Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Masscot]

Two hours later and a totally different subject so I'm supposing... hoping... praying that this won't count as a double post.

@Peter Boese do you know what's causing this halo between the track geometry and your Pure landscape, and how to possibly avoid it?
It kind of looks like the whole environment has been selected in Objects Inspector, but it's not that.

Also (and a bigger problem really), tracks sometimes load with shadows seemingly disabled (latest CSP, latest Pure). Even in bright sun, track objects and cars cast no shadows, and everything has a slight 'glow' almost as if it's being lit from within (but this might just be an illusion based on the lack of shadows).
Possible issue with Pure's lighting initialisation?
It can happen on any track with any car, and might happen more often when swapping between tracks quite regularly. There doesn't seem to be any logical trigger or pattern though.
Thanks.

 

[StoffelWaffle]

Thanks. best version available imo.
Looks fine, also at night.
Still not very friendly on fps though: alone on track, one lap during daylight, on at night, I get 72.3 fps AVG and 36.5 fps MIN, which is really quite low, compared to other similar tracks.
(BAI Zhantang and so on v1.0 same conditions gives 98.9 fps AVG and 50.4 fps MIN - but there's quite some grandstand lights 'popping'.
Could you also provide a version number ?

@StoffelWaffle which issue do you mean ?

Launching a race, practice hotlap session, anything results in the famed "race cancelled" message. Works after restarting it but man it sure as hell isn't user friendly !

2005 FIA GT2 skinpack for RSS GTN Pack

Well, is finally here, after 42 skins. But whole season is done now. You can recreate all races almost completely, including livery variants. Also I fixed some errors and reduced size file on the GT1 skinpack. I hope it gives you GTR2 vibes.

Enjoy, hope you like it.

Hey guys dio yourself a favor and check this PP Filter out if using PURE 0.180 - 0.222):

4PP

[4] [P]OST [P]ROCESSING or just 4PP is a single PPFilter for Assetto Corsa that works for both PURE and SOL. If you want to report bugs or if you need help with something don't hesitate on contacting me on discord (gabimaix) A review is...

www.racedepartment.com

I am very sensitive when it comes to filters or generally to visuals in AC, always searching to improve the eye candy.
Never been a fan from this one, but with the newest 1.5 Version the guy behind it, nails it for me.

I was always preffering pure when it came out, but had always the feeling SOL had much better sunray effects. With the filter above the sunrays are great with pure again, plus no oversaturation overall . For me no1 now.

ps: This is no advertise, i don`t even know the maker just very satisfied with this filter now.

edit: As the filter brings no extra pure config, make sure using it, first load (import) the original pure config.ini

Almost all 'race cancelled' messages are triggered by ai payloads.bin and other obsolete files. Check your ai files and remove them.
In 95% of the cases that message will not appear.

 

[Alx Hill]

For the past year or so, many cars are missing their rear lights. Any ideas how to fix this? Must be a CSP issue.

Thanks.

 

[Sup_hunter]

So, here I am after having invastigated a bit more. Probably it's something having to do with the sun rays since in the night everything work smooth... at the sunset and sunrise the situation is critic for my system

GPU: Nvidia 830M
CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U 2,20 GHz
RAM: 8GB

so as you can see not a very high performance PC.

Anyway, new day new bug:


I thing I'm the only one with this bug. Lights start on (as they should) but if I switch them off and try to turn them on again, they simply switch on for a second and then they turn off. This thing happened with the old version of CSP too but after some consecutive switches on everything was working fine.
All this happening with both mods and kunos cars (all)

Improve RAM to 16 , and have a great improve.

Good afternoon.

After many tests and improvements to the textures (when possible), by our mate "MrHunt" there are several models from Team Matra, most of them "imported" just the main body (models from the Absolute Le Mans Mod GTR2).

The Matra 620 (1966) version would need to be improved (either by the authors themselves, who are always improving; or someone else).
Included in the pack (to make things easier), is the MS 630 model (which I downloaded), which was improved (I don't remember the name now, I exchanged some ideas with him, he improved, in addition to this Matra model, two versions of the Ferrari 206 Dino, which I'm still testing, and also making adjustments to create a version of the 365p2 (1966).

