Guys can you Tell me please - is the CPU or GPU More responsible for SOLs 3D clouds?

Yesterday i tried the SKY ppfilter SOL Version which comes with a SOL preset which includes 3d clouds.

Earlier i used 2d clouds.

Now with the Filter and his Settings the Game looks brilliant but my FPS are lierally killed!

I lost about 30 fps or more….

At some points only 45fps with a rtx3080 is wild (noVR)

3d clouds are realy heavy, esp. in Sol. Sol has a not so good code base. But you can switch back to 2d clouds. Just set "clouds render method" in Sol Config app ingame.

Maybe try to change the lumirank to a different one, like 24hrs or WEC style? What happens then? Is that the 2019 crsh 911 GT3 R?
Click to expand...
that's correct, crsh 911. but this happens with other cars with lumirank. 24h is already set.
would you be so kind to tell me, do you have the same picture or you have properly lit lumirank?

Yeah but do i only loose the "clouds look" or do i loose some better overall lightning caused by the 3D clouds :confused:

Thanks for the reply @Short_Circut ,

I always edit the suspensions.ini directly, making changes to the numbers, and watching the effect it has on the car in the showroom display. I normally only play with the wheelbase and CG locations. I've never touched the graphic offsets, frankly I've never had to. I'll give that a try.

Thanks again.

yeah, wheelbase will move the wheels longitudinally (bringing front/rear close together or farther apart).

moving the wheel on x-axis either by adjusting track or by graphics offset

also keep in mind the showroom positioning is not always the same as in game (for instance, you can bork the tie rod and in showroom it may look fine but in game the wheels will likely collapse)

Amazing work. Thanks !
Is it possible to have silver rims?

Oh, very helpful, thanks a lot for helping out!
What was wrong (asking to increase my learning curve)?
:bowdown:
Click to expand...
The AIs gears were wrong the UP value was higher than the cars RPM range.

For example - If you look into the cars engine.ini file in the data folder and see under [ENGINE_DATA] LIMTER=5900, but the AIs gears are higher in the ai.ini under [GEARS] and say the RPM is UP=6900 the car won't move because the AI wants to shift at 6900 RPM, not at 5900.

Make sure to lower the RPMs than the limiter, otherwise the AI is just going to keep shifting at the limit and you can hear it keep bouncing off the wall and making an annoying sound every time it shifts. So make sure to lower the RPM range of the AI when that happens. Personally I would put somewhere like 5800 or 5750, it depends on the car sometimes. I had to do the same thing with the Ford GT GT1 and now the AIs moving, although it's making that annoying wall bang sound like I said, so yeah.

- Hope this don't sound too confusing...
 
Does anyone know how this works?

Well, it didn't work - but I had fun discovering a new set of variables to play with. It turned out the doner car I'd started with was borked. I started over from scratch, and all is fine now. Thanks again for your help :)

I have an 11 year old PC at the moment (and it wasn't even top of the line then) and for me, 3d clouds or 2d clouds barely makes a difference in performance at all. Certainly shouldn't cost 30 fps! The difference between different filters is also tiny. Maybe 1-4 fps between the ones said to be lighter (like Natural) and those said to be heavy hitters (like Exquisite). Now, no filter vs filter makes a very noticeable difference. But the choice of filter? Pretty much a matter of preference on my PC.

For this to kill your fps this way, I suspect the culprit aren't settings that have to do with SOL or the filter. SKY comes with a preset for CM and CSP which crank up details! ExtraFX, etc. If you used those, they're probably what destroyed your fps. Not SOL, not the filter. I would check there first.

If you scroll down on the various CSP plug-in pages, there's a Reset button that appears if changes have been made. It gives you back default settings. You may want to start with that, see if things improve. Then go through it yourself and crank up details as you see fit. Good luck!

I have to disagree a bit. I am familiar with CSP stuff and have running almost everything on within extra.fx and other stuff. I had already good results with a RTX 2070s and the RTX 3080 even made things obviously much better. However my CPU is already 4y old (Ryzen 2700x) and is bottelnecking for sure. But its ok for me running stuff at 90fps even i could run it much higher with a modern cpu.

