Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Pilot3331]

Did you already try to use BC7 dds files? Idk if that works for car skins, but it should generally working with CSP...

No, those 8k textures were not bc7. I remember reading here from Alguecool that bc7 is supported but there may be bugs with it. Im using gimp and its not offering bc7 export out of the box, maybe need some plugin. Thanks for input.

 

[CrisT86]

the latest version of CSP is a disaster full of bugs, v0.2.10 extended physics problem, v0.2.11 nvidia overlay problem, v0.2.12 loss of FPS in solo and unplayable online with CPU and graphics card not willing to work at more than 30-40%.

"v0.2.11 nvidia overlay problem" which kind of NVIDIA overlay problem? Didn't found time to test it yet (is the suggested free version to use in CM right?)

if the nvidia app overlay is enabled, the game simply won't launch (public and preview version)

Twice it has been omitted but do not fret as it has found its way to AC !

edit : BUT WAIT ! THERE'S MORE !

early and late spec front wing for the SA05 ! (and yes, they do project shadows, it's just CM being quirky again)

soon coming to my Patreon for only 69€ !!!! (I have to feed my 4 wives and their 12 children )

Stumbled across this thread as after I've played the console version of AC, I'd love to get the PC version of it someday, and I would just like to ask:

Knowing how it is theoretically possible to make AC the largest racing game ever in terms of sheer content, is it ever possible to like say, mod it with every car and track from the entirety of Gran Turismo and Forza?

Like at least GT4, GT7, FM4, FM2023 and FH5 combined would suffice.

 

[fleskebacon]

did you make most of the pattern up? or use the original? if you used the original pattern i would love to know how to extract it because i cannot at all

unfortunately i'm not sure what "alpha layer" means

I just used the original, which has some transparency you need to get rid of to reuse it properly. I'm on holidays now (im Denmark, near Jyllandsringen), will pm you some usable files when I get home. 👍

Thankyou so much for replying to me whilst on holiday, that is dedication. No worries look forward to hearing from you. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

I would say if you give it enough time every single car/track from every single game will eventually be converted.

@andrevr and @NivekBS thank you, yes thats the fella that had the Wix site I was looking for. Thanks for the Discord link, has his Mega link with all the championships 👌

You need the NVidia texture exporter tool.

Not to defend The Race Project, but you're criticizing and criticizing someone else's work, which, no matter how much you disagree with it, deserves respect. If you're more capable of taking a mod that was originally disastrous in every way (ACFL) and redoing it perfectly and flawlessly, why don't you do it and share it with the community? It would be fantastic instead of criticizing and slamming it. This isn't a polemic, but a suggestion. Because in the meantime, I assume you contributed to their Patreon to get it, or if you didn't get it from other sources.

 

[Gabriele]

Hi. I'm using Paint.net to modify a skin, but I don't know how to remove the sponsor stickers, race number, writing, etc. I know how to add stickers, but I don't know how to remove the original ones. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks a lot. 🙏

 

[menos | M6]

After a few years hiatus I finally had a chance to set up a simrig again.

Now having a fresh install of AC, CSP and Pure I have this strange problem I cannot solve) a few people in the CSP Discord seem to have it too since some time and it seems to be unresolved.

The standard switch headlights on/off does not work at all.

When mapping as well the bright lights on/off the behavior is also bugged.
When pressing the bright lights button, bright lights switch on (if no lights were on or if normal headlights were on) BUT ONLY when keeping the button PRESSED!

Switching the mode in the mapping screen (or in the mapping in game app) from toggle to hold or vice versa makes no difference.

Headlights do not stick and are completely bugged.
The best I can set up the game is using the auto switch headlights feature in the CSP settings menu so at least I am able to drive at night.

But there is no functioning control of the headlights now at all. It is completely broken.

Anyone know this issue and has a solution?

CTDP's work deserves respect. And no, I didn't get it from Patreon, I'm not one to pay for stuff that was made for free 15 years ago

You know what bugs me ? Hiding that behind a Patreon. That's the thing that sucks the most. Slapping 8k textures and adding useless animations does not deserve to be paid for lmao. And their skin pack ? More than half the skins are the original 2k ones that were free, ****ing lol

And some redone 8k skins were just repainted over the original so you have one part of the skin with AO applied (original) and the 'new' painted part is just plain, come on, at least try

I repeat, yours isn't constructive criticism at all. It's just a slam of other people's work, whether you agree with it or not. As you said, it's work from 15 years ago that needs to be updated to reflect current reality. There's work behind it that definitely takes time. Some people give it away, and some don't, just like you, you can decide whether or not to pay for a job. But again, don't badmouth if you don't do better than the person you're judging. This is my opinion. Have a good evening.

