Seems the brightness of it is defined pretty high. But anyway, if you are using the "pure" standard ppfilter with Pure LCS, the easier solution would be this:
Reduce the "photorealistic" slider in Pure PP app. The overall Glare is linked to that slider for easy control of the wanted look:

The number/display seems to have brake light like brightness, but it is actually only Glare which bothers you.

Weird, that's nothing like what I'm seeing with default settings.

Weird, that's nothing like what I'm seeing with default settings.

Could you show it and could you please share your CSP settings?

 

[k_p]

Thanks for that, man! 3 ACE cars within one week. Do you see a possibility to convert also the Golf I and VIII?

Appreciate your hard work!

Thank you.

Thanks, maybe Golf I, I'll see if I find the time.

Thanks for this. Great car, looking forward to the new physics. I did a couple of tweaks if you want to test them. Might mainly be good for VR users or if you drive pancake in first person with the driver visible.

1. Attached is a new shift animation (no more exaggerated loop, and closer to the gearknob) and driver rescale/reposition to get his hands on the steering wheel rim when turning. Remove the .txt extensions and place in the 'animations' folder.
Disclaimer: Kunos driver postures don't like high t-bar steering wheel designs like the one in this Alfa, so the thumbs clip through this a little. But it's a necessary compromise to get the hands on the rim when turning, which is much more important (in VR, anyway).
Important: change LOCK to =320 in data/driver3d.ini to also synch the hands better with the rim rotation.

2. There's a lot of daylight leakage around mesh seams on the dashboard, door cards and A-pillars, so add this to the config to fix that:

;stop sun ingress around cockpit mesh seams, into footwells etc
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE = 1
MATERIALS = EXT_PLASTIC_BLACK, EXT_BODY;external bodywork, trim, pillars, dashboard etc
CULL_MODE = DOUBLESIDED
CAST_SHADOWS = 1
DOUBLE_FACE_SHADOW_BIASED = 1

One more observation: for me (latest CSP, latest Pure LCS, Pure PPF) the dashboard instrument emissive glow seems overly bright. is anyone else getting this?
This is in daylight - at night of course, it's even brighter:

Anyway, hope that helps. Feel free to ignore.

No loads as normal for me, I am on CSP 0.2.11 No Pure or such

Yes

Thanks, for fixes. I must admit that I used some driver and just reposition and scale so animations are not perfect.

And for lighting there is second ext_config file with values for LCS in extension folder, just rename it.

This is the problem that some users use gamma and some use LCS. This is where the discrepancy comes from. Both techniques uses light source differently I guess.

I had that in mind so I include two ext_configs.

Maybe those lights were made much brighter in the cars config to force more glare. Now with the fixed sun speculars the glare was changed in the standard pure ppfilter.

Could be that those lights are too strong anyway in comparison to world lights. But there must be a decent difference to much brighter world lights.

Would be interesting to see the difference of standard Kunos cars configs and the configs where this problem appears…

Just to be clear, the example I gave you on your Discord is a standard Kunos car.

Problem with CSP Lights Emmisive - using CSP 0.3.x I have to set emmisive to 0.01 as default setting at 1 is super-duper emmisive. I have uninstalled csp and Pure, reinstalled and still the same. I hit Reset to Defaults in Pure before taking the images. When I revert back to CSP 0.2.12 the lights are behaving normally.

Image 1 is default settings in Pure - Image 2 is with CSP Light Emmisive reduced to 1%

It is just the Glare effect which works now properly in VR too.
But you could just reduce the effect with the photorealistic slider.
And if you use Pure LCS, just use the "pure" ppfilter and then reduce the Glare with the photorealistic slider.

No need to dial down emissive or anything.

BTW, did you set the alternative Post Processing in weatherFX settings? This has a simpler Glare method and it makes those big blobs.

Little update to blackbolt2017 Alpine A110S

Changes:

• added selflighting to headlights and taillights
• mask_gbuffer to allow to selflighting to be seen
• added license plate and ilumination for that
• now cateye reflectors in rear bumper reflect light
• modified glass shader for lights to refract meshes inside when looking at an angle

EDIT:
New kn5 file with rotated UV map for easier license plate texture replacement and fixed origin for those meshes because I don't remember if I set them corectly.

What not working? License plate or lighting? I added few lines to original ext_config so it should work. Try fixed file in original post because I maybe set wrong origin in blender.

Was the black material issue in CSP 3.0 on the VRC prototypes ever figured out?

 

[kimiraik]

No, i just stayed with the previous version..

 

[Perico Lospa]

What not working? License plate or lighting?...

Nothing... The .ini extension isn't activating, the license plates aren't showing up, the cateye reflectors aren't appearing, and I don't see any changes to the lighting... I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

By the way, I'm trying to download your file again to test it, but it's no longer available in the downloads section...

