New preview build with rain tyres
Added 2021-02-24 19:53:02 +0000 UTC
Finally, I think I managed to fix most of the bugs, so now I can continue working on RainFX. And here’s the first new thing: rain tyres! If during loading CSP would detect any slick tyres, it would automatically add a new set of rain tyres, which would be much more efficient at moving water away from contact point, ensuring better grip. Apart from different water moving properties, at the moment it’s a simple copy of softest tyres set, but more tweaks, of course, are coming soon.

Also, now existing tyre sets get different water moving properties as well. Slicks now count as tyres with no treads, semislicks are less efficient at moving water away, and the rest are the most efficient. Type of a tyre is guessed based on its name, and it might need more adjustments later as well, but it should work well enough with most cars already. And, of course, intermediate tyres are coming soon too.

Different normals for rain tyres are also created now, and their generation is fully procedural, in the future it should allow to not only create a lot of possible types, but also slightly alter same patterns if applied to different cars to increase visual variety. And, by the way, physical properties of a tyre depend on pattern shape as well.

At the moment, however, shape needs to be chosen via config. I already prepared a few configs for SF15-T, F138 and Tatuus, but it’s not quite how I would want it to work, instead I’ll focus on adding some sort of generic configs which could apply to all cars at once, and those would be able to estimate an appropriate pattern automatically.
Also, speaking of bugs to fix, RainFX physics was pretty broken in previous build, but it should work better now. And, if you want to get the optimal experience, please use WeatherFX debug app with 50%/100%/50% rain debug configuration for now, that’s another thing which still needs some polishing on WeatherFX controllers side.
A couple of other changes: rain now removes windscreen dirt as it should (proper dynamic dirt is in plans, but might take more time to get it right), and now you can run online servers requiring clients to have WeatherFX and RainFX activated (more on that a bit further down).
Next thing to focus on now is to create a way to protect RainFX configs from being altered in online races, thus ensuring a fair competition, as well as continue working on visual part of it all. Also, have to take a look into AI and see if they can be tweaked to be capable to deal with rain.
Thank you all for your incredible support! I don’t even know what to say, I could never expect anything like that. Thank you so much!
How to install this preview build?
Simply extract dwrite.dll and extension folder to AC root folder, or drag’n’drop archive to CM and agree to install it from there.
How to get rain physics to work offline?
With newer Content Manager version, please activate this option here, and it would add a new checkbox here. Please be extra careful with it though, as it would alter car’s data before each race and in rare circumstances, it might fail to roll the changes back once race ends. We’re still trying to figure out the best way to have rain physics applied to all cars.
How to run an online server with rain?
New Content Manager versions got an option to set a CSP config for servers here. Use it and add this section there.
(The way it works, it would encode that config within server’s welcome message in such a way that it wouldn’t be visible in both original Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa with CSP installed. You don’t need to run server from Content Manager, you can also have welcome message prepared for one server config and reuse it on any other.)

Hello! Why not, show the rain tires on the cars ?????? It only displays slick tires no matter how I claim!!!

Traditionally windscreen wipers are used. :P
2021-04-19 02:17:38 +0000 UTC
I just installed the mod and it works... but once the rain is disabled it wont go away. Is there a way to just disable the windscreen droplets?
2021-04-18 22:43:17 +0000 UTC
Please explain how to post logs. Thanks for your help!
2021-04-09 22:02:09 +0000 UTC
post the error logs in here and the discord.
2021-04-08 21:49:34 +0000 UTC
im sure theres a proper place but id say put it on pastebin.com or something for now.
2021-03-28 21:09:42 +0000 UTC
Thanks for the help. Now I have bigger problems. CSP & SOL were working perfectly. Now the only way AC works is to remove CSP. No version of CSP works. Do you know where I can post error logs?
2021-03-28 19:11:26 +0000 UTC
preview builds are basically drag and drop into Content Manager. Discord has nothing to do with it.

