The only "animation" I have is the drs.
if you mean this:
Ok thank you guys for the tipsI think including them isn't a problem, maybe eliminate it in LOD C and D as they are loaded when the car is quite far away, I don't think you'll notice their absence
That's a real shame, because a sudden cloudburst can sometimes make it almost impossible to get to the pits if you're on slicks.
It does impact a lot, yes. GPU is not that much affected by it in fact, it's a CPU thing more than anything. The less objects/triangles, the less information to carry, the better. Simple as that (or close to). Especially if the track is already pretty demanding
try deactivating the sunbliding shader in Pure config->shaders
seems he took down those pics... all I see is black :For those still wondering about the graphical improvements that LCS will bring, Peter Boese posted this comparison. My mind exploded:
That's nice, i truly don't want to bother with lods, but unfortunately I am not PC Masterrace and have one of the weakest PC from everyone here so I am the first target of the lod necessity 😔
In the AI mind...

The Kunos mod guideline is actually quite good to help for optimization (dev folder, like the kseditor). It's not a formal rule, but it helps. LOD C should be minimalistic as much as possible, LOD D is close to a placeholder (for some cars, 1 or 2 object/material is enough), as it is not meant to be seen "clearly". LOD B is the tricky one, the transition can be hard to get right. But the general rule is : if at a driving/replay point of view it is not visible, it shouldn't be there at all.
Edit : as a reference, what I usually do for the meshes :
- If the object is not visible/useful anymore, too small or hidden in sight : get rid of it
- If the object is part of a general thing/do not attract sight : decimate from 0.2 to 0.1 per LOD, join per material as much as possible
- for main objects : clean-up manually and/or decimate from 0.5 to 0.2 depending on the result, each one is different...
There might be a better solution for making LODs, but that's the "power" of what was Simplygon. Those were not good LODs, but they were LODs, it was far enough for the majority of models. And soooooo much time saving...
Very well aware Peter, still wanted to say thank you for what we have so farHey, sorry but all will be different soon. I stopped the transformation of Pure (current version) to LCS.
I describe it here:
I would be surprised that you would get hate here.
Why are you sad? You found, or rediscovered, something you enjoy, good for you. AC, is not the be all of SIM racing, some prefer something else, all good.
.
In object mode, select object - ctrl A - scale, to ensure the scaling is rightModelling and mapping 99% complete. One issue with normals on the rear bumper I've fudged. Can anyone help?

Try these. Needs the new steer.ksanim as well otherwise the shifting animation breaks.
I've been through this situation several times already. After months (years?) of abandoning AMS2, I'm back to the routine of: install it / configure it / play it / big exclamation for the beautiful graphics and excellent optimization (VR) / few days (hours?) later: big disappointment for the ****** physics and weird FFB = delete and go back to AC. At this point I already apologize to AC for having been unfaithful for a week. (Repeat the process a year later).at risk of getting some hate here , I tried AMS2 again, as it has also a Content Manager apparently , and some pretty good mods...
I'm actually a bit sad to admit, it feels more immersive and responsive compared to our beloved AC.
Environments aand sound has more detail , and most important , the FFB feels much better imho.
(I know it's all a bit subjective, but still ...)
One thing that is definitely better in AC are the mirrors (they are not real in AMS2 but always fake/virtual, so you can't see your own car in them)... and I will never abandon AC (it's the best to collect cars, without actually racing them
Now onto my question:
Has anyone got a good LUT and FFB settings, for a Thrustmaster T300, so I can get FFB feeling up to par with what I feel in AMS2?
I also have AMS2 and rFactor 2, AMS2 definitely has a 1 up in the details and pretty department. I'm not into the physics, it has been a while though. I do like rfactor 2, the FFB is fantastic, physics and details are good. Its not a pretty sim compared to AMS2. And simply I always go back to AC and hope Kunos updates the tyre model in AC Evo to rFactor standards. AC is easily my favorite, but I'd still like to try iRacing 1 day.at risk of getting some hate here , I tried AMS2 again, as it has also a Content Manager apparently , and some pretty good mods...

That would be the culprit. If you are dead set on running a full race sim with every car in attendance then all I could recommend would be turning on FSR in Content Manager, but that still might not give you enough headroom.@drivewilliams
Just for fun I took your suggestion and as you can see in the attached pic, the game loaded up the 8gb before I even got in the car. That's with 32 opponents at Sebring.

, just added some cars for Le Mans. Using Le Mans 2017 Tiago Lima/Jim Lloyd/Terra21 version.
