Have you checked if singleseater is used as a tag in the specific car?
View attachment 1403342
It prevents that AC thinks it´s a normal car with headlights being active.

Ah Edit, forget about, I read you already have that being in use.

I have deleted all the tags in exchange for tags that are more useful for me like using year and specific raceclass. Is there any overview or list, on what tags have certain functionality for the car.
And is it “single seater” or “singleseater” thats activates that functionality.

"singleseater" and "openwheeler" work for these cars to delete the shadows of nonexistent wheelarches.

I have a question to the ambient occlusion (Nvidia) in extra fx. With triple screen it costs me more than 40 fps, but the visual difference in cockpitview is often huge. Do you have the same expierence?

There is a better compression than DXT5 for DDS files with less visual glitches. In paint.net it's called "BC7 (Linear, DX11+)". You should use this instead of "BC3 (Linear, DXT5)" und compare the results with the uncompressed file. The file size of the DDS will be the same as with DXT5, but you must ALWAYS save the DDS with mipmaps as AC can't create the mipmaps for the new format and the game will crash otherwise. But 21.3MB with mipmaps is better than 64MB for a 4K uncompressed DDS without mipmaps. Just test it.

After having a look at this myself for compressing car skins and track textures I discovered that you may run into issues if a track texture resolution isn't a power of 2 e.g. 510x510 or 510x500. AC will just stall while loading the kn5 where the texture originally came from.

To work around this in a sum what automated way I've created a few batch files that scans all subfolders for any dds files. The first one uses texconv.exe to convert all dds textures to a uncompressed format, remove mips and resizes if required to a pow2 resolution. The second compresses all the uncompressed files with nvcompress.exe to bc7 with mips (lowest h or v size set to 2).

You can also use a tool called DDS Converter but I've been advised the bc7 compression via nvcompress yields better results.

Triple screen is hella taxing when enabled in extra fx. I just use extra fx on triples but single screen rendering with a fov of 27 to 30 dep on the car mod, looks good enough for me with minimal performance hit.

You could also try enable the amd fx superres or something under graphics adjustments to gain a bit more perf.

extra fx is not the problem, If it's just the activation of ambient occlusion

Posted this on CSPdiscord also, but maybe you guys know too:

I've been trying to solve this problem for a while with no luck.
Running newest CSP and Pure (downgrading does not help)

Some car examples that it happens to is the Guerilla GT4 pack. Most Arch cars from his github(except the NSX)
i can hear the car idling but the ACS.exe window is dim and stop responding.
Is there a setting known to do this?

I don't have a fix, but just so that you know you're not alone, exactly the same here.
I tried the CSP version change all the way back to 1.7.9, kunos tracks, I'm not using pure (Default WeatherFX with LCS).
I was trying the GT4 Supra, other cars on same settings and tracks, all good.

Updates:
Tried culling the "AcTools Content Manager" folder in AppData to default all CSP settings. Nope.
Car is encrypted, unpacked data and poked around, car loads as blue crystals, with same, dim, "acs.exe not responding"
Tried unpacking with WinRar instead of 7zip. Nope.

Moar Update: Thanks to @saXXXon for a direction to look in. Appreciated.
Apps. It's always apps, even when it's not apps. (ref DNS 🤣)
In this case it was a Brake Temp Lua app recommended by a trustworthy modder.

Thanks but what is the rest doing to the cars, from who did you get this info, or what is your source?
Could be very interesting knowledge

I can't seem to make that link work? Fails with a "decryption key invalid" error.
Tried multiple browsers.
Edit: There's one too few characters in the link. Probably missed the last char in the copy-pasta.

Just try and error, I had an open wheel car with strange shadows appearing, looking what this car makes stand out from similar cars and then it clicked.

I would also like to know if there is an official documentation for these tags. Maybe somewhere on GitHub??

Hello guys, you probably can help me out with this bug i encountered;
I recreated the 2011 n24 race with 60 cars.
As track, iused the Nurburgring mod with 72 pitboxes, pyvver2024 skin. When i start the race without, skip practise, skip quali; half of the grid starts in the pits and me as well. That part of cars never leaves the pits.
There must a easy way to fix this, i guess.
Thanks in advance👍

yep try again

That's the ticket. Thanks for another Super GT keeper

Hello,

I have a question regarding AI. Is there any value in the ai.ini perhaprs that helps to keep them in the draft longer before starts to overtake? Or this one is controlled with the AI aggression more or less?

Any solution for this?

Hi everyone! How can I fix rear mirrors? When AI comes overtaking on the right, mirrors show the car coming on the left... On the other side of the track.

@Racer63 You should be able to fix that with the car mirror config app from within the game...as shown.

Thanks interesting info, strangely even car some modders did not know this. I will also put a warning message at the “how to remove tags” topic on Overtake forum.
guess this weekend will be another no AC-race weekend, but an “fill inn the right tags for 1100 AC cars” weekend.

Thanks, but using a different PPF doesnt make any difference. It appeares only on this track, so I think its track related.

Do you have "Draw grooves over track, but before dynamic entities" selected in Track Adjustments?
