Who hurt you?
Brave usually keeps OT in place but since I dload something like 2/3 mods per week lately I turned off the blocks.

Well, that joke didn't land, and I seem to have touched a nerve. Apologies.

Guys I still do not understand you why repeatedly polluting this thread, there is not problem when using a good free adblocker. Read the post from @slider666 below. If that is too difficult then use a free alternative web browser like Opera, DuckduckGo or Vivaldi. I did btw use a selective window that by selecting the irritated adv popup, is now always blocking every adv popup. I cannot remember if this is from Ublock origin or Adguard as I use them both, not only for Overtake, but also for the Youtube advertising.

I use uBlock Origin, the Moza ads are always present...

Import this txt file in your uBlock Origin dashboard, in tab "My filter" and you get this afterward:

No big Moza ads anymore ...

Edit: Here´s the "My filters" tab explained:

Dashboard: My filters

uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean. - gorhill/uBlock

github.com

I use and tested it with Firefox.

uBlock Origin seems to have lost some of its magic recently. I'm seeing a lot of ads, pop-ups, and scam tabs opening on most sites where previously there were none. Even YouTube on PC is full of ads now, but uBO had been successfully...

Merely a question after a reply with maybe too many angles, still waiting.

That GT-M Adonis V8 Evo has a very strange cockpit with super-shiny materials, and footwells that seem to be backlit.
Not one of RSS's prettier cars.

 

[Atticus]

It's such a shame RSS, VRC and URD couldn't get aligned on who does which car - now we have 2-3 Aston GT3s, Mustang GT3s and 3 Cadillacs, and zero McLarens or Bentleys (or post-C8.R Corvettes).

 

[MrLonguinha17]

What are the cars supposed to be doing? Are they jumping or sinking into the track? Does it happen to some cars only or to all of them? Which track is it?

Good morning, for me, only the Chevrolet Camaro on all tracks.

 

[StoffelWaffle]

Is Racedep on the fritz again ? Bah, nothing of value is lost anyway

McLaren is the next release for RSS. Bentley will be next year with the Nissan and Corvette.

From their Discord there is a toggle in the Extension for LCS or Gamma. Perhaps the default is the opposite of what you use?

# GT-M Adonis V8 EVO - Tip 1
You can switch between Pure Gamma and Pure LCS optimised materials in the car's extension/ext_config.ini file, changing rss_materials_gamma to rss_materials_purelcs and pressing Save

Thanks, but I already tried that. Shader values just seem a little weird. Maybe they tune the visuals for ExtraFX, which still doesn't work in VR.

A little track skin\config mod for the ks_nurburgring track. If you feel like trying it, make a backup of your track's extension folder first. This will overwrite your existing ext_config file.

ks_nurburgring_mod

The mod changes the tree textures and darkens the grass a bit. The skins are split into separate folders so you can pick and choose which parts you want to use. If you like all of them, feel free to lump them all into one folder (except for the Seasonal Trees and Live Displays skins). As usual, there is an optional vaos folder to eliminate some of the really dark areas under the trees. Although I found the default csp vao for this track is not as bad as on other tracks.

I have an updated version of my ks_nordschleife mod to match the trees and grass on this mod.. If you like how this looks, be on the lookout for it soon. I just need to double check some things.

Update to the mod to turn on the display boards on the TV trucks. Use the link in the quote to get the update.

I believe I setup the $'read("csp/version", 0) command correctly so that the TV's will display no matter which CSP version you use. Could someone who uses a newer version let me know if the TV's don't display. If they display but are too dark, you may need to do some self-adjusting in the config. I can't account for everyone's ppfilter of choice. Thanks...

Fix for the floating digits on the dash panel. An extra decimal point was needed for all of the Y-values.

I don't know if it looks different with ExtraFX on or not, but you're crushing a LOT of detail in the cockpit by having BrightnessAdjustment = 0.1 or 0.2 for a lot of materials configs.
The cockpits end up looking like those standard car cockpits in GT5, which were basically black silhouettes.
This is just a very quick 1-minute lightening of the dash, carbon and roll cage without too much thought, but it reveals all sorts of geometry and texture detail that was previously crushed. Who knew the roll cage wasn't just flat vanta black, but actually had a pattern and shape to it?

Spa 2022 Update

This is my take on the excellent Spa 2022 mod by guigui0256. I cannot stress enough how I take no credit for this what so ever. Please do not give me any credit or thanks for this. I did basically nothing other than fix a couple of technical issues with the treeline lighting and altered a few textures. I realize this is not a cool thing to do to alter someone else's work without permission. I did reach out to the creator awhile back about these issues and he said he was happy with the track so I don't feel like I am doing anything wrong. If he sees this and asks, I will pull it.

The download is rather large because it is a full track folder. I run the track as it's own separate track, not as an addon in the original Kunos Spa folder. Reason being, his extension impacted how the original Spa looked and I didn't want to change that so I made it a separate track. Sorry for the big download.

Spa 2022 Update


Spa 2022 Update to work with original Spa Folder. Won't alter the original track.

