Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Masscot]

New Pure 2.57 development update is available.
One new feature worth high-lighting (for me anyway) is:
"new "mountain" shader, improves skydomes look in foggy sceneries (Pure LCS only)"
Mountains are hard to get right and look real. This feature looks fantastic. "Hello Fuji!"

Thanks @Peter Boese

Just tested at St Croix which often seemed to have duck-egg blue distant mountains, and indeed they now seem fixed. But I can't remember if I did something to the fog settings a while ago to already mitigate this. Anyway, fingers crossed..!
Something I've been meaning to ask @Peter Boese for a while but keep forgetting: on a weather slot such as 'Broken Clouds', default settings have a Rain Probability of 10%, but with Rain Wetness set at 0%. This means that it can be visibly raining, but no raindrops at all hit the windscreen, which can look quite odd. Raising Rain Wetness to anything above zero, even 0.x%, starts to make some drops land on the glass. Shouldn't Rain Wetness have an appropriate value more than zero if Rain Probability is also more than zero?

at the moment there is a problem with switching to the mod TRR_LMH_aston_martin_valkyrie_amr-lmh
but it doesn't have a data folder or a drivetrain.ini file

yeah, think the car is encrypted -.- no chance to create previews either

Which is a shame...

Look for
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION= shadows cast on white lines
MATERIALS= groovesuzuka, groovesuzukalayouts
BLEND_MODE = ALPHA_TEST
IS_TRANSPARENT = 0

Delete or disable the entry (ACTIVE=0) This should help.
This is a so called shadow fix for rt tracks. I didn't noticed any disadvantages disabling it.

Thank you, I'll try when I get home this evening 🔥

So I did a bit of digging about the speedometer because it depends if it is analog or digital as to how you sort it out. If I'm right the dash is as per the picture below? I managed to find a video which I presume is the FSR car that shows that the dash doesn't work. Being an analog it will require a dummy and physical needle to work properly, after that its just a bit of fiddling numbers in analoginstruments.ini to sort it out. Not sure if the model already has a dummy and needle in it.

You can also add the digital info as well, but that requires a dummy too. So some model editing will be needed.

Unless someone has a better idea...

Yeah, thats the gauge cluster for it. There's two meshes for the needle. interior_panel_18 (Needle) and interior_panel_14 (base). I do remember editing the analog_instruments.ini to get a gauge to work for another mod a couple years back. Yet, when I try for this one, it don't work.
[SPEED_INDICATOR]
OBJECT_NAME= interior_panel_14, interior_panel_18
ZERO=0
STEP=1.45

I know STEP controls the angle from 0 iirc.
Now the digi gauges on the sides, I don't have enough experience for that yet. Got lucky with the Android auto thanks to a tutorial and a long night of fidgeting with numbers.



Also, if anyone is interested about the android auto, here's the numbers I got for that in my config.

//////////////////////////
Android Auto
//////////////////////////

[INCLUDE: android_auto/config.ini]
[Display_AndroidAuto]
Meshes = interior_panel_10,interior_panel_12 ; display mesh
Resolution = 665,720 ; texture resolution
Size = 650,247 ; size of the screen area
Offset = 2,467 ; left top corner of screen area
Scale = 1.3 ; might need adjusting to get the scale right
RearCameraPosition = 0, 0.25, -2.5 ; position of rear view camera
aftermarketComponent = 0

 

[Valyul]

Try this (add internal windscreen material name) :

;to remove road reflection from internal glass
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE = 1
MATERIALS =
SHADER = ksWindscreen

For some reason, for his car, your command only changed the shader after I deleted what he suggested. So, I combined both indications. Thx

I just (over the weekend) downloaded the newest versions and installed them in sequence.
As @Rivanov says, he has smash-merged the older 2019 and 2022 version into one, now simply Melbourne.
It has 2019 and 2022 layouts, and I've added his 2024 and 2025 layouts as well.

On my system, 2022 has flags with no animation, 2019 has flags with absolutely minimal animation, 2024 has poles without flags, and 2025 has flags with proper animation.

