Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[slider666]

hey guys, I have the small issue

one of the modcars I downloaded has a windshield-banner, which does reflect the curbs and the texture of the road from the bottom "through" the car. I drive with cockpit camera, so its veeery dictracting,
so I want this reflections disabled.

(all reflections settings I already tried from content manager, didnt do anything (or do they? I couldnt find it)).

Im kind of hoping that this is easy to fix. But I have no idea. The rest of the car is really nice, so Id like to keep it, and drive it.
Have you any idea how this can be tweaked and solved? I hoped maybe I only need to find the config file and change the parameters for the reflextion of the banner. But I dont know.. Im not owning Photoshop, and I hope
this can be solved without such (paid) software?

Appreciate your feedback! Thanks and regards, Dave

I know what you mean, and as it happens, just the other day at @Pfalzdriver´s tuned Scirocco, I fixed that for myself. But unfortunately, I didn't have the time to test it. That's why I haven't published it here yet.

But the basic part works imo, and should also work for other cars with name adjustments. On the other hand, I´m more familiar with tracks than with cars. So, maybe someone will post a better solution.
At least this worked for me:

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
MATERIALS = Ext_Glass_Banner
SHADER= ksPerPixel

Add this to the ext_config.ini of a car. Rename "Ext_Glass_Banner" to a name you get when you click on a specific car banner. In the showroom or on the track with the Object Inspector switched on.

Superb car, really like it. Small flicker around the area of the Castrol badge on the front as the car comes towards you on F3 reply and again when the cat is going away from you the the XJR9 and v12 badges on the rear flicker again with the F3 view. Otherwise perfect. I'm using csp 0.1.80-preview218

Yep, confirmed as working - this morning I did this for the Scirocco tuned version, the one with the banner, to remove the road reflections:

You need to move the banner object into the cockpit_hr node. This can also be achieved via ext_config.ini. It's the correct way to do it for lighting and such but anyway if your solution is working then maybe don't bother. Ofcourse stating the obvious but better to report to mod maker if they are reachable.

Random but sometimes the cars don't like traction control being on. Have you tried switching it off? More common in older car mods but does happen every now and again.

yes traction is off, its very odd. I thought someone could teach me how to edit the ini files/data files for the gearbox. Full max throttle is just very slow rev climbs and never reaches 6th gear

i have more in wip

wheels are placeholders

Hello all, I am having an issue in this 2022 FW44 where the gears don't climb high enough to full engine potential, it is very slow acceleration.. I max out at around 5th gear. How can I solve this? Appreciate any help thanks!

I usually don't drive modern open wheelers, but you got me curious so I tried the car. On my side nothing wrong. Going fast through all gears. To be sure I also tried the Mercedes, and same there. Both equally fast.
Have you tried reinstalling the car ?

@Rainmaker87

Please tell me, are all the track improvements you released on RD, also to find here?
I am mainly after the 1988s tracks.
I try to DL some on RD and it´s once again a pain.... can last few weeks or somethin ^^

@Rainmaker87 as his mediafire link of all files in his signature (didnt see his reply, but for anyone else who tries to find the same thing)

Thanks man, tried it, just to be sure tried it with all 3 materials in that area of the windshield, which is the windshield, the inside banner, and the outside banner, didnt work, unless I messed something up? this I added in the ext_config

On which car do you tried this? I can't say what's wrong, without inspecting it myself. Could you share it? Maybe per PM?

hey man, I just replied to "slider666" that it didnt work myside, then I came up with the idea, maybe its possible or easier just to remove the banner itself? or maybe there is a plan b, I dont know,
but thanks a lot also to you!

 

[Pfalzdriver]

The Sciroccos banner is reflecting the road inside of the car? Never noticed myself, but I trust you on that one.

Moving the Ext_Window into Cockpit_HR doesnt really make sense tho. The banner is a doublesided part of ext_window. I guess I'll split it into a separate mesh and move this one to Cockpit_HR. Will take care of it next week, this weekend I'm not at home all day long.