Spa 2022 Update for original Spa Folder

The mods have full support for all of Pyyer's Spa F1 and WEC extensions. In order for them to work properly, please follow the directions below.

1.) Install whichever version of the mod you choose to use.

2.) Install Pyyer's Spa extensions into the track folder. Do not drag them into the root 'assettocorsa' folder or they will not get installed to the correct location.

3.) Install the files in the included 'Files_for_Pyyer_extensions' folder and overwrite anything it asks.

View attachment 1205882


Notes:

-- If you want the sound effects back, open up the ext_config file and set the ext_config-audio section at the top to ACTIVE = 1. It does weird things on my system so I had to disable it.

Mod has been updated to the latest version. This update is only for the full track version (top link), not the 'Spa 2022 Update for original Spa Folder' version. The amount of changes was kind of impossible to make work for that version. I may give it a try some day. Use the Spa_2022_Update link in the quote above to get the new version.

Since it's a full track update, I would suggest you backup your existing spa_2022 folder first for safe keeping (assuming you have one). That way you can restore anything you have added that didn't come with the mod (i.e., ai lines, extra track skins, etc). Also disable and delete your existing skins folder. Then extract the new version and overwrite when it asks (don't use the CM install feature, do things manually). If you were using Pyyer's Spa extensions with the track, also extract the contents of the ' Files_for_Pyyer_extensions' folder and overwrite when it asks. I have not finished the F1 2025 extension edits yet. Be advised, I did not include his full extensions so you need those first. I only included a small handful of edited files so his extensions would work with this version of the track.


Notes:

-- The mod includes three layouts. The original Kunos Spa track with my grass, tree, etc. edits built in. The original Spa 2022 track from guigui0256 with my edits and a 2023 layout which is nothing more than the Spa 2022 track but with grass on the construction dirt area instead of dirt.
-- There are a handful of track skins you can try, but all of them are optional. You can run the track without using any of them if you prefer. All of them are self-explanatory as to what they do, but one word about the two Green Construction Dirt skins. The Green Construction Dirt skin only needs to be used on the 2022 layout if you'd rather see grass instead of dirt. The Green Construction Dirt 2 skin can be used with either the 2022 or 2023 layout and simply makes the grass a little less patchy looking.

Lastly, sorry for the hassle with the update. I know I said I was going to try and find and easy way to make the construction dirt green, but once I got started I decided to fix a bunch of other things that bothered me. In the end the update list got too extensive and required a full track update. Hopefully the changes are worth the hassle for you.

Several months on many sims, without playing AC1 that much. This is my conclusion how we could get the perfect sim.

Best driving simulator: Assetto Corsa (and it's not even close)
Best force feedback: Assetto Corsa, Automobilista 1, rF2/LMU
Most annoying flaws/issues: Assetto Corsa (lack of blue flag/outlap ai, lack of modern F1 rules, bad oval physics, no rolling starts etc)
Best kerb physics: Le Mans Ultimate
Best F1 game: F1 2020 (I absolutely love that game, superb, GOAT of all F1 games)
Best AI: F1 2020 (people argue that F125 but its rain AI is broken)
Best features in a sim: Automobilista 2 (rolling starts, good oval ai etc)
Best graphics: ACC / EVO? (actually I don't even care, they all look good enough)
Best driving GT3 cars: Le Mans Ultimate
Best rally game: Richard Burns (AC Rally when 1.0 is out?)
Most fun to play rally game: Dirt Rally 2 (my personal favorite, I know it's a bit arcadeish but it's so much fun)
Best online sim: iRacing
Most promising new sim: AC Rally
Most revolutionary sims: Geoff Crammond F1 games and RF1 set the standards for 10 years. RBR and AC1 set the standards for the next 10-15 years (still the standards which is sad).
Worst GUI/menus ever made: rF2 (I love the driving but can't use it because the menu system is horrendous)

Forgotten decent sims:

Raceroom (it's free now and after the update it's pretty good), Live For Speed (nobody remembers this classic, it drove well)

Conclusion:

If we could combine AC1's driving feel and FFB and modding possibilities with AMS2's features and iRacing's online system, AI from F12020, we'd have a perfect sim.

I'd love to praise EVO but I'm not feeling it... it's not bad but driving feels too much like ACC... AC1 driving feels so much more natural to me.

*disclaimer: Some people claim that F12021-2024 had even better ai, but those games were bad so I haven't played and tested them excessively. Either way, the ai is on completely different level in those games and all "hardcore sim developers" should be ashamed how atrocious the sim ai's generally are. AMS2 and LMU have half decent ai's.

What do you think? Is my list even close?

If I ever get around to doing it properly, sure. ATM it's just basic changes to three basic materials to reveal some detail. But values for me, in VR, using Pure LCS and the Pure PPF, might not be what fits you/your preferences and expectations/your display/your weather system/your PPF. Might be easier just to get stuck into the config and (for example) if you think the roll cage is too dark (spoiler: it is) then adjust the 'BrightnessAdjustment = X' to higher values (start with 1, which should reset them closer to the original textures, and adjust from there).
