New ChiQuiFreaky Abu Dhabi update, this one available for public download.



As always with his tracks, the first thing I'll be looking at is performance. A lot of his tracks have convincing meshes and excellent visuals, but run very poorly. His Melbourne comes to mind - it would be the best version by far if the performance wasn't a train wreck.

I'll be giving this a look later this week.

Don't get your hopes too high.
Performance is far below average, track lights are a big blur, awful looking palm trees, even worse at night.
No, this needs a lot of work to be decent.

Along with Pyyers extension its still the best we have atm. Unfortunately.

not surprised. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not sure a single one of his tracks has made it to 1.0, which obviously wouldn't even be a sign of quality.

Which I'd be neutral on, of course, except for the fact that he has an active Patreon... at almost $600 USD per month...

I really like the track nemuno_ziedas. The problem is that the trees are way to bright and break the immersion for me. I've tried to fix it by retexturing what I could but I was not successful with all trees. I'd love to place 3d Trees in but have no idea how. If anyone else would like to share some 3d tree love for nemuno_ziedas I'd be very grateful.

In the track folder, go to the extension folder and open ext_config.ini and copy/paste this to the bottom of the file:

[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_...]
ACTIVE = 1
DESCRIPTION = Trees
MATERIALS = shader:ksTree
KEY_0 = ksAmbient
VALUE_0 = 0.25
KEY_1 = ksDiffuse
VALUE_1 = 0.15
KEY_2 = ksSpecular
VALUE_2 = 0.025
KEY_3 = ksSpecularEXP
VALUE_3 = 225
KEY_4 = ksAlphaRef
VALUE_4 = 0.5

You may have to play with the numbers to get them to look exactly how you want them, but this should help them get pointed in the right direction. Ambient is the "shaded" or unlit brightness of the tree, and the Diffuse value is how bright the tree is when illuminated.

I would love to have a scroll through this garage lol. Probably some hard to find cars these days. Any Ford Cortinas hiding away??

I only have those

I got tired of talking about 458 GT3s, and the lack of there being a really nice one. So I instead decided to kinda do something about it, and boom, skin pack.

Four teams, Panasonic, Mahle, NGK and Bose. I like the Bose one the best, I think it looks the nicest. Use the Bose one.

You can find the link to the OG mod in the description on Racedepartment. Which ironically leads back here to a year and a bit ago or something. In case you don't have it already (this wasn't super popular so I doubt many of you have it).

Maybe this is the first step on the road to make people start caring about the Fezza? Probably not but I can dream.

TMW Ferrari 458 GT3 skin pack

Another fictional skinpack for an Italian GT car that didn't really have any nice ones. Coming at you with some Mahle, Bose, NGK and Panasonic teams. To install, have the car open in the content tab of CM, drag and drop the skin zip folder...

www.racedepartment.com

 

[Rodger Davies]

Putting the finishing touches on this, should be done in the next few days.

Great news, been looking forward to seeing what you've cooked up with this one. Which engine have you gone for?

I'm glad you made these skins. This way I found a nice car that I totally overlooked... 👍
Two things: in game the wheels are blurred when standing still:

and the windscreen could be a bit cleaner. This time of year, low sun, I sometimes can't even see where I'm going...

Well, this is what we were talking about a page or two ago. This could be a really neat little mod if there was some attention given to it by some of the modders around here who know their stuff. It wouldn't be a perfect replacement for URD or RSS making it, but we could certainly try and make something more out of what we have, and the base for what we do have isn't terrible, so it wouldn't be extremely difficult to bring the TMW 458 up to a higher standard.

I hope we can have a little revolution start here where a few modders on this forum bring some more attention to the mod, and I would certainly be over the moon if that happened. If it really catches on, heck I'll make so many skins for this thing they'll be coming out my ears.

Yezhrod has a similar car with a load of skins, but they sadly don't fit..
Wpers are ugly and don't work on the Yezhrod car.

The Yezhrod car is an update of an RF1 port that was pasted over 458 GT2 physics. It's a polished turd pretty much. The only nice thing about it is there are tons of skins for replicating early 2010s grids with, and using the car as grid filler.

Also the 2013 car just looks cooler too.