Do you have a link to the version of the car you used? Mine is absolutely ****ed for some reason....

 

[Masscot]

Try the pure ppfilter with all default settings in Pure Config and Pure PP app. Would be interesting if it looks ok then.

Also this is Pure LCS 2.60.
There was a big change with Pure LCS 2.35 and the skydomes.

@Peter Boese: after checking, wider shots of the track DO look like your images, but I think my perception about the extreme wet weather skyboxes looking a little bland (like normal overcast skies) is because the horizon (which is mainly what we see through our windscreens) is a lot lighter and less moody/dramatic than the sky directly overhead (which we can't really see in a tin-top). Seems like most of the drama is mainly hidden from view under normal driving conditions. Is there a way to move the drama more into our field of view by extending the moody clouds all the way to the horizon?

And guess what ? They look absolutely the same when you race lmao. Plastering 4 and 8k on a 2006 mod won't suddenly make it look better than a newish one.

And also using Kunos physics ? Tsss tsss.

(also, duplicate car for obvs reasons)

Oh, I see that, scary and really stupid.
What is the best way to reduce the KN5 file size?
Export everything with Content Manager, reconvert the image files, and then load it back in Showroom mode? Or use 3DSimED?
Any other options?

For those who have already downloaded the Maserati A6GCS Spider model (by Velos), here is the "1955 MilleMiglia minipack", which I intend to resume soon (my simulation), because due to the "bug" in my Assetto Corsa "HD" in February of this year, I lost a large part of the content, even some car adaptations (that I had made and skins).

I had an adapted Maserati Spider that fortunately will not need to be redone because Paul Williams (by Velos) made a sensational version. My skins are not perfect (because I don't know how to work correctly on the map), but they will be the ones I will use in the simulation soon (along with others that I will remake).
I used the only skin (MM55, car 631) included with the car (but adapted it to the standard of the others).It doesn't interfere with the original version in any way.

Neal here! Bout to drop a big one soon!

 

[monyx]

Notes: Based on Kunos GT3 RS etc with updated values, new power lut, sound from the 911 Turbo, some Cphys elements are used such as the brakes and tyre heating model. May have too much grip right now, but I am ball park withe the Sport Auto Nordschelife supertest time.

Well it tamed the back-end, I regularly spin out under power in VRDriving GT2 on corner exit or out of chicanes but did like the AI GT2 very much initially in my YT review. Front-end feedback seems very similar feeling (I am using Lenoob's Alternative FFB: Extended 1.6 CSP script on Simucube 20Nm Mige) lets me know of understeer and if I get over-steer on turn-in through carrying just bit too much speed, typical Porsche on the power to straighten it up on exit and save the corner. Can't but help feel maybe it goes too well...insofar as grip levels - but only ever so slightly. Appreciate your work - I signed up to VRDr AI initially, but come to realise something not quite right, more hype than reality I think - or the whole tech spec into AI just not achieving what is set out. Some better than others. Am a fan of Arch's physics, but most are on slippery stock OEM road tyres only.

This is my opinion. Have a good evening.

You want constructive criticism ? I think I already shared the pictures of the humongous KN5 with uncompressed textures that definitely don't fit with Kunos' pipeline. Or the shoddily painted 8k skins over upscaled 2K files... Or the carbon fiber texture that somehow is an 85mb file... Or the original CTDP skins tucked away in a skinpack that isn't free... Can I go on ?

The 'update' on CTDP's work is nothing more than upscaling **** for the sake of it and disregarding the overall quality of the product in the end. As I said earlier, upscaling textures and skins won't suddenly make it look modern, alas....

Anyways. Whoever pays for that isn't better than another guy paying for a SD mod, but hey, whatever floats your boat

edit : also for the price they're asking they could, at least, add the proper early and late variants of the F1.06 and not a weird mismatch, but what do I know lol

Oh, I see that, scary and really stupid.

