Doesn't support well resolution and aspect ratios. Previews depend on authors 1920x1080px 1.77777 ratio and his mouse sensitivity. The way to get around it and get reasonable previews is to disable the deformative downscaling that ignores aspect ratio and setup your own mouse movement based on your resolution and mouse sensitivity. No option to generate preview only for one skin. No FOV option, neither AC showroom seems to respect it in it's cfg. No direct camera positioning.

57MB for a simple UI app... either it has 10million lines of code or the Node-Webkit takes so much ridiculous space to make an executable.

Usable but I fear the day it crashes and messes up the whole AC and I'm gonna be looking for back up files to revert the mess back. Haven't seen any back up files so far either.

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for such a big reply.

> Doesn't support well resolution and aspect ratios.
Of course, sorry about that. I'll fix deformative downscaling.

> mouse sensitivity
As far as I understand, acShowroom's rotate angle directly depends on PC perfomance.

> No option to generate preview only for one skin
Well, I think it's useless until app can't set the same angles between shot sessions.

> No FOV option, neither AC showroom seems to respect it in it's cfg.
Ok, I'll add it.

> No direct camera positioning.
Please, please, write to Kunos directly (@KunosStefano, for example) and ask them to make acShowroom to read CUSTOM_CAMERA_POS or whatever is in showroom_start.ini. Because for now it looks like app ignores them. And also it looks like they ignore me. :D

Or, if you know anybody who is good with IDA and stuff, I would really use some help.

> 57MB for a simple UI app
Yes, I hate it too. And also I've tried really hard to compress it as much as possible. But stuff like UPX, as far as I know, increases RAM consumption even more.

> Node-Webkit takes so much ridiculous space to make an executable.
About 80 megabytes. It's basically just Chromium with Node.JS and some extra features. A little scary when you think about it.

By the way, I've just tried to rewrite everything using just C#+WPF (http://i.imgur.com/OLqOOJb.png). Much more stable, exe-file weights less than megabyte (well, for now) and everything. But it's just SO MUCH SLOWER, and there are still a lot of things to do! So, to be honest, right now I don't even know what to do next.

Well, it doesn't have to. Don't use beta-versions it you're worried.

Sorry about all these inconvenience, as you can see I'm not a very good programmer. :3

Such a helpful tool!
Best Tool for AC.
Big Thanks! Great work!

But for me the default setings in Auto Preview are way off.
I came very close to Vanilla AC with:
X= -250; Y= 80; Distance 5.5
I dont know if its just me?!

Thank you.

> But for me the default setings in Auto Preview are way off.
This is weird. What is your screen resolution? If it differs from 1920×1080, most likely this is the reason. In this case I'll add some kind of presets for different screen sizes.

Great tool. So useful!!

It would be even better if you could also check and edit the brand badge.

And maybe tracks management in a nearly future? ;) That would be awesome.

Thanks! But you could check brand badge, just click it, it's on the left side of car's name, it's not logo.png (yet?). By the way, you can add new logos for special brands or replace built-in logos, just open user directory of Cars Manager and put images into “Data Storage (User)\Badges”. Also, there are two batch processors, one could help to assign proper brand badges based on brands, and other one could copy brand's badge as logo.png. It's not much, but still.

I'm working on new better version with tracks right now, but it will take some time. Sadly, there is still a lot of work which need to be done. :)

It's good, but since 1.3 "update preview" won't work. It enters showroom but it won't rotate the car nor take pictures..

Thanks very much for this super helpful piece of software, if you found you way to making something similar for tracks i would pay for it

Sorry, it's just an error in 0.2.23 version. Title is misleading, I forgot to change it. You have to select root AC folder, and then app will able to disable cars by moving them to content/cars-off.
