i really like to know what the diehards use for a csp and pure version

There's no perfect answer to that imo, you have modders creating tracks without CSP, HSS studios relies on CSP 0.2.1 and Pure 0.2, I know some creators here still use CSP 0.179 and Pure 1.8 (which still has a very good perf/bug ratio), personnally with Broken AI lua and the last CSP (0.2.5) and Pure gamma 2 i'm having excellent graphics, medium FPS performances and very little annoying bugs from time to time; So much has been slightly upgraded over the last 2 years it's freaking hard to keep track of what would impact your personnal experience.

The broken AI was my main concern, it's fixed by a third party lua at the moment.

As for the graphics and Pure, i'm still a bit torn with the more oversaturated and overbright results from last pure versions. Uchimura tonemapping is great but kinda dark, Lottes is better for close contrast, but the original Sensitometric was so realistic... Hard to pick up a favourite.

Its the gamma shaders that are mostly dull and weak. So actually Pure LCS is the way to go. With the next version end November or early December there will be a massive graphics update and new post processing effects.
Compared to LCS, Gamma will always look like an old game due to the false rendering.


The new version will have much better dynamics of the skydomes:

also the skydomes got a big update of their textures quality

I fixed the horizon part and its rendering. So now the skydomes are integrated much better into the world.
Also i was able to fix the cubemaps reflection problem!

in former versions and in the default wfx, the cubemaps have no fog renderiing. So if you got foggy weather, the reflections are still showing a clear sky and such.

before the fix:

after the fix:

So actually its always the best to use the latest version of Pure. I'm contantly updating and fixing it.

I use the latest PURE LCS and the latest CSP preview, I have literally 0 issues and great performance on a potato.

Could Pure be causing (or anything to do with) the flickering shadows on driver's gloves that sometimes occurs?
Using standard Pure, not LCS.

Pure has no influence on that. I don't modify the shadows paramaters in the wfx.

So it can only be the shadow settings itself. Is it different with the "default" weather style?

 

[dragster666]

NM_detail is bugged, at least for me. SO i use the default kskinnedmesh. But it should only be textures issues related

When it's like that, the object orientation must be 90 degrees, show the axis in tool to see if Y axis is on top, if it isn't then change it. Would be an explanation why your object get flipped in kseditor

View attachment 1404006

Thank you but the same issue still applies.

I've rotated the Y axis 90 degrees so it faces the top however now when i load the mesh in KsEditor the mesh is flipped correctly however for some odd reason its placed at the center,underneath the car...

The mesh looks like this on both KsSkinnedMesh and the NM_Detail variant of the shader for some reason. But whenever i give it a another shader that's not KsSkinned it comes back to its original place.

The Broken AI lua, which you mentioned, is it the Broken Car Kicker? If not, could you please shere the name of the app?

 

[Lracer]

Do we really need to play with ppfilters? Or is the included from Pure a good choice?

 

[CMonroe]

Guys, have the

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]

MESHES = ?
CAST_SHADOWS = 1

definitions been deactivated or have other parameters? They stopped working on my end. Running CPS 0.2.5 preview1.

Cheers!

 

[The Vampire]

That's very subjective, but I just use Pure LCS with Pure and PureVR (both at default settings). I never tweak it.

Yeah that's the one. Fixed every AI issues i had with the latest CSP.

Funny annoying bug lastly are the shadow disapearing under the cars while looking thru the 1930s little windshields. It drives me crazy, i know it's probably a CSP related issue, or a shader replacement to make, but i've seen people not experiencing it and it's driving me crazy.

@Peter Boese, i'm still a pure gamma daily user, but can't wait for the new LCS update and Skydomes 👍

UPDATE

Car by: ShokeusAct80's

skins: me

Inside the car's main folder is a 7-zip with 4k skins, these folders just have the main skin file in them and nothing else so if you want 4k install them. Please be aware the car in the AO is small so as a result a 6k skin is not really 6k its more like 4k. I havent even looked to see what the 4k skins look like.........probably not great in terms of quality.

to install: drag and drop

what i have done

tweaked the 6 skins that were already done (some had major work others not so much)

added 6 real skins for a total of 12

darkened all rollcages and wheels as none of this car can have an AO as the AO is knackered

i am unable to stop the z-fighting with the window stickers

Something nerdy for us all classic F1 fans in the forum... yes the all five of them haha...