download patch 0.1.46 then install the latest one again.
2021-03-17 19:10:51 +0000 UTC
I ran some tests with this new rain mode. I found that the grip conditions of the asphalt do not change between dry and wet. Is it I who have not activated any options or do we still have to wait for the development? I also point out that all the graphic effects of the rain, except the spry (smoke) are not seen from the rearview mirrors, both in real and virtual mode. As a motorcyclist who occasionally rides a motorcycle in the rain, I believe that the drops of water on the visor of the helmet in the first person of the open cars must be resized. In any case, congratulations on the big job you are doing. Keep it up, perfection is close.

cant get rain to work, is there any fix? tried to delete csp and reinstall, but still no rain
tried with rainfx capable circuits also, and tatuus to be sure the extensions were there
2021-03-17 11:02:01 +0000 UTC
I have problems with preview versions that include rain. With 1.73 preview (or whatever preview version) when i activate the rain the screen turns black with onboard cameras but with track and free camera i can see the game. WHen it's time past 21:40 more or less the car and lights crash and looks so bad. Maybe is some option that I have activated or not? I don't know what more to do. I can't play with rain, can't take screenshoots in movement pf

Yes I’m getting the same. I heard thunder but no rain drop sounds.
2021-03-15 13:35:44 +0000 UTC
I just restarted Content Manager then it worked fine.
2021-03-14 05:37:57 +0000 UTC
it says can not install 2 things at once anyway to fix?
2021-03-13 21:29:24 +0000 UTC
I dont have any sound with rain , any idea how to fix it ? thanks

Does anyone else have no sound from the rain?
2021-03-13 03:42:55 +0000 UTC
How do I enable the RainFX app? Can find all apps apart from this one, basically I cant do this WeatherFX debug app with 50%/100%/50% rain debug configuration
2021-03-12 09:48:53 +0000 UTC
I get a black screen whenever I am in first person after installing this patch. Anyone know a fix?
2021-03-11 17:14:36 +0000 UTC
lol, I like how you specified a specific day of the week. I don't think that's happening anytime soon... RainFx is in the making and the final version hasn't come out yet so let's just chill and wait :)
2021-03-10 23:01:14 +0000 UTC
I dont have rain on any version, and i reinstalled it many times, why cant i use the rain debug anymore ? I bought a new pc and sent it through my google drive, can this cause the problem ? btw sorry for my bad englisch
2021-03-10 21:08:27 +0000 UTC
yes, you have to install soundfx from a previos version. there is a post where you can see how to do

WindscreenFX is active ? change it to manual und bound controls to increase wiper speed
Daniel Rubarth
2021-03-10 19:56:59 +0000 UTC
Have you bound controls to operate the wipers? Also, check in SOL Plan selector app (in game) as there are auto/manual wiper options.
2021-03-10 14:59:08 +0000 UTC
As the wiper doesn't works, i try to re-install AC frop scrach. So i just install a fresh AC version, then CM, and CSP 1.74 and Sol 2.0.2 : Still doesn't works on any car ! Is it works for someone (then it means that something is missing) ?

Why I can not hear rain falling on the hood when it rains ,anybody know the reason?

Works perfect offline, but when I run my server I can only get the rain to work visually. It doesnt change the physics/grip online, but same car/track in single player works as it should. Is there any way to make it work on my server?
2021-03-08 02:45:33 +0000 UTC
Still impossible to have working wipers ! It works in no cars at all. I try many many things without succes. So i can only use RainFx with Formula cars but with windscreen, it is just impossible to drive with !

Is there a fix for "Can't install twice" and 1.74 not showing on the list? I have both of these issues and have restarted several times.. same issue. At one point I thought I saw 1.74 as the active but then it immediately went to 1.70... then 1.73 lol... I'm so confused. I have auto update OFF.

