Croft Circuit Rain FX (Cozy61) ext_config.ini
This is my first attempt at creating a RainFX config so be gentle, please

It is for the Croft circuit by Terra 21
Croft Circuit
Croft Circuit is a motor racing circuit located near Dalton-on-Tees in North Yorkshire, England. The tarmac circuit is just over 2 miles (3 km) long and is based on the lands of an airfield, but has long since moved on from being a basic airfield...

Installation Help
1. Create a new ext_config.ini file using Notepad or similar text editor
2. Copy the text below and paste
3. Save as ext_config.ini in track/extension folder (create one if there isn't one)
4. Hopefully it works for you and you can enjoy

Sure, send me the track, and I'll see what I can do.

BTW I crash a lot too.

I found a way to make one AI line but is not absolutely perfect, so yeah, if you found a way to make one better would be amazing

here's the track link

Thanks man

Ok so maybe not fantasy, but was never raced in that configuration. The R382's that competed in the Japanese Grand Prix never had such a wing.

Pulling your leg a bit. Yes it's possible to remove the wing using 3DSimed.

 

[Jandrovi]

I did see that in the naming convention but it seems like the non-SMG version might be more appropriate for this model as it's got no paddles, a normal gated shifter and a manual shifting animation to match. And who in their right mind would choose the numbness of paddles over the viscerality of a clutch and h-gate..?

The car is a weird mixture of both: manual and SMG II. It has a clutch pedal and the numbers 1 to 6 written on the gear knob, but also it has the gear knob from an SMG, it has the gear display on the dash and the button for selecting the gear change speed placed behind the gear lever.

I prefered to do it SMG because I´ll be releasing an M3 E36 3.0 286 cv and that has a manual 5 speed transmission, so you can feel more the difference between those two generations (old school vs entering into the new wave)

CM and virus warnings can be caused by many things, and CM certainly CAN be seen as a "virus" with suspicious activity.
I dont run AV but lets look at what CM, a single EXE does:

- udp/tcp server
- can "open" a connection, initiate a connection
- encryption algorithms
- compression component
- embeded html/js
- writes to registry
- its made in .ru
- havent checked, but the exe itself may be compressed.

all of these attributes in a single exe can cause alerts for "suspicious activity"

seeing a log on what your AV "thinks" its doing would be interesting

I uploaded it to Virus Total:

@TheRealCeeBee which version of blender do you use?

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

Hello,
I kindly ask one or more links to road tracks when you can fly with the car, due to sudden changes of elevation or hunps on the road.
I am also looking for tracks with many movable objects (for example cones...) .
Thank you very much.

Now you got me...

Do you mean this?

This?

Or this?

This is the great Porsche GT2 RS 2018 by Kass.
Can somebody fix it for rainfx?

Please!

Hello Modders,
can anybody help to make the wipers work and to get it rainfx-ready (windshield-fix).
turn signals would also be interesting.
If nobody like to do it, can anybody give me contact to M.Kass who converted this file?

THank you modders for answers,
Andreas

Should work now.

 

[TheRealCeeBee]

@TheRealCeeBee which version of blender do you use?

whatever the latest one is presumably, I jsut hit the download button on the blender page.

edit. it says 2.83.5

Hi All. Has anybody done the wiper config for the Kunos Mazda 787B and the Mercedes C9.
Also is there a Rain config for Le Mans 1985. Many thanks.

[Panerista]

Hey guys! :-)

Would it be possible, that someone of you makes a RAIN_FX and seasonal changeing to: Bilster Berg v0.99 (20191014) as well as some sick CamTool2 replays?

I love this "hard to find" Track by Fat-Alfie and drive on it really often, so it would be great to have some new fun with these updates. :-)

If you're able to do it and don't have the track, please DM me. :-)

Cheers

R.

Create a new folder called "extension" in ks_mercedes_c9 and a new file called ext_config.ini then and put these values here:

[WIPERS_TRACE_...]
SURFACE=GEO_Glass_SUB1
WIPERS=GEO_wiper_brush

Mazda 787 also the same procedure:

[WIPERS_TRACE_...]
SURFACE=polymsh_detached14
WIPERS=polymsh_detached23

I did help with the skin pack only to blackcelica. I'm not the author of the mod. I'm sharing under Enver's permission.

What I experinced is:
- Grip and track is better.
- Has night lights.
- Grass is good enough for my taste.
- Rain? I didn't used it ever. So on that one you'll be the experinced one.
- GT4s, F1s and some other fast car mods are work better with it. (No China or Malaysia slipperyness i mean)
- Skin is a good +
- Also with good AI, DRS and other stuff, I prefer this one.