1982-1984 sponsors skins for Kyalami_1967 track. I also did these for rj_kyalami_1976 but these are a bit improved. I use this track version in my seasons as it's less crashy. Correct Marlboro bridge and improved the hand painted WesBank 1980's logo. All old Shell signs replaced with 80's logos, etc. Nothing special but I love playing my 1982, 1983 and 1984 seasons through and through and small nerdy details make it even better. I don't want to see any 60's stuff. After I modded the SD cars' suspension Kyalami 1967 is pretty much crash free now.

And here's a special one. The last race of 1981 and 1982 was Caesars Palace. Completely exhausted Nelson Piquet cemented his 1981 WDC there after Carlos Reutemann had a disastrous race. In 1982 Keke Rosberg was crowned a World Champion here.

It's a track that was built over a parking lot in Las Vegas. Many people say it's the worst F1 track ever but it's actually pretty cool to drive. The ads are absolutely spot on. The author is "Anonymous". He also made very good Dallas 1984 track. They are not pretty though and very basic but hmm... clean and driveable.

We improved the ai with pekkehe and it's now much less of a crashfest. It had so many crashes that it ruined my 1982 season finale. Now it's much better. Not perfect but very much improved. I had a 25 lap race and only 6 retirements hehe.

It's pretty hardcore that we have tracks like this on AC. Whoever "anonymous" the track creator is, I salute you. This is a piece of F1 history and this circuit should be in everyone's collection (if you're a F1 fan).

Here's some info of it:

Here's the improved track.

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

And of course check my classic F1 seasons if you haven't. The more people get involved, more they improve. I'm not much of a modder but I'm passionate.

PS: Here's the Dallas 1984. It's probably the best street circuit ever. It was only held in 1984 and Keke Rosberg won the race in crazy heat with completely uncompetitive Williams. The race itself was one of the most entertaining F1 races ever. Watch it! Mansell, Lauda, Prost and Warwick all led the race at some point. Senna was doing fine in his Toleman too until he crashed to the concrete wall. This track is from the same author as Caesars Palace. I really enjoy racing this one too.

How can I turn up the interior sound volume of a car? there are some cars where the exterior sound in chase cam nearly deafens you, but the interior sound in cockpit cam is only barely audible. Is there a way to increase that volume level?

How can I turn up the interior sound volume of a car? there are some cars where the exterior sound in chase cam nearly deafens you, but the interior sound in cockpit cam is only barely audible. Is there a way to increase that volume level?

in the extension file (ext_config.ini file in subfolder "extension" of the car folder) look for [AUDIO_VOLUME] section or add if it's not there by copying in the following:

[AUDIO_VOLUME]
ENGINE_EXT = 1.0 ;decrease this one
ENGINE_INT = 1.0 ;increase this one
GEAR_EXT = 1.0
GEAR_INT = 1.0
BODYWORK = 1.0
WIND = 1.0
DIRT = 1.0
DOWN_SHIFT = 1.0
UP_SHIFT = 1.0
HORN = 1.0
GEAR_GRIND = 1.0
BACKFIRE_EXT = 1.0
BACKFIRE_INT = 1.0
TRACTION_CONTROL_EXT = 1.0
TRACTION_CONTROL_INT = 1.0
TRANSMISSION = 0.3
LIMITER = 1.0
TURBO = 0.3
RAIN_EXT=1.0
RAIN_INT=1.0
WIPER_EXT=0.8
WIPER_INT=0.5
HIT = 1.0
SCRAPE = 1.0
WHEEL = 1.0
SKID_EXT = 1.0
SKID_INT = 1.0


like this you can control almost all aspects of the sound volume...
Have fun!

Far from perfection (I'm not a modder) and maybe with some errors, but I missed a lot an E21 on this game!!! So, hope you will appreciate!

Nice , any idea when to release?

Speaking of Caesar's palace, I changed some bits last week too.

Removed the ugly people, re-coloured the road textures and added a city background (which is dark idk why) so it wouldn't look so empty but I can't remove the blurry effect the tarmac has.

Probably a job for Climax, he's been better at revamping existing tracks than us lol
