My renamed version with extras baked in plus remaining 2022 F1 tracks here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bshEhqxZN0HTbyyOD8V8CA8ABO2l3Y1b?usp=sharing

Hi Cozy, thanks for sharing this!

a small question, this features a text file w massive list of tracks w links, one of them being
"Spa World free roam track by acp https://www.mediafire.com/file/08mr8hvoxy1uloo/acp_world.rar/file"

but unfortunately the link is dead, and I can't find any other mention on the internet about an Assetto Spa World freeroam...
Anyone can post a link here pls?

Would anyone be upset if they had to download another Mugello update. Finally figured out a way to replace the Alpine Allstars adverts on this wall. Took awhile to figure this one out because it had a strange texture mapping. That's why the far right Rolex logo looks wider than the others. If I kept them the same width, you get bleed through of half a logo on one end.

I wouldn't be a bit upset.

I wouldn't be a bit upset.

OK, do that real soon.

Also, I posted my final(?) Bremgarten mod over at RD for anyone interested

Bremgarten Mod

 

[racinjoe013]

For those asking about Mugello's grass, I did a real quick ext_config for the track if you want to try it. I used graveltrap's fixes for the grass spawning and made a few other adjustments. Here's what will happen.

The grass will get a little greener in the summer and slightly darker. It will also be a little higher when trimmed but won't get as high when fully grown in. Also, the fall trees won't be as vibrant. There is also two included cm skins that aren't really required, but I had done them before and figured I would include them. One removes the purple groove line and skid marks and makes them black (they probably should be darker) and the other adds a tiny bit of negative exposure offset to the tree and grass textures. I might try and replace some of the billboards and flags unless someone knows of a track skin that has that done already. Would appreciate a link.

Mugello ext_config

Suggestions for improvements are always welcome.

Link updated with the new wall ads. I also lightened up the groove textures a tad. If you prefer the darker version from the last update, delete the two groove textures from the Grooves skin folder and remove the _darker part of the other two file names.

 

[OooAhh Cantona]

See if it works, deleting the 'blurred.ini' file, inside 'Data' folder.

That worked. But now I’m wondering about the effect of not having this blurred.ini file. I watched the replay, and the wheel is missing the visual effects intended with blur.

they load up fine for me ... ( have CSP isntalled? 0.1.78 preview 1 i'm on)

I’m on csp 0.1.75

 

[taklex]

Seeing as we're tackling tyre textures... Does anyone else have this issue where the Formula RSS 1979 doesn't load Goodyear or Michelin tyres for the real 1979 skins?

I'm on CSP 0.1.78 preview and all other RSS Formula cars load custom tyre textures included with the skins excepting for the 79 and the 2017 hybrid. For what it's worth, loading up the 1979 in CM showroom does show the correct Michelin or Goodyear text on the tyres. It's only in-game that they don't show up.

Hi all, could someone help me ? I have a problem : when i load the x series cars from Assetto Corsa Racer i have this message : AC\kgltexture.cpp (40): KGLTexture::KGLTexture and the game crash ? Any idea for solve this ? PLEASE.

Now you can answer your own question on their FB page and they will hopefully fix the skin.

Different topic: I changed the driver model of the Formula 1600 to the no HANS version after watching some videos on YT. I also copied the shifting animation and corresponding steer.ksanim from SD's f1_1976_march to the mod and re-positioned and slightly resized the driver. Only problem is that the shifting arm pokes through the side of the chassis, but given that a lot of (even paid) mods have the same problem I'm fine with that for the time being - unless somebody has better shifting & steering animations to share...? Attaching the file in case somebody wants to try it (hope I got the correct files included).

Btw. thanks @_Bazza_ for updating this thing, I'm really enjoying racing the AI on Jeddah at night - only missing the occasional complaints about somebody crossing the line at the pit entry...

I believe there is an extension that is calling for specific tire texture whis is affecting what tires are being shown.

