The real load comes with low sunangles.
You can compare the load with CSP render stats app and you can switch shadow resolutions ingame with the video mode app. There you see the bigger load. Its a direct and linear load progression. There is no magic behind it. If you have shadows at 4096x4096 it will use 4x the load like 2048x2048.

Also you always need to check for the pop-in/pop-out shadows. Like at tracks with hills, set a low sunangle and drive around the track. Only with a high 3rd value you will prevent those shadows fluctuations.

With your suggested settings I no longer see the cascade split anywhere even with late day long shadows. I'm using 4096 shadows and it looks great. Thanks!

edit: I found a few places where the split is still evident but it's *closer to me in cockpit view but seems less imposing (perhaps depending on how far I'm looking ahead?)

 

[GT3Masters97]

in the skin ext_config, if I replace number of "[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_X] (X is number 0/1/2/3) by [MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]" wiper is working.

other issue, I have very low power of braking, I tried with and without extended physics without succes.

EDIT : I think it's because you haven't anything about ABS on the electronics.ini file
IF you add this below it's Ok (maybe settings aren't accurate) :

[ABS]
SLIP_RATIO_LIMIT=0.17
CURVE=
PRESENT=0
ACTIVE=0
RATE_HZ=58

Afaik this (and all other GT1 cars) did not have ABS, right ?

GT1 cars did not feature ABS or TCS

GT1 class does not have abs or tcs. I think ChemFlummi did not include them for this reason

I'll take into account what was said about the mesh adjustment, at least this way I won't have to redo the windshield wipers from scratch again LOL


Now a little question: since I switched to pure LCS and the new CSP I have all these graphic artifacts (lights and reflections with every PP-Filter I have). Does anyone know what causes them?

 

[jac0]

You can't have superp settings for all situations with these 3 values!!!

Those are the distances of the shadow cascades.

So in AC the shadows, or better the shadows resolution, or better the resulution of the sun light processing on track objects is splitted into 3 or 4 parts. Also the resolution within such a cascade is dynamic, dependend on the range from one to another cascade.

So the first one (the nearest one) has the biggest resolution. It is the resulotion you set for the shadows in the AC video settings.

So the higher a value is there, the more distant the next shadow cascade is, but you will also lower resolution if you widen the cascade distance.

View attachment 1390918

So the quality of shadows in AC is always balanced to reduce the load on the GPU.

You can set it very high quality, but only with the cost of being very rough in the distance or vise versa.

The only way to have overall superb quality is to set the 3rd value very big and set shadows resolution to the highest possible.


And you have many many optimization methods in AC to bypass the shadows rendering, because it is always heavy. So you might see sudden unshadowed things out of a certain FOV.


So sunlight light processing is the most GPU heavy render thing and thats why there are so many methods to minimize the load.
Because noone will understand it, that for good shadows your fps will massively go down.

Here are settings for very good shadows:

But with a very high GPU load!

thank you Peter for that great explanation!
I will play around with it and land on a comfortable middle ground...

Cheers and have a good weekend!

Ferrari 500 Mondial

Pininfarina​

Coupe(v1.0) by F40 LM Lover

It is tested in CSP 2.5 Preview1
You need CSP latest Version

Thank you @F40LM for releasing such great car, which might have been tested in 2.5, but works flawlessly in 2.4 preview211.(looking at you URD!)
Thank you so much for the impeccable driver animation:
2) Interior Animations
-. GAS, Brake, Clutch Pedal with Feet : Don't need Key assign
-. Trun Signal Switch with Arm & Hand : need Key Assign
-. Lighting Signal Switch with Arm & Hand : need Key Assign
-. Windows Open with Arm & Hand
-. Fog Light with Arm & hand
-. H-Pattern Shifter with Arm & Hand
-. Horn With Arm & Hand
The second this week, not sure if it is a new trend, I hope it is, but as a VR driver, it is very much appreciated and makes AC feel so 2025.

Not a fizix expert, but I don't believe the electronic.ini should ever be left blank, no matter how opinionated the modder/driver is about <clarkson-anorak-voice>XYZ CAR DID NOT HAVE ABS!!</clarkson-anorak-voice>.

There are driving modes which activate ABS by default. If the electronics.ini is deliberately left blank, at game time the AC engine could be left in an indeterminate state, because the entries required to process ABS simply aren't there. Symptoms are typically a 0.5s period oscillation of the steering (particularly on older non-DD wheels) and a non-responsive brake pedal. This can be fixed at the setup screen by manually turning ABS off (every.time.you.drive.the.car) Ask me how I know

If the electronics is populated, the values will be used, and PRESENT and ACTIVE parameters will be respected. If these are both set to zero (=0) the ABS will automagically be turned off correctly, no matter what the driving mode is set to. Ditto for TRACTION CONTROL/EDL.

I have yet to experiment with culling the other parameters in the file if PRESENT and ACTIVE set to 0, to see if anything catches fire. Soon

[ClimaxF1]

this is all good and well , but the brakelights are no longer distinguishable when lights are on (without having to resort to turning PP Effects on), so it's no fav+ in my book...

Not sure what is causing the problem on your side but definetely don't have this problem

Are you not supposed to have PP effects on, could be wrong but not sure why you have it off

I mentioned chem simply because he took care of the physics. But all these little fixes will be added in a mini update soon

Knowing Bugs: driver shift animation

As we have seen in 2 mods this week, close to perfect animation is available and possible and gives AC a much deserved modern feeling.
I hope some of our beloved mod enhancers will dedicate some time and energy to update such crucial aspect of our favourite car mods.

