I have a question for all of you. Lately I've been experimenting with the number of AIs I can include in a race weekend. With kunos cars I can include between 40 and 50 cars without problems. With mods the result varies between 30 and 40. Looking at the render stats I notice that the only value that creates problems is the sim which goes beyond 100%, causing significant slowdowns (gpu and cpu never beyond 95%).
Is there anything that can be done, besides cpu/gpu optimizations, or should I give up on the fact that the mods, even with lods and optimization, are heavy for my system?

I report my specs, even if included in the signature:

i5 9600k 3.70 gHz with boost 4.50 gHz and overclock preset chosen in the bios
Nvidia GTX 1660 super 6gb with nvidia auto-overclock
Ram 16 gb DDR4 HyperX 2666mhz with xmp

I've done my testing back in April 2023, comparing my old system to my current. (Both stock)

Old System: Ryzen 2200g, 8GB 2666mhz, GTX 1060 6GB
Current System: Ryzen 5700X, 32GB 3200mhz, RTX 3070

With the old system, I was able to get a max of 30 cars (Both modded and kunos cars) on any track that supported big grids. I mainly tested 30 Porsche 911 GT3 Cups around Le Mans and it worked with no issues, maybe a bit of stuttering here and there, but nothing distracting from the overall experience. I've tried a bunch of Nvidia control panel stuff, Lowing graphics; which were already pretty low, but it made little to no difference. The only thing that I can recommend doing (If you want to) is to change your power option to 'High performance' in your windows control panel. This managed to squeeze a tiny bit more performance out of it, this usually works with low end stuff. I've tried it with the current PC, but there's no difference.

With the current system, I can run 80-85 cars easily at the full Nordschleife 108. The PC couldn't take much more when I put it at 90 cars lol, but I was (and still) super happy with the results. Now I can run full Daytona, Le Mans and even VLN/NLS grids with modded cars, HOWEVER...

The Ai doesn't know how to take corners properly around this configuration and It ends up in a blood bath full of carnage at the following corners: Hohenrain, Flugplatz, Sometimes Adenauer Forest, etc. No matter how much you nerf the Ai in the menu, they'll find a way to screw up. If you want my honest opinion, upgrading your specs is the way to go about it.

Fanapryde, an update? To CM? I don't see it.

wait a goddamn minute! Teddie!!! I didn't know you were back!? welcome!

Thanks for your reply. I found a more or less effective solution. I limited the frames to 60 while still maintaining vsync (I can't stand tearing). With the same graphics settings and optimizations, the sim usage percentage is now significantly lower. Maybe the extra number of fps to process stole, perhaps unnecessarily, a lot of resources using CPU and GPU in such a way that they cannot keep up with the physics engine. Maybe I said something stupid, but at least it works. 😂

HINT: these features have an optional-addon-value (i.e. outward-sliders), which compliments the feature-value, EG. Opponent's Strength, Aggression & Wind - thus making a varied (or range) value of that particular feature, EG. Strength-range from <92 through to 98.5%.

@racealot, yeah, definitely know about that, but thanks. The problem is with the lop-sided outer values. It's so lopsided that the outer limit ends up on an entirely different setting's slider slot. I still haven't fixed it. Fanapryde said he received an update and it was fixed. But I'm not sure I received that update and I still have the issue. @Fanapryde, can you share a screenshot of where I would know if I have the update you received?

wait a goddamn minute! Teddie!!! I didn't know you were back!? welcome!

HEY HEY, my friend!!! Glad to be back, man. I posted a mushy-love-love message a while back when I returned from my hiatus to all you guys, (I think a few weeks ago) but I think it got moved and no one really saw it. Great to see you, bro!

 

[GIBBONS]

Does anyone have interest in an update to the 1999 Dodge Viper GTS ACR? I went through it recently, updated some textures, some parts of the model and remapped it to add stripes. I can make sure it's working and upload if anyone wants.

I love racing with large grids, which tracks have the largest grids? I have a vintage LeMans with 54 slots, a vintage Spa with 128, a vintage Daytona with 84... that's about it. Would love more tracks with huge grids for endurace fests.

Can you guess from which F1 video this shots refers to ?

You can have 60 in Dubai autodrome (rt_dubai) , 60 in THR_Daytona, 62 on Kunos Barcelona but with OSRW addon, there is a long beach with 58, and plenty others with 43+

Nordschleife 108 Grid Spots

Right in time for the upcoming real 24 hours race on the Nordschleife I release this little addon. I added 'some' grid spots and now you are able to drive with 108 cars on the Ring at once. This was mainly an experiment whether AC could handle...

@Fanapryde, can you share a screenshot of where I would know if I have the update you received?

It was a little info window that appeared for a few seconds.
But you can check Content Manager > settings > general.
On your right you'll see the App version, which atm is 0.8.2633.39678, data version 176

shoot. Mine says exactly the same info, but I still have the wonky outer-limit sliders. hmmm. So weird.

yeah, happens a lot, depending on system and settings...

hi,

I love the CJR Ford Bronco Raptor (from here) but it has some parts that are see-through from cockpit view (as result you can see the track/ground through the model ,in an unrealistic way - really an immersion-breaker).

I adding this in ext_config.ini :

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
MESHES = blackpart, int, BRONCO, Mesh001
CULL_MODE = DOUBLESIDED

but that doesn't fix it... anyone can find a working solution?

It's just an adaptation, nothing too perfect, just for us to have fun and (fill in the historical grids, especially Le Mans).

Do you know how i can find a link for the Maserati Tipo 63 and the Lola Mk6 GT ?

Yiehaaah, I can't wait to drive it. Thank you for your work and time in making this happen, it must have been hard.

Thank you

 

[Perico Lospa]

... I report my specs...

... With the current system, I can run...

Sorry; to be able to compare, I think it would also be important to comment if you play with monitor/s or VR, and in what resolution... Thanks.

Unfortunately not. This week, I was looking for the Lola GT, but no one has done it yet.

I already have this car, is this a free download or a new purchase ? how do you update without having to repurchase ?

 

[PraiseDsun963]

VGT looks fantastic! Can’t wait to try it out soon, when is it expected to be released to the public?

 

[shauncurtis]

If you have purchased it, you should have an email with the update.

 

[shi]

Love the mod but could you swap pits so that the stalls start by the exit and not right on entry? Besides that this is absolutely fantastic.

Thank you.
Do you mean reversing the position of the pit box?
Do you have any real life videos or pictures that show this?
If I can find a real life video or photo that shows the pit box position, I will change it.

Link takes me to a VRC Add to Cart page.....no download button available.

This is the best i can get of the pit lane. Looks like stalls might start after 6 to 8 stalls. It's hard to tell though. Didn't realize how much further into the pits the stalls are now compared to back then.

I forgot to mention I never own a VR, so no VR for both configs and both run one singular monitor. The old systems monitor was an old 2008 24in HP 1080p 60hz display and the current one has a 32in LG Ultra 1440p 165hz.

Hey, how do you turn down the brightness of the gauges when the lights are switched on? I wanted to do some night driving but they are crazy bright..
