I was wrong. I did the test over again because it didn't make sense to me. The 7zip file is indeed smaller with the textures with no mipmaps. Now I just need to run a few laps to make sure nothing looks odd with no mipmaps on the textures.Smaller is better, but bigger is better, therefore smaller is bigger. Makes sense
Is there an Ai fix for Dundrod? The Ai drive straight off the track makes racing here impossible.
Wait Dundrod got released? Cool. But does it have S.Victor or Jim Pearson's blessing?
I was hoping this would allow me to finally get my SHH shifter to work in AC again, but still nothing, heh. I can map it to the Next and Previous slots in the Patch tab, but I still get no response in-game.A user on the CSP discord posted what finally seems to be a solution to the problem of missed sequential shifts in Assetto Corsa when having h-pattern, paddles and sequential shifter all mapped to the same control profile.
Basically, map the paddle shifters in the CM/Settings/Assetto Corsa/Controls/BUTTONS tab (along with the h-pattern mapping) and keep 'combine with keyboard' UNTICKED.
Then map your sequential shifter in the SECOND column of the CM/Settings/Assetto Corsa/Controls/PATCH tab.
This means you should now only need one controller profile with h-pattern, paddles and sequential all working as intended, and no need to swap profiles when changing between a paddleshift car and one with a sequential shifter.
nothing of these, some pages back its shown
look great thanks is the seleen mustang coming soonAs long as no one develops something closer to the real thing in relation to the 3 models:
Ferrari 250TR/61,
330TRI/LM62,
330TRI/LM63,
Follow the link to the "fake" Ferraris, at least to make up the Le Mans grid and have some fun.
What was possible to improve in the textures/shadows of the cars, were done by our mate "MrHunt".
Some skins were just adapted (as I decided not to create another fake Ferrari 246P model)Below are some prints of the models.

Thank you for the feedback ; much appreciated.
So, you confirm the uselessness of mipmaps ; in any case (I mean for car textures) ?
mipmaps are needed to reduce the jitter!For AC, yes, definitely. Like Masscot said, mipmaps are generated automatically by the engine, it's just a waste of space. Well, from my experience it is, adressing customized mipmaps doesn't do anything, so... I don't even talk about loading times in fact, I don't think it makes much a difference (supposedly longer, but by what margin), but it does make one in size, and size do matter (wink)
It depends very much on the game engine/virtual engine you're using your texture with. For some it's mandatory, for others a waste of ressource (mostly because they already create them).
And I don't know why I quoted your message, anyway, I 100% agree with it
Who you're apologizing for ? No need to, for others I can't speak but personally I'm just glad if I can help making it better in any way. For the rest, decision and such, you and @Langheck_917 are in charge, You do it your way.
And yes, you do have a good PC 42 cars on Nords and mine gets hotter than a volcano, with the fps of the original Tetris.
Even with the lotus 49 it does the same. lol
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me.I tried to duplicate your session to see the problem. The AI seems to come dangerously close to the track boundaries. Instead of creating new sidelines, you can try to fix that problem with a change in the ai_hints.ini (which can be found in the data-directory). Open the file with an editor and add these lines at the end of the text:
[DANGER_6]
START=0.001
END=0.99
LEFT=0.1
RIGHT=0.1
This makes the AI stay away from the left and right track border by 10% on the entire track. But of course this will make it even more problematic for the AI to overtake each other. I hope this will help.
Thank you very much Peter for this feedback, I've actually learned a lot from it.mipmaps are needed to reduce the jitter!
if you always use the original sized textures then the renderer has a big amount of different pixels to get with a small amount of position change.
Imagine you have a big texture in a distance and the renderer picks the pixel according to your camera vector and where the texture is been placed. and the camera just moves a little bit, maybe a 1/10 of a pixel in output resolution, but in the texture it is a movement of 3 pixels, it will output you a different color then. To solve this you can use anisotrop filtering, but this will go several times and read a bunch of pixels around the pixel's position and need to do an avarage of it. This costs time and GPU usage.
So mipmaps are reduced versions of bigger textures and they already have some kind of averaging in it. So the jitter is reduces, because the renderer will read the same pixel with little camera movement.
Also, such texture read processes cost time too. With mipmaps a GPU could cache results and if a read command at the same position is done again, it could output it much faster. For every read process, the GPU already needs to interpolate the pixel neighbors, because you request the pixel with float values.
So a texture render on distant objects is way more efficient with a mipmap, then to have only the fullsize texture, which you can monitor in fps or GPU usage.
Idk if AC is creating them. BUT. If you have the possibility to create it yourself, i would always go this way. You have more influence then on how they will look. It depends on the texture itself, if the mipmap just looks too dark or too bright, after the shrinking.Thank you very much Peter for this feedback, I've actually learned a lot from it.
You think it is still needed to make custom mipmaps for the texture even if AC makes them itself if there's none ? Or did I understood it wrongly and it doesn't generate them at all ?
You have the JGTC livery?Coming soon in the next update "Nissan 300ZX JGTC"
3 new skins
INT&EXT new AO maps

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me.
Tested these changes, but the Ai did the exact same has before. Can probably try adjusting these numbers
to see what happens. Always nice to learn something new.

Edit
Interestingly if you active the driver Ai for the player car it drives 99.9% of the circuit without issues
only has a slight issue at the hairpin at the very end of the lap.
In an unrelated issue got a notification that CM updated this morning, now there is an unpleasant black border on my track map app.
Tried reinstalling the track and setting map app to defaults but that did not help. It was working fine yesterday.
In the next updateYou have the JGTC livery?
Awesome job on this nissan, it's incredible!
AI has nothing to do with CM. AI is CSP.Also at the risk that I have overlooked something: I have recently had the problem in CM that the Ai cars go to the box after the first round and show no interest in getting out of it. In the quick race and also on weekends. Now I have read that there were other problems with the last cm. A new update came yesterday but the problem is the same.Back to an old version? If so, to which one?
This is my biggest gripe with AC mods, that all important version number. Please modders, remember to add the version number so we all know that we've got the latest version 👍please, remember to change the version number when you update, otherwise you could get lost.
I dream of a quality 1987 & especially 1989 F1 mod for AC. ASR have a McLaren, but there’s nothing else at all out there.
There’s a 1989 mod for rF1 and someone was talking about converting it, to AC here a couple of years ago, but that went silent.
And the modders name.This is my biggest gripe with AC mods, that all important version number. Please modders, remember to add the version number so we all know that we've got the latest version 👍
Yeah. I think this phrase should be engraved in stone... 🤔... beggars can't be choosers...

Ah yes. “Begger Caint Ie Choser.” That’ll get the point across.