 

[Alguecool]

pay for a GTR2 conversion?

"Scratch made by Sergio Loro"
It is written as it in the track readme txt file. Maybe he is lying, maybe not, even so we do have reasons to judge it as it is. And it is good at least for me, for anyone who wants to know

 

[Rodger Davies]

I have a bookmark saved to his website, but always forget to check out his tracks. For someone who has none of them, what would be your top two or three I should give a try first. I don't care if they are the paid or free ones he offers. I'll do either. Anything kind of long like Fat-Alfie's Fonteny or Feldberg would be preferred.

They're all consistently good, but each release is better than the last usually. You can get an idea of the quality with the excellent free Watkins Glen, but they're not FatAlfie tracks (heck, neither are the Kunos ones!)

Norisring is a personal favourite, although the AI struggle, as are the classic Rouen, Zandvoort and Sudschleife trio.

I'm really hoping he has Reims tucked away somewhere on his 'to do' list. The man is a true gentleman too by the way, very friendly.

Regarding RT Sebring Bumps (physical track mesh)

I just wanted to post this as I thought it might be a interesting discussion point.

I have been having a interesting discussion today about RT Sebring being 20% too bumpy..it's is claimed by a well known scratch track maker that the original source material (the s397 laser scan data untouched in the conversion) when compared to the lidar (presumably) data is approx 20% higher in elevation.

I'm super interested in all your opinions on this...why would s397 tamper with what must have been a fairly expensive and expansive in accuracy laser scan data set?.. would this not undermine the superior physics engine claims for rfactor2. Do they do this with other laser scanned tracks?

Also on a side note I remember driving the conversion of Nord's from AC to rfactor2 and not thinking it felt underwelmingly bumpy.

Lastly what are your gut feelings on how rtsebring currently feels...to me imo..and comparing footage from real life on board cams..I'd say it's about right

Also last side note.. surely a professional locally scanned data set would represent a better feeling of the surface intracasies than lidar data ever could, regardless of the claimed 20% increase

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this

Jim

 

[racinjoe013]

I think @racinjoe013's grassFX tweaks might improve the look of these tracks even more, so I hope he gets into them!

While I appreciate the sentiment, I only tried Sandevoerde so far and I didn't see anything wrong with the grass effects. What is wrong with them so I know what i'm trying to fix for you? Maybe once I get to the other two tracks it will become obvious, but right now i'm having a blast on Sandevoerde.

I went ahead and bought all 3 of the recommended tracks. I know two of them were free, but I paid $5 for each. I can't imagine the time he must have spent on them so it seemed rude to just download them for free.

 

[taklex]

I do believe that's how they work, but I think the files in the skin folders are usually prioritised over the "stock" code in the ext_config. I'm saying this since the ext_config references only one set of files, while some skins from the same set display Michelin tyres, while others come with Goodyears (so, two versions without different code in the ext_config).

I installed many sets of IRL skins for Formula RSS cars and they were always just folders containing skins. I don't remember any of them containing alternate ext_config files. I never had to mess with any files to make the Hybrids display Pirelli tyre text, for example. I'm hoping someone else has had this issue before and that maybe someone has a solution.

It’s nothing specific - I haven’t driven Sergio’s tracks for a while. I have appreciating your enhancements to a variety of circuits. I guess it was more your seasonal adjustments I was thinking of rather than grassFX

That I can do. I didn't try changing the seasons yet so I was unaware they didn't have them.

Why not making 2 road meshes/layout/whatever of the track, one more "accuratly bumpy" than the other maybe, but who cares, because everyone would be happy with his version anyway ? It is because of an online purpose ? (I dunno, really)

If I would give my opinion on the track, the bumps feels right because even if it is bumpy, they still feels like bumps! you know, not holes and gaps and alignment error on the road like for (a lot!) of "bumps" in tracks. If it "feels" bumpy, well, deal with it. I just want it to feel like good bumps, that's all.

