Preview build for the upcoming update
Added 2021-03-21 18:06:38 +0000 UTCI’ve got some interesting news! But first, attached is a preview build for the upcoming update. There are quite a few changes, so I’d like to test it for another day or so before releasing it publicly, but it should be pretty stable now. Here are the main changes:
• CSP got configs that are applied to all cars and all tracks. With them, rain tyre patterns now can be applied to all cars that need them.
• Rain tyres physics parameters adjusted and fixed.
• Loading should be smoother and faster, especially with new loading caching option (I’ve added profiler which shows where time is spent exactly, and what parts were causing freezes; more optimizations are coming soon).
• All crash messages were reworked to be more informative and helpful.
• With extended physics it’s possible now to redefine collision parameters, such as friction, bounciness or softness, for both cars and tracks with new extended tracks physics (particularly helpful to make heavy cars more stiff — original AC collisions are a bit soft to simulate a bit of a flex, but those settings work well only for more lightweight cars). Also, new option now allows to tweak online collisions, helpful for cars with mass vastly different from 1000 kg (documentation is coming soon).
• And, as usual, a bunch of fixes and optimizations. Here’s the full list of changes.
And there is another potential breakthrough, still in testing stage, but I think it seems to work. Have you ever noticed an issue with large tracks where FFB would get messy, especially for cars moving slow or standing still? That precision issue which happens because AC uses 32 bit floating point numbers, and with large coordinates they start to lose accuracy. To fix it, I spent days trying to swap AC’s underlying physics engine (AC uses ODE to handle rigid bodies, joints and collisions) with something more modern capable of dealing with such issue. I tried PhysX, Bullet and Newton Dynamics, but unfortunately couldn’t get any of them to run reliably with the way AC uses its physics engine.
Well, it turned out the solution might be much more straightforward. Now I simply swapped ODE with ODE complied with double precision, and it seemed to have helped, although at some performance cost (on my PC in a race with 55 cars it seemed to increase CPU load by 5%). And looking at how AC configures those slightly soft car-track collisions, I think it was the only option all along: it’s unlikely that the exact same behavior could be recreated with a different physics engine, and considering how often some open wheelers touch ground, those collision parameters seem to be crucial.
Whole thing is still at testing stage, disabled by default and not available online for safety reasons (just in case I missed something and it can give an unfair advantage). You can enable it in General settings:

If you’re driving on large tracks, such as Nordschleife or Shuto, please give it a test and check if it would help. Although please note, visual issues would still be present, I’ll work on fixing those in near future (I thought of fixing it before, but didn’t want to spend time on it before figuring out a way to improve physics part).
Thank you so much for all the incredible support! For the next part, I’ll work on adding protected RainFX configs, fixing remaining RainFX bugs and improving the way it looks, and, of course, working on fixing visual shaking caused by the same precision problem. Also, there might be a way to speed up physics at least a little bit, to try and compensate for that extra cost from double precision physics.

in some cars made it from exterior retro -beers is distorting and/or reverse.

2021-04-28 01:56:36 +0000 UTCIs it possible to transition from a totally dry/clear track to wet weather/rain using the Dynamic Weather settings?
2021-04-27 21:52:20 +0000 UTCI had the same issue I just went to a lower CSP version and reinstalled the preview
2021-04-27 20:20:55 +0000 UTCI'm still using preview 3 instead of 33 as there seems to be bugs and ill wait for hot fixes before updating to preview 33 but in saying that great work @Ilja Jusupov love your csp and wouldn't use anything else :) :)

2021-04-26 22:36:24 +0000 UTCI installed version 1.74 but I don't hear the noise of the rain, can someone help me ??
2021-04-26 20:38:21 +0000 UTCnew flames barely working in this one
2021-04-26 19:24:53 +0000 UTCI know but doesn't work. The screen freezes whenever i move it to my main monitor. It has something to do with this version, other CSP version's work normally.
2021-04-26 00:36:29 +0000 UTCno but you can switch screen by pressing shift+win+arrow, this will move the game on a different screen depending in which arrow you press

2021-04-25 14:17:28 +0000 UTCEvery time i apply this patch the sky turns black, roll back to an earlier version and the sky returns
2021-04-25 12:29:59 +0000 UTCHey, the mod works great but no puddles or water appears on any of the tracks. I've tried to find a fix but can't find anything. Any help?
2021-04-25 10:16:33 +0000 UTCyeah, here too!
2021-04-25 10:02:57 +0000 UTCHello, can someone help me, you can have a table in CM that classifies the top speed of the cars in a specific circuit in order, as in drag tests it indicates a table with the best times but in this case with the top speed, thanks and greetings
2021-04-25 09:34:07 +0000 UTCAlso installed the preview and from preview 1 to this one. This now gives some strange NeckFX effects, its not smooth anymore as it was in preview 1.

