I don't remember who said that the latest nvidia driver update created some performance problems on AC: no problems on my side with a 1660 super

Hi. What page. Link is to email.

1955 Le Mans track skin

Does someone know a solution how I can fix the ride height of the Lanzo Evo 2 in the Preview? It's a bit high.

When I open the showroom and select Align using data, it drops the ride height. But it doesn't save it unfortunately.

 

[Valyul]

Got an odd issue. In CM, if I go to Settings -> Assetto Corsa -> Chase Camera I get a blank preview box and an error message saying "Can't display chase camera preview: LOD #0 not found"

Any idea where this LOD should be?

Mine is blank too but without an error message. Don't know how to restore the preview.

An outgrowth of a few projects I've been working on with a brilliant friend of mine:

Functional Racing — Sim Racing Engineered

(We don't have the www part working yet.)
As of now, it attempts to locate any malfunctioning parts within an acd file.

 

[puerk0spin]

Is there any functional link to any decent 1998-1999 Le Mans version right now? Formerly RD now Overtake's link appears to be broken.

But that's the showroom? What about the preview in Content overview?

What is "Content Overview"?

All looks fine here, CSP 0.2.7

No issues here.

Essington Park v1.1

Hi Shi, I've just put some extra ligths (and corrected some missing double sided meshes).
Copy the files to the track folder (there is also a backup file, just in case)

🤷‍♂️

Edit: Well apparently I was still using the V1 when the V3 is out now!
But still now problem with car height.

Very strange @MasterFocus @Fall Guy

 

[ninezeroniner]

Same here, Lanzo Evo 2 is fine.

 

[exva]

sure it's the best for everything, paid, encrypted and no LODS

Encryption is a problem, hate it. On LODs, do they really matter? I am currently testing different versions of Chevrolet Corvette C4 ZR1 which use the same model, only some versions have LODs, others do not, i dont see any difference regardless of the distance.
By the way, i liked the Jaguar XZ220 from Yezhrod, but it has the wrong dimensions, too wide and low

tomorrow new WEC skins will come :-)

OK, so what's happening here?

When you generate a preview with the "Use CSP for final preview render" Content Manager setting UNCHECKED (aka CM previews)...

CM uses the current skin that it's/you're viewing, or have selected in a list, and the current KN5, and fires up it's internal renderer to make a preview image using the selected preview preset.
The settings in /data, data.acd, the car's /extension/ext_config.ini, the skin's individual ext_config.ini are NOT applied. So none of the KN5's added in skin-specific ext_config's for wings, winglets, number-plates etc are rendered. And if the model is encrypted with "clumsy-mode" encryption, you get blue crystals.

When you have "Use CSP for final preview render" checked (aka CSP previews), CM will actually launch AC in the background and get CSP involved. NOW the settings in /data, data.acd, the car's /extension/ext_config.ini, the skin's individual ext_config.ini ARE all applied. And just like when you check "Align with data", the ride height (amongst everything else) is visible.
Since encrypted cars HAVE to be decrypted to be viewable in-game, even that hurdle is removed, and we can have nice previews.
Finally, CSP generates the render from the "modified" KN5.

And looking at all the folks who have reported that their previews are fine and dandy, this is exactly what they have done.

Now. If you're brave and have a backup of the KN5 (CM makes one, but belts AND braces, right?) you can, having applied "Align with data", use the "Update model" button at the bottom of the same panel. This updates the current KN5 with the current-in-use data settings (/data or data.acd) and saves it (with a backup, 'cos as Ilya as well knows, "stuff" happens...)

Now, when you make a CM Preview, the effects of /data or data.acd are "baked" into the KN5.

WARNINGs:
1. Many things may change, not just the ride height. I've found modders (even good ones) to be shockingly sloppy with this. The data settings and the saved KN5 in some instances differ wildly. Wheels move, wheelbase inaccuracies are revealed, camber is suddenly applied, wheels are spacered because Graphic adjustments etc.
2. Sometimes you'll mess up the ambient shadows by doing this, and have to update them. After updating the model, navigate to the left-most tab in the CM showroom parameters panel, with the left arrow icon, and click "Update Ambient Shadow". Select your prefs or accept defaults, and update the shadows.
3. I'd be especially careful with complex code-heavy mods like those from RSS and even more so, VRC. Backup, backup.

Good luck, fellow traveller

yes, LODs are important if you have a lot of cars on the track, of course it depends on your configuration, if you have a muscular PC you'll have fewer performance problems than an average configuration, this is even more important on a triple screen which consumes a lot more resources for the graphics card.

This is my way to ajust the height of the car (in showroom and in game)
Heigth in showroom:View attachment 1434731

And in game:
Go to suspension.ini and note the values of static_camber for the front. Launch the game, then check if you get the same value for the front camber. if not the parameter to adjust is rod_length. Stop the race, go to suspension.ini and set rod_length. if in game the camber was lower than the value of static camber in suspension.ini, rod_length must be increased. conversely if camber was greater than static_camber. For the values, obviously you take into account the - sign.
Of course, this operation will require several trips back and forth in game.
Do the same for the rear.
Have fun, nice week end.

Thank you very much! Will give this a try!

I've tweaked some parameters and corrected some mistakes. Version 1.1 in original post

Sorry for coming back to you about this.. but I don't see an Update Model button. (CM Showroom)

/edit: Guess it's because an encrypted mod? With a standard Kunos car I do have the Update Model option.

Edit: keep in mind these operations could modify the TOE parameters.

modifying the basey is a very bad idea because it also changes the behavior of the car, you can adjust the height in car.ini with the line: GRAPHICS_OFFSET

Hi all,

I just wanted to make a short view of all the Le Mans 1995 (my favorite) cars I have so far.
Thank you all for adding to this lineup (if something catches your fancy, let me know).
