So long and thanks for all the fish

Say it isnt so

 

[Nuttyboy812]

No problem, You do it. But I must warn, that this is common misconception among moders. That's why there is so many ill driven mods. It's never just copy paste work, even if You paste RSS physics, of something. It's easier because You can spare research phase, as it was already done.
Copy paste in this case will be more or less decent only if new model is based on old one and have same meshes names, and same 3d coordinates.

So turns out my physics issues were because after I swapped your stuff over, the base setup was messed up cause it saved values from the previous physics, so I reset the setup to default, and it looks like it just works as intended. I mean, I just let the ai drive a lap in each car to verify, and the times were basically the same, and I didn't notice any odd behavior so, looks like it works. I want to figure out all the inis that don't physics such as lods, lights, etc, so I can copy the newer ones back over since they may have updates on the newer car, I just don't know where I would find a resource explaining that.

So selected files from picture are model specific and correspond with meshes names. Other are physics based and correspond to mesh 3d coordinates.

Hello, guys!
Can someone help me solve that "thing" with the clouds? CSP version 0.3.0-preview445

The old Nürburgring track has a wrong altitude. It is placed 1500m below the sea level!

You can correct this in Pure Config app Track tab. Set an horizon offset.

Hi all. Does anyone know how to fix the doors on the Corvette C6 Coupe by Some1 from race department? https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/corvette-c6.24208/

I asked him about the doors not rendering properly awhile back: His reply - Somewhere along the way, the shaders were ****ed up, probably due to having params not compatible with latest CSP rendering. There's a lot of small mistakes in some older mods we've made, but I won't ruin them for you. Siim is too busy to update the cars anymore, so it is what it is.

Anyone willing to see if they can correct the shaders on the doors? Both doors. It looks ugly in both previews and driving. Thank you.

You should be able to do this yourself by creating an ext_config.ini in a folder called extension, find out what shader (and shader values) are used for the other panels, and then tweak the shader for the doors to match. More info here.

The crude way to inspect shader values is to open the 'Objects Inspector' app in a session, and then alt-click on the panel/object/mesh you want to learn about and read the values there.

Okay cool, those are the ones that I was pretty sure about but it's nice having somebody competent confirm it, thank you!

Actually, looking at the car, the door has the same shader and values as the rest of the bodywork. The difference appears to be that the door has been places inside COCKPIT_HR in the model structure, which I'm guessing creates the difference in rendering. Probably needs fixing in Blender or kseditor, and doesn't look to be fixable via ext_config 🤷‍♂️

I've had this issue with I think Porsche 356 from racedepartment, if I remember well, I've used something like this in ext.config:
[NODE_ADJUSTMENT_...]
IS_ACTIVE = 1
NODES = left door node name, right door node name (check the mesh names in showroom)
MOVE_TO = something like a main body node name (again, check the exact names in showroom)

It's basically the code we use when we want to move something to cockpit_hr, but just the other way around. Hopefully it can help you, the only problem when you do this is that inner parts of the doors will start to reflect the track depending on their shader values

Not really an update for BR1, just want to share SMP and carbon liveries i made. Didn't had as much time as i wanted to work on it in the past two weeks. I'll leave the last 2019 Gulf DragonSpeed livery for later, for now I'll focus only on getting the car into the game. HD images https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCVq13

Man, these renders look amazing, the cockpit, the SMP livery, different aero, everything. I was always bugged that VRC did freaking ByKolles but never this car, which was my favorite among the privateer LMP1s. I thought it was never gonna happen until you showed us the first screenshots a couple months back. Good luck, I hope you get it over the line sometimes in the future

This looks really interesting, the particles don't look or move very good right now but I assume that will be improved over time.

I saw this on overtake.gg, think it looks better than a lot of the default trees without taking the performance hit of 3D trees.

What is double sided fix that actk mentioned? Glass, rear lights?