2021-04-25 09:25:51 +0000 UTCYou must unlock the current install of CSP, then install it, try giving the Content Manager method of install, so drag it to content manager, Also make sure you uninstall previous versions of CSP too.

2021-04-24 10:06:22 +0000 UTCGet newest sol version, make sure to install it properly and set filter to sol, like sol_extra. Some sol version had the issues, and did not work with some filters,
2021-04-24 07:42:01 +0000 UTCHello. I have installed this in my root folder as advised but I am still not seeing the option to update to v0.1.74-preview33 in the updates section of CM. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
2021-04-23 20:54:42 +0000 UTCI get a black sky every time I start a new session
2021-04-23 19:52:49 +0000 UTCHi, I can't get lights-patch-v0.1.74-preview33 to work. I get a black screen after loading has finished. Patch-v0.174-preview3 works fine.

2021-04-23 01:30:08 +0000 UTCeverytime i try to start a new session even with default cars and tracks it crashes. can anyone help?
2021-04-23 00:41:32 +0000 UTCHow do you install it?
2021-04-22 22:53:18 +0000 UTCThanks for great work! One thing I noticed driving on a damp track that still is dark but there is no spray. It seams like its dry under the car in those conditions. There is a dry patch flickering behind the car. Is there a fix for that?
Peter Kull
2021-04-22 19:27:13 +0000 UTCWhen will the new version come?
2021-04-22 08:02:16 +0000 UTCYou need to set the resolution of your monitor ! If the resolution is lower it will have black bars.
SKY
2021-04-22 06:05:00 +0000 UTCWOW !!! The force feedback is sooo good now ! I am amazed . I keep driving AC now with the new extended physics. Thank you !
SKY
2021-04-22 06:02:51 +0000 UTCHi can you please help me, I set rain in my content manager and in the game i dont have any drops or wet surface and i don´t know where is problem
2021-04-21 19:06:33 +0000 UTCI can't get the wind wipers or the rain to be heard, you can help me. Thank you
2021-04-21 16:33:28 +0000 UTCI'm getting a lot of crashes too with this build. I've veryfied my files, tried different track car combo and still get the crashes
2021-04-21 12:32:20 +0000 UTCanyword on a new preview? its been a little while between fixes
Russell Harris
2021-04-21 09:44:54 +0000 UTCMaybe try the previous version and see if it works
2021-04-20 12:15:48 +0000 UTCHi sorry, i just payed for the files, i installed it, launch the game and everything worked, i stopped the game to launch my simucube and now no matter the track or the car the game crashes everytime, impossible to play. What should i do?
Reda Abdoun Ribeiro
2021-04-20 10:34:44 +0000 UTCI believe you have to make your own extension.ini file if the track does not have one. Try watching this https://youtu.be/LcAZ8K5njVs
2021-04-20 00:35:07 +0000 UTCSo... did I misread something? rain tyres to all cars? how? And when will the Better Online Rain be ready? We need at least a On/Off Rain button or Command for Admin so it can start or stop rain anytime, and not all sessions or session lenght is raining...
2021-04-19 23:34:19 +0000 UTCAll of the Kunos tracks work and some mods at the moment
2021-04-19 23:32:04 +0000 UTCDoes anybody know if all tracks can get wet? Only some of them are working for me. Rain works fine but tracks are still dry. Any suggestions?
2021-04-19 21:42:17 +0000 UTCinstall it manually, you literally have to drag and drop it in root folder, thats it
2021-04-19 21:18:07 +0000 UTCRTM, that is a whole load of shit right there.
2021-04-19 21:17:34 +0000 UTCHow can I get a car to have rain tires
Oscar granda
2021-04-19 11:58:35 +0000 UTCAfter dragging and dropping the new preview to content manager i get an error say " Cant Install 2 Things at once"
2021-04-19 11:07:34 +0000 UTCI assumed that was the way it was as the pre-rendered frames are in the resolution aspect of your headset - in my case 1:1 (HP reverb) , not the monitors 16:9
mark
2021-04-19 09:16:11 +0000 UTCAnyone else notice an issue where everything works fine in VR but the preview on the monitor has too black bars covering the screen? I noticed on previous versions this was stretched or rendered differently to fill out the screen for recording.

