Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

Other than the tracks' specific vao patches @Den_88 told you about, some ppfilters are heavily relying on them. The usual go to is in Pureconfig, Light tab, vao.amount, vao track exponent and vao dynamic exponent.

Bur the new one that is trickier to discover is in the "ambient light V2" menu, at the bottom.

Depending on the ppfilter they can exponentially interfere with global ao, especially if the light.ambient.level and the daylight.multiplier are at high values

I just tested Luis B's Algarve Portimao 2023 which also has a main kn5 VAO patch and there's no issue with flickering light in the cockpit, so maybe the VAO patch for Brno (and other affected tracks) is borked, or too aggressive or something?
Anyway, it doesn't seem to be an issue with track VAO patches in general, which is good news.
If anyone is able, please try making a new VAO patch for Automotodrom Brno and I'll gladly test it.

In general, is that an issue only with VR? Because I mostly don´t recognize any of the issues you post here. Just wondering.

Maybe, or one of a gazillion different CSP tickbox combos.
So, for you there's no varying light levels in the cockpit at Brno on a clear sunny midsummer day with high sun angle?

Yeah, i remember when the SKY ppfilter was peaking, they were all about baking (cooking? Can't remember) all tracks over and over, cause it looked great in forest sceneries.

If it's cockpit related, i'll definitly have a look in the ambient.v2 menu, i used to cap the light.advanced_ambient_light_vao_exp at 0,35 in my ppfilters, and your post immediatly made me think of why i use to do that

Thanks to Rob McNail for fixing the no-pitlane-ai problem with Southport Gold Coast... V2 update available now!

Oh okay! OMG they look amazing, and I'm already hyped, keep me on the loop with these like with the Hyundai please! And good work!

you can experiment with the config,perhaps the creator of the VAO patch used a different algorithm or settings.

I'm more curious as to why a VAO patch seems to be affecting ambient light by casting invisible shadows over clean-and-clear areas of the track, as if the car is driving under winter trees or something.

There are many things which are influenced by VAO, like in Pure ppfilters it is used to determine if you are in a closed building or not and then graphics are adapted. So if there would be a wrong VAO it wiould really cause strange things.

You can have a look at the Pure Config "Scene" tab. There you have some helper functions and you can switch them off:
Maybe also watch those state values

Actually this tunnel helper is just active for the Shutoko map, where it is kind of needed. But there you can see if you are in an area where the VAO is much present.

here it is, Survolt. in very early WIP. I will be constantly fixing it.

32€ till january 30, then 39,99. I don't think my older GPU can manage it even for a test
