If looking in the star list ranking with @gutbomb 2D-festival Brno 1965 at a 4.5 star and faulty @Ginot team Pau 1967 as an 4.5 star track, I do not think this ranking is real star of quality. :boggled:
Did you check the list? These 60 tracks have more than hundred ratings and if only one rating is 4 stars, you will only see a 4.5 star rating for the track, even if it has a 99% rating overall. I know all of these tracks and have driven them and they are all very good.
 
Maybe you turned the saturation down?!

BTW - Yes, activating PostProcessing in AC Video settings will have this impact. Imagine it does a whole effects suite with 10+ effects shaders then!

The no PP mode of AC is sending the plain HDR picture to the GPU. Without any tonemapping and exposure adjustments and no Glare and Bloom and everything!
THANK YOU @Peter Boese

1. This must be it for sure, since....I turned saturation down as I found all overly saturated. Could not relate myself!
2. Activating PPF and impact; understood and also understandable.
3. Can imagine this, and...explains with with no PPF things look a bit 'dull'.

Might well be I have to switch to 1440p as of then with PPF and 4K things will become 'sluggish' for sure.
Either way, I will see what it will bring.

BTW: Why are you on 119.98 HZ? Any specific reason for this? I have mine on 120 Hz (2160p). 119.98 Hz is better?

i have running AC on my side monitor and it has 120Hz. It is a technical thing, but actually what you see as 120Hz as entry somewhere is 119.98 Hz technically. Don't think about it...

I did drive every track from 1970 and earlier.
Prove: do a simple test, by a race in Brno’67 from @Gitbomb, Pau’67 from @Ginot team and a track of your choice from Fat-alfie. All in your list of quality tracks . Compare them and see if Brno/Pau are still 4,5 stars compared to the masterpieces of Fat-alfie.

Note: I’m not attacking you, my criticism is about the whole star ranking at OV is hilarious. 5 star for an unfinished track, poorly optimized, full of shimmering/jaggies/flashing, sinkholes, hovering objects, low/high polymodels side by side, bad AI, same trees in a straight row, straw bale as a square concrete block etc etc. Sure all tracks have small imperfections, but some are simply not good. Then is not helping the modder to give him a 5 star at first glance, but it’s more helping in publishing your remarks or even better if have the knowledge on how to improve.

I understand what you mean and I know the tracks, but Brno’67 from @Gitbomb, Pau’67 from @Ginot team aren't in the list of the first 60 tracks. I only said, that the first 60 tracks of this list are all well known and well done tracks. That's all. The 4.5 stars for all the tracks is nonsense of course, but the sorting of the list is done by the number of reviews and the percentage and not the stars you see for the tracks.
 
You can sort overtake by most downloaded, top reviewed etc. I think most of us here have at spent at least an evening or two going through that list :D. Upload & last updated date may give you a little hit as to whether the car may have "new" CSP goodies (Extended phsyics etc). Plenty of good cars that are a few years old+, but just something to look at when browsing imho

Of course everyone has their own preferences and likes when it comes to tracks, but if you want somewhere to "start" with, this is a small list of modders whos tracks (mostly race tracks) I drive a lot and can usually expect a quality "product". Most of them have at least 3-5 tracks if not 10+ I apologize in advance if miscatorgirized anyone on it.

  • Lilski
  • Sergio Loro
  • JohnR
  • Fat Alfie
  • Gunnar333
  • Todd K (Not race tracks, but has some interesting track mods on overtake that use photogrammerty to build the track, which gives it a very unique & lifelike feel)

  • Rainmaker
  • Shin956
  • 13x (NASCAR focused)
  • RMI

Another great resource I used along the way was GutBomb's Multiple Track Review list (I think this is the "most recent" version). For many tracks that have multiple versions this gives you a run down on what each brings to the table. Not all encompassing for some newer tracks, but super helpful nonetheless.

As far as screen recording goes, I use the built in windows recording with the win+alt+R keyboard shortcut. But it's more for shorter clips, haven't done long recordings on it.

If that's the SIMTRAXX version you're looking at, there's a more recent version by a fella on Overtake:
Free version on OT, paid on his Patreon (link in the OT post) with more layouts.
Don't know about accurate, but I certainly enjoy this one more.

At Overtake you can use a filter and sort the tracks by user rating. The first 60 tracks are all well made and must have tracks.

And don't miss the fictional tracks by doublezero. They are all master pieces, especially the last one "Kameno 1970-71".
Fantastic. Thanks everyone. That lot should keep me occupied for quite a while!
 
This is complete nonsense. I've tried everything I could think of, but I couldn't do it. I didn't change anything. The track that worked one race ago stopped working 5 minutes later. This is so frustrating. The worst part is it doesn't give an error message. Just this screen... ugh.
My last task was to find version 1.01 of the track. This older version works with the track. However, I can't load the track in versions 1.2 and 1.3. I still haven't figured out what's causing this.