I have tried various filters, csp configs and other stuff but never experience those performance hit like with the SKY filter including SOL.ini

Now i solved it and can live with the results. Switched back to 2d clouds and reduced SOLs rendering distance and rendering quality to 150% (config came with 195% each). If you belive me or not, just these 3 options brought back about 25fps.

PS: Another question at this point: Is CSP motion blur also "expensive" ?

Anyone here know anything about doing VAO patches? I think I may have been naming some things incorrectly.

Does the vao patch get named after the track .kn5 file name or the track's folder name? And should the track folder name match the main track .kn5 file name?
 
I have a question regarding the track lighting along the tri-oval on Reboot Team's Daytona Road Course. Is it just my setup or is it really dark along that section of track during the night hours. I was watching some videos of past Rolex 24 and that tri-oval, pit area is pretty well lit up at night and was wondering if its the track or my configuration that makes it so dark?

it's dark because as far as i remember there's no light, but the level of darkness is also due to the ppfilter you use (and/or) (if present in the config) the LIGHT POLLUTION settings

you can have if done on the .kn5

trackname.vao-patch

or if done on the models.ini

models.vao-patch

This is the 'darkest' part I could find.
I do remember we sometimes had issues with track lighting in the test phase, but now it should be clear enough to even drive without lights (as in my picture).
NIght, with SOL few clouds and sol_extra filter.
Must be some setting since your sky is also very dark.

That's a remarkable difference. I'll try those settings, Thanks. :gtpflag:

@Fanapryde , that's much better now. The lighting around the track is more realistic. I can live with this.

Wondering if someone can try something for me. Maybe I missed an ai update along the way for VIR (and if I did, please let me know where to get it), but the ai has always had issues with the start of the downhill S turns after the long back straightaway. Most of the time, half the field just drives off over the hill. I made this ai_hints file that seems to be working good and wanted someone else to try it.

If you find the ai slows down too much heading into that turn, raise the VALUE number up in .05 increments and let me know when you start to see them going over the hill again. For me, it started to happen again somewhere around .70 to .75 depending on the class of cars I was racing.

Just plop this file into the Full Course 'data' folder. Thanks for any help...

Porsche 924 GTP-LM - Historical Liveries

View attachment 1223239

The above historical liveries have now been finalised (near-perfect-not) and will be included with a car-mod update-release by @RMi_wood in due course (further mod work is currently in the works).

Further livery-work (fictional + more historical) is to continue and be distributed individually via sharemods-com - thanks for watching...

Next WIP - Martini #80

View attachment 1223254

Gonna catch up on some mod update installations and race abit or a hectic while... All work and no-play is total nonsense - happy racing!

Thought to provide the community with an update of the 'Martini Livery' thus far... A GIF file has been created that demonstrates some of the working-steps or a visual workflow of the undertaking of such works... And the time and effort that it really takes to come up with something that looks appealing/attractive on a circuit map.

The workflow (as it looks) may seem simple enough, but at times, it too can be tedious and fidgety as it may require lots of 'nips & tucks' before a final rendition is attained.

Basically, at first there's a bit of a conceptual design process (mind mapping/boggling), followed by a design-on-canvas process/attempt (data-gathering included), followed by a review process, initially in CM showroom & then on track, followed by many nip-& tuck adjustments (the tedious part of work to no-end), with finally arriving at an acceptable visual product.

This particular livery took approx. #87 different slides within the image-editing app and taking about 4-5 hours of labour to complete - hope you enjoy the show...

The render distance and render quality is only for the 3d clouds. They define how much clouds are generated and how big the distance is, they will be generated and calcualted.
For 2d clouds there is always a fixed number which will be generated, dependent on the selected weather.
But also this mode will cost you fps, because it must handle many cloud textures.
To save the most fps, it would be the best to only have one big 360° texture. Like in Pure's skydomes. This will cost the GPU nearly no calculation time and only some VRAM. Esp. with the skydomes in Pure, which are using BC7 packed textures, its possible to unload unused textures in no time. So it only takes 128MB in total to have photorealistic skies, with nearly no fps loss.

I believe point 6 is him telling you to manually set the key-bindings, as listed, to allow for "while-driving" adjustments?

Mmm but don't seem to be any visual notification of what you are changing when you change it, or Am I wrong?