2021-04-18 12:00:13 +0000 UTCI'm sure I've misunderstood something, but I thought that, although the tyres are only optimised for the Tatuus and the Ferrari F1 car, any car with slicks available would gain a set of rain tyres when it was raining. The Tatuus is working fine for me, but I haven't managed to get a set of rain tyres for any other car...

2021-04-18 11:55:48 +0000 UTCYeah me too... same exact problem!!
Samuele Mollisi
2021-04-17 22:58:06 +0000 UTCI just installed this version (upgrading from lights-patch-v0.1.74-preview3-full.zip) and it doesn't render in VR anymore in the HMD. I just see the steam VR background. Downgraded back to the old version and it works again. I can see the screen mirroring when I move the HMD around and I see the changed perspective in the mirroring. But the displays in the HMD don't show the game.

2021-04-17 05:39:30 +0000 UTCsmall wishes,maybe not much people care about,but i really hope you can add DRS rules to csp someday.
2021-04-17 05:04:24 +0000 UTCI preferably drive large "open world" tracks and i'M always having the issue, that my wheel is shaking or rattling when standing or starting from stand still or at the last few moments or rolling out

2021-04-16 19:55:55 +0000 UTCExhaust no flame. please fix. i tried another CSP is working fine
2021-04-16 13:44:31 +0000 UTCYes you have done everything right. If you want to control rain you either use rain debug or you change the weather from Sol weather plan. For example go on a session and select rain on Sol weather.
2021-04-16 07:03:33 +0000 UTCNot sure what I'm doing wrong. I dropped the "lights-patch-v0.1.74-preview33-full.zip" into CM and it installed. My shader patch version is now 0.1.74-preview33. Is that what it should be now? I see the RainFX under the extensions in CSP, but when I'm on track there is no Weather/Rain App, just a debugger. Am I doing something wrong? I was under the impression it was just drag and drop and it should work, but that has not been the case for me.
2021-04-15 22:11:13 +0000 UTCidk if its that important but keyboard/mouse cannot throttle. clutch/brake is working

Stuart Hardy
2021-04-14 23:33:28 +0000 UTCA tip before installing: via CM, disable any previous version of the ShaderPatchLight from the appropriate section (SETTINGS / CUSTOM SHADER PATCH / ABOUT & UPDATES). The latest version you downloaded here, install it from CM from the "mod" section (after uploading the files in the "MODS" folder. Remember to correctly create the subfolders for the installation path). Remember that after installing this latest version, you need to activate the options to be able to view and manage it. What you need to do is described in the tutorial inserted below where X4fab has published the previous version. Rest assured that it works, if it doesn't, it means you haven't installed the files correctly.

2021-04-14 22:10:53 +0000 UTCHow do I use this mod, I had it working yesterday but now I don't even see a wheaterfx app I only see wheaterfx debug app and when I click rain there is no option to turn it on. I really don't want to feel like I wasted my money on this mod when it doesn't even work. I'm running latest csp so that might affect it or not I don't really know. Just can someone please please please help me out.