Unpack KN5 -> see the big ass textures -> manually rescale with Photoshop -> open 3DSIMED -> copy and paste

You are defending thieves, thieves that charge money for stolen work, they are worse than simdream at this stage, and their cars arent even done that well. I paid for a one month subscription last year and was not happy with the ridiculous skin sizes, average physics, out of proportion models, and then i learnt they were just using other people's mods, updating them to how they like them, and then charging people... and yes, you can find their files on kemono and reddit, not worth giving them 1 cent for their crooked "work".

ACU Interlagos.

Add another amazing track that no longer works with CSP 0.2.11

Well it works. It races ok. But when the ai cars have time to pit, they drive staight to the concrete wall that is on the left of the pitlane 250 km/h.May they all rest in peace.

Tested version ACU 1.0. I tried another pitlane.ai from some other version. No difference. All crash.

Well I'm not an expert and can't say it's definitely the CSP. But a lot of tracks no longer work like they used to. It can be something else too. The cars pitted and raced without any problems for years at ACU Interlagos. Now they crash when pitting. I don't know what it is... but the old saying "don't fix what ain't broken" applies to CSP/CM/physics/whatever it is.

soon coming to my Patreon for only 69€ !!!! (I have to feed my 4 wives and their 12 children )

You're so clueless you don’t even understand the basic concept of having a Patreon. No one’s begging for money to feed four kids and a dying wife, it’s there to progressively support a project that's constantly evolving. I'm not reselling a lazy conversion without permission from the authors or something made 15 years ago, some people like to give away their time for free because that's how they think is worth, others simply don't, those skins are just extras and yeah they still can be downloaded from other sites I just organize it into each skin which obvs takes time. This is ongoing work that will eventually lead to rebuilding every car from scratch. There is a big difference in sdd making conversion without permission and just having whatever they did placed in a marketplace withtout updating a single thing, the mods made from me are with all proper permissions from the authors *if they are reachable, and I have every screenshot of the conversations with each one of them.

And since you say the original mod deserves respect, well, that’s exactly what I’m doing by preserving CTDP/ACFL’s work and improving on it. So instead of coming in this toxic platform to criticize others people work just by the sake of it or trying to “de-raceproject” the cars, why don’t you actually go ahead and improve the ACFL version from scratch yourself? would be very cool to see that.

The whole drama annoys me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much you guys have no idea.

I have enough about the whole discourse about the 2006 season mod, the whole patreon thing is endless discussion I find everywhere I go, I open discord First message I see is about this. I open Gtplanet same. Ever since ACFL took it that cursed season had drama between ACFL vs MSF, now it's the race project and the patreon. Yet in between nobody, NOBODY ever decided to pick up the work and redo it. Moore is right in a sense that ever since 2017, for more than 7 YEARS all we have seen is people saying "the 2006 mod is garbage" without any concrete effort to change the situation.


I'll make a 2006 CTDP full reconversion.

They also say ACFL 1994 mod is garbage too.

I've been playing thse F1 cars for years and always liked the 1994 ACFL. Amazing sounds, pretty challenging to drive, nice cockpits.

What there is not to like? The season I created is pretty popular.

Over 2000 downlods already... 6K views on the video too... plays really well... great races, no SD-type stuff cars sliding off the track etc. I created the TV graphics and imho they really add to the atmosphere and the 1992 tracks (mainly) are superb (with Thockard 1st class AI). Cars also respond very well to json created driver AI ratings. You can guarantee it's Schumi and Hill taking the poles and winning the races.

Sure... if you play these cars with garbage tracks (with slow, erratic fastlane) these won't perform well. If you want quality drive, you also need quality tracks (and fastlane). Car alone doesn't do the trick.

Over the years people have released so many half assed championships without even testing them... bad track combos... Also... what good does a "AC f1 championship" do if it doesn't have realistic race results or even work properly in some tracks? I had this trial and error phase which was frustrating but I've found the best way to create these... not perfect but very good.

Maybe this video created a few bucks to ACFL... I don't know the guy... I don't care. I don't get a dime... I don't WANT a dime. I have decent work, don't need money. I just want to play these games and share the clssic F1 passion with fellow AC friends. I have no other motivation.

I wish people just dropped the drama queen stuff. We are all improving AC and creating something that no other sim can ever do. Personally, I'd love everything to be public domain and the only common goal would be improving this "AC project". I think 95% of the community is exactly like that though.



I never even tried the 2006 cars as people say they're bad. Nice that you redo them. 2008 cars are very nice.