Hi Iljia.
I can´t use Patreon versions of the patch as they keep crashing game sessions.
I get "Game Crashed - GPU Failed; might be overclocked too much, or overheated" message along with others. I have screenshots.
It would be lovely to be able to use rain but I can only use non Rain FX versions of CSP, even the latest 1.73 from CM works.
I've been having the crashes since 1.72 with Rain FX.
Could you help please?
Any reports you need please ask.
PS: I've completely uninstaled and re-instaled CM and AC and after a clean install the same happens
2021-03-04 10:20:11 +0000 UTC
You can install it through CM (drag & drop the zip file). Once loaded in CM you have to restart CM to see 1.74 preview selected (I think it works even without restart but you will not see it)
2021-03-04 07:41:17 +0000 UTC
so I put the whole folder into the Ac root folder and it’s there but when I go into cm, it still says I’m on 1.73 and not 1.74-preview please help!!
2021-03-03 21:23:41 +0000 UTC
surely there are some things to improve such as the dynamic weather which does not load the variations correctly. I have found that if I start in clear weather and change in rainy weather, everything changes in the right way except the spray that does not appear. If I start the race in rainy weather when the sky clears up and the asphalt dries, the spray remains visible. This happens both with manual variations and with a plane set by default. I also report the loading of wrong textures on some mod add cars.
Flavio Vandelli
2021-03-03 19:46:53 +0000 UTC
I would like to know if in the future this new version that allows the physical and graphic use of rain tires, will also be usable with the mod add, as some of these are already implemented with this addition (for example the Porsche 911 RSR GT3 2018 by URD ).

When I download this newest CSP it always says race cancelled every time. Any help?
2021-03-03 11:42:07 +0000 UTC
I have seen so far only these issues with teh latest rainFX CSP patch version:
- extreeeeemly long loading times of cars (this used to be very fast but is extremely slow again)
- when entering a rain session and then changing the weather to a dry weather typ a layer of rain droplets will remain on all glass surfaces. This layer cannot be wiped away by the windscreen wipers and it will not dry off (major issue)
- on cars with broken headlights (due to a crash) raindrops in front of broken headlights will still render diffuse from the nonexistent headlight - worse the seem to magically re-enable the broken headlight for the duration of their passing in front of the broken headlight
- large drops falling off the car of being spread when driving through puddles look still a little bit over done / comical (too large, artificial looking drops)
Other than that it looks pretty phenomenal.
2021-03-03 05:34:52 +0000 UTC
WHen setting up the server with CM:
1) CM/SERVER/MAIN/Welcome Message:
paste this code (you can alter the rain % of course):
"For testing, rain is active with intensity 40%."
1) CM/SERVER/CONDITIONS/Weather
Make sure you choose a reasonable rainy weather here
I too have struggled some time to get this to work properly. With help on the CSP discord I have received those tips above and it works flawlessly.
2021-03-03 05:29:11 +0000 UTC
Could somebody tell me how can i set a Gear change / Shifting indicator light in CSP?
There are some Kunos cars has the shifting light on the Dashboard but not working like Toyota celica St185 or Audi Quattro S1...
I didn't find any tutorial or sample data yet.
Something like these lines which i can write into digital_instruments.ini:
[LED_6]
OBJECT_NAME=GEO_dashboard_light
RPM_SWITCH=7000
EMISSIVE=3,2,0,0
DIFFUSE=0.5
BLINK_SWITCH=9000
BLINK_HZ=15
It would be a very useful feature in CSP, because if i write a new data.acd, then online multiplayer feature has been disabled
Thanks

Ilja, finally was able to test during the weekend and send you a proper feedback. The 50/100/50 combo might still be very slippery for the wets. I can't get past 70% on throttle with the SF70H. I really like this video from Hamilton here where the track conditions seem to fit the 50/100/50 combination. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifvbapD8B2Q&ab_channel=FORMULA1
Found the Tatuus much easier to drive around that same combo, but then again it's a much weaker car.
Just my humble opinion of course.
Cheers fella! :)

2021-03-01 08:32:42 +0000 UTC
Yeah I miss this too, now I have to reload the track if I want to go from rain > dry conditions

