New version of Sevilla Circuit is out!

• Added RainFX on the curbs
• Changed the texture for the grass area. In real life, at the inauguration of the track it was full of dirt, now green grass is being thrived. I updated the area with a satelital image from 2 days ago (from this very moment). Low quality but with GrassFX it looks decent and nice.
• Fixed UV map of Olive trees.
• Added Glass shader in the Pit building windows.

CSP is required for good visuals.

I've noticed that particularly with VRC Formula cars that my steering wheel LED's aren't sequential but they come on in groups of 5. First the 5 reddish-pinkish lights come on then the 5 blue ones. VRC support said that there is a way in settings for you to change it but I don't see how you can. They said I was on block-block style. Is there a way to change the LED's?

In general, if I want to adjust the colour/saturation/brightness/contrast of the grass generated by GrassFX, what's the best/easiest approach? I have had some luck simply adjusting the ground textures of the track, but there are probably other ways to Rome as well?

Try reinstalling the car and app manually, the led settings section missing from the advanced setup menu.

As much as i want VRC to do other stuff than boring open wheel cars(in my humble opinion they are some of the most boring cars to drive) i'm guessing they do it cause it brings in money.

I'd love for them to finish off their super touring pack and give us an proper E36, S40, Primera's etc but maybe the monetary gain isn't enough to justify modeling them and making physics etc

More BTCC are on the way.

darn, never noticed till now you mention it , but it seems GTPlanet shrinks the image.. when I download an image I posted it's no longer the same size (pixel-wise) as the original.

(left the original at 100% , right is the image from the website - which is significatly shrunk down)

@Fanapryde this does not happen when you post a png? (can you check pls - compare a download to original ,see if it's still the same dimensions) Thx!

EDIT: redacted (as it seems we can generate previews directly in PNG) Lets hope with PNG the pic is not reduced in pixel size when uploaded...
But it would be rather cumbersome, if we need to convert our previews to another format , just to pertain the same image quality ...

Hoping a site admin reads this , and says he/she will change a setting so that JPG's (and any image really) retains their full size from now on... 🤞

EDIT2: I'll conduct a test myself, as I figures out how to generate in png now

Also with PNG the image is made smaller!
I upload an image of 2044x1150 and when I download it again from this post, it's only 1200 x 676...

EDIT3: and when I upload a 1200x676 image it remains the same size after upload/download

TEST4: with JPG the same , 1200x676 remains 1200x676

so it seems anything beyond 1200x676 gets shrunk down to 1200x676

Is there a way to add crowd to Abu Dhabi? Feels a little soulless without em there

1.
You could edit the texture (as you have)
place edited textures in ./track_name/texture

or

2.
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT...]
ACTIVE = 1
MATERIALS = dirt_edge_01, grass? ; <---- replace with texture name
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.20 ; <--- higher is brighter
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.20 ; <--- lower is darker
PROP_... = ksSpecular, 0 ; <--- grass should always have 0 spec

or

3.
edit
assettocorsa\extension\textures\grass_fx/highlands.dds / generic.dds
place edited file in ./track_name/extension and adjust the path acordingly

You are going to have to take that up with creator, idk why they decided to do that tyre naming.

Jaguar has made some most legendary cars in history. Even XK and F-Type were still amazing. Now they make electric SUV's only. And I don't even want to say anything about their latest campaign. This is a family forum.


What happened?

Lack of buyers happened! They need a complete rebranding or they'll just go extinct. Half luxury didn't make it, so i guess they're going futuristic full luxury. But for the better or the worst, they have not sold anything last year, and what we witness is probably a last chance attempt at rebranding and getting some traction. Before, well, there's no Jaguar anymore.

I have CM set to PNG as default, find it looks better as I use a modified version of the transparent previews so they blend in with the CM ui

Thanks, will try, but from what I see the smoke doesn’t come from the tyres (better visible in replay)

EDIT: it does fix the issue...

What happened?

What happend? So sad that is, but legendary cars do not earn the big money of a company. The mass product makes Nissan seems to become the next prominent victim.

Hi Guys, I'm wondering if anyone can solve this issue that's suddenly started happening in the photos I'm taking.
I took this photo yesterday:

I took this one today, but don't understand why it all looks so pixelated:

I haven't altered any of the settings of the 'nice screenshots' in Content Manager, and have taken photos today with other car/track combinations, which are also pixelated.

