Pure 0.142 development preview
Added 2022-10-01 07:07:32 +0000 UTCHello my dear supporters,
Here is Pure 0.142 development preview. Many, many bugs were fixed and many new features were implemented.
Pure Config app got some features like the mouse-scroll parameter edit and right-mouse parameter reset. Also, there is an option, to have separate configs for different video modes (VR and/or ppOff).
Select multi configs in Pure Config
Used script settings
Exposure control got a huge update, so the brightness in the different weather scenarios has improved a lot.
All weather got further tweaking. Sunlight and ambient light were improved to match those in the different times of day and the sky cloud cover. Speculars are now adapted to the current cloud coverage.
The skydomes got new parameters to use the advanced lighting of Pure. This will improve all weather, but mostly overcast scenes, which now have a decent advanced ambient light.
Pure 0.142 already has CSP 1.79 features, which improve the lighting a lot, like the new Lambert Gamma. As soon as CSP 1.79 is released, you can use it. (I don't know when CSP 1.79 will be released)
Demonstration of Lambert Gamma
I made a major change to the PPfilters of Pure!
“pureEYE” is now “pure” the standard filter of Pure.
“pure” is now “pureLinear” (a filter with linear tonemapping)
Please check your AC VIDEO Settings and set "pure" as PPfilter. PureEYE is removed!
All Pure filters got improvements. The biggest improvement comes with “pure” (the former pureEYE filter). Its script is a very advanced usage of Pure’s lighting technics. It also uses Pure’s new SDK function names. In the next weeks I build an online scripting manual with many examples, to show, how to use Pure’s scripts and its functions.
I started Pure Planner and Pure weather controller, but it is not ready for a public usage. So I think it will come in the next version. Those two will improve the weather control a lot. Pure Planer simple plan, Pure Planner new date time select
AS ALWAYS, PLEASE READ THE INSTALL GUIDE !

Please use "Pure Config" app to check all needed settings !
Pure 0.0142 needs at least CSP 1.76 public.
For skydomes you need at least CSP 1.78 public!
As always, for rain you need CSP preview versions...

Summarized changelog of Pure 0.142
Pure Config
- New tabbars
- Right mouse click: reset parameter to default value
- Mouse-scroll: parameter finetune
- Added collapsible UI elements
- Added godrays and gamma control to “PP” tab
- If parameter values are different to the default value, they are shown yellow
- Introducing “multi config mode”. You can have different configs per video mode.
Pure uses different configs if VR or/and PP off is used.
Added states to show the used settings / script settings
Core
- Track heading is now updated per frame. “Lighting angle” in Photo Mode App now works with Pure.
- Switched to a better start procedure. WFX resets are no longer needed for a correct VR initialization.
Ambient light
- Added distant ambient light (will come with CSP 1.79)
- Better color calculation for the different times of day
Sunlight
- Lambert gamma sunangle adaption (Lambert gamma will come with CSP 1.79)
- Added speculars control
Skydomes:
- Fake clouds are now covering the sun, if the sun is covered by the skydome.
- Tweaked overcast weather
- Added directional lighting parameters
- Added cloud coverage parameter
- Speculars are controlled by sun’s cloud cover
Exposure
- Customizable mix of Cubemap Brightness Estimation (CBE) and YEBIS Autoexposure
- Smoothing (exposure adaption speeds) now works as it should
- Much better overall exposure in all weather sceneries
- Better reaction to cloud coverage
- Better twilight exposure
PPFilters
- Renaming Pure’s filters:
“pureEYE” now called “pure” – it’s the default filter.
“pure” now called “pureLinear” – a filter with linear tonemapping
Scripting
- Added a SDK like script support (will be documented soon)
- UI Elements can have a tooltip (info with mouse hoover)
Postprocessing
- Godrays are dependent of the used screen resolution. This will bring a stable look between all users.
Files
- Fixed install_pure.bat
- Added uninstall_pure.bat
Comments
I see, thank you!
2022-11-20 08:02:55 +0000 UTCThen just ignore it. It could be Pure Config has no access to the settings file. But if everything works, just ignore it....

2022-11-20 07:48:33 +0000 UTCExcuse me Peter, How can I fix "Reflections frequency is set to static!" issue? I'm very sure I set it to "Two face per frame", I'm using CSP 1.80-preview and pure 0.142. I have this issue since CSP1.79-preview and Pure 0.102.
2022-11-20 02:58:54 +0000 UTCThanks Peter, I have already tried that but it’s more the cars that look too bright, almost bright metallic. I’ll keep tweaking and hopefully I’ll find a more natural look within my content manager setting. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next update.

