Hi everyone! Can anyone help me with this problem? After updating to the latest version of PURE (2.57), the game looks like this and Pure Config doesn't work. I've already tried reinstalling everything, but that didn't fix anything. I've also tried deleting the weather_fx.ini files, but that didn't work either. Also, when I select Pure Gamma in Weather FX and enter a race, when I exit, the Pure Gamma option automatically changes to Pure LCS. Finally, the FPS drops drastically, never going above 13 or 15.

Please watch the install video and install it exactly like it is shown there. You must use 7zip app and its Extract button!!!
Don't use any other methods to install Pure!!!

Don't usually do things like this, but I just spent the better part of the last two days wasting my time re-sizing and re-saving car skins and i'm a bit frustrated.

Do car skin makers understand the concept of files sizes and GPU memory?

I noticed in MSI Afterburner that I was pushing past my 8gb of GPU memory and thought it was something I did when modding a track. Turns out it was the car skins and I wasn't even using that big of a field. Only about 25-30 cars. I started to look through the skins folders and noticed some really huge file sizes for the textures used in most of the skins. Some of it was due to larger than needed texture resolutions for silly things like chasis AO's, tyre blur textures, NM files, etc. Most of it was due to choosing the wrong dds format when saving. There were files saved in a dds format that made the file size 4 times bigger than it should be. Thankfully after a massive amount of time spent, i'm back down to 5-6gb of GPU memory for a field of 30-32 cars.

OK, rant over..... :)

Greetings all, thought to share some news about a neat car-mod I've come across... On the physics-side, it handles quite realistic on just about any street/race circuit...

However, the downside is that it's encrypted, but it's a keeper.
View attachment 1440398

To that end, I've began to do some random liveries for it - without the proper AO mapping - cause it's encrypted dah!
View attachment 1440399

The issue (for me & others) is that liveries will not have AO applied.

def: In 3D computer graphics, ambient occlusion (AO) is a shading and rendering technique that simulates how light falls on an object, particularly in areas where surfaces are close together, creating a more realistic look by darkening creases, holes, and intersections.

Questions are the following:
1. Anyone have the unencrypted version (paidmod) so that the AO mapping can be shared?
2. Can the AO be applied via ext_config instead?

mod-source:
igna15workshop.gumroad.com

BMW M3 E46 N-Spec

This mod is a tuned and improved version of my friend Yuki M3 E46, who is happy to allow me to share this mod to the world.The goal was to make a track inspired E46 M3. Therefore it’s got functional aero, CSL steering rack, coilovers and semi-slicks. Two different engine setups are available...

Thanks a bunch for any feedback provided.
Happy racing!

UPDATES:
A generous thank-you to @ninezeroniner, @andrevr, @24H, @Masscot and @Fanapryde - for their collective assistance & contribution towards getting this AO MAP fixed, and the additional shift.ksanim file...

NOTE-1: This mapping may look OK to the naked-eye but there are some areas which are stretched and skewed -which ruins the decal-look.

The liveries workflow continues, here's an update thus far.

NOTE-2: further ingame testing and nip-tucks are still required to ensure that decals used are in proportion to the size of the car.

EDIT:
Forgot to include an image of the numberplate that will be included with the liveries. Based on the ext_config that's in each skin-folder, this numberplate will show in the rear.

Happy racing!

For those interested (to improve racing performance) and who don't want a program that's tedious to use, I use "XnConvert". This program will modify most textures in the format or resolution of your choice.

I'm not an expert on texture skins in car mod folders, and I'm sure there are plenty of other programs to do this kind of texture work.

A simple drag and drop of textures from a skin, anything from (for example) 2016_Gloves_DIFF, 2016_Suit_DIFF, 2016_Suit_NM, ac_crew, and many others...

Once you've chosen the conversion parameters, just press "convert," and this program does the job well.

P.S.: I'm not promoting them, just what I use regularly and find very useful.

A fairly simple program that requires little knowledge to use.

Ps. 2: This message is for people who aren't familiar with this type of program (I know that most people here are much more experienced in modding than I am and use other methods).

Hey, thank you for the tip. You can convert an entire skin folder at once, saving hundreds of MB. Do you know what could be lost doing that?

Hi guys,

I'm in the process of sorting out my AC. I started with the GT3 vehicles from 2006-2010. There are no vehicles from Kunos for this period, but there are some mods. Many are of poor quality, some acceptable others really good. An example of really good vehicles are the GT3s from DaWallace. Unfortunately, however, the vehicles are always more on GT2 level and clearly too fast compared to the originals. Because I don't want to manage everything via the CM BoP, I started to modify the data. I started with the Mosler MT900R GT3.