BTW, Int_Glass and ksPerPixel doesnt really make sense too, does it?

 

[DaveZi1]

BTW, Int_Glass and ksPerPixel doesnt really make sense too, does it?

Haha, yeah, many things here doesnt make sense to me
but I rather try, as I dont know what this is meaning anyways (I dont even know what "ksperpixel" stands for, and I wouldnt have to know if it worked, that was the plan)

for now I try to keep the effort to a minimum, its just one anoying banner, if its to complex to solve, then its not worth to be solved
I have enough other cars.

But I am a curious person, so I thought I give it a try

 

[Pfalzdriver]

I hate unfinished work.

Can you test this one please: https://mega.nz/file/c8tAibLD#2cleK85GSFpRUoVI5UoTKv6LvVavisVUWZj-nBIOpWs

I made a quick test at the drag strip and Mugello and didnt notice any reflections at the banner. But maybe its because of my csp settings, cant test every single combination.

Just replace the existing pfa_vwsci_mk1_s1.kn5 with this one. Internal Banner is now a standalone mesh within Cockpit_HR.

If this is working I'll create new LODs and a new VAO this evening and update the car with the already changed stuff yesterday.

I too made a skin for this car, it's on racedepartment, and im working on one atm, can you share these beuties with us?

 

[MiljuDelems]

Yes, although they are not 100% perfect, as well as invented/adapted cars. Until someone decides to do something more correctly I will continue this work.
That's right, I don't intend to be with me as soon as possible (after some tests and adjustments), I hope to "SHARE EVERYTHING" ...

don't worry mate, I'm sure people here understand it's 100% amateur conversion, as for myself, it's no big deal if physics are not spot on: it will be mainly for ai. Because as you say "fill the grid©" is the way to go!

It works as in it no longer reflects the road, but the green tint completely disappears when facing away from the sun.
I remember having this issue years ago on a car with a similar translucent sunstrip, but can't remember what the solution was.

Thanks for releasing the mod.
The decals did not appear to be transparent, so the following was added to ext_config.

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION=decal
MATERIALS=hood_castrol,number,body_decal,decal_4
SHADER=ksPerPixel
BLEND_MODE=ALPHA_BLEND
IS_TRANSPARENT = 1

Switching to ksperpixel seems to solve this ... which makes absolutely no sense. Welcome to AC.

Edit: ksperpixel is the deal, update this evening. And I've inserted Kitty into another node, so she is also visible in LodB.

Sure, It's not much, plus it has my driver name above the door, but at least it could be used as a grid filler.

LOD_D of a car is completely black, if it's generated with the LOD generator of Content Manager ("Generate LODs" under "Manage cars" of a car - only in the paid version of CM) and the car has no seperated car paint meshes. To avoid this, you have to remove "!$CarPaint" under the settings "MERGE AS BLACK" of LOD D. But be aware, that the resulting LOD_D will be less optimized and have more "Objects" and "Materials".

EDIT: I've checked the car "Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione" and the problem isn't a black LOD_D. The distance values in lods.ini are wrong. Change lods.ini to:

[COCKPIT_HR]
DISTANCE_SWITCH=7

[LOD_0]
FILE=daytona.kn5
IN=0
OUT=12

[LOD_1]
FILE=daytona_lodA.kn5
IN=12
OUT=45

[LOD_2]
FILE=daytona_lodB.kn5
IN=45
OUT=220

[LOD_3]
FILE=daytona_lodC.kn5
IN=220
OUT=2000

EDIT 2:
The car has also a problem in tyres.ini.
PERFORMANCE_CURVE=tcurve_soft.lut
should be changed to (2 times in tyres.ini)
PERFORMANCE_CURVE=tcurve.lut

EDIT3: I've uploaded the wrong lods.ini. Now it's corrected. Thank you to @Fall Guy for the info.
