Anyone found a way to get good previews using the new "Use CSP for final render"? (and can share their preset)

when I turn on "Use CSP for final render" , I end up with a "washed out" version that looks not as good as without CSP... :(

with CSP for final render on :

without CSP:

Also this is a plea to the good folks updating CM and CSP ... please put some TLC in that part of the Preview generation
(and have us being ably to choose a PP filter or at least use the PP filter that was choosen in the video settings) :bowdown:

Well, I was recently chatting with Ilja on some improvements to the csp previews and he told me some lessons and in-depth knowledge how the csp previews are working and how they are generated. In fact, the latest preview1 of 0.2.3 is currently the best working solution you can have. Changing the pp filter is possible with some editing of an ini file but currently also does not make any noticable difference (believe me, I have edited nearly 500 car´s previews since then). ;) The default pp filter currently is the one which is used for generating the previews.

For best results I figured out that the Greenfield showroom preset is working best with all the cars, either encrypted or not. It simply generates the best reflections out of the box. Maybe you want to try that.

it always depends on what kind of preview you prefer. Right now I am using these.

could you share your Preview preset please for using this showroom in Update preview? It is not installed when installing this showroom...


EDIT : never mind , figured out how to do it , and indeed it is very nice! Thanks!

What is the story with the lower res looking previews in the most recent CSP releases? I've seen others mentioning it here and the only work around I've found is to roll back to 1.79, do the preview on the car, then update to CSP 2.0/2.2 to be able to run sol/pure. The newer CSP previews don't seem to have any window reflections and look so washed out.
 
Beta 0.1 is over. There's still a lot to sort out, but at least it exists. There are still some problems, including: mapping problems, inaccurate skins, imperfect animations and horrible lods.

Small note: I temporarily used the GH of the evora because I don't know how to manage the values of the lut table.

For any problem, just write to me here on GTPanet. The only thing I ask you is not to reupload the car, I would like it to be available only from the link I provided. In case anyone wants to make changes, just contact me and I will report the update (obviously you will be added to the credit list).

Merry Christmas guys 🍀

I had the same idea , but then Fall Guy pointed me to Greenfield showroom , and I must say it gives very nice results.

And if you add some CSP paint parameters you can even get it nicer...

without the added CSP paint parameters, it looks like this:
1703875149133.png

(which is also already better then what I ever achieved w the SR Hangar preview)

dont think the previews are looking washed out at all. It always depends on the preview settings you use.

I'll share what's happening my end and you can be the judge. Hopefully it's just a simple box that I need to untick but it looks like something is up with the compression of the jpg or something. It almost looks like CM is exporting them as GIFs, like really bad light shading in the car window reflections for example.
 
here is the preset I now use ...

remove .txt from the filename and then put in this location:
C:\Users\your*user\AppData\Local\AcTools Content Manager\Presets\Custom Previews


if it still looks washed out, I add this cfg ini in the car skin folder, to spruce it up (changeing at least the name of the body mesh, and the base specular color)
mods that have already csp paint will not need to be modified as such , only mods without csp paint can use this extra..

Thanks very much, it's coming along very nicely and is good fun in spec races. Is it BoP'd against any other cars (eg @DaWallace's Marcos etc)? Also, what game provided the model?
One quick thing, in data/drivetrain.ini SUPPORTS_SHIFTER=0 should be used to disable gated shifting and make it sequential only (it's currently SUPPORTS_SHIFTER=1).
The cockpit is nicely finished but the driver posture is quite weird in VR (mainly the way he holds the steering wheel) but subbing a more natural posture in might bork the sequential shifting animation.
The very low and upright steering wheel blocks most of the MoTeC so maybe a separate display could be added to the left of the steering wheel, even if this is just a big LED gear indicator?
Be good too if a lot of the more obvious facets on the bodywork (eg the wheel arches, wings etc) could be smoothed out, although it's not an issue in the heat of battle.
Looking forward to future developments. Thanks again.

Basically the car has two engine maps: one with 400 hp and one with 440 hp. In theory, based on the tests I have done, the car should be able to compete with the others more or less on every circuit. If any problems arise I will try to remedy them.

You're right about the support for the H gearbox, I forgot to set everything only for the sequential (in the next update I'll fix it).

The model is the GTR2 one. In the end only the body remained more or less original, I redid the rest from scratch with blender (and it is noticeable due to a topology so bad that it would make any 3D artist feel bad 😂 ).

As for the driver position, the problem is that in blender the driver has a natural pose but in game it doesn't respect what I set (also happens to the hand/wrist position).

The bodywork, but in general the 3D elements, are not final. Little by little I'm trying to fix everything (as I did for the splitter, headlights, etc.).

The steering covers the motec a bit, yes, but this type of configuration has the steering straight (compared to other versions which bring the steering inclined upwards). What is certain is that the 3D model of the steering wheel will not remain the same but will be changed. If the problem persists with the new one, I will look for a remedy to make the motec more visible.

Thanks to you, if it weren't for you who believed in this mod I would never have fixed it. 🎄

wanted to give feedback that this is a fantastic conversion. Everything about the track itself is excellent. Performance, textures, lighting, everything. It looks almost identical to Autosport itself, which speaks volumes to the work. It is an essential download.

I'll note that the AI is not quick enough to race here, though. They get through the lap just fine - which is quite the achievement considering the high-speed left handers on the back straight - but are simply off the pace elsewhere. I am lapping in the mid 1:59s in the RSS Lambo - and the AI at 100% and 95% aggression are almost 4 seconds a lap slower. There's another second or two out there as well, for non-**** drivers. It's sadly not worth booting an AI weekend up yet.

Let me list a few places they're sluggish:
  • through the esses with the death kerbs in S1 (understandable), as well as around the roundabout.
  • the 90 degree left hander onto the back straight - losing almost a second here, maybe more, as they're braking way too deep
  • the exit out of the high-speed left hander on the back straight onto the mini straight - way too cautious and heavy on brakes
  • pretty much the whole complex around the pit area - cautious and heavy on the brakes to a fault

I do stink, but I actually was quite quick on Autosport back in the day. I have cracked out the TT Cup and am going to see what I can do with an AI line of my own for this track. I'll report back with results.


I'll be using this for league races, no question, even if I can't get the AI right.

Cheers.

Yep , the AI is a wee slow. It is a very agressive track to obtain a fast lap, cutting kerbs etc and is super fun. AI have huge issues on kerbs at med/low speeds and also do not late brae well. All this adds up to slow AI (and at most tracks with that style). Will be happy to add any new AI improvements to the next version.

Happy you are enjoying the track

Figure this is worth a separate post, as it entails a question.

So, I finally knuckled down and learned how to improve AI lines. I have a strangely functional AI Line for @RMi_wood 's Washington DC Street Circuit that I mentioned above. AI is 4-4.5 seconds quicker than stock in the RSS Lambo, and about ~3.5 seconds quicker in the TT Cup. Everything seems to be working well - I weaved in extra hints and incidents are now quite rare. A good thing, considering this circuit is a complete death trap.

I just have one problem - on first boot, the cars will not start when the lights go out. They'll just sit there at the start-finish line, slowly edging out of their starting box until they roll away slowly a half minute later. If I restart the event once, though - even if it's instant and I don't even see the lights go out - they roll away at lights out perfectly.

Is this a problem with my AI line, or perhaps an issue with the track? I don't see any major segmentation at the start-finish line in the purple fast_lane, as I was sure to overlap. The left and right boundaries are also as far left and right as they can be at the grid - so no cars are outside of the red boundaries at the start. Disabling the AI behavior in CSP does nothing, sadly.

I feel like it's my simple mistake - I'd appreciate someone in the know chiming in to point me in the right direction.

If I can get this start issue squared away, I'd be happy to give this line out for further testing. Cheers.

Try running a Time Attack once after creating a new AI, this generates a new overlays.ini, which may or may not be causing the issue
 
The latest version of the "Targa Florio" (.2.03 by abuz) available on Breathe's track list is absolutely stunning! As are Sergio Loro's Marlboro and Greenwood Raceway. So much great stuff.

Happy Holidays to everyone and a Happy New Year. Thank you to all of the modders, painters and track makers. I can't wait to see what 2024 will bring us.

today I learned that Time Attack is a thing that exists in AC.

I'll give this a try.

Please try my preset with the greenfield showroom (remove the .txt extension) and let me know the outcome. I can´t believe you need to put a file into each car, what kind of additional work is that, please? Normally everything should work out of the box without adding anything.

Hello everyone:gtplanet:
I downloaded the “NeckFx LUA script” from RD

NeckFx LUA script

If, like me, you've spent a lot of time driving in Live for Speed and have been searching for a camera setup that feels similar in Assetto Corsa, you now have a reason to be excited. Thanks to the work of jordash.681324 and some of my own...
www.racedepartment.com www.racedepartment.com

But unfortunately the script does not contain the "Track following" and "Steering following" options.
Can these options be included?
How can I do it?:confused:

That is to reproduce the camera from LiveForSpeed, why would you use a script to reproduce a specific look to then change it with other settings?
Surely you just want the NeckFX section in CM for what you are looking for?

In the NeckFX section in CM with selected script
These options above are not available.
The question is whether these options can be inserted with the selected script
 
A buddy of mine likes to make servers with AI traffic to help fill out grids when he doesn't have enough real life participants, and usually the AI cars make it around most circuits successfully, but he's having trouble with the Spa 66 that racingjoe013 updated recently. They get around the circuit, but much too slowly. If anyone has any ideas, it would be much appreciated!

Try the ai from parrilla. Much faster than the ai I made. I never had much luck with it though. The AI always piled up on the left hand turn at the top of the hill. Could be I use too high an aggression setting. You might have better luck with it.

Spa 1966 AI

Speaking of AI, I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas on how to fix a problem with the LeMans67 ai. I have yet to figure out a fix. When two ai cars are near each other going down the front stretch and one of them slows down to pit, the ai car that is not pitting slams on the brakes in response to the other car slowing down. I've never seen this happen at any other track and would love to come up with a fix for it but so far no luck.
