Thanks for working on this!

New to AC... How do I turn off the winter visuals and set it to summer conditions?

Thanks.

Thanks.

EDIT: Heres where. I was way off. "Seasons"

Alternatively, you can set a non-winter date in CM here:

For anyone having issues with reverb being way too strong, please turn off the (forced on by default in a recent version of CSP) Custom Shaders Patch > General Patch Settings > Audio > "Add extra reverb" setting.

For those interested, I believe this "feature" interacts poorly with the reverb preset I've configured the track to use (MOUNTAINS preset). I'm looking into configuring this reverb function further past the presets pending some appropriate audio reference clips; doing so might help with this interaction.

ohyeah2389 updated Club Motorsports 2023 with a new update entry:

v0.5 - More important, slightly larger details

Added:
Reverb SFX
Smaller shrubbery and young trees
Digital flags in their real locations (graphics pending updates, especially the lenses)
Start-finish line (unrealistic, but nice-to-have for races) -- will not be present on the future "track day" layout
Leaf-off textures for trees in winter
Slight dead grass effect in fall conditions
Ambient SFX through CSP (pending more season-appropriate sound samples)
Rubber groove textures (pending better skidmarks textures)
Generator lights...

I see that the CM karting track is part of the model…

Are you planning on spinning that off into its own track? If not, are there tutorials somewhere that you recommend (for me) to learn how to make an AC track?

Thanks!

A future update (possibly the next one) will see the addition of two more layout configs for a total of three. One of those will be the kart track in its long layout. I could also add its short layout and reverse configs of the long and short layouts. The other configs will be a realistic trackday-spec layout for the car track and a fictional race-spec config for the car track.

If there is enough interest, I could try porting the model to Kart Racing Pro.

Cool! That would be awesome.

This is great. I frequent this track in real life and can't find much fault with this rendering. Was able to get a 1:39 in a GT4 which I think is what I would expect in real life. Though I take many more liberties in the sim with track limits. I hope you keep working on this!
