Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Paintbox]

Where did you find that Matra? I need at least one vintage Matra for my grid.

I think that Matra was never released, it looks terrible porting it to Assetto given the lack of polygons that model has.

However thread on RD shows some great work being done with a scratch made MS650 work in progress

Cars - Matra MS650 Work in Progress

As I have mentioned on one of my previous entries on Special Stage Route 5, I have been doing a project alongside the famous track from Gran Turismo series. Well I am now presenting the project that I have been working on and its the Matra MS650, a famous race car from the 1969 Le Mans...

NEW FRENCH TRACK PROJECTS

Circuit Fay de Bretagne

Circuit de Fontenay le Comte
View attachment 1108631

Anyone interested in making updates and improvements for these 2 new tracks ? These tracks were made by a French modder who no longer has time to work on it.
Please contact me privately
I have all the files to continue developing the tracks (RTB) sorry but I'm not modder ...

thanks for your help

Hi. What about Fontenay le comte track. Have you a copy ? I will be interested because i have a race on Real track and i want it to practice and know the track. Thanks a lot.

Hope Pyyer doesn't get upset, but here is my take on his two F1 mods and the stock track for Imola. Let's be clear, I take no credit for these. These are all Pyyer's work. I just made some changes to make a few things more to my liking.

-- Darkened up the tree textures. There is actually 3 variations on tree brightness. Default is set to medium. You can edit the ext_config and activate the lighter or darker version (ACTIVE = 1). Make sure to deactivate the mid option (ACTIVE = 0).
-- Edited the seasonal adjustments so that fall doesn't come as early and winter is not as long.
-- Edited the lights so that the track state lights show on the indicators (pit lights, lights above S/F line, etc.) Pyyer's had the glow of the lights but for some reason the actual light was not coming on. Could just be my system. Maybe I use a buggy CSP version.
-- Removed the 3D trees because I hate them. Can be turned back on by deactivating (ACTIVE = 0) the option in the ext_config.
-- Small grassfx change to make the grass grow over time. Stupid change I know, but I still included it.
-- Groove skin to get rid of purple tinted groove line and make it dark grey\black.
-- All of his original configs are included in a separate folder to easily revert back to defaults if you prefer. No need to download the mod again.

Imola Update

Original link updated to new version.

-- Corrected some issues with grassfx spawning on road\concrete surfaces just off the main track (the little inlet roads). Not sure how I missed this one considering how many laps I turned testing the last version. Still might see the occasional road with some grassfx if you really go looking.
-- Restored grassfx on some grass materials that did not have them.


BTW, think i'm going for Feldberg next. It's looks cool with a nice fall color update.

Random question from the audience...

Does anyone know if it's possible to specify the three letter driver codes allocated to each skin? Maybe via the ui_skin.json or skin.ini? I suspect it isn't possible but it would be so nice if these could be made to match:

For the record, "DHI" is used here because there are three champion Hills on the grid (Damon, Graham and Phil). Same issue with SCHumacher and SCHeckter and of course Nico and Keke ROSberg.

Porknose Champion of Champions

EVERY F1 World Champion for Pessio's RD1 Porknose. Imagine battling it out with every F1 World Champion at the same time. They're all in their prime and in equal machinery and you’re the wildcard in the most exclusive driver line-up ever...

Thanks for the heads-up. I look forward to a future release, especially if it has a proper screaming Matra sound track.

Which has better performance, sol 2.2.2 or pure 0,78?

It depends on how you define "performance". If you just see the single fps number, then Sol runs a little better in some situations, like noclouds or 2dclouds. But Sol uses a technic, called rare update. So not every frame the world calculation is updated. This gives you more fps, but just the number is higher, because it is always avaraged!!!

The difference to Pure is, Pure calculates the world every frame, but with a much better code, which reduces the memory losses to a minimum. Sol produces a crazy amount of memory losses every world calculation. Its was my former knowledge of LUA coding. But with Pure i fixed ALL that memory leaks and so LUA runs much faster.

