I use this one currently. Gives quite a decent and realistic look.

Some examples:

Showroom is retrolux, you may find it on RD.

Would you happen to have the .cmpreset file for this? Looks really nice.
Anyone else with .cmpreset files for encrypted previews I'd love to have a a look.

You mentioned earlier you're using a tv to play. If the tv is blending frames together or has input lag: Have you tried enabling something along the lines of "game mode" on the tv? Lots of tvs have frame interpolation, motion smoothing and maybe other bells and whistles to "enhance" the image for video content but for gaming you really just want the raw frames displayed as directly and quickly as possible. "Game mode" should do just that.

If vsync is causing you more stutter/judder than the same framerate but without vsync, it's possible you're dipping below the refreshrate and so to keep it synced to frames, it halves the framerate so it can show the old frame twice rather than showing an incomplete new one (which would be "screen tearing"). Triple buffering aleviates this issue. Worth a try.

You could also try using Rivatuner to cap your framerate to your refreshrate (instead of vsync) and do it in a way that makes the screen tearing happen in a particular area of the screen rather than all over the place. This way you can put it out of the way, effectively eliminating it, but you could leave vsync off. Haven't used the program in a long time so I can't tell you where to click but it may be worth looking into.

Otherwise, a video of the phenomenon would be very helpful, yes. If you post one, could you notify me? I'm interested in this.

I hear everything you said and have tried some of what you mentioned, but the fact remains that this problem only occurs on newer CSP versions. If this was an issue with frame dips, input lag, etc. I would think it would always happen even on the older CSP version I use. Somewhere along the lines, Ilja must have fixed, changed, altered, etc. some CSP setting that my system just doesn't like.

I reached out to him for some help, but he never bothered to respond. Not even with a 'Sorry, no clue'. Considering I had given him $5 a month for about 4 years, I thought that was pretty inconsiderate which is why I dropped my Patreon support a year or so ago. When a new CSP version drops, it's easy enough to find it on the net so need to keep giving money to a guy who doesn't seem interested in helping. That's why I still support @Peter Boese even though I haven't used any newer Pure versions in a year or two. At least if I have a question, even for the old version I use (Pure0.193) he takes the time to try and help.

With permission from @RacingSounds , I created a quick and not very good raceday layout for his excellent Zandvoort 2023 track. It was thrown together quickly so there are plenty of mistakes and I can't vouch for the accuracy of the placement of the grandstands. I used the 2020 version of the track as a guide on where to place things. Also, because of the terrain changes he made, the car objects I used don't line up right so you will see some floating and some sunken cars. I plan to do some more work on this eventually, like adding some sponsor billboards in front of the grandstands and a few other things. My hope is that @Pyyer beats me to it so that we can get a good race day mod for the track, but this will have to do for now.

The mod will overwrite @RacingSounds original ext_config files, but no changes were made to his settings. I needed to add a line at the bottom in order for the included grass skins to work, but you do not need to use them. The raceday layout will still work without one of the skins enabled. As for the skins, they will get progressively more burnt out looking as you go down the line. There is also less saturated versions of the skins included if you find the grass too vibrant.

As always, please let me know of any mistakes or suggestions on how to improve it.

Hi @racinjoe013. Just wanted to ask, is it only me or does the pit wall at the start/finish not have any collisions? I just had a race and I ended up going through the wall and pit building as well.
I haven't checked if the original mod has the same issue, but I was using this one when it happened.

I didn't make the track, only the raceday layout addition, but I can check and see if it does. If it doesn't, the original track maker would have to fix it. I did nothing to the track with my addon layout except to add some additional trackside objects.

EDIT: Yes, there is one section of the wall that does not have the 1WALL designation so it would not have collision physics. I might be able to fix is by inserting an additional kn5 file through a config file entry, but it would probably be best if it was fixed by @RacingSounds on the track itself.