2021-04-13 01:39:55 +0000 UTChi. How do i correctly install this file? i tried to drag and drop and it failed, the same problem.
2021-04-12 18:50:51 +0000 UTCHi. How do i correctly install this file? i tried to drag and drop and it failed.
2021-04-12 06:50:01 +0000 UTCback to my last report: with version 2.1 alpha 33 of Sol, now I can hear the sound of rain both abroad and inside the car. The wiper noise is still missing.
Flavio Vandelli
2021-04-12 00:39:05 +0000 UTCI also point out two problems I have with the latest versions of this SPL: I do not hear the sound of raindrops on the vehicle and of the windshield wiper. I don't notice any differences in grip when I drive the car on dry or wet surfaces despite having activated the "use extended physic" option. Any suggestions to solve these problems? Thanks again in advance.
Flavio Vandelli
2021-04-11 23:57:11 +0000 UTCGuys sorry I have a problem I try to ask here. I have a Mod add that when it is on the track and the bottom touches the asphalt, it does not produce sparks. The CM and SPL settings are right (other mods produce the sparks). Any suggestions to understand what it depends on? Thank you in advance.
Flavio Vandelli
2021-04-11 23:40:41 +0000 UTCLove the mod, there is only I thing I noticed, for some reason, when I start the game it doesn't align properly any more to the screen I have to force fullscreen mode with Alt+Enter to get full view of the image. (image is displayed on secondary monitor (TV), works fine with the latest listed version in CM though)
2021-04-11 22:23:40 +0000 UTCAlso, I seem to be getting momentary freezes in AC when using CSP (but no 99% processor occupancy). Any suggestion on how I can fix it?
2021-04-11 19:35:38 +0000 UTChi guys, after last update im having issues with headlamps ( highbeam) turning OFF when other cars pass me while driving at night time.. why? did i fuck up something in settings or is this a BUG?
Robert Lunatic
2021-04-11 19:34:58 +0000 UTCHi there. Do the rain effects affect the grip levels?
2021-04-11 19:34:33 +0000 UTCare the flames fixed already?

2021-04-11 19:01:38 +0000 UTCjust having an issue when i play assetto corsa the rain sounds are gona any fixes will be appreciated
2021-04-11 15:43:05 +0000 UTCJust applied this and its great, it makes assetto corsa relevant for another 5 years atleast . When applied it makes you feel like you are driving on rails, and keeps everything so smooth, I remember when they did this in Iracing, that commie game. So glad you did this, so we can play this great sim many more years.
Brandon Hurt
2021-04-11 05:33:25 +0000 UTCOk, noticed a bug after some extended gooding around - high speed collisions with damage off occasionally cause some of the tires to go tremendously off-axis and even dig into the ground. Unsure if it’s a byproduct of the physics, but that feels the most likely culprit. Will try to replicate it later today.
2021-04-10 18:59:16 +0000 UTCI recommend to clear all previous button settings and set it up again and save the profile. I had to do this as well with my fanatec dd1 and steering wheel and pedals..
2021-04-10 11:21:24 +0000 UTCI'm having a big problem with Content Manager - when I launch the game from CM, I have no controls. My devices are detected by my system and visible and working on the axis page in CM, but they don't work once in session (this is with or without CSP). Launch the vanilla game and they work fine. This never happened before. Any ideas for fixing the problem?
2021-04-09 21:36:38 +0000 UTCThe wipers seem off on the Mercedes 190 evo. Anyone who could check this for me?
2021-04-09 20:24:54 +0000 UTCExtended physics were quite heavy with RSS Ferrari GT1 but my strength was 100 per cent.Turned down to 85 per cent it is spot on now
2021-04-09 14:48:24 +0000 UTCSeconded!
2021-04-09 12:34:25 +0000 UTCHi, I have installed the latest version of csp and everything is working correctly. The problem is that when I try to run the game with the oculus, it crashes when loading the game leaving the screen black. Is there any way to fix it? Thank you very much
2021-04-09 10:38:43 +0000 UTCYou need to select on content manager from settings>assetto corsa>drive>enable custom data and then enable them before you start a session
2021-04-09 10:08:16 +0000 UTCAny chance to fix the VR issue? I have to use the previous version to get the image on VR. Thanks.
2021-04-09 09:12:41 +0000 UTCmaybe add that feature as an optional in Lighting FX. Thanks

