Cars Caterham 7 Super Sprint | 1995 1.35

As I'm driving around I noticed the speedometer is imperial while the odometer is in metric.
Is this set in your mod or is it something to do with the Shader patch Voodoo that is going on these days.

Ahaha voodoo indeed! It's all set when you use content manager, so I guess miles/km can probably be changed through the settings somewhere

LAST_DIGIT_BACKGROUND=1, 1, 1
COLOR=1, 1, 1
JITTER=0.07
MOVEMENT_INTERVAL=5

I would think you can use OUTPUT_MULT=0.61 to convert it to miles (default unit is km and this =10 converts it to do tenths, iirc?)

in carfolder/extension/ext_config.ini

No idea if CM has a way to change units globally to miles though. If it does you shouldn't mess with this.

yeah i asked xfab, he said to play with the output_mult indeed, i quote:

I think you can use multiplier for that, it’s also the one separating local vs global odometer (one counting hundreds of meters, another is for kilometers)
yeah, parameter is called OUTPUT_MULT
if you set it to 1.60934, I believe that should work​

I was looking around the in carfolder/extension/ext_config.ini when I first noticed that it was clocking klms, I'll have to try the multiplier when I get home from work.
It's a little thing but as the function is there might as well have it correct.

 

[rd.king]

So I tried out the idea of adjusting the OUTPUT_MULT=
I went into assettocorsa\extension\config\cars\mods\bo\bo_caterham_s7_1700_ss_rhd
and found that there wasn't any output multi line present so I added it in .
Through some trial and error I finally got the result I was looking for.
under [ODOMETER_MAIN] I added OUTPUT_MULT=.6214
under [ODOMETER_TRIP] I added OUTPUT_MULT=6.214 to maintain the tenths digit

Heres what it ends up looking like in the file

OUTPUT_MULT=6.214

JITTER=0.02

Now the odometer is imperial to match the speedometer.

 

[Chris Kennedy]

hey thanks for the heads up, i will look into it.
I updated the mapping on the lights after i made the LODs... probably didn't update the LODs correctly to the new maps

cheers

Hi Ben, thanks for keeping the car alive, is there any chance of a fix for this one? It's quite noticeable in VR.

thanks for reminding me i forgot!
i tried to fix it through CM cause i don't have the max file anymore

try that :

23 minutes?
Working nicely, the shadow under the tail lamp switches off at lodB but the lamp itself looks all good now, thanks!

Enjoyed my first race in months with these around mosport, cheers

looking back to it now, these LOD are from 2017, so many things are wrong aha
if you can screenshot the shadow thing, but not sure i can fix that easily

glad you enjoy it
the physics are not all the same, i messed up a data, i was waiting for potential feedback of mistakes before making a new proper update, so thanks for this, that's one less thing!

 

[JackCY]

Ben has the latest physics from me, update probably soon.

some bugs
LHD F6 camera clipping the inside of the car:

also on the RHD F6 camera

and with Shaders patch and Sol the RHD does this with the onboard cameras:

 

[JackCY]

The F6 side camera may be because I use "camera_onboard_free.ini" FOV=45 not 60. That's probably the only FOV in AC I actually made smaller than default. Or is it some other FOV? I think there was some patch of view rotation lately but this doesn't seem like a patch thing.

What's the default "camera_onboard_free.ini" FOV? I have 60 saved there but in "camera_free.ini" FOV it's vice versa.

Nah scratch it all, the car itself has cameras.ini not only for position but also for FOV of each single camera and those are set to 60. It's possible that the current upload has different cameras.ini I would have to decompile it as Ben made it but in the data folder Ben put there by mistake as well the cameras.ini file is equal to what I have to a bit.





Overlayed your LHD camera looks a little different but RHD is spot on the same as mine yet I get no "clip in" but you do. Maybe some shader mod graphical optimization setting or weird GPU driver, who knows.



Don't know about the shader mod issues I haven't noticed any when I had the mod enabled. Ben plays with those lights settings and all.

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

Oh it's the shader's patch, maybe the neck FX I have enabled makes this bug

 

[JackCY]

Yeah there are settings that try to optimize performance and reorder things and what not, it's a complete graphical hack. For daylight racing I don't use it, the situations where it's optimizations provide better performance are small and with more cars the performance is worse than stock, all due to AC's CPU bottleneck. Should be in the optimizations settings.

thanks i'll check that this week; The speedo texture is tweaked to show the odometer working with the light patch, probably something to do with it, i'll investigate

 

[Chris McLellan]

Great mod, as are all the Cats. I was wondering if you are going to change the shaders on their windscreens so we can get rain on them in the future, or is it something I can do myself in Content manager?

Hey, wow i have no idea how that works
and i don't have the root files anymore to change stuff like this... :/

Oh well, it's not like its bloody undriveable is it???!!!! I will survive. Thanks again.

Damn, thing "thing" in good hands is a drifting machine!

So i was playing a bit with this car and decided to make a sound although i was only able to found this as usable (even though its a 2.0...how many engines does this car have ?)

next im going to make the engine sound as im using a different one in this video (wich is ok too but in the real one seems to be carburator and the sound should be like some sort of ITB engine...it should sound fun in the end)
