Sometimes.
Indeed, yes, since updating to the latest versions, I've noticed that the gardener they have hired at CSP and Pure must be watering the lawns with water from Chernobyl, given the shine of the grass on some tracks...
If you look at the end of the revised config I uploaded for Aragon yesterday, the final entry is...
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
DESCRIPTION=anti-glow foliage
ACTIVE = 1
MATERIALS = shader:ksTree
PROP_...=ksSpecular, 0PROP_...=ksAmbient, X
Not poking the bear here, but why should it be one or the other? Why can't geotags and replay cameras and everything else that makes a track 'complete' also be included, especially in a paymod?
I would recommend to download and install Morisan´s 3d trees for fn_nurburgring v1.2. Could not stand these ugly cardboard trees any longer. I think Fenryr´s version is more accurate in terms of sponsor placement and updated buildings and foliage since it is an ACC convert which came up years later than the AC version. Both are laserscanned. The Kunos one is just outdated, I have binned it after Fenryr´s version. No need to keep it, but this is just my opinion. Now go ahead and bash me why I dared to delete vanilla Kunos content.
Thanks for the info. I don't think i'll bin the original just yet because i've modded the he!! out of it. The version I use no longer looks like the original. Too much time spent to just toss it.
To add something to this conversation, problem is that even AI is not good enough. I tested the Sprint layouts of Nurburgring with the VRC Super Tourers and they are ridiculously bad, even with 95-96 % of AI strenght set. I was like 5s faster than the second best AI...and +10s faster than the last dude. If the priority is the AI, I can´t see in this track.
Simply because each modder has different workflow and focus. And each has its own personal preferences. You like thin fences and cables and other like them thick, one loves replays, other doesn’t care. For some it means incomplete track for others its fine. One is certain that you can’t satisfy everyone. It’s your decision to buy or not bearing in mind version number. I don’t know any modder as responsive and flexible in vision as Shin who I truly admire. Truth is majority is unresponsive and paywalled. And as in life everything will have different assessment in light of what you compare it with.
Still better than them, but this time by "only" 2s
it doesn't allow to add it to any car mod (as I had hoped)... only if the car has ignition and starter already, you can simply re-assign the button for it...Use Extended Control app and change it to whatever you like!
But we aren't talking about preferences here, we're talking about glaring omissions, basics that are reasonably expected when a track is released. Especially one that people have to pay for before they can even test it and discover what's missing. Expectations are generally higher with paymods for obvious reasons, but unfortunately they often come up short when compared to mods produced with passion rather than for financial gain.
I only tried the Nords layout, but yes, I get stuck loading the track on the AI Spline part. The only way I got around it was to put my ai files from the Kunos version into the ai folder. Then at least the track loaded and I could drive it. Not sure what would happen if I tried to race though.
I'm pretty sure the popup lights are activated by those extra buttons from CSP in almost all of Jugee's mods