2021-04-07 15:42:23 +0000 UTCThe double precision tweak seems to mess with some vehicles. For some cars it changes the steering angle or something like that causing the car to steer a little bit to the right even when the wheel is straight. So far I've seen it on 3 or so cars but all were modded.
Jasper Opperman
2021-04-06 20:05:19 +0000 UTCi don't have any rain sounds at all does anyone know how to fix?
2021-04-06 16:57:02 +0000 UTCthe double precision FFB physics on large tracks (tested on Shutoko Revival Project offline vs online (not implemented yet) is really amazing! I hope this improvement can make it into a public build soon and especially enabled in online mode - it makes a world of a difference on Shutoko when running on a full server in traffic. Without the double precision FFB calculations on this track steering is really terrible (not just at low speeds but at pretty much all speeds on certain areas around the track - the new implementation seems to completely fix that issue and I have not had any downsides really with a beefy overclocked 7800K ).
2021-04-06 10:10:34 +0000 UTCHi Ilja, Since lights-patch-V01.51 you have removed the car lights reflection to speed things up for dynamic lights in reflection. Are you plannint to put it back in the next release? Thanks, John
John Hoang
2021-04-05 22:11:32 +0000 UTCfor tracks that are mod, you need a separate file so that everything is wet. but minus that everything will be wet, from grass to houses
2021-04-05 19:29:38 +0000 UTCI have rain sound but no rain on windscreen and no wet track
2021-04-05 15:59:56 +0000 UTCI'm getting rain drops on the helmet visor when inside cars with a roof? The rain effects themselves look superb now. Just to say thanks so much for what you've done with AC. It just gets better and better!!

2021-04-04 01:10:31 +0000 UTCthe first i noticed , i cannot send my setup in the chat attachment section , the second i have made a car dashlights with emissive @ = MultiItem and its not working now ,if i roll back to 1.7.4 preview3 its working again. Also what happened with snow effect from the last couple of releases ?? and anybody seen any tyre bits on track ?

2021-04-03 08:12:45 +0000 UTCya same with me, after tick the new flame option my flame effect gone
2021-04-03 01:40:39 +0000 UTCit seems like with this update all the flames have disappeared.
2021-04-03 01:03:39 +0000 UTCHi, https://streamable.com/tl4a0w As you can see in the clip above using the rss 2021 car, in the wet it's completely undriveable on the straights aquaplaining everywhere. I udnerstand the tire has been created as a standard and may not work across the board etc.. Is there anything I can do to increase the water clearance on the tires so it's driveable? Cheers
2021-04-02 21:52:31 +0000 UTCNoticed just that the TCL pack by bazza doesn´t work with the extended physics enabled. The Cars slide slowly uncontrollable.
2021-04-02 21:49:27 +0000 UTCI use a G29 and It feels so much better now. Keep up the good work. However I have noticed some bugs: When I use Sol: Windy the clouds are flashing in the sky, like popping up and disappearing. The windshield on the ACL Porsche 917K by Bazza is buggy, feels like double vision, only that car so far. I had this problem on several cars before, but you fixed that in another update. The car still wobbles on very large circuits, like Isle of man. I know it´s WIP and again, keep up the good work :)
2021-04-02 19:10:18 +0000 UTChttps://youtu.be/cvga_Pc3kFE This is the only video I could find regarding cars physics being affected by the rain effects. I’ve followed it with luck on some cars but not on all. I either can’t repack data (“not enough space”), crashing during loading, or the vehicle just slides like it’s on casters in one direction when throttle is applied. Please give me any advice or help to remedy. Loving the build so far!
2021-04-02 19:00:19 +0000 UTCits not the best way to do it but if you open car in content tab then click on the tyres you want. this is the bad bit , if you want to change them back you have to install the car again. and turn down the AI .

2021-04-02 12:39:17 +0000 UTCI got some problems as already posted in this topic: 1. No extended physics check box; 2. Blue lights in cars; 3. Gaming crashing in the exit of races. We need a bug correction update!

2021-04-02 06:32:46 +0000 UTCThe updated double precision physics seems to have done wonders for my computer. I tooled around on Shuto at night in the rain with 24 AI cars. I have a pretty good new rig so before with all of those effects running it would push around high 40s-low 70s in 4K depending on local traffic density. After installing the preview build and enabling double precision I was getting lows in the mid 50s and highs in the low 80s, with none of the shaking. I'm guessing it reset a setting I messed up somewhere, because it also fixed an issue with headlights turning off when passing cars in some views and rain effects on the windscreen suddenly inverting colors for a few frames at high speeds. I had initially thought this was the rather aggressive overclock i had on my card (a liquid cooled 6900xt pushing just shy of 2800 mhz) but they didn't appear after the patch. Traffic car collisions also seemed less strange, with less trucks bumping into each other and flinging themselves a few feet in the air. I suspect this is the double precision physics as opposed to tweak collision parameters since this traffic pack is over a year old. Overall, amazing work.
2021-04-01 21:08:11 +0000 UTCI have no rain debug in weather fx. Somebody knows whats wrong?
2021-04-01 14:24:59 +0000 UTCGreen Lights, green lights everywhere! Since 0.1.74-p33 lights for some unknown reason became Green.