Maybe someone can reach an actual racing driver opinion, who's used to race there ?

I think it's quite spot on.
Looking at how much cars jump and bounce in real life, I think the replays in AC convey pretty much the same immersion.
Personally I like it a lot.

EDIT:
I've got a Simucube 2 Sport DD, so the bumps feel really great. Though I imagine with a Logitech wheel it might feel overly aggressive.

Keep it as it is. The track is known for its bumps and - unpopular opinion here - the track would be pretty boring without the added challenge that they give.
Asking whether the bumps are accurate is a moot point in a sim where a lot of mods don't have accurate behaviour in the suspension.

 

[mfods]

just to share with the forum another incredible track conversion made by CHiQuiFReaKy:

Melbourne 2019 (released nov.2021)



definitely the best melbourne track for assetto ATM and luckily this is already very good optimized.
Hope @Pyyer could use this for his upcoming works!

I just checked my Formula 79 and I show "Goodyear" in the showroom and "Good Times" on track. So I see the same thing you do.

My uneducated, total lack of knowledge opinion. I wouldn't know if the bumps on RT_Sebring are accurate or not. I've never driven it. All I know is I like it. The track feels more alive and the bumps add an additional challenge when I drive it compared to most so I hope it doesn't change.

 

[ninezeroniner]

I too watch sebring races and think the RT version feels quite appropriate. And bumps feel better than mere speculation.

I just checked my Formula 79 and I show "Goodyear" in the showroom and "Good Times" on track. So I see the same thing you do.

The only tyres model mod that works is the one with the car extension. The extension takes care of just one make of tyres at time.
If you really-really-really want a grid to use both tyres (as it was back then) I suggest you guys to try to clone the car.
Me, I've decided that I can live with one tyres make for the whole grid.

I'm not entirely sure the laser scanned tracks are fully accurate in any case. My best bet would be this has to do with their physics engine. Driving the track in rFactor 2 it feels smoother than it does in Assetto, in my personal opinion. I definitely believe this 20% increase is accurate, but we can only speculate to the exact cause though

They (s397) also laser scanned the rebuilt version of Zandvoort. The version of that track we've currently got in Assetto is the non-scanned v1 version of that track. I've been working on updating that with the V2 laser-scanned mesh. I've also got a lot of input from a pro-driver and apparently they're saying the mesh elevation of that track is off in various places as well (most notably T8). We've made some changes to the point where it should be 1:1 with the real life data, but sadly I think getting that track put together is going to be a little too much to do myself

here is the message about the rfactor 2 track. I cut out who the message was from but it is from a very in the know track modder who arguably has made some of the best scratch made tracks for AC. I have also seen JPG from IER say it was not accurate.

I do believe that's how they work, but I think the files in the skin folders are usually prioritised over the "stock" code in the ext_config. I'm saying this since the ext_config references only one set of files, while some skins from the same set display Michelin tyres, while others come with Goodyears (so, two versions without different code in the ext_config).

I never had to mess with any files to make the Hybrids display Pirelli tyre text, for example. I'm hoping someone else has had this issue before and that maybe someone has a solution.

an extension will over write the textures in the skin folder. This extension will make your tire textures in the skin folder work. If you have some skins working with the tire textures already, it means the skin folder has a ext_config file that is overridding the car ext_config file.

It's not about having only one brand of tyres, but about the car loading in with tyres displaying RSS's fictional tyre brand (Good Day) instead of Goodyear/Michelin on skins which should be paired with the real-life tyre text, as seen in screenshots of the liveries on RD, their previews and the CM workshop.

Thank you! None of them were showing in-game, but your ext_config made everything work the way it should. All the Michelin and the Goodyear cars have the right tyres on now and my '79 solo championship is saved!

Try this. I renamed some of the tires in the ext_config.ini file to the names used in the car folders. I see all the different tires on the track now. Please back up your original and try this.