These are the changes I made:
1. power.lut:
514 bhp peak power @ 5900 rpm
675 Nm peak torque @ 4800 rpm
Considering 15% drivetrain loss

2. engine.ini
Set LIMITER=7200 rpm instead of the original incorrect value (7920 rpm).
Changed COAST_REF RPM from 7400 to 7200 rpm.
Reduced TORQUE from 110 Nm to 100 Nm.

3. car.ini
Changed INERTIA=1.5, 0.85, 3.8 (was 1.8, 0.9, 4.176).
Reduced FFMULT=1.7 (was 2.0) to avoid FFB clipping and create smoother steering feel.
STEER_ASSIST=0.6 for comfortable and stable steering around center.
MAX_FUEL: Adjusted from 125 liters to 100 liters.
TOTALMASS=1435 (Belcar Spec: 1360 kg + Fahrer)

5. tyres.ini
Front tires: Corrected to WIDTH=0.300 m, RADIUS=0.325 m, RIM_RADIUS=0.165 m
Rear tires: Corrected to WIDTH=0.310 m, RADIUS=0.355 m, RIM_RADIUS=0.165 m.
Tire specs now exactly match: Front: Michelin 30/65-R18, Rear: Michelin 31/71-R18

I based the data on the information available on the net from Rollcentre and Supercars.net.

The result is a vehicle that has lost none of its brute force and driving pleasure, but which is much closer to the times that were actually achieved in Spa 2009, for example.

My thanks go to DaWallace for this fantastic vehicle. My modifications are only a suggestion to all those who would like to use the Mosler together with other GT3s.

Normally, nothing is lost if the correct options in the settings are chosen before converting the textures.A basic example: if you convert without changing the options, it doesn't replace the textures; it adds __result to the texture name. For example: 2016_Gloves_DIFF__result. You had to remove the __result to get the correct name.I did this at first, and once I understood the program, I changed the options to directly replace it with the same name as the mod's original texture.For example, replace: 2016_Gloves_DIFF with 2016_Gloves_DIFF like the original.And yes, thanks to this little program, it saves a lot of time when converting all the textures in the same folder.Note: If you're afraid of making a mistake, make a copy of the car's skins folder before using this type of program.Personally, I can't do without it anymore; I use it for all games that require texture modification.
 
I have made quick thrown together extension edit for the legion 2 stroke v12 powered Lotus 23. This is for a 2 stroke smoke effect for some immersion. Might need still need a little tweaking but I think looks close to videos of the real car. Pick up the car from Legion and then get the excellent new skin from Danelcoppo on Overtake.

Hi :confused: Here's a contemporary livery for Legion's Lotus 23B Rotorvic. (perendinator > /2024/04/lotus-type-23-23c-versions-20240410.html) I couldn't find a good photo of a historical livery, so if anyone finds one, please send it my way. Sengue.

Download my attached file (paste into car extension folder, replace orginal) then enjoy some 2 stroke smoke!

Edit - Since posting this I have noticed the original mod exhausts flames are defaulting too high compaired to photos of the engine of the real car, will look at editing the data flames file to match my smoke placement later this week.

Finishing the tests (free practice), for the BOAC - 1000km Brands Hatch 1970 (grid of 30 cars with what we have).

I tested 11 different cars individually (to check an approximate BoP), I think it was more or less good.

In the following 3 videos,
  • Ferrari 512s Spyder
  • Porsche 917k
  • Matra Ms650

Had times close to each other as in the real race (although the qualifying times would have been a little lower), it all depends on the track conditions and opponents getting in the way.

Hi,

Not that I know all and I have no magic wand or something, but did you upgrade to latest CSP (might be cause?) and have you tried a different PPfilter? Other than this I don't really know to be honest (Am on Pure 2.57 myself too) not using CM though and have no problems.
Click to expand...

Yes, I have updated to the latest version as well but there are no changes. It's weird because before updating it worked fine. I've tried a wide variety of PPfilters. None of them have worked.

unsure if the following helps... need to make an 'activation' choice. I chose the last option and all is OK.

I did, but it didn't work, what strikes me the most is that that particular window flickers a lot when I open it, as if it wasn't working well. I've had this problem for days, it's driving me crazy.

I've never had a problem doing it with winrar, but I guess it must be some issue that has been triggered when upgrading to Windows 11. I'll try it this afternoon, thank you.

PD: Sorry for the double post.

Hi everyone, I will try to ask a clear question :

can one make a light of the car dashbord like that of the gasoline but for the light "light", invisible in normal time but to turn on when light to turn on?

Thank

If I understand correctly, you want the light emitted by the dashboard to illuminate the immediate surroundings?

I wish it to be unseen when the lights are off and visible and bright when they are on .

Thanks

Well...it's kind of obvious. When the light is off, it's not there)))))))