And yes all of İstanbul Park's are same base F1 2011 (Actually GRID)... but ACU's version has some lighting issues on grandstands. I don't like that look. So, you can download and judge it by yourself. It's not switch ACU track or it's data.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I just want to check, did you actually download and test the track I linked to? It's quite far removed from the ACU original and has been changed a LOT, so I was wondering if your comments might have been based on the much older ACU original?
If you subjectively prefer the other track then nobody can argue with that but it seems placebo or confirmation bias might be influencing some of your reasons, if they are based on the track I linked to:

- Grip and track is better.
Grip is absolutely identical on both tracks, FRICTION=0.99, so a little higher than Kunos recommended specs but exactly the same for both. I guess ACU originally set this and nobody's bothered changing it.
- Has night lights.
I actually get no night lights at all on your track but maybe the config hasn't downloaded from the Github or something, but there is definitely full track lighting (including digital flags) on the version I linked to. You can see the lighting config in the track folder.
- Grass is good enough for my taste.
General consensus is that GrassFX is a huge improvement over flat textures or old vanilla strip tufts, so it's possible your view won't be shared by many.
- Rain? I didn't used it ever. So on that one you'll be the experinced one.
OK, that's fine for you but it's not just you that'll be using this track. RainFX prep is getting requested more and more and is kind of expected now by default. Just look at all the requests in this thread for RainFX configs, and those are only going to increase when RainFX is included in the public release of CSP which should be any time soon... ish. Maybe. Hopefully.
- Skin is a good +
...and easily copied to the other track in a few seconds if it's a deal-breaker.
- Also with good AI, DRS and other stuff, I prefer this one.
Not sure what the 'other stuff' is and if DRS is missing then fine, but I actually prefer the AI on the track I linked to so again, personal preference. Again, the AI is probably interchangeable between the different tracks anyway.

Choice is always nice so it's a good job both tracks exist. I think there are actually at least five Instanbuls doing the rounds all based on ACU's original conversion, so I'm sure everyone will be able find their favourite.
Edit: and maybe someone will combine the best of these two tracks to give us the definitive version.

First of all, a big thank you to GR-Evolution, creator of the original model for RBR.

Find this and other great mods for RBR at www.gr-evolution.com

---------

Fiesta WRC 2019 for AC in beta 0.2

It is only a first step, but the journey always begins with one step.

contains 3 versions with 3 different lights combinations with various skins.

No rainFX at the moment but I'm working on it together with the other cars, along with various corrections.

--------------
soon...

The sound are by Bitto69 in version 0.5 at the moment.

Thanks for these. The C9 wipes the glass well (apart from an odd pause at the top of the sweep) but the 787 seems to miss most of the drops for some reason.

My Kunos Mazda 787B had no problems wiping the rain away without the fix, but your fix worked for the Merc C9, thanks Fall Guy! Ken134, I'm wondering if you maybe are referring to another version of the Mazda (might have been labeled a GT?), that didn't have wipers at all. Since rain became, I switched back from that one to the Kunos and all's well.

You´re right, the 787B has this rainfx already included in it´s own ini file. So basically there is no need to included this again in a separate ext_config.ini, since the values are the same. @Ken134 maybe you are referring to the 787B which was available at RD before it became the official Kunos DLC?

Hi. I tried the Kunos Mazda but the rain drops were acting weird when wiping. There is a wiper trace config
in extension/ Config/Cars loaded but I will try the new one. Hopefully it is fixed.

The 787's wiper is fubar. The motion is weird, it hardly touches the raindrops and the 'unwiped area pattern' bears no relation to the arc that the wiper actually describes.
The wiper itself also looks like something off a 1970s mini, it looks far too spindly for the job asked of it.
Needs a total rework IMO, including the wiper arm and blade model.

I´m all for choice, but I don´t really get why people seem so fixated on making "new versions" of the same tracks (mostly for F1 circuits, for whatever reason) whose changes could easilly be done through a new config or a few mb -sized expansion (skins and drs).
There´s like 5 different versions of every F1 track and only a few actually fix the main issues and integrate the configs/features of the other "versions"

(I couldn´t find the config for this "new" istanbul either)

Yeah, it gets a bit confusing. I find I have to decide which one to keep and bin the others pretty quickly or I'm left with several versions with no idea which one's the best when I come to use that track in the future.
