Sol 2.0.2 release / Dev update Sol 2.1

Added 2021-01-23 17:38:37 +0000 UTC

Sorry for being so quiet here. I'm very busy with Sol 2.1 development.

Hi,
I hope all of you had a good start in the new year!

I just recently updated Sol 2.0 on Racedepartment.
I fixed some bugs and i was able to remove a little "handbrake". So the current version
Sol 2.0.2 has a better performance then the previous versions.

During the development of Sol 2.1, I found many other ways to optimize the code. The latest alpha version is like 15% faster then Sol 2.0.2.

With Sol 2.1 and CSP 1.69 and later, we were able to fix many bugs with the cloud system. In Sol 2.1 the cloud position in relevance to the camera are fixed. Also their casted shadows are fixed. This creates a real live like scenery.

The clouds now have a global lighting code, which is very uniform in all lighting situations like sunset, twilight and night. It also speed up the calculation and improves the performance.

Due to CSP's new feature to deactivate the car's Autoexposure multipliers, a very good working AE is now possible. This in combination with automatic adapted colortemperature, will give you mostly neutral colors over the whole day.

Another big development step with Sol 2.1 will be the new config manager. Its a new class to handle Sol's config and make it much more stable with custom configs. It will be possible in the future, to show custom config parameter changes in the Sol_config App....

The latest Sol 2.1 alpha 8 is available at Sol's Discord Server:
