So here is the treefx file for Varano. It´s my first approach in creating such an extension, so be gentle if you find some bugs or anomalities. I would call it a v0.5.

Put the extension folder into the Varano folder and overwrite it - it´s based on @slider666 ´s latest extension so it should be up-to-date.

Download varano treefx zip

Feedback welcome!

Not your fault that it really hurts performance (about 40 fps less on my system), because treeFX isn't worth using in its present state.
But where @slider666 fixed the bad looking mountains with his latest config, they are now bad again.

That's clearly not the case. John (and mantasisg, who I've just learned is part of this mess from this post) are shutting down attempts by seemingly non-nefarious community members to update their aging mods.

Oops. That sounds like what I do. I never realized it was looked down upon so harshly. Maybe out of respect I should take down my Goodwood mod and a couple of other ones.

 

[SGETI]

@racinjoe013 , Take them down? No please don't. How about a message to the track owner, as described above. Let them know you have recently been informed that the changes may be looked down upon and you wish to make matters agreeable.
I enjoy your tasteful tweaks. thank you

 

[Fullnoise]

Thank you 😀

As for the teams I took this site as a reference but it does not carry information on the chassis. For now I think the right thing is to take the 4.3m one as a base and add the various details taken from the various chassis. In reality, this could even get interesting: once I have finished the 3D part, I could also create two separate versions to have both the small and large chassis.

PS: Are the side lights all the same color?

Yes it is a great site for reference but you are right that it does not track the chassis number change I mentioned.
Making the two versions to cover from 2001 would complete your project and the base gtr2 skins can be converted with some of the good work you have done.

All three position lights the same colour, yellow or gold for GT/GT2.
GTS/GT1 is light green
LMP2 is light blue
LMP1 is red

Many thanks for your help. I will check it all out.

You may be able to identify which car is the culprit for holding up the grid. Further to what Mikeonthemic said and lower the first gear ratio, increasing the torque values in power.lut under 2000 rpm will also help.
It may seem the values are unrealistic but as the AI starts moving the rpm drops under 1000 so they need low rpm torque to get moving quickly.

Yeah, I absolutely love your tweaks, man. Grab every one.

I don't know if you'd made any changes or not to any of their tracks, but I guess I'd consider pulling them down.

Unfortunately, changing grass hues and textures is exactly the type of thing they're getting mad about. That and adding RainFX/redoing trees/other CSP things, from my understanding.

I can understand this up to a point. I can respect the fact that they spend days upon days, months upon months, years upon years building and creating their tracks and have a specific vision for their tracks. What I can't understand that they don't understand (especially for older tracks made before CSP was even a thing or tracks made for the base game) is that most of the time that vision is completely lost because of changes in the game engine that CSP\Sol\Pure make.

A quick example is Fat-Alfie's Battenbergring. And please don't take any of this as a knock against Fat-Alfie because I know he's not involved in any of this. I just happened to have comparison shots of this track handy so it was easy to use it as an example instead of having to make screenshots of one of the track's in question, like Goodwood. The same thing applies to that track as well.

Under the base game, the track looks incredible:

But with CSP\Sol\Pure, the track looks hideous. The colors are all wrong, the shadowing is terrible. It looks nothing like he intended:

But with a few tweaks, at least it can get closer to his intended look even if it's not an exact match:

And this is where I don't get their frustration. What is wrong with the end user wanting the track to look the best it can look. And what is wrong with wanting to drive the track in the rain or at night or with any of the other available CSP features. And why do they look at someone creating a track skin or adding a CSP feature as some kind of insult to their work. If it was me, i'd take it as sort of a compliment. If someone is willing to spend months (which I have done) on a mod of a track, that must mean they really like the track.

I guess having never actually created something from scratch my perspective is skewed, but i'd like to think I would have the same opinion even if I had. I just know that with all the different variables in this game (ppfilters, personal tastes, Sol vs. Pure vs. stock weather, CSP vs. base game, etc.), they have to understand that what they see is not what everyone else sees and they should be a little more open to someone creating an alternative look that might fit someone else's eyes better. As long as that person is not profiting from it or taking credit for the track itself, I just don't understand the problem.