Includes the model of our mate "MrHunt" for those who don't have it yet (other skins and just search).
I mentioned to him that the car's sound was spectacular (but I didn't change the models) that I had already converted (maybe I will do it later). Some models have a better "symphony" in the noise of the V12, it remains to be adapted later.

I had to adapt the "shorttail" model from Brands Hatch, as it didn't exist anywhere else. There is still room to improve the models, as many of them I don't know how to adjust the "headlights", instrument panel, etc...

All models tested, working, and with a "BoP" compared to other cars of the time and with Le Mans race times (within acceptable) as it is complicated to adjust everything (as there are many variables.

Most of the tests were done with setup (basic), gear ratio (the longest), fuel (about 1/3 of the tank).

One lap when leaving the pits, and the next (taking time), most of the time with "slower cars" ahead.
Some cars (mainly the Le Mans skins), there are 2 versions (one for each driver), so if you have a favorite driver in a certain race, for example (Beltoise/Jarier), both versions are already ready (with the helmets of each one).

Below are some prints of some skins and most versions. That's it for now. Let's have fun. Soon I hope to pass on the other models (to compose the grids). Good fun everyone!!

Improve RAM to 16 , and have a great improve.

After running AC for 5 years on 8gb and jumping to 16gb in the same rig, there was 0 improvement in performance, nor was I expecting any as AC does not use more than 6gb or so.

Please dont give arbitrary advice without actually knowning there will be an improvement. (Further, I have never once heard that going from 8gb to 16gb in AC increases improvement, or this would be the first thing to say in any performance discussion about AC)

I wanted to go from 12 to 16 gigs but after I saw your post, I'd rather not

F1 Las Vegas 2023 Grand Prix Layout. - Updates

www.racedepartment.com

New updates for Las Vegas!!

Here's a comprehensive list of changes.
Using the F1 TV coverage as Reference T 14,15,16 complex has been mildy corrected.

T7,8 and 9 chicane was waaay of as well, I had it as more of a Monza T1, rather than the elongated chicane it actually is.

The entry for t5 has been narrowed

White lines for t9 have been shuffled to be closer to the real track.

So realistically this release has changes for T1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,12,14,15,16

Also added a few more visual elements, extra buildings, the monorail that crosses the track twice.

Changed the positions of all of the kerbs to match the IRL circuit.

Included the kerbs decorated with the playing card suits where appropriate.

Shifted barrier positions to follow the real circuit

Pit Entry and Exit also changed entirely

Added track limits to the areas that you can run wide or cut

Added DRS zones.

Upped pit boxes to 30

Changed main grandstand building to be closer to the real one, this still isn't perfect yet.

Added some drains on the main strip that act as rumble strips for that 100% true to Sainz experience.

More reflective and dark Asphalt surface to give everything that 'new asphalt' look.

Added new sponsors to the relevant areras. This isn't a 100% match for the real track yet, there are sill some places that are left blank.

This has nothing to do with the track itself, it´s a bug which occurs when reading the ai spline for the first time a new track has been installed and launched. Ilja has fixed this already.

I believe that issue is from missing some of the .lut files that go with the tyres.ini file.

Simtraxx Assetto Corsa Fix & Update all old Tracks

This is, perhaps, the most desperate and lame thing I have ever seen in AC simracing.
They have pay mods, they have a Discord they ask for donations and now a GOFUNDME.

IMHO this is a new low for a mod group. sad.

What you could do is add this skin. I wouldn't know how to install the auxiliary headlights (perhaps importing them from someone else), but the biggest problem would be getting them to work. If anyone wants to try (feel free to anyone who wants to modify).

Yes, on VIR its the same

I'll have a look. Maybe i can improve it further....

EDIT:
I found a workaround. Not realy the final solution, but it will need a change in CSP for a proper work.
The landscape shader is now only a skyshader by default. This will prevent that alpha issues with transparent objects or edges.

i attached the corrected shader file. Just replace it in /assettocorsa/extension/weather/pure/render/landscape

EDIT 2 (21.11.2023) fixed a bug with sun is visible through landscape shader

He have a nvidia 830M , it is a onboard video card , not have more information on this laptop . The best improvement is an a ssd hd and more ram . Of course . But , sorry , what is for you the word " performance " ? Have a great day.
