Assetto Corsa Redux

One for Huub.

This is odd, any thoughts welcome.
Not normally my choice of vehicle but it has a certain hooligan appeal and despite a few attempts at sorting it out I've run out of ideas.
Might it be something to do with shaders?

The "blue crystals" show you that the car model is encrypted. If you use Content Manager the problem (mostly) goes away. I say "mostly" because some cars are perfectly normal - others you can't repaint skins, etc...

If you're already using Content Manager and you've got this problem, I'm stumped!

Make sure both cm and csp are updated to recent versions. On certain occasions it can revert back to default older versions.

[wombat666]

Thanks for the advice, will give it a go later today.

Meanwhile, here is the final version of Velos take on the Ferrari 335S, Scaglietti body and a big block V12, what's not to like!

[Bunkiester]

That's one gorgeous car... and I'm very tempted to switch my controllers over for driving from flying, but it's such a pain... there's been some nice releases via Velo and friends lately.

[wombat666]

Decided to install the current stable version of CM, the recommended Shader patch and the current version of Sol.
Not sure what sorted the problem out but the 'Hooligan' Ka is now working!

Thanks for the advice!

It's hard to imagine how old Assetto Corsa is now - with CM and friends, it looks so good.

Still one of the craziest cars in AC, the T1 LM, found at Assettoland:

Today's really dumb question.
How do I get a 24 hour lighting cycle running??????
I've seen really atmospheric 'night' images posted but I'm stuck in a 12 hour loop.
Frustrating!
Any thoughts and I'm thinking it might be in Sol?

[Bunkiester]

That's odd. I normally only race 24-hour setups - Le Mans, Daytona, etc. Using CM, SOL, and all default, I've never had to do anything, other than set the time if I want to be in the dark and it isn't (I usually used the real weather/time option on CM). If not using real time, it'd just set it to a dark time frame and carry on...

How did you install SOL? You should unpack everything in the 'MOD' folder in the zip file directly in to the Assetto Corsa root folder and let it overwrite.

Just did a rework to be sure (and yes that's how I installed SOL), I get 'night skies' but most of the time!
Further experiments ongoing.
Thanks for the answers Ferry.

[Ferry_vO]

And just to be sure, you are starting the game with the content manager?

[wombat666]

Getting there and starting to tweak things!



Dark O'Clock at Imola.....early days,



Around 06:00 in Summer at Laguna, definitely more 'effects' available now.
Thanks again Ferry and Bunkie.

Next project will be switching drivers, helmets in road cars are annoying as are modern helmets in vintage and classics.

[Bunkiester]

Re: Switching drivers/helmets - go to Legion's blog and download his driver set - he's got plenty. Plus Velo's site has new drivers for the latest Ferrari's as well... plenty to choose from. Switching drivers is easy, just go the the driver.ini (found in the data folder) and change the name to the one you want.

Have fun!

[wombat666]

Progress.



Slow progress.

We need more of this era, the 'Half Ton Formula' was loaded with customer cars and independently constructed 'specials'.
And of course the amazing Ferrari 1512 flat twelve would be a must have IMHO.
