SL 63 AMG Race Car (The Crew2 Touring Car)

first look

 

[GT3Masters97]

Maybe I've decided which one will be chosen for fourth place in the pack

 

[The Vampire]

Anyone got any inside info on when IER’s new car is due to drop? I had heard it was awaiting a CSP release (which has since occurred).

IER P13 — IER Simulations

www.iersimulations.com

Will happen when CSP 0.2.3 goes public, there was only a new preview version of CSP 0.2.3 released.

 

[RicME85]

there's a 1998 Ferrari F300 and a McLaren-Mercedes MP4/13 both by "Virtua Simulazioni, Updated by Ponz" (no version number)

Both are pretty nice, sound and drive well... but the Merc does have floating digital instrument texts (prob only issue when you use VR).

edit : There's also a 1998 pack for sale here , but I haven't bought it ... so can't say if it's good.

That is the SD pack

Hi everyone.

So, I have a GrassFX issue at Silverstone when using Pyyer's F1 2023 extension. Grass appears on top of some of the outside curbs. Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

 

[Teddie]

Hi Teddie! Check the driver3d.ini in the cars data-dir. There should be lines like this:

[HIDE_OBJECT_0]
NAME=DRIVER:HELMET

[HIDE_OBJECT_1]
NAME=DRIVERriver_Body_SUB0

[HIDE_OBJECT_2]
NAME=DRIVER:GEO_Driver_FACE

But of course without knowing what car your are talking about, I cannot tell you what is missing. Of course you also can move your "head" a little bit forward to avoid seeing the glasses, but that is just a bad workaround.

in CM Showroom , you can go to car tab and click the checkbox to show driver...
then you can go 1 step back (clicking the arrow left ) and then click on the driver part that is visible, then you get the name of the mesh you need to enter as NAME in the HIDE_OBJECT_ sections (above example).


For completeness, in case
- you cannot unpack the data.acd file (encrypted mod) so you can't recreate the data folder and change the driver3d.ini file
OR
- you do not want to unpack / repack the data.acd file because you wanna be able to join online sessions with this car

you can add in a ext_config.ini file something like:

[DRIVER3D_MODEL]
NAME=driver_no_helmet_cuir ;your own choice of driver
POSITION=0.0,0.0,0.0

[DRIVER3D_HIDE_OBJECT_0]
NAME=DRIVER:HELMET ;the object you do not want to see in FPV

[DRIVER3D_HIDE_OBJECT_1]
NAME=DRIVER:GEO_Driver_FACE ;the object you do not want to see in FPV

this will overrule the driver selected by the author , and hide the parts in FPV which you want...
Cosmetic changes like driver etc. do not affect the performance and should be OK to change even for online use.

Analyse the car, then one-click to fix the driver parameters where prompted.
You may need to unpack the car data first.

Guys, thanks much for the help. I'll try this out tonight. They're not encrypted, so I should be good. Although I've never raced online in AC. Do we have an online racing league for GTPlanet AC bros and sistahs?

the 1998 Mod is just a poor F1 Challenge/Rfactor Conversion . For that money you get probably R-Factor 1 and download for free the F1 1998 Mod from GPTEAM , including Seasons from 99 until 2013

 

[Teddie]

I've had these GATC cars for years now... I was going to set up a custom championship but cannot find any info on 'GATC' as a motorsports series.

I know the car names are made up (like VRC and RSS do), but do these cars represent a racing series in real life? I tend not to create "fictional" championships, so I'm hoping someone knows what exactly these cars are supposed to represent in the real motorsports world.

Help the old man out if you have info. Thanks.

Hi everyone.

So, I have a GrassFX issue at Silverstone when using Pyyer's F1 2023 extension. Grass appears on top of some of the outside curbs. Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

Let me see if my patreon account is still active for him and if so, i'll download the extension and fix it for you.

EDIT: Little bit of a problem. It's not his extension that's the issue. It's the way the track is setup by Kunos. Those meshes are marked as a grass material so when you setup the grass_fx to spawn grass on the grass material, those curbs spawn grass as well. Typically you could occlude those meshes from the grassfx, but they are a part of a bigger mesh that includes some actual grass areas. If you occlude that mesh, then some grass areas won't have grassfx. I'm going to have to make an addon kn5 file that separates the meshes into two parts, one for the curbs and one for the grass areas. Then I can occlude the curb meshes.

I'm not sure to have understood right the issue, but by set this values

MASK_MAIN_THRESHOLD = 0.75 ; how saturated (with green) should the surface be (not real saturation, could be more than 1)
MASK_RED_THRESHOLD = 0.01 ; offsets target color from green to yellow and red, if set high enough
MASK_MIN_LUMINANCE = -5 ; minimum luminance to spawn grass on
MASK_MAX_LUMINANCE = 2 ; maximum luminance

you can determine how and where let the grass spawn on meshes that may can include in one grass, roads and gravel at the same time.

The value above are the standard i use in all my configs.

How can I adjust the mirrors on T-cam view? There´s no problem with them in cockpit view, but I want to drive with T-cam and mirrors look like this

Mirrors are right. With the cam so high is normal to not be able to see the back of the car. You need to use the virtual mirror in order to see back

I will try that and see if it gets the grass off the curbs. Thanks for this before I waste any time trying to separate meshes.

@giorgos_nes

Give this a try and see if it helps. Don't worry, it only replaces one file from Pyyer's mod and I included the original that you can rename to go back to how it was before.

ks_silverstone_grassless_kerbs

If you'd like to use this for the base track (because the kerbs on the stock layouts spawn grass as well), there is a folder in the package named 'extension_file_for_regular_track'. Here's where it gets a little confusing. If you already have an extension folder with an ext_config file in it, copy the code from my included file and paste it at the bottom of your current config. If you don't have an ext_config file already, just copy the one I included to the tracks existing extension folder.

I'm not sure I matched the kerb brightness correctly to how it was before, but you can mess with the shader values to adjust as needed. If you are not sure what I mean, just send me a PM and i'll explain it.

Thank you both @racinjoe013 and @CrisT86 for your answers and help! I ll try everything later today and I ll let you know about the outcome.

wait what? data.acd can be encrypted now? I thought csp devs said they didn't want to do it because nothing justify encrypting data.acd, it doesn't contain manufacturer data worth protecting.

Did you tried tweak the values i provide above? Because they are standard for my configs, but this doesen't mean they can work fine for that particular case. To be honest i need to check it, but i stopped using Pyyer extension, since every update i was forced (on my side) to redo from scratch all the night lighting because always overexposed for my PPFilter and for other reasons which is quite disappoiting because he did an awesome work. Didn't tried latest versions, so maybe he completely changed all now, maybe if i will find time, i will try them.

Technically, data.acd was by definition already encrypted.
CSP then enabled decryption into a data folder.
And then allowed encryption again with new protection.

It's not a Pyyer extension issue. Those kerbs spawn grass even on the stock layouts. I did try your values and unless I put them under the wrong grass_fx heading, they did not work. The CSP config has a confusing grass_fx section so it's possible I placed them under the wrong entry.

Thanks for the info. I might have to break my rule and create a 'fictional' championship for these. They look interesting.

i'm not saying is a pyyer error, i said i can't test the solution because i don't use pyyer stuff anymore since i don't want to update them all the time an update get released.

Anyway, i didn't noticed that issue on stock configs but i'm pretty sure that there's a combination of values that fixes that GrassFX issues, but i have to check it because i can't remember right now.
