GPLmania season Part 5!

RELEASE of Aintree 1962, Ahvenisto 60s, Shader-fix-a-rama and one new championship of the GPLmania series.
​

In the last edition of new championships we're getting into lower classes formula cars of the 60s. GPLmania Part 5 brings you the Formula STARborn championship with races on famous little F3 tracks mostly made by Sergio Loro.

The idea of GPLmania is to bring together the best historic cars and tracks made for AC in championships that are either inspired by real historic ones or just fun to drive. Part 5 contains all work of previous parts.

There will be 6 parts, with new releases for each part.

All download links are given in the Read Me file in the package. Be aware some of the content is for paid only.

The update contains a change of the "Legends of the 50s" championship. Don't update yet if you're in the championship.

Thanks a lot for Aintree and Ahvenisto ! It was well needed

 

[Rivanov]

What is currently considered to be the "best" Ferrari 499P mod? Regarding model, handling and sound?
I have both the SDD and ACForum version.. but both aren't perfect. Especially the sound is off..

I have a problem.
I installed newest Sol but also I noticed that I had updated for CM on and I remember people complaining about the latest update.
The problem is with Sol planner. I have a proper 2.5 weather script selected in Weather FX but in game it says that the controler is not selected.
Is there a way I can fix it? I was trying to look for possibility to download older CM from 2022 which I was using but I couldn't find anything.

open the ingame Lua Debug app and see if there is a tab with a red dot.
Actually i see you are using Pure. So please update this to 0.180a!

GPLmania season Part 5!
​

Thank you again for your tireless efforts. One question though, in the 1967 season, why substitute Mosport out for Mt Tremblant while keeping the rest of the season historically correct? There is a Mosport available for AC, though it could probably do with a better AI and sidelines, as the AI do tend to like running wide at alot of the corners. I did find a supposed quick fix that stopped the AI doing it at t3 or 4, i cant remember which, but t1 and the 3rd last corner are 2 of the worst.

 

[Rainmaker87]

Thanks for kind words. There is no historic MoSport for AC but a very nice historic Mt Tremblant so I switched that.

 

[DaWallace]

both are close to be finished. they need a bit more work on BOP and some testing, but then the release is close 🥰

 

[Famine]

Hmm I don’t know - no question its gonna be a good, modern, obvious feature BUT those poking around here in this thread just to find new things and Upgrades i was first not looking for, is gonna loose his charm.
The special charm of exactly THIS threadt
So mixed feelings about that

It... doesn't work like that.

People can (and will, and should) still post their mods here. The files will also, if you choose, be hosted here too (and they'll be in a browsable, searchable place).

No charm lost, with a gain in functionality.

Also in testing the files were uploading and downloading as fast as the local bandwidth will allow - so if you've had issues with UL/DL speeds on other hosts, give it a bash.

 

[DaWallace]

and some screenshots of the beasts 😁

Really nice! Have they been made from scratch? Love to see some cars which were almost forgotten and not included in every sim by standard. Maybe a chance to also see a Cupra GT sometime, or even a Seat Toledo GT? Good ol´GTR2 times!

no, not done from scratch. i think they are maybe old GTR converts. the vertigo was "updated" long time before from ACTK EASY, but interior was horrible. The Mantis was from BE Modding, even with no interior (or very lowpoly interior). So i reworked both cars with new exterior details (headlights, taillights, quick fasteners and more), gave them a reasonable interior, reworked physics and new extension config. i'm working some weeks for now on both cars and i think it was really worth it. 🥰

Seems so! The overhaul is noticable right now. Very well done. Please check and consider if you could convert a Toledo or a Cupra, that would be awesome (since also only crap mods are available atm).

 

[dbeck49]

Go to your assettocorsa\extension\config\gui.ini and search for "new ui menu" and there is something like "hidden" which must be set to 0. Sorry not on my rig so I cannot recall 100%.

Tried this but it doesn't change anything for me. Interesting i didnt even know the ui could look like this

 

[Fall Guy]

It definitely does. I will check later on and send you a screenshot.

 

[SthrnOldskool]

understood, though the layout didnt change did it? personally i changed the championship for myself, but with the talent on this forum, surely there is enough that could give the MoSport the treatment of some historical appeal.. i love the track, one of my favourite northern hemisphere tracks

 

[DiemPerdidi]

Thanks for kind words. There is no historic MoSport for AC but a very nice historic Mt Tremblant so I switched that.