Bro had hacked my computer
when did I make this one? I remember that someone had asked me for help with this mod, I don't remember what it was,
I fix it and that's it
I have some plans to make it more "Assetto Corsa regulations" like lods, textures, etc.. Also the Nissan 350z LM and GTO LM
Anyway, I will start to work on those, and If someone what to help, is welcome as always,

You hit the nail on this point.
And why, if you make an add-on mod that only replaces the, as a sample the low poly objects, but you still needs the original track.
For the rest, tracks are good, but still it’s not the end of AC if they leave the AC scene.

Thanks. Bit of a strange one as I have tried my other Le Mans tracks and all the cars start ok. I think it must be something in the extensions I have for other years. Original SX Le Mans track works ok after investigation .

Hi !

I bought it early in the morning, It’s a banger.
Shape, sounds, physics (even if I will never drive this car IRL), I appreciated it a lot during the 6 laps I drove it on Riverside long.
I will more test it on modern tracks further with enthusiasm.

Cheers.

Both of these individuals have provided us with elite quality tracks that will last as long as AC is viable. They deserve our respect and the community should NOT offfer judgement for something for which we have no direct involvement!.

Yeah, I wish I could say I'm surprised, but...I'm not.
The sheer level of fragility of the egos of some modders is simply staggering.

The idea that they should somehow have a say in how other people enjoy their creations is just ridiculous.
If you care so obsessively about what you've created, maybe don't release it in the first place?
If you do decide to release your creations, why not be happy that your tracks are being used and enjoyed?
It's not as if their use in LFM is causing harm to anyone, is it?

Seriously, if the response to the creators demands was indeed to "shove it", I for one, fully support it.
The level of pettiness on the part of these track-makers makes it nigh-on impossible for me to conjure up any feelings of respect for them.
All the undeniable skill and effort that went into their work (and make no mistake, these are some of the absolute best mods available for AC), simply pales in the face of their self-important arrogance.
Pathetic.
But most of all, just depressing.

Exactly my thoughts. You release a track so that everyone enjoy it, some people enjoy it more and decide to do a tournament on that track. Why are you shocked?

These people needs to understand that they don't have every rights on their creation so that they can control how people use it. It's like Kunos complaining that LFM creates an organization around their game. If kunos did complain, nobody would side with them. So why would we side with jonhr777? Who are they to feel entitled to throw a tantrum because an "esport" organization uses their track for a race, when same people would be absolutely baffled if kunos did try to prevent this. All majors simracing games like Gran turismo, Forza, F1 23, there is absolutely 0 problem for a structure like LFM to exist. Uses the cars provided by the game, and the tracks provided by the game. Because there's nothing in the terms of uses that restrict it. And would be the death of simracing if it actually existed. So if you create a free content that is merged with the database of the game content, then ¯\(ツ)/¯.

You can protect your work for theft, but not how it is used by people. Unless it is a commercial product, where upon buying the goods, you can do a "contract" with the buyer and have a list of terms and conditions (Which is what RSS does and sells a licence to use their mods in competitive esports tournaments). This sucks, but on par with the way simracing goes with a clear breach between community and business.

Unfortunately for them, they aren't a company, and aren't part of the business side of simracing, so they can't do restrictive terms of uses.

So, how can i change the 3D Model of a Tyre + Rim?
Is it only possible with programs like Blender and 3dsmax? Or is there a way to change the whole mesh/tyre with a csp command?

c:\Users\your account name\AppData\Local\AcTools Content Manager\Values.data should be the file you should restore.
Save your old file first so that you don't lose anymore.
Imho, this file is for both search lists, that of the tracks and that of the cars.
Good luck and success...

Is it only possible with programs like Blender and 3dsmax? Or is there a way to change the whole mesh/tyre with a csp command?

Short Answer : no

Long Answer : You can technically export wheels and rims as kn5, and use the ext_config.ini to ask csp to replace those objects by the one you provided.

This isn't straighforward for 2 reasons :

1 The position of the object imported in the new cars is not perfectly aligned, unless you already imported the car in blender, and made spacial changes to the wheel you want to replace the original so that it fits. So you'll lose a lot of time tweaking the config to make sure the tyres or rim are correctly aligned.

2 Blender is still involved anyway, so may as well go the easy route
