You can override some (not all, it seems) encrypted data* by creating a folder called 'data_override' in the extension folder and putting whatever edited X.ini you want in there, thus leaving the original data.acd effectively untouched and therefore not borking subsequent loading on cars that use encrypted data as part of their overall encryption. Normally, editing the data.acd or leaving it unpacked afterwards means that these cars will crash during loading.
So for what we're trying to do, the process should (I think!) be:
1. unpack the car's data.acd
2. copy the car.ini from the unpacked data folder
3. create a folder called 'data_override' in the 'extension' folder
4. put the car.ini copy in the 'data_override' folder (still call it car.ini, not car.ini_copy or whatever)
5. delete the unpacked data folder in the main car folder so that the original data.acd remains untouched
6. edit the car.ini that's in the 'data_override' folder with the commented HEADER and extended physics entries, keeping the rest of the car.ini config as the original

I've not tested this specifically for disabling extended physics, but it works for other stuff I've tried.

*technically, ALL data.acd is encrypted. I'm talking here about additional encryption that some modders use to lock down their oh-so-perfect creations.

I've tested the "data_override" option with the URD Darche Cup 2021 to change the ingame name in car.ini from "Darche" to "Porsche" and to increase the brightness of the brakes in lights.ini. The ingame name doesn't change, but the brakes are really brighter. So I guess, that "data_override" does only work for ini-files, that do not effect the performance of the car like lights.ini or driver3d.ini. Otherwise you could use it for cheating in online races, e.g. by reducing the weight of the car in car.ini. The result is, that there is no way to deactivate the extended physics in cars with modder encrypted data.acd file, even if you can read the ini-files.

I've always had to edit the car.ini file to completely stop rain physics by commenting out one or both of these lines. Like you, disabling extended physics never seemed to work.

;[HEADER]
;VERSION=extended-X

;[_EXTENSION]
;RAIN_DEV=1

Got the idea from this VIDEO that I used back in the day to enable rain physics when they were new. I just did the opposite. The important part is near the end of the video.

later CSP's have the rain phys tied to extended-2 inherently so the rain_dev stuff is redundant now (for some previews now)

With PURE, is there an option to disable rain physics for all cars (including those that use extended physics) if you just want to occasionally drive in changing dry-wet-dry conditions without having to pit every few laps to change tyres?
The SOL planner had a little slider to make rain driving easier or harder by changing rain grip levels, but PURE does not seem to have this.
Some cars have dry grip even in torrential conditions, but others don't and are undriveable without changing to wet tyres, even with extended physics disabled in CM settings.
I know AC is a sim, but the option would be nice for occasional use. It must exist somewhere, surely?
@Peter Boese ..?

I know there's a way inside one of the cfg files to disable rain phys inherently (only for user not AI) but I can't remember for the life of me what it was

maybe try adding _EXT_RAIN_PHYSICS = 0 under assists.ini (assettocorsa/cfg). not 100% sure but I know there is a method to disable rain phys

Hello guys, is there any F1 2012 mod which is better than SD mod?
They get more and more horrible to drive in my opinion.

Is there any good F1 2012 mod out there or in the works??

i have one but really i don´t know where it is from.... or if it´s SD one ??? How do i recognize that? I do not have any SD mods, at least i don´t know i i have... :D

I thinks it´s ok, driveable. But nothing special by todays standarts.

This is gold! Now I can finally fix those floating digital_instruments on encrypted cars. Only tested 1 so far, but it works. :D

I'm sorry, I didn't understand, will they be public in the future or will they be paid? In the latter case it's not a problem for me to buy... thanks

no paid mods

The model is from total immersion racing

i know is not perfect (3D Model from Asoluto Racing)

Glad it helps!
Just remember, it's only necessary when the data is locked - more often than not, it's only the car model that's encrypted, and the actual data is freely editable.

EDIT : on picture you can really see how stupid the windscreen is on that car. the wiper cannot do anything in the view. And I even pulled it up, normally it is even lower/less useful...
Click to expand...
Because car had to have wiper back then, a passenger seat, trunk and full size spare tire :scared:

As far as I can tell the only somewhat racing version of that car is based on the pre production renders and is by RTM so it’s a pretty terrible representation all around.

The only game that has modelled the real racing version that runs at the N24 seems to be Asphalt 9.

Not sure if anyone even thinks it’s worth converting that model but it’s out there. And I guess that actually means I need to correct my stance lol. Besides the 458 GT3 this is another modern GT3 car we’re currently missing in the game, although it’s not homologated.

let's hope that instead of making the same car over and over (coff coff, Rekus Lux, coff coff) some studios would consider to give us a verison of this unicorn racecar...

Forgive me my stupidness but you easily can change the ingame name with CM?!

Look at it and tell me how the windshield is supposed to be useful, uh ?
Safety ? A 30km/h crash and it does a better job as a guillotine than a wind stopper.

I honestly hesitated to do it that way, still. For accuracy. But as historical pictures show it, they had trouble deciding which windshield type use in racing format.

So I went for a compromise of the 2. A proper windshield, but curved and bolted like the actual one. I think it did it justice anyway, just don't race in the rain with that thing haha
 
Hello,
Pease, can anyone let me know, how to get around this problem?
Car: Creative101 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2004
Problem: Windshield and windows are very opaque in-game, but ok in cm showroom.
CM 0.2.2 / Pure 0.235
