSP, better install it manually:
Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder.
Open the CSP preview zip file and EXTRACT the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

You currently have a CSP public version installed which has no rainFX. The rain sound comes from Pure...

Boy, do I feel silly. I guess I used a CSP preview version in the past, and then I 'updated' to a regular one, not knowing (or I forgot) that rain was dependant on those particular CSP versions.

Thank you very much for the help, and sorry for the stupid question.

@Peter Boese
Hi Peter, a question: is it possible to independently adjust the cloud contrast?
I'd like to see the sky more clearly with the "overcast clouds" weather setting, but if I increase the contrast in Pure Config, I end up with "Broken Clouds" and "Windy" weather with black clouds. Is that possible?

Another question: the "mountains shader" is a very useful addition, but it only works with LCS.
I prefer GAMMA, which I find "softer" ,can it be used by importing the lines of code?

Thanks a lot.

Overcast is actually meant to be very soft and white. All those weather types in Pure are made to have a difference between them.
You can still just use other weather types and set the weather data parameters to what you like. Thats the real meaning behind those things in Pure Planner.

So the weather type are like weather look types and they must not represent a certain weather behaviour.

An the mountain shader is only needed in LCS, because the sky fog is much lower there. In Pure Gamma the skyfog is very present with low fog values.

 

[Fall Guy]

Do you guys know how to change the name of the track without interfering the variant name? I don´t want to have the Nürburgring named like this as it is shown here, but re-naming it to just "Nürburgring" also re-names the chosen variant.