2021-02-28 13:07:46 +0000 UTC
To debug this, use SPA as a starting point. Change weather to rain in the Drive tab of Content Manager and enter the track. If you still can't see puddles, open Weather FX app in the right side menu (while on track) and find Debug Rain (or something like that) and change the sliders, one of them is the wetness of the track. I'm writing this from the top of my head so I may missed something. If nothing works consider re installing it (CSP) by dragging the zip file into the interface of Content Manager and then use "clean old files" when you are about to install it.
2021-02-28 12:10:04 +0000 UTC
Hello IIja, there is no sound of rain also wipers not only in this build. The last 10 atleast for me no sound at all. Also on some cars the turnsignal lights/hazzard light signals seems to not working. If i rollback to oldest csp its working again. Tnx, anyway amazing job, keep going.
2021-02-28 12:05:58 +0000 UTC
I remember one version of CSP (can't recall which) after race in raing, when we changed the weather to a dry one or turn off rain the remaining rain drops around the car was dissipated while you drive. Is this gone for now or am I missing something?
2021-02-28 12:05:29 +0000 UTC
Hi ilaj Nice job As usual ! i have a question i'm not sure if it's a bug or settings related but ive noticed when driving on a speficic track grass Fx flicks alot, the grass is on and off it sudently dissapears while driving in cockpit view ( vr or single screen replay cockpit view follow cam tv cam ) , and would appear again always dissapear at the same part of the track on tv cam it just flicks super fast .. but if i pause the replay where the grass disspears and use f5 or f7 camera the grass show's up only at a certan angle and distance , . not sure whats going on but it dod not happen before anything i can do on my side ? Thank you

Your car has a leak! No better immersion there ;p ...the drips don't seem to follow the same rules as the initial drops? It's the same for drips from scenery and from the car itself, some cars develop a drip from under the dash when raining.. reminds me of my first car ha
2021-02-27 14:32:42 +0000 UTC
I'm using openvr too, I found that if I enable 'sol to use CPU split' in sol config I get flickering backgrounds on some tracks. Have also had to reinstall sol a couple of times over the recent updates of it and csp... install new csp patch then reinstall sol, solves myriad issues
2021-02-27 14:26:40 +0000 UTC
THIS!!! All that's missing from true rain f1 experience.
2021-02-27 14:19:29 +0000 UTC
Hey Ilja. Awesome but the new splashing rain effect on the ground doesnt hit the windscreen in VR. These Rain Drops are inside the car and flying through the windscreen. Do you know what i mean. Would be Great if you could fix this soon. Many thanks for your effort

Anyone noticed that the external Transmission (transmission_ext) sound is not working anymore?
2021-02-27 09:06:24 +0000 UTC
It needs to be raining, and you need to follow the directions where he has the box ticked under Drive in CM settings to enable extended physics. Then when you select the car on the drive screen, there's going to be a box under the one for car specific controls that enables the extended physics. otherwise they don't show up. Also, as he said, the textures for the tires don't work with all cars. Granted I haven't check any other cars other than the 1991 McLaren MP4/6 from ASR yet. It could also be because IDK how to "make" them in the config(?) settings.

Because it's not, you can only manually add it as it's preview. It only says next to it when it is active so that's correct.

So you can see RAIN TIRES/WETS for those cars? I guess I missed that it was only for a few cars but that makes sense. LMK.

Hi Ilja! Can you bring WinterFX to AC? Winter ice and snow conditions, studded and studless tyres, dynamic racing line, snow walls, AI snowplows during practice/track day session or before race, or every morning or thuesday like grassfx, something like that?
2021-02-26 17:16:56 +0000 UTC
Why I got message - not avaliable to install?

Hi there, I cannot seem to get the Rain working online. Offline it's all ok, but I don't get the Rain in my server. I even added the csp.ini into the cfg folder server side but still no luck
2021-02-26 10:35:23 +0000 UTC
is it a mod track?