2021-04-01 01:07:59 +0000 UTCStill many bugs with rain. Some times it works, some times it doesn't... (need to unckech rain fx, reestart game with rain option, go out again, check rain fx back on, and reestart game...) this happens in basically all versions except 1.71
2021-03-31 15:29:29 +0000 UTCwith this version the navigator in cars does not work anymore i had to go to lights-patch-v0.1.74-preview3-full.zip to get it to work
2021-03-31 08:52:56 +0000 UTCSince I installed this version all cars have blue headlights..
2021-03-30 20:37:14 +0000 UTCthe way i did it was uninstall the current CSP i had (0.1.73) and then drag the preview CSP on CM and install. I see "not available to install" too but it's probably due to the fact that is not "officially" on that list, indeed, i was able to edit CSP parameters and rain is present so it's working even if there's that warning. Hope this helps
2021-03-30 15:46:21 +0000 UTChi all. i'm new to this patreon but i already owned a full copy of content manager. i have changed my key on content manager to the new one that was generated from itch.io but when i go to change to the new 0.1.74 shader patch it says that its 'not available to install'. can anyone help me with what i'm doing wrong please. thanks

2021-03-29 19:40:27 +0000 UTCHello, i tried the double precision feature on Wicklow mountains, i tried two cars, both with extended physics on and off but the car leans to the left with centered wheel with this feature off this problem doesn't occur Does anyone experienced this?
2021-03-29 19:34:23 +0000 UTCMe too in same situation more with tracks than specific cars, Ive reverted to preview 3 for now.
2021-03-29 17:56:31 +0000 UTCStill getting constant crashing unfortunately, even with double precision turned off. Always the same error message as I posted above.

John Slow
2021-03-24 01:22:59 +0000 UTCGreat Ilja, thank you. one question: does the extended physics work also with custom championships? With previous release I noticed that despite extended physics was flagged I had a different force feedback by the same car when I was in Quick (practice, hotlap, race, etc) compared when I was in a custom championship. Thank you in advance
2021-03-24 01:18:32 +0000 UTCI love this mod, thank you Ilja! I have checked the box "Use extended physics" in the car menu (Content Manager), but I am unable to get the rain tyres to show up visually. In game, I enable rain, select rain tyres in the setup menu, but nothing changes in the on-screen visuals for the Tatuus. Am I forgetting something?
2021-03-23 23:22:46 +0000 UTC@Ilja The antishake-fix is phantastic! Eventually driving Shutoku is real fun, Thanks a lot!
2021-03-23 20:30:38 +0000 UTCHey guys i just got the latest buld been away for 6tmths. Anyway i dont seem to be able to activate the rain and wet effects is there something i should activate in Content manager?

Jaimy Creve
2021-03-23 00:22:17 +0000 UTCHi Ilja, great work. Only thing is that I'm building a car and I'm no more able to make the rain tyres appear in pits and working correctly where with the 174.3 everything was working. It seems I'm no more able to understand how rain tyres guessing (or config) is working.... EDIT: it seems that if a car has more than 1 slick compund CSP will not add the rain compound. Speaking of the final version I'm wondering if for a modder will be possible to add rain and eventually intermediate compound inside tyres.ini with custom textures instead of using procedural. It could be a great possibility given to modders. I'm interested for my car, I was able to do it in the previous version with a workaround, but since 174.33 it's no more possible.

2021-03-22 19:54:45 +0000 UTCNot sure if its related to this build but launching into VR seems to be broken, everything is tracked ingame, but in the headset the game doesn't seem to be hooked.

