Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[POV]

The adding of the extra layout has been discussed. We decided not to include it as it isn't in use anymore since 2005 and this version represents the actual track. But it won't be much trouble to add it... I can suggest it...

About the car junk yard...I know it's not really pretty but it will be too much work to make it look like IRL

Thanks for the whole team for the tremendous job, happy days for us to have so many rt prefix in our track folders 👍
+1 from me for the extra layout of Most and the same question about East/West layouts of Suzuka. Are they planned to add at some point?

I am aware they all exsist, but they all suck compared to R3E track models, especially if it's being converted by the Reboot Team.

You can't compare them to rt quality for sure. But I think Motegi is far more superior than the others, it is accurate at least, I don't think R3E version is better. OK, it's a paid mod but I could grab it for 6 EUR on a sales of URD.

These are the ones I prefer and use (if there are better versions out there, I don't have them, so feel free to pass them to me ):

Yas Marina - ACU v1.05 retextured (can't remember the author) and with F12020 skin from Blackcelica.

Paul Ricard - Starck3D updated by jumaru99 v0.97 with a retexture skin from (iirc Slider666):

https://mega.nz/file/HHAVTSbQ#kf88IXCrfyb-MiDWNhpeGtFIF2fY5HRFQg7NFB82M6w

Both are my own uploads, available for a week or so, so grab'm while you can.

Thank you very much !!

Hello everyone here!
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who "sacrifices" their free time and hobby here for a thousand happy hours for fans like me
Unfortunately, I am very untalented myself and cannot actively contribute anything in action - except to say: Keep it up!

 

[Fanapryde]

@Breathe
I compared both versions and still prefer mine because of several little details (and it has a layout more). Tarmac is less bright etc...

 

[POV]

Patience my friend, patience...

Patience I have plenty
I have very limited time to drive and despite I keep only the best quality tracks there are so many to choose from, sometimes I'm coming back to a track after months. So there is not really an urgent need of a new version.
But these are very good layouts hence the question. I liked the answer though

Does anyone get really high GPU temperature with Sol 2.1? I reset all my setting to default and my GPU temp sit around 70c. Before with 2.0 it was around 40-50c. Not a big deal, but the only other game that push my GPU that high was Monster Hunter World. (Because it was unoptimized mess)

Edit: Nevermind now it around 55c. No idea how or why that happen.

Just an observation, and my 20cents' worth... Video cards generally are able to sustain higher running temps for extended and enduring times... Abnormal temp fluctuations may vary on circumstances & conditions, some critical indicators to watch for is it's power-source and effective air-circulation... Check/adjust fan-speed configuration (if applicable), and maintain the fan area clean of dust. Laptops are most venerable on that front, with their tiny air-fan outlets clogged most of the time.

Edit: goofy moment there - the word should have typed as 'vulnerable'

 

[Real Toonces]

@Fanapryde don´t know to whom this to address to, so please excuse if wrong, but is there a chance RT could release Most2019 also without the chicane as an additional layout and also have a look onto the ugly cars beeing placed next to the start/finish straight on the grandstand? Seems this was meant to be like an advert for Skoda in real life but currently it looks rubbish.

Thanks!

Hear! Hear! At least wrt the chicane. It's like Enzo used to say when somebody criticized his cars' brakes: "I build my cars to go fast, not slow." Race tracks used to be built to go fast. Then the politically correct invented chicanes. Sad, sad day....

 

[Shokeus]

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding the situation, you're modelling the interior of an unfinished car by another mod team without their knowledge and/or consent, even after they've made it clear that the car is still in development?
This breaks so many codes of ethics I don't even know where to begin.
Call me old fashioned but you run the real risk of offending PM3DM beyond measure. Why not approach them first and ask if they actually want you to do this? You might be pleasantly surprised or they might think it's a terrible idea, but at least they'll have an opportunity to comment before the fact. You might save yourself a bunch of work too - for all we know the interior might already be in progress.
Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick here.

Obviously I can’t find the thread in question (recent) or he said that he finished the volvo , then finished before the outside of the audi before starting the inside of the bmw and that he would not mind help if someone would do it!!

I didn’t tell him about it because I’m not sure I can do it and for the moment I’m off to a bad start

 

[luschuetzky]

I wonder why this great car (Horag-Lola VAG Turbo CanAm) doesn't exist in the world of simracing... or maybe it does and I just could not find it... ?

 

[ClaudioWRC74]

what about this

Now that Raceroom Tracks are converted, would it be too much to ask for Ningbo, Zhejiang, Zhuhai, and Twin Ring Motegi in the future?

Ah, cool - fair enough. Might be worth contacting him though, just in case you're duplicating work already done.

Hey guys, a quick question: which cloud render method is the best? 2d clouds, sol's clouds or Ilja's tweaked default implementation? (I have a low-end computer so that might be important i guess?) Thanks for any replies in advance. 👍

I assume you use a single monitor (not vr or triple). In that case, it seems to me that the best option is to use 2d SOL clouds, which have a good quality-FPS ratio. ILJA's default clouds are not bad at all and are less demanding on the PC, but you will miss out on all the good lighting features of SOL. To me, the truth, the 3d clouds of SOL do not finish convincing me. Although I must clarify that I have not yet installed SOL 2.1. In any case, 3d clouds do have a point in their favor and that is that they are reflected in the bodies of the cars, which makes them very good for taking pictures or videos (2d clouds are not reflected). Bottom line: for running, I use 2d SOL clouds. To watch replays, videos, and photos, I use SOL 3d clouds.