I'm using the latest Content Manager, Pure LCS 2.35 and CSP 0.25 preview 1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the link for the Mini Pack (1980-1981), some prints of the cars and a preview of the Mini Pack (1979, we already have the Lotus 79 and the Ferrari 312 T4), for those who just want to have a little fun, don't mind with the perfection of official games.

They are just "simple" conversions, just some parts of the cars, that we have in other simulators but that Assetto Corsa gives a different "face" by virtue of being more current than rFactor and GTR2.

The number 2 method is what I was aiming for, seems to be the easiest approach. I find that many tracks have too bright grass, looking cartoonish. This time it was the 1973 Targa Florio track that bugged me, and it has a lot of ground textures, so using method number 1 as I've been doing would be too much work.

For that particular track, method 3 is also an option, as it uses its own grass_fx-texture file placed in the track folder already.

Thanks!

This is the issue ticket I have submitted to the CSP github page.If anyone has information on this I would be so very greatful.
https://github.com/gro-ove/actools/issues/123

When I am creating a skin or updating a material in CMshowroom,the raised/lowered effect from a normals texture is very different from what I see ingame.


I frequently have to flip the y channel and or rotate it to work properly ingame.(using the photoshop action located in Assetto Corsa sdk folder)


For instance gloves.If I export the normals texture from a set of gloves,ingame the results will be completely wrong.Raised where it should be lowered and vice versa.Inverting the y channel in photoshop will sometimes get it to react to light correctly but even then sometimes you have to rotate a channel to get the now correctly raised areas to render hilights and shadows from the correct direction.


Its a mess honestly.I have spent days just to get a clear handle on this and I'm still not certain I have it right.
Another example is the crewmans face.Incorrect rendering of the normals texture makes him look hideous in some lighting situation.(because the normals are fighting the AO)


I dont know which is correct,the game or CMshowroom,but I suspect the game is rendering normals textures incorrectly because it looks like Kunos knew they had a problem...hence the photoshop action they supplied in the sdk folder.


In one instance where I was creating a txNormal file from photoshop,It didnt work correctly til I first flipped the image horizontally then created the normals texture with the opposite y channel setting than what CMshowroom wanted.Then flip the resulting normals image horizontally again.This seems very similar to what the photoshop action performs on an already available normals file.


Its maddening trying to create things and not even know if you doing it correctly or if you will need to fix everything once the underlying problem is corrected.
Please help and thank you.

Does anyone know what's up with this new Goodwood Circuit (gt_goodwood_circuit) that's hit Breathe's list? Link:

gt_goodwood_circuit

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

www.mediafire.com

It looks like there's been a number of models (planes, stanchions and such) added, ambient audio added to the pit lane a la Brno, and changes made to the pit straight environment - but I can't find any info on what exactly was changed past that. I have been using racinjoe's excellent 0.99 touch-up as my default for years - was the original mantasisg one the base for this new version, or was the racinjoe version used? There's no author or version info provided in the ui.json.

It looks intriguing, but I'd like to know more before considering moving to this one - and if these changes could be ported to the racinjoe version, all the better.

Cheers to anyone who may know.

Thanks, that was the problem. When I originally downloaded the update, I didn't unpack the folder "AC Files" before installing. This time I opened that up and installed "apps" and "content" and the LED settings are in there now.

I know I've said this in the past but I'm getting increasingly frustrated with this whole sim racing genre. It's just too much info you need to know, computer stuff you need to know, and it's very tedious. It's just so far over my head and I get so angry that I can't figure things out quickly. Plus there's the physical problem it's giving me. I'm 59 now with a bad back. I bought this Fanatec cockpit rig a few months ago and I can't sit in it for more than 20 minutes or so without the right lower quarter of my back feeling like it's on fire. But it was the same before I got it with the portable GT Omega wheel stand and regular racing type office chair I had.

Don't get me wrong, when everything works, it's great. But I seem to have so many problems getting it to that great point. I'm probably only using about 60% or so of Assetto Corsa's capability because I just don't understand how it all works. I haven't updated Pure in a while because I don't remember how I did it the last time and I'm afraid I'll mess it up so bad trying that it will make the game unplayable.

Everyone here has been really helpful when I've asked how to fix my problems. That hasn't been the case other places. Some people have been incredibly rude and nasty when I've asked what I thought was a very simple question. But I suppose that's the way gaming culture is.

I just feel so bad that I keep having to ask over and over again for help. I'm sure the folks at VRC and RSS think, "oh no not another email from him". I desperately need a new home PC to replace my 10 year old one and part of me thinks I should take this one and strip all of the games off of it and just use it for home purposes. But I've also got many issues on that side of it I can't figure out either and need help with.