Is the THR vintage version no good? As @SthrnOldskool says, the layout hasn't changed since the circuit was built, so it's effectively just a re-skin. I have it downloaded, but I haven't raced on it myself yet.

 

[Aaron Green]

and some screenshots of the beasts 😁

They look incredible!

 

[Stupornaut]

Agreed, this is good work. And if it really is this possible to take GTR2/GT Legends/rFactor-era vehicles and update the actual models and meshes to look smoother and more detailed (no more visible polys in wheel wells or drawn-on body panel lines), we could finally round out AC's roster of pre-2010s race car mods far beyond the gridfiller quality graphics most of them have. I know it's kind of a tunnel-vision pipe dream I have personally, but even if there's just a slight demand for it, hey, why not.

just wanted to say that with the aintree work I did I deleted a lot of the horse jumping hedges. not sure if you added them back in or whether they are worth updating. they looked so bad on the original version.

The track layout did not change I know that but the whole atmosphere is different on a modern track like runoffs, modern spectators, pit buildings and vegetation can be different. I will have a look at the THR file.

 

[Shokeus]

sometimes you find unfinished projects in your pc ....

 

[slider666]

Looks great!

Would you consider making your changes public?

BTW: Is there a "final" version of the improvements for Gilles' track "Carrieres de Beez"? I found several variations but I'm not sure if they are still up to date.

Regards, B.B.

Sure, but as mentioned before, it would be even better if you could do more advanced configurations than just grass and rain FX.

And again, I knew better, but I always fall into the same trap. The horror has a name: Gilles75...
"His" tracks are always a source of massive head-shaking. My God, how bad can someone be.

It's just no fun trying to improve them, and yet I've done it again and again, as I'm doing again now. It would be better to re-convert the tracks, which would look safer, faster and better.
But well, now I've started stupidly, so here, the current state.
There are still a lot of errors, wrong vertex normals, strange shaders etc..

But, imo, the worst is gone. Many, many one-sided textures are now double-sided. Trees, grasses, bushes, the spectators, flags, bridge etc. straightened.
I tried to create a more coherent overall picture.
There is also some light. Where there are street lamps only, of course.
Working warning lights, too
The logo was distorted, I have corrected that too. Changed some tags in ui.json too, as for example there are now some night lights...

I used a completely new config. I have included the old one as *_orig. But, to be on the safe side, please make a backup first, in case you want to go back to the previous state for whatever reason.
I hope, I didn´t messed something.

About "Carrieres de Beez"... I think I threw it in the corner at some point. I'd have to see if I still have it on my HDD at all.
I think the last time I screwed with it, @Beezer215 pointed out to me that more than 10-12 cars just make chaos on the grid. That and some weird effects with seasonal config settings.... That's when I gave up in frustration.

As I just mentioned, it would have been easier to convert it "from the scratch" than to work on his s....... Sorry, the frustration had to come out.

But I'll see if I can still find it.
However, if someone has a good source for the original that I could convert, it would probably be the better and easier way. 🤷‍♂️

Don't forget that wonderful flying chicken too!!
I laugh every lap from that thing. 😂
But you did a great job with what you had to work with Slider. 🙌

Spoiler: However

I still have the track if you don't and want it again

My motivation to search was yet just not high enough.
So if you have it ready in a minute, I would be grateful if you could share it. Hm, maybe not... More work on this gilles75 crap....

Edit: But, was I right? It seems to be some years you told me that, but was it the grid making probs?

It's not horrible. It doesn't have the best assetts here or there. Like maybe the crowd or side of the road vehicles. But it does provide the cool layout of the track and you made it better than it was in the first place at least.
I'll upload it right now. Don't hold your breath on my upload speeds though. And I would think twice about fixing that chicken, it's kind of a staple of the track now.

That is amazing - thank You VERY much for your effort!
Yeah, as I said before, I can't do much and I'm limited by lack of time.
But I'm glad when my tinkering manages to spark the interest of someone more knowledgeable.
In an ideal word I would love to just simply drive those historic tracks without having to change stuff around.
But sometimes even narrow cockpit view shows too much and I'm tempted to go back to my GPL installation...

Thanks again.
