Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

Guys is it already time to bother with Tree Fx ? Or is it not really "far" enough?
It was loud after it came out, but it`s become quiet about it. What is experts opinion?

For myself, 3d trees are not yet ready for primetime...
However I have made some tests using 3d trees to fill in spots (mostly Codemasters tracks) that add to the track without looking bad or perf hit.

BTW, I am talking about 100-200 max trees (not the rediculous 17,000 etc we are currently seeing)

I’m not an expert on this subject, but I would say, put only a few 3D trees near the track and for the rest at a distance the 2D. Same btw can be done with the crowd.

vrc lithium 2023 is out !
also they made mexico eprix track

AC | VRC Lithium 2023 Bundle

DescriptionThis VRC Lithium 2023 Bundle contains 1 car and 1 track made by Virtual Racing Cars LLC:AC | Formula Lithium 2023AC | VRC Mexico Race Track

www.virtual-racing-cars.com

I hope that VRC update their Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez to include the oval layout. While there are no Mexico Series NASCAR mods and Oval Racing is one of AC's weaker points, cars like the RSS Hyperion or even VRC's oval-kit Formula NA's would benefit from more tracks that suit their particular niche.

those new treefx extensions hit me with a %50 fps hit. really not ideal for now as you say 17.000 crazy amount of them.

 

[kakauiyt]

you'd want to focus on the maps for controlling that (which i also think answers your original question.

iirc red channel is a specular mult, green channel is specularEXP mult and blue channel is fresnel mult
View attachment 1250216

^ keeping the diffuse texture the same and varying the map texture

the actual ao itself (i.e., diffuse texture) you should keep as is

got it, thanks for the explanation. now i understand why the AO map of the formula opponent 2013 had red on it, I'll do the same to block the fresnel since there should be no blue component

Is there a skin from the 80's for norisring, or for zolder.

Errr... I'll wait a bit.

Although is a cool idea, Tree Fx is nowadays a FPS killer and, to my taste, the 3D trees look a bit cartoonish when placed in groups; they are not well integrated with each other. I couldn't say if it's because of the shadows, or because of the colors, or... I don't know. In addition, wonders can be done with old trees and vegetation; there are many examples of tracks that take your breath away...

(DISCLAIMER: This is not the opinion of an expert...😗)

 

[GT3Masters97]

🤔 wtf, i corrected the exhaust flames

Unfortunately I can't get the precise frame, but I think the flame comes out only from the upper part of the right exhaust duct (you can even notice it a little from the smoke). Of course that's not a problem, and I admit to being annoyingly accurate LOL. Anyway, nice work

I've made two long posts about this in the past so i'll be short this time:

1.) Look bad.
2.) Lack variety.
3.) Perform bad.
4.) As far as I know, don't react to seasonal changes properly.
5.) Long way to go too be usable.

 

[Kurt Woods]

Just completed my first Ligier skin, the LeMans Cup #30 of Klaus Abbelen and thought I would share it. This is for the FSR version Ligier. Enjoy.

IMHO they could be useful only if you are not able to make trees in 3D software and you want update a track. If not, they are not useful as said by @racinjoe013

 

[bensrac32]

Its been quite long time. I'm having few personal setbacks, not to mention I don't have steering wheel since a year ago, and my activity in modding has decreased a lot. Sorry for anyone waiting my F4 mod. I recently worked on it. I upgraded it with a little touch of modern Eurocup 3 car wings.

Now the steering wheel is based on the one from French F4 (or the iRacing ir04). Also the car has now splitted bodywork pieces (those that are separated by the seam in the chassis). For example the nose is modular, and in the future or if someone want to model his own, it can be changed to other one. The same for the engine pod.

Obviously it's still in WIP. But it's taking his shape

I don't know when I can finish this. Could be this month, the next one, later this year, next year or maybe never. Or maybe in summer I start a new model car because I don't like the mess with this UV map and I can't retrieve the progress on this one. Neither I don't know what quality is gonna be. Reminder to those that despite getting free things they just trash talk about them ungratefuly ^^. Feedback is always welcome in the good way.

Thanks very much for these updates!
In the SF-R the baffle at the base of the windscreen (from the cockpit view) reflects the road, so flashes all sorts of colours depending what you are driving over. Be good if this was fixed as it can be quite distracting in VR.
In the BMW the super-reflective carbon door linings in the cockpit also reflect the road outside. Need moving to cockpit HR maybe? Or the reflectance of the CF reducing? Try driving through gravel, it's like the cockpit is full of the stuff.
Cheers.

The track looks better than 2.2 and is very nice to drive. Just wondering if anyone else has issues with the AI being significantly slower and taking far slower racing lines than version 2.2. Even when I run myself as the ai.

better ai line for sx_lemans, valid for all three chicane layouts:

Nothing is displaying for me. For your mod, I added the older fast ai line from version 2.2(everything works great). You're SX_Lemans is the main track I use for testing mods I posted here. Thank you for the excellent track.

[mrtomcat66]

Is a too realistic AI-behaviour possible?

With the new v0.1.80-preview218 we get the option for "impatient AI". I did get a shock, when the stuck AI-cars in front of me suddenly started honking like crazy.

 

[Perico Lospa]

...I did get a shock, when the stuck AI-cars in front of me suddenly started honking like crazy.

Next implementation? Road rage... If you overtake aggressively and cause a crash, the AI driver throws karate kicks at you...

Think of a mix between AC and Tekken.

(SONY, watch out!, I had the idea first...)

i must say that ilja fixed the bad start from the ai !
tested with GT3s and VRC and RSS F1 cars . at spielberg monza and racingjoe le mans , and the ai never was so fast of the starting line ! great job , finally he fixed one of the biggest ai issues with AC

 

[lorelord]

I may help
I know nothing about putting stuff to work on AC but I know my way a bit around Blender, I can take a look if you want (not promising anything tho, I'm used to do building, not steering wheels haha)

ok so the Yamaha is shelved for the minute due to reasons I wont share (but good ones)

I do have this rather sexy DeTomaso P70 that needs smoothing. Not sure if youd be interested in trying a hand at this?

 

[StoffelWaffle]

This thing has sat on my HDD for so long (about a year ?) and after seeing that encrypted version floating around I figured I'd finally release it into the wild.
It's not perfect - at all (physics are tripe, probably has errors somewhere) but it's driveable.


Paintable in CM, but no LODs (our dear friend EASY will do it and pass it off as his own on his site so why bother ?), not rainfx ready at all (don't use it, still far from ACC's rain anyway), no fancy CSP shizzle. Made like a mod from 2017 lmao.

Bring it on

(Again, not promising anything at all, I use blender mostly for architectural purpose from autoCAD content, so smoothing is not really my specialty...)

 

[TonyBarracuda]

Awesome! Is there any way to use the already-modelled early 90s final chicane, and perhaps even restore 130R to the original pre-2003 profile, foe even more perfection?

Gday mate. Check it now now . Updated downlaod link the post

Now the nostalgia Suzuka has slighly banked 130R turn + another version of layout with late Casio triangle chicane (no Ai...not sure if its good layout, i prefer original one) If someone like it and want make Ai line for this version - great. I usually don't use Ai

almost unnoticed, but it has small banking now

and this...

yes I agree also possibly NO 6.) Really bad pop in of trees even on relatively high end PC.