 

[SoulMaTriX]

I have the Thrustmaster TS-XW Base with the Sparco Wheel and atm with an Acelith Formula Addon, Playseat Evolution and only driving in VR with Oculus Rift S, if you mean this? 🤔



@ Question 1: i managed to drive with the V8 version a laptime of 1:16.321 min. and was faster as with the 3.2L version (as i remember 1:17... or 1:18...). I need to edit the gear ratios and put them in their standard setup. Atm there are no specific gear ratios/sets to the 3.2L and V8 version assigned.

@ Question 2: Are you using the v0.7b or the v0.7? because normaly i fixed the reflection issue with the v0.7b. If the issue is still visible in the v0.7b, then i need to check again. 🤔 I dont have this issue and i'm driving in VR too.

I wish I was that fast considering how may KMs I have put on Spa! I don't know why I am 6s faster in the 3.2 than the V8. Maybe the 3.2 was more responsive on my equipment. I am using v0.7b and still get some of the reflection. It is not a deal breaker as your modeling and cars are just awesome. Thank you DW!

If you enter the following lines at the end of the extension config it should rid you of the standing blurred wheel dilema...

[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES = polymsh_extracted62
IS_RENDERABLE = 0

[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES = polymsh_detached41
IS_RENDERABLE = 0

[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES = polymsh_extracted61
IS_RENDERABLE = 0

[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES = polymsh_detached40
IS_RENDERABLE = 0

 

[MisterWaffles]

Another edit/fix for the mod that I think is super important is getting rid of these weird 8-bit shadows on the front that appear during certain lighting conditions. I have no idea what's causing that or why they exist, but it would be amazing if someone was able to figure out why those were appearing and eliminate them. It makes the front of the car look so bad in certain scenes.

But @maximeerkat and @Projekt EDEN I appreciate your two hotfixes for some of the minor graphical issues the car had. There are issues that run much deeper, but that was a really good start. Thank you.

I believe it's the VAO patch in the car's main folder. I deleted it out and the shadowy front bumper has cleared...

That had the opposite effect for me, now the weird shadows/smudges are visible in every lighting condition no matter what.

Could someone else try deleting the VAO file and seeing what it does please?

for me this happened:

with the vao patch still in the car's folder i had the weird shadows in any light.

with the vao patch deleted i have no weird shadows at all in any light

csp 1.79 slightly older version of CM and sol says "weather script" 2.2.3 and "controller script" 2.2

I tried redownloading the car entirely and setting it up again and that actually fixed it lol. Seems I was still using a slightly older version before it was even released so long ago lmao.

Deleting the VAO patch just cleared the dumb shadows, and I'm reapplying the edits that were posted here today and my skin pack.

If anyone else has any suggestions or wants to try improving the 458 beyond what's been done here just now, please. That would be very nice lol.

 

[maximeerkat]

I have the latest SOL and tried both CSP 1.79 and 2.0 and neither did anything. Also the VAO file is nuked off my hard drive, so idk what's causing it.

edit glad its sorted

 

[MisterWaffles]

edit glad its sorted

Thanks a lot either way, appreciate it.

One of the final visually egregious things about the car in my opinion that's incredibly obvious is the DRL's are so strong they're projecting like high-beams, even when the headlights are off at night. This is ridiculously stupid and needs to be fixed. I can do basic lights but I'm not sure how to fix this one.

458 GT3 Light Fix

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

www.mediafire.com

Okay, so I was able to manage something, but it takes a little doing. Download the fix with the link I've created, then copy everything from the zip file except for the extension config file into the car's extension folder. Open the extension config file in the dowload, copy all the lines, and add them to the end of the 458's own extension config and save it. Once that's done, you should be able to turn the lights on and off. The only problem is the color...I believe there is a way to change the of the headlight beams to match to yellow color of the original, but help me if I've gone through to see which lighting segment it is. I pulled the files from my Mazda RX-Vision GT3 (can't remember if that's where they came from or if I got it from somewhere else) but it seemed to work for this situation for me. I hope this gives you a start! Good Luck!

Hello, how are you guys, this is my question in the forum: if someone here has created a mod of the LMP2 BR 01-Nissan from 2015 and 2016?

Try changing these values in the ext_config - works fine...

[Perico Lospa]

What a mess of improvements! I'm afraid I'll end up like this when applying to the mod all the changes you're sharing... 😗

 

[nasmonk]

There is an unfinished project, maybe someone will be interested. The LC2 model from Velo was taken as a basis.

What about a certain lovely little De Tomaso, polished and waxxed, waiting patiently in the garage ?
