Happy New Year friends! It's been a long time since I uploaded a mod! But I'm back, and will be working on projects, albeit intermittently

Ever wanted to race at the Nordschleife during the off-season or the initial VLN races? I know for me I prefer the look of the Green Hell in winter. Now, you can become Connor DiPhillippi in Assetto Corsa with this mod! Simply drop the new files in the ks_nordschleife location, or as the readme.ini indicates

This effectively provides 3 seasons at the Nurburgring now: summer, autumn (with some of the fine mods already here at RD) and winter!

Credit to Joshkerr for some of the additional trackside detail files and real 2016/17 banners. Check out his autumn Nords mod here on RD!

honestly, more than 5 points...so immersive, especially in VR..so realistic...it exactly shows the Eifel Germany as it is. Thank you. Is it possible to do this for more middle european tracks?

I can no longer imagine driving here any other way. Really satisfying work.. thanks so much. Btw, it looks especially good with the new Pure weather script set to Haze and early morning (07-0800). Highly recommended.

Absolutely stellar work! Went to the 'Schleife last week, track was closed because of snow, but this looks very, very nice and accurate compared to my pictures (we went to quite a few corners)

Really gloomy, damp great atmosphere, feels allot closer to the reality you see in most of the footage from the place. Great work.

Every update is a game changer. It´s one of the best work outthere. Thank you so much for this incredible piece of art.

Bernd Graf

You are most welcome, Dreamliner, still tweaking little things slowly but surely through the track's 300 or so texture files...another update may be coming :)

Bernd Graf

Looks nice so five stars, but have I just overwritten the default Kunos Nords? I can't activate this as a mod using JSGME, and now when I select the Kunos Nords this winter version loads. How do I get the original Nords back, and how do I switch between the two..? I've got a horrible feeling my default Kunos Nords has gone for good. Please don't suggest verifying Steam cache as that will bork a whole host of other mods.

Bernd Graf

Unless you crack open the Nords kn5 file, you cannot overwrite the original game files...they exist in a hidden folder. The file destination of these files essentially override the summer foliage coded by Simone :) Deleting them will revert the Nordschleife.

Many thanks for this great mod. It´s a pleasure to drive and explore the Schleife in this condition. Looks like a total new track in Assetto right now.
Great Quality without any doubts.

Bernd Graf

I typically compress all necessary files down to DXT5 or lower for convenience...not as good as uncompressed files, but AC works on such a variety of platforms, why stop? plus, it boosted the fps I get there by 5...I love fps gains!

Excellent layout/scenery! But this does overwrite the Original Nordschleife(?) I'm doing something wrong I guess. Where do I put the files? Thanks anyway. Cheers Robin_NL
