General AC Night

[ltcars]

I thought why not create a questions and answers thread on RD.MMy first question would be do you need pp filters turned on for this to work?

 

[Pixelchaser]

I'm going to indulge myself with night track concept. and it would be nice to discuss all things night here regards usage and construction. mainly I'm just going to go down the artistic route for night initially. @chargingcar says elsewhere he knows a bit of whats going on behind the scenes with the shader adjustments maybe he can chime in here as hes not open to pm`s ?

Yes not quite sure with the PP, I never turned them off to test it,
I help test CM with some things so always jump at the opportunity to help where possible,

the content and the mods are located here, download it and simply drag it into content manager,
https://acstuff.ru/f/d/28-shaders-patch-dynamic-lights
once installed activate it inside the "mods" in content manager,

I use this also https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/good-and-bad-weather-suite.19484/
set the time to 1 am.

Shaders mod still works with PP disabled although the graphics quality of the headlights goes down dramatically, harsh and primitive looking.


You can disable shadows, reflections and turn down other graphic options since driving at night there are many things that aren't noticeable.

I always use PP and 99% natural version, I wonder why people turn it off

There is also a "Shaders Patch - Reduced Wobbling" available by Ilja:

I'm testing it atm

 

[Fat-Alfie]

That's pretty impressive

 

[After_Midnight]

Works without any issues and I love it

relating to my earlier post here about track making and night based art. this style + night mod = best outcome. I think I could get away with just the headlights active as this tracks only modification is the weather file for morning light. besides the textures for it.

edit: I think the cockpit needs to have light flash when under the main bulbs and then it could be perfectly convincing

track name please :-O

its not a released track (yet). its an example of an idea to enhance night time mod by giving tracks the necessary artwork.

Tested and i like it
Too bad that AC doesn't change automatically the weather or PP filter.
Some will argue to wait for ACC, but i don't like the GT3's cars.

 

[ltcars]

Something is not right

 

[millen]

Yeah, the vegetation is red...
