I experienced a similar issue for the first time at Le-mans yesterday where the AI cars sometimes don't even get off the line but the same cars tested at Charlotte Motor Speedway race without issues, at least for me.
what was too dark? Only the low tones? Because the default pure ppfilter is even brighter than the one from Pure 0.235.Hi Joe ,
I noticed when I switched to the pure PP filter when I installed the newest Pure yesterday, that even after a total reset to default via the Pure config app, everything was too dark...
I use the Improved Visuals Pure CS filter. Screen and VR ppfilter and must say I like the results alot better then with Peter's latest own pure pp filter...
Not only are the images lighter and more accurate for the time of day, but also I notice that emitted light from brake lights and dash instruments etc are more realistic and immersive.
A very good example to showcase the reason esp in VR I preffer this PP filter over to the native pure filter by Peter Boese :
take the Volkswagen Golf Mk2 Tuned "Unknown v1.1" (found on ACTK garage),
when you turn on the headlights the dials and digits of the speedometer emit a blue light.
With the default pure filter , they become almost unreadable and they "sink" (I don't know how else to call it, they move down a bit in the Z axis if you know what I mean. flicking on/off the lights , you will see what I mean - potentially only in VR!)
With the aforementioned IV PureCS filter this effect is not at all there, and the lights on the instruments are beautiful and realistic.
As you correctly mentioned, using different PP filters, gives other results, so maybe before changing actual textures , we should all agree what PP filter to use a base of refference ?? (and my vote goes to this IV PureCS filter)
I urge you to try it
(esp before making tracks darker, it's good to select the best possible PP filter first
maybe there's better ones but this one is the best one I came across , and it seems to get updated frequently along w Pure updates) - I'm at v2.0 and now already it's at 2.14 (which I will install now - hope it didn't get worse)
Hi !
This issue typically occurrs with track layouts utilizing extended track physics as evidenced by the "surfaces.ini" file with the following line: WAV_PITCH=extended-0
Thanks for the tips, it is definitely that in my case.
I don't know for sure but it's like I'm wearing (dark grey) sunglasses ... Even at noon everything was just not bright enough (w pure filter), with the other one it's all good.

Now we just need an AI 3D-model generator.
I had this problems using the RARE verison of tracks and rules ON, when i disabled it and started using the normal tracks instead, it is now working normally and yesterday i did a race with the AI without any issues.
It does exist. But it wont do anything close to usable in AC in years, I think.
Could you make a screenshot with comparisons, because the pure ppfilter should be on the edge of "It's not too bright yet". So maybe there is something with the installation.I don't know for sure but it's like I'm wearing (dark grey) sunglasses ... Even at noon everything was just not bright enough (w pure filter), with the other one it's all good.
But then again the emitted lights on the dials was too bright in comparison (and that shifting effect of blue light on/off not to forget screwing with the readability even).
I urge you to try and compare yourself (w that Golf Tuned - and I hope you get your filter to look as good as the IV PureCS one, and we can then all just use your filter as the default/benchmark one.
After all your filter will be the very first to get updated if any new features in Pure warrants a change to the PP filter...
But I do think it needs to be fine out of the box (with the default values), and not that everyone needs to go fiddle and tweak the sliders to get it to look fine. (ps: if the values in blue are the default ones, then you have altered quite a few values it seems. So what you see is no longer what 95% of us see.)
For now I stick to the IV PureCS one... (also : not keen on using Discord esp to download a file - I hope you keep putting the files on Patreon for those of us not riding the Discord train.
Cheers and thanks for your wonderful contributions to this amazing sim!
I don't know why but screenshots are a no-go since I don't see anything on my screen when in-game (all black) , only have image in the VR headset (quest3 , usb3 link cable) ...

actually its the difference of ambient light V1 and V2. It seems the PureCS is still using V1, which just produces wrong ambient light. But in some situations this wrong ambient light is better for artificially making the scenery brighter.
Strange one. I started the practice with the none CSP version with only electric sound. I watched the replay and the engine sound was there. I then resumed the practise and the car engine sound and dashboard display was on. Must be some sort of CSP bug I guess.
If that's a hill you're willing to die on to defend, then so be it, but they do look better when used right. You're also never going to see another title from here on out use 2d X-Wing cardboard cutout trees, so if that's a deal breaker, you might be stuck using 10 year old Assetto Corsa for a long while. Not the worst thing to happen though I guess.Did you miss the giant houseplants ?
I'm still to see the first track being improved by adding treeFX tbh. They kill performance, look ugly, change shape, pop in....
1- I have never seen any tree IRL that looks like the commonly used 3d trees in AC, never.If that's a hill you're willing to die on to defend, then so be it, but they do look better when used right.

It says you're using a 1080ti. For triples? In this day and age. That's stretching that card out pretty thin. You could kill all pop in/shape change and performance drops by upping that guy right there.
I personally like 3d trees and think it's just a necessary step in trying to keep AC relevant in 2024. AC2 is coming, and so are the 3d trees.
Hi everyone, is there some updated link to this mod?
I mean if you're doing some simple club/grid filler liveries on a car that doesn't have any skins it's an absolute godsend, but otherwise I'd learn to paint in 2D on Photoshop for any actual replicas or high quality liveries of course lol.
