I had the same issue but it is also related to some windshield shader materials : the Shelby cobra ie have a tiny glass that erases the ground shadows on some cars, with some shadow settings.
Thanks for the quick response, pal! I'll take a look, thanks. 😍
I can't seem to find that one at least under the name Alpha89, searching for it mainly brings up dead links from when it was up on Overtake.
Unfortunate, the Buick and Olds were the two I was most hoping for. I've been meaning to try porting a car to learn more about modding, maybe I'll give that a go eventually.
Definitly CSP related. I had this as well, and it's so uncanny you can't just ignore it 😂. It needs to have a sticker post, 'cause we had this issue fixed and discussed a long while ago (CSP 0.2.1 to csp 0.2.4 or something like that). If you pinpoint the issue, write it in bold so we get it in the search results, i'm absolutly sure i will encounter it again at some point.
Happy New Year mate! Btw, i got the inputs working and managed some new attacking behaviors, if you wanna betatest the next update 😉
Zin5ki's cars are probably the only choice, but they are mostly old models. Worth checking out, if you haven't done so.
I can recreate the situation in overcast weather. Some windshield materials just hide the shadows (here showcased with the Shelby Cobra).
I posted this 5 months ago but I will post it again (regarding the AC ai) because it's interesting.
When you build a season around just one or two base cars (and use like 10 team skins) you will get superior AI. Always. That's why 2002 (1 base car), 1998 (2 base cars), 1990 (1 base car) 2004 (1 base car), 2005+2007 VRC (2 base cars) drive so well and the season is so stable and realistic (result wise).
Whenever you add base cars (like have a full grid of all teams) you get much more variables and potential issues of the race / season stability. That is just a fact.
ASR 1991, 1992 and 1993 are so high quality that you don't get many issues. But generally this is the case. I've noticed this because I tinkered these seasons for years.
I understand the attraction of having full grid of individual cars but when you play the season you only control one car anyway. And with careful driver aggression/AI skill adjustments you get the best season results and the exact same "genuine season feel". You have the correct helmets, car skins, gloves, etc. What does it matter if the AI controlled cars are based on the same car as yours?
I never got much success with Content Manager grid presets. They reset randomly and will not give consistent results in the full season (at least I never got them working).Using championship JSON files gives perfect and consistent results (well as perfect as AC allows them to be).
Overall I'm quite surprised how little attraction there is to play the authentic season modes (generally). I think most people just hotlap or play individual single races. I only play seasons. I never understood why people want "as realistic grid as possible" and then they play career mode with Joe Blow which is total fantasy stuff.
So once again, if you forget the blue flag / QF outlap issue, the ai CAN be very good.
This is a repost from my actual 2002 season that I finished. I drove with Montoya against Rubens and Schumi at Monza (ai 97 and 100).
This is not to say "Look I made this ai so good with my great settings". I didn't do SQUAT. Just made the 2002 Eurosport graphics and gave these drivers and cars correct values so that they respond as realistically and consistently as possible. Watch these laps and tell me, can you see the positives.of the ai behavior and get my point? And could this be the result of Content Manager AI tweaks too, because the AI is actually very good. Not as good as F125 which actually has utterly superior AI but I wouldn't call this "bad ai" by any means. Sure the ugly blue flag issue comes up when you have full length races but it works great with 20 lap settings because you won't get many backmarkers if the driver values are properly set up.
PS: My 2002 season ended like this
1. Schumacher
2. Barrichello
3. Montoya
4. Ralf
5. Kimi
I would say it was pretty realistic outcome.
More details in the video description.
And last: Some of my seasons have over 10.000 downloads but I rarely hear any feedback of them. If you have played them, what kind of experiences you've had? Yes I know the SD based seasons aren't that great but we don't have other 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1988 cars available. But I would say even they are playable and semi-decent after making radical changes to the crap SD cars.
Any recommended tracks for these cars/series?Zin5ki's cars are probably the only choice, but they are mostly old models. Worth checking out, if you haven't done so.
The Porsche 924 GTP by TonySS is nice, and F40LMLover's Ferrari F40 Comp is awesome. Greg's 300ZX looks good, but it doesn't drive well for me.
I edited my message for more details, have a look just in case!
Does it have any Cockpit_HR in it?
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE = 1

Monthly? update to this thing, I have now reached 2170+ real liveries for the spreadsheet, Pretty sure i added 500+ liveries give or take since the last update. Still plenty to go trough
. would say that it would make me go koko even more. So i'm going to ask for help if anyone is willing to help me with that. 
maybe this is what you looking for
In addition to Flesk's list you can race these on Tamiami Park, Meadowlands Grand Prix and Niagara Falls - all from shin. It's surprisingly fun to wrestle these beast along walls on such tiny tracks

hiya Martin, it's been a while - nice of you to pop in now & then, hoping you're also well & living it up with the extra time in your hands (missing your F1 update-mods - many thanks for your lasting contribution).
I too feel fed-up with the lingering bugs (maybe CSP is getting too big to keep up with the many changes & new features...) keeping it simple would be ideal (KISS comes to mind). with todays' earnings per/mth you'd think there would be a team of 20 technical staff on the payroll. at least make some kind of improvement on the quality control side of things.
Would like to suggest a workflow process that I undertake for each car-mod once installed, as it may assist with car-ground-shadows...
New livery releases starting on Monday again, good luck! 😘Monthly? update to this thing, I have now reached 2170+ real liveries for the spreadsheet, Pretty sure i added 500+ liveries give or take since the last update. Still plenty to go trough
As usual, Anyone know of anything missing let me know. I know there is an crap ton of skins made by Pasta that i still need to archive which would take an whole day on it's own, not to mention still having to go trough Overtake's website to comb trough 22 thousand liveries which amounts to 1124 pages
As usual, Thanks to everyone that has also filled in any empty gaps with the comment functions, It's been a lot of help for correcting and filling in some stuff that i have completely missed!
As usual link to the archive here: Assetto Corsa Livery Archive
I think someone else mentioned this in the past couple of weeks and I've just seen it myself on Kunos Spa. It happens a few times around the track, and always in the same places, eg towards the end of the start/finish straight just before La Source, if anyone wants to test it.I've worked out what my problem is with CSP 0.3 and the random flashes I get about every 20 seconds. It is that the GrassFX disappears for 2 frames.
Annoying as the grass looks better nowadays but it is too distracting to put in solid Targa Florio laps as there is so much grass right up to the edge of the road. 😒
Nothing... After trying all possible combinations, no results. 😢
Yep, the Koeniggggsenisseggsegnignigsegigiseg has it, or at least that's what I see in lods.ini...
I don't know, my knowledge of these topics is very basic and I wouldn't know exactly what I should add to the "materials" for that spell to work... 😬
I've tried it too, but...
It doesn't work either... Interestingly, when opening the car in the CM Showroom, the primary shadow can be subtly observed...
I went back and checked the 'recommended' CSP 0.2.11 and the horrible shadow banding is in that build too. Same at your end?