I got this installed and it rains fine and looks amazing running off the cars, but I cannot get any puddles to accumulate on the ground at all even with weather fx debug set at 100%/100%/100%. Any ideas?
2021-02-26 08:39:50 +0000 UTC
As opposed to calling it mediocre why don't you suggest fixes for the specific scenarios that you are having issues with so they may be addressed.\
2021-02-26 04:41:28 +0000 UTC
On the server in "Allowed tyres" I can't see rain tyres and I can't use it on the server..... someone have the same problem? In the welcome file I have always "For testing, rain is active with intensity 100%."
2021-02-25 22:40:15 +0000 UTC
Hello! I installed this mod and now my SOL doesn't want to change the sky, though the rain still gets activated.
2021-02-25 21:37:55 +0000 UTC
Do rain tires show up as an actual option in the pits? If so, I am not seeing them.
2021-02-25 19:39:16 +0000 UTC
Anser to myself
one question to the server_cfg_csp.ini. It contains only the parameter INTENSITY, what is the WETNESS and WATER. Can i use it and/or what is the name in the server_cfg_csp ?
[RAIN_PREVIEW]
INTENSITY = 0.2
WETNESS=0.5
WATER=0.5
REQUIRED = 1
WORKS !!!!!
2021-02-25 19:21:03 +0000 UTC
I try the rain physics and they are at best mediocre I understand its a pre-release physic mod but when you drive any open wheel cars in rain its absolutely uncontrollable...

Had a problem with rain at first try. Had to de- and recheck the Auto Rain checkbox in plan selector to let it rain. Now it works. Thanks

Hi Ilja. Thenks for the guide how to set car and track physics with rain in CM. I tried few laps at Monza on a Ferrari 488 GT3 and yesss... they work fantastic. I had to enter at the pit to change tyres to rain type, it was impossible to drive with sliks...:-)
2021-02-25 16:50:17 +0000 UTC
Hi Ilja
2021-02-25 16:46:06 +0000 UTC
Hi Ilja, is there any way we can put rain on a Server Manager server rather than one run by CM? Thanks!
2021-02-25 15:01:59 +0000 UTC
nah mine is fine, but seems Monza and RBR feels very sluggish after update
2021-02-25 14:05:26 +0000 UTC
just download the file drag the zip into content manager and install it over existing files and it will autmaticly set it to new version (to show it also on the right side correctly u might need to restart cm atleast i need to do it then u see it changed to lateest version) hope this helps!
2021-02-25 12:44:25 +0000 UTC
Anybody had Monza, Silverstone, Spa, Zandvoort and Barcelona gone missing from the track selection in CM? The files are still in the folders.

hi llja: im having a hard time getting the csp updated to 1.74. i have downloaded the file using 7-zip and drag and dropped extension into the new cm and installed 8 items but when i go into csp it shows that im still on 0.1.73- preview1. what am i doing wrong and how can i fix it?? thank you!!!!
2021-02-25 09:43:08 +0000 UTC
Hi Ilja:
since v1.72/1.73p my emissice clock digits are way less emissive. Also the new patch version didn't fix it.
Could you have a look at it?
comparison images:
https://acstuff.ru/u/comparison/7sO
[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_10]
DESCRIPTION = clock hours first digit
MESHES = clock_digit_H2
ACTIVE = 1
KEY_0 = ksEmissive
VALUE_0 = 255,255,255,0.003
KEY_1 = ksAlphaRef
VALUE_1 = -193
CONDITION = TimingDigitA2
Other emissive objects do work fine.
I couldn't find anything in change log that gives me a clue what this might be.
edit: just found out that it's because of custom MSAA resolve.

2021-02-25 09:07:16 +0000 UTC
Hi ilja, am I wrong or I no longer see this option in Wheater FX settings ?????

THANK YOU!!!! NGL before I read this post, I never even knew that rain has physics. I was like WHAT RAIN HAS PHYSICS? I NEED TO CHECK THIS!!! And I wasn't even going to load up AC tonight.....