¯\(ツ)/¯

The flag addition I made over the weekend is for the melbourne_2019 version from ACU. I believe (but could be wrong), the 2019 version Pyyer puts in his Overtake download is the ACU version of the track. So my flags addon should work with that. The 2022 layout he includes looks like it's not even a finished track. The banners and walls are just a green color and the road texture looks terrible. Maybe he's updated it since then and it's only available on Patreon. That one definitely has no flag animation at all. That's why I was considering making the flags animated. I thought it might work for people using his 2024 and 2025 extensions. Sounds like he did it for 2025 already, but not 2024.

 

[RedEye Racing]

Hello! Is there any way to change or reduce these darker areas between the trees?

Thanks

 

[24H]

anyone knows where to find that showroom?

It's the ACC showroom, Converted by JavireTwo, Can't find any link for it as the discord link is dead.

 

[chas1723]

I don't want to reopen the discussion about duplicates created between modding teams, but who knows when we'll see a 720s or a Nismo GT3. 😟

both are being worked on by RSS. After the 296, it seems like the nismo is next in line for them. The 720s also has been rumored to be getting the extreme version of it along with the GT3 homologated one.

 

[chas1723]

The Aston Martin is binned since the pictures

nope...it is back in the pipeline

 

[sDmD13]

has someone here maybe bridgestone tyres for the vrc na 1999 cars?

Anyone knows from which game the Fenryr version is?

RSS have canned the amg bentley and mclaren time attack/extreme versions too.

I stand to be corrected but I think you should only have 1 object as the speed indicator in analog, in your case the interior_panel_18, so we remove the 14 from that line and that should help to begin with, otherwise it looks right.

Digital is nicer in that you can adjust in "on the fly" in AC, without having to go in and out of the game. A good basic tutorial for that is here

The only tricky side with digital is you can have "floating" numbers (see the post StoffleWaffle posted a few pages ago about my Indycar having a floating gear number), so you just need to watch that.

The list of default digital items you can do is as follows, there may be more with CSP:
GEAR
SPEED
RPM
MAX_RPM
MAX_SPEED
RPM_GRAPH
FUEL
CLOCK
LAST_LAP
PERF
LAPTIME
TC_LEVEL
TURBO_BOOST

Damn, that's quite a lot of options, I'll look into it. Changing the script worked like you said, yet it seems that the pivot point (Dummy location?) for the needle is off. Not sure if that can be adjusted without having to open 3D software. Sorry for low quality screenshot.

Hmm yeah I'd only know how to fix that in Blender. It would be the dummy location yes. Its not hard though. You could add the dummy for the digital stuff while you were about it.

 

[holden0335]

Seems like the paint is set to "transparent"?

Hello. Ok, thank you. Do you think it could be a setting I accidentally touched in Content Manager or a corrupted file that is wandering around in my assetto root folder? What should I check? I tried another car and only the mechanic was transparent. Could it be a filter? Depending on whether I activate the pure or natural mod ppfilter, the game has a metallic appearance and the colors are saturated. I tried another preset from a friend and I have the same result.

EDIT: RESOLVED/ WAS PURE 2.57
I reinstalled a previous version and it works fine again.

Help needed

I set the AI Boundarys for my selfmade Track with AI Line Helper. But still the AI goes off in two corners. How can I avoid them being this suicidal?

Never seen the Fenryr version. What makes it better?

It’s more up-to-date version.

 

[StoffelWaffle]

Saw TheRacingRats have been upgrading the LMU ports made by FSR, someone even made the cool WTR IMSA skins but these weren't really realistic (lack of metallic and chrome effect) so I tried to upgrade 'em a bit - which was hard without having the original PSD to work with, but hey, gotta get creative every now and then eh ?


#40 WTR

(This one was particularly boring to modify lol)

#10 WTR

Release soon(ish)

[Fanapryde]

At least the absense of these disgusting 'lion head' palm trees: or is it Bob Marley after a bad trip ?
Even Pyyer keeps this as a base for his extensions...

The Fenryr version palms are better, but too low. Best ones atm are ChiquiFreaky's imo:
