darn, never noticed till now you mention it , but it seems GTPlanet shrinks the image.. when I download an image I posted it's no longer the same size (pixel-wise) as the original.
(left the original at 100% , right is the image from the website - which is significatly shrunk down)
@Fanapryde this does not happen when you post a png? (can you check pls - compare a download to original ,see if it's still the same dimensions) Thx!
EDIT: redacted (as it seems we can generate previews directly in PNG) Lets hope with PNG the pic is not reduced in pixel size when uploaded...
Hoping a site admin reads this , and says he/she will change a setting so that JPG's (and any image really) retains their full size from now on... 🤞
EDIT2: I'll conduct a test myself, as I figures out how to generate in png now
Also with PNG the image is made smaller!
I upload an image of 2044x1150 and when I download it again from this post, it's only 1200 x 676...
EDIT3: and when I upload a 1200x676 image it remains the same size after upload/download
TEST4: with JPG the same , 1200x676 remains 1200x676
so it seems anything beyond 1200x676 gets shrunk down to 1200x676

1.
You could edit the texture (as you have)
place edited textures in ./track_name/texture
or
2.
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT...]
ACTIVE = 1
MATERIALS = dirt_edge_01, grass? ; <---- replace with texture name
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.20 ; <--- higher is brighter
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.20 ; <--- lower is darker
PROP_... = ksSpecular, 0 ; <--- grass should always have 0 spec
or
3.
edit
assettocorsa\extension\textures\grass_fx/highlands.dds / generic.dds
place edited file in ./track_name/extension and adjust the path acordingly

Lack of buyers happened! They need a complete rebranding or they'll just go extinct. Half luxury didn't make it, so i guess they're going futuristic full luxury. But for the better or the worst, they have not sold anything last year, and what we witness is probably a last chance attempt at rebranding and getting some traction. Before, well, there's no Jaguar anymore.Jaguar has made some most legendary cars in history. Even XK and F-Type were still amazing. Now they make electric SUV's only. And I don't even want to say anything about their latest campaign. This is a family forum.

Thanks, will try, but from what I see the smoke doesn’t come from the tyres (better visible in replay)
EDIT: it does fix the issue...

What happend? So sad that is, but legendary cars do not earn the big money of a company. The mass product makes

Hi Guys, I'm wondering if anyone can solve this issue that's suddenly started happening in the photos I'm taking.
I took this photo yesterday:
I took this one today, but don't understand why it all looks so pixelated:
I haven't altered any of the settings of the 'nice screenshots' in Content Manager, and have taken photos today with other car/track combinations, which are also pixelated.
I'm using the latest Content Manager, Pure LCS 2.35 and CSP 0.25 preview 1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is a new link? This one seems it has been deleted. I would like these cars pleaseHere's the link for the Mini Pack (1980-1981), some prints of the cars and a preview of the Mini Pack (1979, we already have the Lotus 79 and the Ferrari 312 T4), for those who just want to have a little fun, don't mind with the perfection of official games.
They are just "simple" conversions, just some parts of the cars, that we have in other simulators but that Assetto Corsa gives a different "face" by virtue of being more current than rFactor and GTR2.

The number 2 method is what I was aiming for, seems to be the easiest approach. I find that many tracks have too bright grass, looking cartoonish. This time it was the 1973 Targa Florio track that bugged me, and it has a lot of ground textures, so using method number 1 as I've been doing would be too much work.
For that particular track, method 3 is also an option, as it uses its own grass_fx-texture file placed in the track folder already.
Thanks!

This is the issue ticket I have submitted to the CSP github page.If anyone has information on this I would be so very greatful.
https://github.com/gro-ove/actools/issues/123
When I am creating a skin or updating a material in CMshowroom,the raised/lowered effect from a normals texture is very different from what I see ingame.
I frequently have to flip the y channel and or rotate it to work properly ingame.(using the photoshop action located in Assetto Corsa sdk folder)
For instance gloves.If I export the normals texture from a set of gloves,ingame the results will be completely wrong.Raised where it should be lowered and vice versa.Inverting the y channel in photoshop will sometimes get it to react to light correctly but even then sometimes you have to rotate a channel to get the now correctly raised areas to render hilights and shadows from the correct direction.
Its a mess honestly.I have spent days just to get a clear handle on this and I'm still not certain I have it right.
Another example is the crewmans face.Incorrect rendering of the normals texture makes him look hideous in some lighting situation.(because the normals are fighting the AO)
I dont know which is correct,the game or CMshowroom,but I suspect the game is rendering normals textures incorrectly because it looks like Kunos knew they had a problem...hence the photoshop action they supplied in the sdk folder.
In one instance where I was creating a txNormal file from photoshop,It didnt work correctly til I first flipped the image horizontally then created the normals texture with the opposite y channel setting than what CMshowroom wanted.Then flip the resulting normals image horizontally again.This seems very similar to what the photoshop action performs on an already available normals file.
Its maddening trying to create things and not even know if you doing it correctly or if you will need to fix everything once the underlying problem is corrected.
Please help and thank you.