 

[Perico Lospa]

Looks promising, though (as is often the case with apps that try to be an all-in-one solution) there are still some loose ends...

Yeah, I know nothing about modding or how to use various scripts for CM. I only know how to install, delete, and drive a car. All of the above is way over my head. Thank you all for providing some means to fix, but I may just have to bin the car.

Hi all, i am trying to convert a car for AC, it's a CAR.file i was told to try 3dsimed and expand like in the photo but then i get a message saying too many objects in resource file, is there any other way to convert the CAR.file? using a nother converter? i don't know? any help will be good thanks.

It looks good but it didn't stay for more than a few minutes.
I was seeing regular cpu spikes every second and when I took it to Nords at the top of the hill after Aremberg under the Chinese bridge my 5090 went from 50% to 90% GPU usage.

Instead I decided to get Marbles working better at Nords but hit the 16bit limit in the app that caps the number of piece of rubber.
Undetered I decided to clone 9 versions of the app and have them all run at the same time.
Using the less intensive 3d versions that look absolutley fine at speed I can have 10000 per instance giving a total of 90000 pieces of rubber. Suffice to say 90000 is too many so I tried 4 clones giving 40000 pieces and that looks great.
I have it so that after 3 laps with a field of 20 cars all the pieces are created.
The best bit about it though is I have 4 different sizes and 4 different volume levels.

1 lap

2nd lap

3rd lap

I still need to tinker with the settings a bit to spread them out more but I'm really enjoying playing around with this mod.

Happy racing!

idk

Its the rear window banner which does not show from jk OG version, pretty sure that is what this french geezer means..........however he says it is fixed with a ext_config but it is more than that it is 3d aswell...........

jk fixed this anyway.......

I agree, it definitely still needs some work. It seemed fine on Nords just hotlapping, but I noticed a bit of a performance drop of around 20-30 fps during replays with my 5080. I also think the trees are maybe a bit too dark right now. Disabled it for now, but one to keep an eye on.

3D – Call for modders wishing to take part in a project to upgrade the Anneau du Rhin circuit

We built the Anneau du Rhin circuit from scratch… ten years ago (!!!) with my mates NeelJani and thierrydu81. Back then, the project was carried out with the help, support and involvement of the team from the real circuit!
The circuit’s CEO got back to me recently and told me they were going to resurface the track within the next three years. At the same time, he’s planning to tweak the layout of one of the bends to encourage overtaking during races. He asked me if I’d be up for a new challenge… to help him prepare the future layout of this bend by modifying the virtual circuit, so that they can carry out tests on a PC to assess the outcome in advance.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the skills to fulfil his request; I was only involved in 3D modelling and helped create some textures. I don't know anything about in-game integration; I’ve never used Race Track Builder (I’m still stuck in the ‘Bob’s Track Builder’ era…), nor 3DSimed, and I don’t have much experience with 3DS Max or Blender. My mates have moved on to other things, just like me. What’s more, back then we were working on the game rFactor, not on recent titles such as Assetto Corsa.
So I suggested to him that I put out a call, to see if any modders might be interested in joining this venture.

Broadly speaking, the first step would therefore be to take the existing circuit and work in collaboration with him or with members of his team to tweak a bend. Of course, the modder can then refine the work, correcting whatever can or needs to be corrected on the existing track, before releasing the new version – perhaps to coincide with the launch of the new layout.
So, if any of you (or any of you ladies – though I feel the female presence in our hobby still needs to be developed further…) have the necessary skills and are ready to embark on an interesting adventure combining virtual and real-life creation, I’ll put you in touch with the CEO of this circuit so that we can respond favourably to his proposal.

I would suggest to use the file swap functionality in CM MODs section. As reading some comments it can make AC corrupted. While using this swap tool, you can always switch back.
BTW personally I hate those fast peaks in frame time and prefer a steady/consistent high frame time. Especially in VR this kind of short bursts from Frame time peaks are irritating, so thank you all for the observations, I will pass this mod.