2021-03-22 19:01:27 +0000 UTCI wanted to ask something: I created for the Le Mans 2017 v.2.5 circuit by Tiago Lima, and for Hockenheim 2018 F1, the .ini file to import the rain graphic conditions on the surfaces. This file called "ext_config.ini" must be stored in a folder called "extension" which must be saved in the main folder of the circuit. In the future, for add circuits, can this method always be used to import the rain graphic conditions or is something different expected?
Flavio Vandelli
2021-03-22 15:41:46 +0000 UTCI have now finished a test. I launched the Mugello track where I rode with the Porshe 911 RSR 2018 by URD. Before starting to shoot I activated a .lua file I created that starts with broken clouds, covered clouds and then moves on to light drizzle, drizzle, persistent drizzle and rain, returning to covered clouds and then back to broken clouds. The step I set between one weather condition and another was three minutes of change and three minutes of holding, except for the rain phase which I set at 10 minutes of holding. The weather conditions changed progressively and regularly in the times I had set. However, I was able to notice a lack of synchrony between the rain that appeared on the track and that on the car windows: the rain appeared on the car windows a few minutes earlier than expected and stopped "falling" long after, when the sky was it had long since cleared. The intensity of the rain on the car windows was progressive and proportional to the set climatic conditions. I would like to report that during the rain phase the water on the exterior mirrors of the car seemed excessive and not very realistic. For the rest what to say: a show.

2021-03-22 15:30:30 +0000 UTCHi Ilja, Great job as always. load time is a lot shorter. (Great Job). Freeze is still there but not bad at all. My only question. Is Light ting in Reflection will be fixed in the near future. At night when you turn the headlights the lights shine on the surrounding but the light on the surrounding does not reflect on car. Will this be fixed in the near future?

2021-03-22 14:12:07 +0000 UTCI see it's only when I load the benchmark when it crashes with that car damaged error.. When I race online or against ai it is a dream to be behind the wheel. I don't use those gt3s so if it works on my mx5 then so be it. Great job.
2021-03-22 13:40:31 +0000 UTCI can confirm that the game freezes when changing to rain with dynamic weather, it's been happening for a while, a few versions ago. I didn't notice the pixels glowing, though.

2021-03-21 22:47:14 +0000 UTCThank you so much for your incredible effort. I am having a lot of trouble having any compilation after 1.70 to run reliably (it crashes whenever I launch a race in VR) . I am using an HP-Reverb G2 on a i7-10700k/3080 system. I used to be able to use comp 1.73 and 1.74 but not since the last two weeks, also I noticed that the performance somehow degraded over time... very weird and frustrating. I hope the new release will increase stability and get rid of this "unexpedted error" messages I've been getting.

As for SSD, I believe I still see them selling ports for money, but that’s a good point, I’ll remove the warning. And I’ll try to add sorting to CM, sure (just in case, you can also use filters like “age<1 month”, space between number and “month” is optional)

2021-03-21 19:47:17 +0000 UTCSo my review thus far. SRP is a complete improvement. The only issue is with the wheel wobbling IF the wheel is centered. Some Cars show rain patterns. Some don't. Some cars don't even have any aspect of the physics changed. For instance, the RSS Hyperion's gets rain tires, but the car drives like slicks are still on. One more thing. I see that there is a warning when using SDD's mods. While this would have been great a couple weeks ago, SDD has put out a post on their site detailing changes. So I'd personally take that off since the entire reason they were being targeted (rightfully so at the time) is no longer applicable. My suggestion would be to include a way to sort cars/tracks by date/time added.

2021-03-21 19:13:05 +0000 UTCThank you so much for looking into the large tracks issues, one of my main concerns I have left with AC's engine is this. This is really really exciting to hear your thoughts on this and future potential including possible fixes with the visuals. Once again a big thank you for the continued work!

2021-03-21 18:55:44 +0000 UTCTested on SRP PT5 - You're a hero Ilja! <3 <3
2021-03-21 18:37:37 +0000 UTCAwesome, thank you very much! Please let me know if you’ll run into any problems. I have to say, I spent so much time trying to solve it, I still can hardly believe it worked

2021-03-21 18:31:51 +0000 UTCJust tested the new physics on LA Canyons VIP Urban area (huge distance from center of track) and it's a night & day difference! This area used to be a huge rattle-fest with my wheel and now it's smooth as butter. Amazing job!
2021-03-21 18:29:51 +0000 UTCInteresting