Does anyone know what's up with this new Goodwood Circuit (gt_goodwood_circuit) that's hit Breathe's list? Link:
It looks like there's been a number of models (planes, stanchions and such) added, ambient audio added to the pit lane a la Brno, and changes made to the pit straight environment - but I can't find any info on what exactly was changed past that. I have been using racinjoe's excellent 0.99 touch-up as my default for years - was the original mantasisg one the base for this new version, or was the racinjoe version used? There's no author or version info provided in the ui.json.
It looks intriguing, but I'd like to know more before considering moving to this one - and if these changes could be ported to the racinjoe version, all the better.
Cheers to anyone who may know.

Thanks, that was the problem. When I originally downloaded the update, I didn't unpack the folder "AC Files" before installing. This time I opened that up and installed "apps" and "content" and the LED settings are in there now.
I know I've said this in the past but I'm getting increasingly frustrated with this whole sim racing genre. It's just too much info you need to know, computer stuff you need to know, and it's very tedious. It's just so far over my head and I get so angry that I can't figure things out quickly. Plus there's the physical problem it's giving me. I'm 59 now with a bad back. I bought this Fanatec cockpit rig a few months ago and I can't sit in it for more than 20 minutes or so without the right lower quarter of my back feeling like it's on fire. But it was the same before I got it with the portable GT Omega wheel stand and regular racing type office chair I had.
Don't get me wrong, when everything works, it's great. But I seem to have so many problems getting it to that great point. I'm probably only using about 60% or so of Assetto Corsa's capability because I just don't understand how it all works. I haven't updated Pure in a while because I don't remember how I did it the last time and I'm afraid I'll mess it up so bad trying that it will make the game unplayable.
Everyone here has been really helpful when I've asked how to fix my problems. That hasn't been the case other places. Some people have been incredibly rude and nasty when I've asked what I thought was a very simple question. But I suppose that's the way gaming culture is.
I just feel so bad that I keep having to ask over and over again for help. I'm sure the folks at VRC and RSS think, "oh no not another email from him". I desperately need a new home PC to replace my 10 year old one and part of me thinks I should take this one and strip all of the games off of it and just use it for home purposes. But I've also got many issues on that side of it I can't figure out either and need help with.

Shouldnt that be MESHES instead of MATERIALS.It worked properly on the car I am working on(thank you so very much) after making the change and using the needed Mesh names for my car.
Thanks to Masscot for that fix...Now I still need the instrument guage glass to stop reflecting the road under the car...any help please?

How did you disable it? Deleted everything from the ext_config.ini?
Don´t use AMD FidelityFX. That could be the issue.
Exactly, deleted everything from ext_config.ini.
As long as it only appaears in replay, its not that big of an issue...just a little annoying.
If anybody is interested, I added the Cable fix from @Masscot to Le Mans 1991 and deleted these strange looking grass tracks (rename txt to zip).
Is there a fix for the holes in the two strips of grass at the second chicane?
How do you make the cones at the first corner collidabe (or even movable)?

Im not sure but I like it better than the rest except the chicane wall has no collision which is so disappointing. I'm not familiar if there is an easy way for me to fix that because I'm not a modder. Otherwise I love the little things added to the environment.Does anyone know what's up with this new Goodwood Circuit (gt_goodwood_circuit) that's hit Breathe's list? Link:

You can turn off Windows Defender or other anti-virus software. Download the mod. Then turn your anti-virus back on.

I remember having a virus generator for dos back in the early 90's. Could make custom versions of all the classic viruses like Cascade, infecting .com and .exe-files.Mods dont have viruses... but if you want, I can make one that does
There was also a virus, which only feature was to randomly swap keyboard inputs from a to s, p to o and so on, making you think you just made more typos than usual. Can't remember its name. Those were the days.
Wonder if that still works. And if modern antivirus-software will stop it. 🤣

I understand you, bro: 56 years old here and I also suffer from some back discomfort, although apparently not as pronounced as yours.
I don't know in what position you will have the cockpit adjusted, but I noticed more comfort (fixed baquet in my case) by lying down more than I was at the beginning, with my feet practically at the height of the "derriere" and my back slightly reclined back, trying to imitate a position halfway between a GT and an F1. In addition to the improvement in my back, I have noticed that my feet swell less when I spend several hours sitting in the cockpit, since apparently before I had them too low relative to the seat. Now the only thing that hurts is my butt, but from spending so much time behind the wheel.
And regarding the computer problems... well, it seems that it's part of the experience, and I'm very afraid that the only solution to nip the problems in the bud would be to switch to playing on... (gasp!) console... In my case, since I only play Assetto Corsa I only have to worry about one game, which is already quite a task, by the way...
To try not to constantly ask about the same questions and since I've always been quite forgetful, I have become accustomed to saving in Favorites links to messages or videos of solutions to problems that arise, to take a look at them again if necessary...
And although it's cool to be in the latest fashion, other thing to avoid problems is follow the "if isn't broken, don't fix it" approach; I don't usually update applications that work well for me unless it's a necessity... For example, until recently I was using CSP version 0.1.79, and I have only updated it because it's almost mandatory for a lot of car mods that are appearing lately.
On a side note, I also tried installing Pure, but seeing (at least for me 😅) how complicated is to adjust to make it look right, I went back to the old reliable Sol, which more or less gives me what I need. I don't know why I didn't follow my prerogative "if isn't broke..." 😩

Gumroad no longer supports paypal purchases. So he's set the prices to that to stop people from buying the mods until Gumroad makes it so he can get paid again.Is this a ****ing joke lol