Since this last update it's not letting me update the car previews. It just clips my CPU usage and stays on the "Updating Previews" menu endlessly...

Edit: CSP Previews, of course.

Edit II: It finally worked, Azzurro Polizia was the Skin taking +5 minutes to preview, rest of skins work instantly. Might be my crap PC lmao.

Does anyone know why this weird graphical glitch is happening on the mirrors?

This is on FH2026, but I think it happens on most cars.

Well I fixed my AC loading issue and now I have another one, this one I've tried tweaking several settings for and still having issues here. No idea what to do here does anyone have any suggestions please?

How did you solve it?

 

[timetoo22]

Since I've had my CSL Fanatec 8nm i've really struggled with AC. Just cant get it feeling like how my TX did, which I know is very weird, in AMS2 and RF2 its transformed those games, totally, to the point AMS2 seems to me like a new game and dare i say it some of the cars FFB and feeling is sublime.
So last night i set my FFB in fanalab to 3.9 nm, similar to old TX. And its back again, AC feels like AC again.
This must be because surely i've been 4000hrs and 9 odd years playing AC on a TX and to much familiarity with lower forces.
Or is there more to it? What sort of DD wheels were available to average consumers 10 years ago? Was AC developed to work with TX type wheels? I don't know, all i know is AC feels like AC to me again now.
Anyone else use a CSL?

dd wheels seems like a complete waste of time on AC as the ffb is so good. and on so many other games it seems just like endless hours of setup changes. Id like to get it working perfect on Live for Speed, with the recent update that game feels amazing to drive, just not enough ffb and haptics.

Im on csl dd 8nm few years, upgrade from geared wheel. It feels exactly like it should in AC, more details in center and faster response. What are Your expectations from dd? It's hard to tell from Your post why it feels inferior to You from belt driven wheel. AC feels like AC not helping. There were plenty dd wheels back when AC was developed. Plus now you can try alternative ffb plugins for AC. Setting it to 4nm is weird thing to do. I recommend instead setting in fanatec driver 95-100% in game 70 and paying attention to clipping meter in game, if You have a lot of clipping that may be why it feels bad for You. Could be defective equipment.

No its not that, at full 8nm and in the Porsche Clubsport race car it feels like the car is bouncing, it felt this way with my TX, but at 8nm its just too much, at 3.9nm it feels like it used to. Like i say in all other racing games its transformed them and the Fanantec is beyond my exspectations.
I am moving towards AC being so good in FFB and feel is the reason i kept my TX for 10 years, I'll keep the new wheel at 3.9 for AC only and i guess over time as i get used to it i'll start increasing it.
I know the general responce to any percieved criticism is to jump to 'defective' hardwear, but its not that, i have also maonly been using AC for drifting for the last year so only just got back to driving the race cars.
It was just interesting to me from the perspective of how all the games that were not that great on the TX, AMS2 ACC are now sublime and, IMO, 'better' than AC...
So yes, i think AC just nailed FFB on a wide range of wheels and now for me a DD is giving me to much info back.
I imagine in 2 years my Fanatec in AC will feel 'exactly like it should'.

Strange, I wonder if it's just on your side. Was original file working corectly? I don't know otherwise, no one reported that it didn't work.

I edited file again few minutes ago, maybe thats why was not available, now it seems download work.

I'm happy to report that your upgrade is working correctly for me now.

There's just one small detail that might explain why it didn't work the other day but did today: the first time I tried, before installing your folder, I renamed the original "ext_config.ini" file to "ext_config_original.ini" to preserve it. Today I didn't do that; I simply installed the folder and overwrote the existing file when prompted.

My limited computer knowledge lead me to believe that even though it was renamed, the original file still took precedence over the new one, and that the files we want to keep should be renamed waaay differently so that they don't interfere with each other.

Sorry for the inconvenience and... thanks for sharing your work!

... I am moving towards AC being so good in FFB and feel is the reason i kept my TX for 10 years, I'll keep the new wheel at 3.9 for AC only and i guess over time as i get used to it i'll start increasing it...

I upgraded from a TS-XW Racer to a T818, and aside from a couple of teething problems with the latter, I'm very happy with the change. It's true that the change is abrupt at first; you go from something you've grown accustomed to over time, to something completely new that you have to get used to. The key is to be patient and take the time to find the right settings, which sometimes takes longer than we'd like.

Just one piece of advice, if you're not already doing this: set the force feedback in the wheel's software to 100%, and then adjust the percentage of force feedback for each game specifically, until you're comfortable. This way, the wheel will offer you its full range of capabilities, although adapted to each situation.