 

[ClaudioWRC74]

Hey, could you tell me which are the best versions of Yas marina and Paul Ricard circuits? The ACU Yas Marina has really bad night lighting or perhaps I have an older version, and the textures on the Race Department Paul Ricard are quite weird.

Can anyone give me suggestions if there is a better version available or any skins/extension I can download to make the 2 tracks better.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I use these versions for all my custom championships
- Paul Ricard 2016 original version with all 2020 updates (new pits for exemple and all layout updates, textures, ....)
https://mega.nz/file/xchwwZoA#5xnc44Ud7OZ2670pVB6gjQCpU91vEyS0cernXT1-vIA

- Paul Ricard update 2019 (with the real stands in the straight line) : you can found this version on the web because it's a private mod just for me and some friends, 2019 version original with updates)

Zhuhai International Circuit by SGAN Studios :

That Zhuhai by SGAN Studios is just a complete copy of @VheEth 's 0.6 from what I can tell?

 

[dragster666]

Does anybody know why I'm getting this? Tried everything and i'm still getting this. I'm only getting this on the countach tried removing the lods and everything but still the same.

Edit looks like body_shadow fixed the issue not sure how i deleted it.

There should be a setting in CM to auto patch cars, other wise, assuming not encrypted you add two lines to the cars .ini I will try to find a link as work is slow AF today.

Watch this and lines are in description.

I had the same problem, no physic working. The problem was because I had a few downloading pending in CM and RSR Live app Active: both things create problem for installation of Custom Shaders Patch. I downloaded all pending upgrade and deactivated the RSR app and all was wroking!

 

[David Jessat]

Unsure of a direct solution for the headlight issue, and as you say, its primarily affecting non-kunos car mods, it could well be related to the influx of ongoing updates for CM, CSP, SOL... Try and isolate the issue by reviewing CSP settings ingame...

For a quick workaround without touching the car-data-files, you could use the ingame solution - as follows:

View attachment 1012981

The VRC Ariel is used here as an example.
- open the 'Sol Plan Selector' app
- if app-window already expanded - skip - next step...
- otherwise click down-arrow to expand app-view - like so...

View attachment 1012982

The green-selection area shows a sliding bar setting for the headlight-range (for whatever car-mod you may be using - hence, changes are mod-specific).

I've parked the car in a dark spot to showcase this example - notice the home at the far distance (centred within the selection area) - by default the headlight range is set at 50%.

Set at 0%
View attachment 1012989

Set at 300% - now reaching the far distance home... (you could almost see what's cooking through the kitchen window - humour)
View attachment 1012990

Other headlight-related tips:
- check CM/settings
-> car instruments
-> weather FX
-> lighting FX

Thank for taking the time, much appreciated. Thing is I don't struggle with my own light from an onboard perspective, but what they look like on AI cars or in replay, they switch abruptly at very short distance - not the beam but the lights on the car itself. I have contacted VRC and they say it is a known problem caused by recent CSP updates - will be fixed in time, which is fine with me. But that tip there still is very useful so thanks again!

Does anyone have experience with the BLM Lights app. In the version of Yas Marina posted by Fanapryde a few pages back the lighting at night is really dim and only works well when I put the track lights at 200% using the BLM Lights app.

Is there a way to make that setting a default? Doing it every time resets the weather for some reason and makes the car lights really dim as well. Does the BLM app make a separate config? If anyone can shed some light on this it will be really helpful.

Hello guys, im looking for some help here....

I have been experiencing issues with CPU Occupancy 99% out of nowhere, this also makes the game run in slow motion.

I have been using the exact same pc setup snce the start of the year and I was able to do literally everything (running a lot of AI, heavy mods, rainfx, everything) with no problem whatsoever

Now, out of nowhere i have this issue, no new mods either, only updating Sol 2.1 and CSP 0.1.75 to try and fix this and it didnt worked.

Has anyone experienced something similar ? Im so frutrated, this happened to me once before in a older pc setup, I could never fix it so I build a new pc and now its happening again

re: SOL 2.1 + overheating

I also had my AC crash to desktop for the first time and the videocard was HOWLING. This never happened until upgrading to SOL 2.1
It is screaming like it never did before.

Peter recommends setting the reflections rendering frequency here to 2 faces per frame to avoid massive FPS loss with Sol 2.1
(In ...CM/Assetto Corsa/Video settings)

Perhaps someone should tell the Americans then...... last time i checked Indy 500 has no chicanes?

Aside from the odd glaringly bad design choices with chicanes, i find tracks with them and corners far far more interesting...

Amazing!

Question for skinner, can someone make something like this(or the current livery) with different car numbers? Main things it would be nice to run with the Kunos(or the BOP Kunos) cars but overlapping numbers just bugs me a little....lol

Guys just a quick question: can you point me in the right direction on how to create a light config for tracks for some night activities, please? Any tutorial or guide, please?. I want to add lights to a track but I don't know how to do...