I preffer PP off , for VR performance reasons (I'm running Oculus pixels per display 1.8 , high resolution, and then PP introduces application framedrops)

There are examples of cars that have visible brakelights without having to use PP (Glare), so it is doable!

For example the Dodge Viper (SR I) RT/10 - 1992 by Alberto Daniel Russo; Real Specs (rs_viper_rt10_92) , for which I created/updated some chameleon skins today :

[Ararelyracer]

They dont seem blurred on the Image. This how used discs will look 👍🏻

Maybe I should have provided a snap shot of the texture file, it was supposed to be a drilled disc and I do not see the holes at all. So somehow it seems to me that when the car is stationary, it is is still showing the blurred texture.

I have the problem that the wheels of some openwheelers are not displayed in the race. Openwheelers and single-seaters are activated in the content. Newest CSP.

Is there a way to fix this?

Do you mean the texture of the tyre ?

always use the tag open wheeler on these cars

Interesting, so these tags like “open wheeler” “F1”, “1923” “RWD” or whatever are also for certain aspects of the car. Just delete a whole bunch and changed it to tags that are for me more usefully.

BTW think @Papifix is talking about the flash view of some floating cars without 4 wheels in the distance. I have the same, was thinking it has to do with bad made LOD’s as not all the cars have that hovering appearance at the distance. Luckily the members here can explain that correctly and even give tips to correct.

F1 2013 1.0 Update dropped​

Changelog :
Fixed Suspension being wrong in redbull mercedes williams

Fixed leds animation, either they were only 3 leds active, or leds were full at only 60% of gear speed.

Fixed drs led shaders, and made them actually work

Fixed some helmets

Added engine sounds, for redbull and marussia (prophetimus), ferrari (ac_racer00), mercedes and lotus (FrixonPilot)

Added Massa helmet skins, forgot about them, India Alonso and Brazil Massa helmet skin included (Nickray)

Fixed Mclaren chrome looking weird, and hands not being placed correctly

Fixed tororosso lodB having wrong texture

Fixed Ferrari cockpit flickering

Added Wet tyre support

Fixed Lotus not being playable because it crashed for "driver file missing" that was just a minor corruption in the folder, copied pasted all files into a new folder and renamed it back to lotus and it worked somehow

 

[BruceD]

Hi !!
Lately on some circuits or cars I get an error "Failed to allocate gpu memory".
I use the latest CSP version and "Pure".
Thank you for the help..

Not sure if someone has answered you yet but it's the csp version, some tracks (and cars apparently) are not compatible with it for whatever reason and you'll need to downgrade to a lower version.

 

[Frank25]

Hm. My testing was indeed with the RSS Lanzo with CSP Physics enabled at JohnR's Mosport. Multiple trials, and I saw no laser beams after reverting to Pure Gamma. In LCS, they were everywhere.

Latest CSP preview. Probably something to do with the interaction between Pure and CSP then, specifically for these cars.

As I couldn't fix the problem with laser beams from the exhaust pipes and broken AI cars with extended physics (always 2-4 AI cars don't start and go crazy) with CSP 0.2.5-preview1, I downgraded to CSP 0.2.4-preview1 and everything works fine now.

Re: Zandvoort23 and @RacingSounds superb work on that! Congrats! Finally a decent version. And nice to involve @Pyyer in your work, so we probably get some nice extension as well in the future.

On the laser beam thing, someone suggested that it was the exhaust glow... I had laser exhaust on the lotus 47 (wsc legends), so I went into ext-config.ini, searched "glow" to find a section that professed to do that. Commenting that section out seems to have removed the laser beams.

EDIT: Subsequently, the laser appeared on another wscl car that didn't have any glow stuff in its ext-config. I have noticed that the wscl cars are culprits more often than not (recently), for whatever reason. They seem to contain alot of emissive stuff that may be tripping over some csp glitchery...

I think it started to erase at restart at the last csp update.
Also, I'm pretty much gaming daily so it shouldnt disapear that quickly

Trying to recreate the "Mille Miglia 1955" using different routes to represent the variety of the era (with what we have available).

Brescia ( TvCam )
S.Moss / D.Jenkinson - Mercedes 300 SLR


Brescia >> Ravenna ( TvCam )
U.Maglioli /L. Monteferrario - Ferrari 118 LM


Ravenna >> Rimini ( onboard )
S.Moss / D.Jenkinson - Mercedes 300 SLR

Ravenna >> Rimini ( TvCam )
S.Moss / D.Jenkinson - Mercedes 300 SLR


Just for information on how I'm trying to simulate the "Mille Miglia 1955".

I'm using 20 different cars (most of them are available for download on websites, some I adapted and others I invented).

-Ferrari 118/121 LM / Ferrari 750 Monza
-Mercedes 300 SLR / Mercedes 300 SL
-AM DB3s / AM DB2.4
-Jaguar D-Type
-Maserati A6GCS / A6GCS Coupe / 300s
-Lancia D24 / Aurelia B20
-Triumph TR2
-Austin-Healey 100s
-Gordini T24s
-Porsche 550 Spyder / 356
-Alfa Giulietta Sprint / Alfa 1900SS Zagato
-Fiat 8V


In total (62 participants).

1. Stage 1: for this route (I recorded the times of all the cars, as it was done individually), but I only recorded the main ones.
2. Stage 2: according to the numbering (starting order), I grouped them into groups of 5, 6 or 7 cars (I chose one to drive) and kept a note of the times of the "AI cars".
3. Stage 3: I did another shuffle (divided into 15 groups of 4 or 5)..still according to the starting order (the last 30 were separated into pairs).

As in the first part of the route (in the real race), the slowest cars arrived as time went by, that's how I did it.

In the other stages (routes), I will change a little more.

Wonder what the next thing will be