So the main difference is, due to Pure updates every frame, you have a much better frame flow, cause every frame time is like equal, which reduces stuttering. Just open the CSP Render Stats and compare Sol and Pure and you will see.

For a simulator with moving content, its much more important, to have a steady frame time, than higher frames per second. Thats one of the cornerstones of Pure, besides its much better lighting and exposure calculation.

So imo, Pure has the better performance, if you have the simulator background in mind. But it misses thunder and lightning for now.

Also with the very soon released Pure 0.93, it has 360° sky textures, which boosts the performance further. Due to this is just a single texture, every weather has the same performance graphic wise.
Pure 0.93 has also a much better integration of the "no post processing" mode. With its new exposure calculation, you have such auto exposure, even with Yebis deactivate. This gives a crazy fps boost and for the most VR users is the key for high native fps with their headsets.

So technically Pure is much more advanced than Sol. All the weather effects form Sol and much more of them, will come if Pure 1.0 is released to the public. After that, i start Sol 3.0, with Pure as a base...

…/... After that, i start Sol 3.0, with Pure as a base...

You lost me there Peter
Reading and hearing that Pure is/will be so much better and will in the end completely replace Sol…

@ClaudioWRC74 would you say the track is worth it ? I'm kind of hesitating...

@ninezeroniner Nice package ! just seeing the forgotten little ATS-V R classified as a "fictional" is a bit sad for her

Test by @gutbomb and I think the same thing

This version of the track has a very rFactor look to it. The track mesh is also not very smooth, so it's very hard to drive an indycar here. The trees are also pretty repetetive. It's not ugly, it's just not refined. Track lights look really weird and have a fake glow texture and aren't actually lights (tried at night, the place was pitch black)

Now this is refined. This version is fantastic. Textures are sharp, trees look great, and the track surface is as bumpy as the real place looks on tv. Definitely download the skin pack from racedepartment to have the proper sponsors and branding since it's a pay track so it had to go with a generic fictional name. This track is easily worth the cash they ask for it.

Hi Peter, does this mean simply turning off post-processing in the video settings when Pure 0.93 arrives? Or do I need to change anything else? Thanks for your superb work as always!

So new CSP preview (which is mandatory for new Pure 0.93 AFAIK) is just around the corner Peter?

A couple of years ago, I was in contact with some French people that almost made the "Le défi des remparts" street circuit,
which appears in one Michel Vaillant book and I used to watch the local annual races there. Angoulême.

So new CSP preview (which is mandatory for new Pure 0.93 AFAIK) is just around the corner Peter?

last one is from Feb 28th.. before it was late december..
if he sticks with the 2 months release cycle than it would be in the coming days...

Unfortunately our Imola config brought up the old bridge which was removed via CSP (and in real life) already (the one after turn 3). Can you fix that?

Yes, just turn off PP in AC video settings. All other things are automatic.

Will I need this version then to run pure 0.93 or the next release?

 

[racinjoe013]

What is the latest CSP preview mandatory for pure 0.93?

I still use CSP 1.77preview1 and Pure works fine. You only need the newer versions if you want to use 2D clouds I believe. Peter can correct me if i'm wrong.

Unfortunately our Imola config brought up the old bridge which was removed via CSP (and in real life) already (the one after turn 3). Can you fix that?

I'll look into it later today, but i'm not sure why that would happen. I didn't touch anything related to the hiding of objects (except the 3D trees). Actually, I don't even recall seeing a bridge in my testing. Were you using the stock track or one of the F1 mods?

EDIT: Are you talking about the structure\bridge just past the tall building after you leave the pits? Other than that one, I don't see a bridge anywhere else on the track.

Is that what deepl.com or google translator translated the German proverb "Wie zum Geier kommt man auf so eine geile Idee" to? Sorry for off topic...

Edit: the deepl.com translation is actually "How the heck do you come up with an idea like that?"

I tried with F1 2022 extension from Pyyer. I also recognized that ext_original.ini was set to active =1 in your ext. Was that by purpose?