2022-11-19 12:34:04 +0000 UTCDid you select "Pure" as weather script?
Peter Boese
2022-11-19 08:23:29 +0000 UTCi installed through root folder
2022-11-19 03:28:18 +0000 UTCim using 1.78 and no config pop up when i open pure config. just load, save, import, export
2022-11-19 03:27:50 +0000 UTCThere is a PPoff brightness slider in Pure Config app "PPoff" tab. You can also use the exposure settings there, to control the brightness. I was able to bring auto exposure functions to the PP off mode in AC. So just try that.
Peter Boese
2022-11-19 00:03:01 +0000 UTCIs there any way I can reduce the brightness or saturation. I’m finding the cars are to bright but I don’t use a filter as get better results in VR without. I noticed the adjustments don’t work in the pure config app when you don’t have a pp filter selected? Thanks

2022-11-18 22:44:03 +0000 UTCYou set the clouds render method to 1 and you installed the highres textures?
Peter Boese
2022-11-12 17:42:48 +0000 UTCi installed it by the install.bat i extracted it to a folder, i fixed it but the sky domes dont work, i installed it all right but the clouds look like a jpg, i tried pure config and nothing seems to change it
2022-11-12 17:15:06 +0000 UTCHow did you install it?
Peter Boese
2022-11-12 17:13:19 +0000 UTCcan anyone help, pure wont show up in wetherfx
2022-11-12 13:36:58 +0000 UTCWas having the same thing, might be a CSP problem, not a PURE problem but they are interacting. If you're on 1.80preview, roll back to 1.79 preview, saw a bunch of dudes in SRP reporting the same issue.
2022-11-09 10:08:49 +0000 UTCThis looks awesome, also in VR. But VR at night is way to dark imo. Also sometimes there is a very weird glitch where all the lightsources dissapear (but only in vr in first person mode, you can see there should be light from other views). So my favoruite mod, hope this gets fixed sometime :)

2022-11-08 10:53:55 +0000 UTCWhich ppfilter do you use?
Peter Boese
2022-11-06 21:04:22 +0000 UTCHow do I turn godrays on?
2022-11-06 20:51:06 +0000 UTCPlease install CSP 1.78 or later.
Peter Boese
2022-11-06 06:02:19 +0000 UTCi need help i dont have any configurations inside pure config app while inn game]
2022-11-06 00:55:00 +0000 UTCYes, because in the base pack are only the low res files. Those will overwrite the highres ones. I'll make a highres complete install pack the next time.
Peter Boese
2022-11-04 10:16:29 +0000 UTCHi M. Boese, I sometimes have a problem with the high resolution Skydome. Everything is perfectly installed and everything works perfectly. But after a few days or weeks, I realize that the old encrypted files have taken their place and replaced the high resolution encrypted files. I have to copy them again and it works perfectly again. Do you have any idea what is going on? Thank you for your fantastic work!

2022-11-04 09:59:54 +0000 UTCI am foolish and did not know the pure config existed... I've made the changes just now and it looks fantastic! Thank you!

2022-10-29 22:39:14 +0000 UTCFirst look in Pure Config "clouds" tab. Clouds Render method must be one and quality has to be 3. If it still has the low resolution (I think you meaning this), then maybe it's an Nvidia setting "texture quality". Or do you mean, you have the 3d clouds look from the older Pure versions.
Peter Boese
2022-10-29 22:37:32 +0000 UTCwhere it says this? the latest CSP preview version is 1.79preview5. This is above 1.78.
Peter Boese
2022-10-15 23:18:38 +0000 UTCi cant use rain because if i want to install the rain version from llja jusupov aka x4fab it says i need version above 0.1.78
2022-10-15 19:49:00 +0000 UTCI'm running AC in VR (Reverb G2) without PP. I feel, that with this update, the general light situtation is much better. For example when I drive in a sunset scenario @LAC, i think before it was very dark in valleys without direct sunlight, and rather bright after the next corner with sunlight. Also driving in a tunnel seems more.. realistic. Driving at night is much better. I still have the impression, that sometimes exposure changes suddenly. Like when somebody changes a camera setting.

2022-10-11 15:40:53 +0000 UTCThis looks amazing. Just ran a few laps and the ambient lighting at dusk is exceptional
2022-10-10 10:34:54 +0000 UTCis anyone else experiencing sunrays tripping issues at sunset with hires 360 skydomes or just me ?
2022-10-09 15:14:35 +0000 UTChave you tried to change track as not all tracks have wet roads
jelly
2022-10-09 10:47:40 +0000 UTCbut i have a problem, i use SOL 2.2.3 + Pure 0.142 + Ilja Jusupov lights-patch-v0.1.79-preview5-full.zip , and when i do rain i dont have water marks and puddles on the road do you know why?
2022-10-09 10:04:00 +0000 UTChello! thats an amazing mod i love it!
2022-10-09 10:01:48 +0000 UTCWhen does the next CSP come out? It's been more than 4 months! Can you give us info? I know that you're not ilja, but if I'm not mistaken you have access to the new version.

2022-10-09 05:13:08 +0000 UTCFantastic work as always. Latest Pure and filters look great in VR on my Reverb G2. Lighting looks better overall. Also installed the latest high res skydomes which look amazing. More eye candy with no FPS drop for me.
2022-10-07 12:37:51 +0000 UTCIf it is still not showing, open Python apps debug ingame. It is shown in the apps list under CSP apps. Switch to "python log" and posrlt the red messages.
Peter Boese
2022-10-06 21:38:20 +0000 UTCIf this does not solve the problem: is the app activated in CM - settings - AC - apps?
Peter Boese
2022-10-06 21:37:04 +0000 UTCTry to delete its settings.ini in /assettocorsa/apps/python/sol_planner/settings/
Peter Boese
2022-10-06 21:35:42 +0000 UTCSol planner doesn't want to appear for me ingame or in the apps, I have Sol installed
2022-10-06 20:52:59 +0000 UTCif i made a mistake with the pure in where i put the skydome files lol if i reinstall will it fix the problem i think i put the skydome file somewhere else cause i was messing where the txtures wnts
