Yes lets hope the AI creation is fixed, I am/was tired of making them in vanilla mode

no need to switch to vanilla, just disable the options checked in Extra Options for AI splines, not yet tested with the latest CSP.

 

[24H]

going to release the Flying Lizard skins this weekend (for RSS mod)

Anybody knows why this **** happens ?

It's correctly aligned in the suspension.ini, works in CM but not in-game lol

edit : nvm the discs weren't attached to the rim but the car lol

I’m curious about how this ai line creation works, as in what does it reference in order for it to made and how good are they?

I would’ve assumed that it would use a fast lap already made by the player, but I have no idea.

I just unchecked Shaders Patch Active [ ] in General fo easy switching

Since now we have an option to create a nice looking loading screen with an lua script, I have high hopes that something from a talented pal will approach soon.

I'm having a brain fade and can't find where to turn off the CSP Car Radar. Can anyone tell me where it is in the settings?

I've also looked in my app shelf and it isn't there. I'm officially confused. I never even turned it on... but there it is, driving me mad.

EDIT: Is this a new bug in the latest build of CSP? I seem to get a broken car radar on screen whether I want it or not, but it only shows one car, always moving the same way, no matter what track I'm on.