Just had a few runs with both Tatuus and SF15 - are working for me. SF70 gives me wets but no tex/normals. 👏
Never mind, got it. :)
Found this little issue just now, when ever a session is restarded, or back to pits, the texture on the wets go away. :)

Really great work! Kudos! but is there a way to enable the Dynamic lighting for this Preview 1.74 . The "Enable Lighting in Reflection" is no longer working after Preview 1.46. Thanks

Street tires on BMW 1M were very slippery and rain didn’t wash dirt as you said but I will keep trying.
2021-02-25 00:14:28 +0000 UTC
I think we just need this: Damage Mod iRacing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd0X_wkVTLk&feature=emb_logo
2021-02-25 00:13:05 +0000 UTC
Really appreciate your efforts. One feature I'd like to see supported in VR is "Use screen drops"; I know this works in 2D but in VR it would look like rain is hitting your visor - it looked stunning in Project Cars. Don't know how easy this would be to implement?
2021-02-24 23:53:35 +0000 UTC
I have a problem, IA don't turn ON their light when night come, force IA headlight active
2021-02-24 23:12:11 +0000 UTC
With the 2 latest release, I have again a problem that I had with a past release (0.1.70). I see, especially on replay, the images that are not smooth. It's not easy to explain but I don't have a fluid video, even if the FPS are good.
All seems to be stuttering, even if imperceptible. With 0.1.72-preview1 is ok.

also i think the grooves on tires are backwards?

What do you think, is it possible to make the AI a little smarter in general? If yes, do you plan to do that in future?
2021-02-24 21:41:08 +0000 UTC
It's amazing what you are doing mate, thank you very much for your work!
2021-02-24 21:36:15 +0000 UTC
Could you please send me latest crash report ZIP from Documents\AC\logs?

2021-02-24 21:16:13 +0000 UTC
Yes, a lot of tyresfx mapping-related bugs were fixed in this build, especially the ones appearing in VR
Ilja Jusupov aka x4fab
2021-02-24 21:15:55 +0000 UTC
On the last version I had a weird parallax on the tyres, supposed to be the dirt... is it fixed by this releass?
2021-02-24 21:10:50 +0000 UTC
Unfortunately I get PC crashes with this bulld. :(
Tim Leighton
2021-02-24 21:01:39 +0000 UTC

there is wet tyres compound, but without normals

Great work, may thanks. Same issue here: no rain tyres when driving. Where do we get the configs which you mentioned?
Thomas Hake
2021-02-24 20:50:55 +0000 UTC
Thank you! Sorry about that, configs syncer was broken, fixing it now, should be ready in a few minutes. Only for those three cars for now though, generic one-for-all config support is coming a bit later
Ilja Jusupov aka x4fab
2021-02-24 20:47:45 +0000 UTC
Not yet, but it’s definitely going to be possible a bit later, just figuring out the details of how it could work
Very interesting idea about chat commands, I’ll think about how it could work 🤔
Ilja Jusupov aka x4fab
2021-02-24 20:46:53 +0000 UTC
Great work! But if I understand correctly... Online Rain is still always rain no matter what weather configuration is used? Because if we need rain on practice only but not on Qualy, that is not possible right?... Why not add chat commands for Admin user?? To activate or deactivate Rain?
2021-02-24 20:45:53 +0000 UTC
Oh, sorry, I went to check and realized configs syncer got broken a couple of days ago. Fixing now, configs should be synced in a few minutes. Thank you!

Thank you! Sorry, you could DM me on Telegram, if that’s ok, that would be the optimal way
Ilja Jusupov aka x4fab
2021-02-24 20:33:50 +0000 UTC
Hopefully soon, but it’s hard to make any predictions, sorry. It’s really one of those things where there are a ton of unexpected obstacles I couldn’t see from afar

2021-02-24 20:33:24 +0000 UTC
Epic. Checking it out now!

:O Merry Christmas everyone! Amazing work, thanks Ilja
2021-02-24 20:29:17 +0000 UTC
Im not sure to understand everything, Ok i have the rain tyres for the SF15 by example but i do not have the rain tyres skin as you have on your picture. Is it WIP or just a skin that you have download ? Thanks mate for your amazing job ;)
2021-02-24 20:25:35 +0000 UTC
Cant wait to get into this preview build and see how rain works on servers, keep up the good work man! :)
2021-02-24 20:24:48 +0000 UTC
