Misc Sol 2.2.9

[Peter Boese]

Hi,

Recently started on SOL and changed my game. Only problem is that on Le Grand Circuit the moon was extremely bright, blindingly. Is there a way to fix this? not sure if my noob settings are to blame.

Which PPfilter do you use?

I think Zusty, not at my pc now. Should I remove PP filters? or only use a specific one for sol?

Maybe this one is not prepared to switch off godrays at night. If you like this one, try to activate "godrays controlled by Sol" in Sol Config app. Page 2 or 3.

Otherwise try Sol_Extra filter and maybe inform the creator of this filter, that godrays control is missing.

Awesome, thank you so much.

Thank you for this wonderful app. Unfortunately for now the planner is not really usable during races. But I guess it will be fixed soon. Each time it's transitioning from a weather to an another one it will have 3 or more seconds freeze. Enough to make you go to a wall. 1 freeze is already too much. In the worse scenario It's 8 freezes per race...

Which cloud render method do you use? 0, 2d clouds?

Hi, is there any way to get the __SOL_VR filter? Or is that not a thing anymore?

Привет, 2 дня назад я загрузил sol 2.1.3, и я не могу понять, где включить облачные тени. Просто я не видел теней в sol 2.0, но на снимках видно разницу между 2.0 и 2.1. Ps Я из России, поэтому перевожу через Google translator. Если вы ответите, я буду вам очень благодарен.

Hi, 2 days ago I downloaded sol 2.1.3 and I can't figure out where to enable cloud shadows. It's just that I didn't see shadows in sol 2.0, but the pictures show the difference between 2.0 and 2.1. Ps I am from Russia, so I translate through google translator. If you answer, I will be grateful.

Hi Peter, it's an unbelievably awesome mod!

I have one issue though, Sol Extra and Sol Extra Reinhard ppfilters have too dark shadows/AO in some cases where the lighting is harsh (like Clear weather at Noon). Because of this the details in the dark become indistinguishable. Lowering AO_visiblity in sol config seems to fix it.

The vanilla Sol ppfilter doesn't have this issue. Is this an intentional choice?

I have attached screenshots for comparison.

I work on that in Sol 2.2 alpha. So it's because of the different tonemapping. It will be fixed in the future...

CSP and SOL working as expected, with brilliant thunderstorms and heavy rain..but no snow. Sol Planner 1.4 is working correctly, but when I manually choose heavy snow..nothing happens, the sky changes but no snow actually happens. Sleet also does nothing.

In CM, Settings-CSP-WeatherFX I have tried with Use seasonal adjustments on and off

Rain is working properly, which makes me think CSP/SOL is also working properly but..

Has anyone been able to make it successfully snow?

 

[onearmedbandit46]

Nope no one has. There is no 'snow'.

 

[AussieStig]

Hey guys can anyone here tell me what version they are using for the best VR experience? If it is an older version, where can we get a hold of it?

Cheers, AussieStig

 

[Wodz30]

Ah, just a mixup then. See when I read the text as "snow" I expected that it meant snow, how stupid of me. Then when I see the snowflake icon, I would incorrectly think there would be snow.

Apparently, the point of putting the snow text and icon in Sol was to only create confusion. Why else add a function that does not do what it says?

Much appreciated, your input really moves the conversation forward.

The next time I see a sign and icon I will be sure to think twice and not presume that it means what it says. You have given me a new outlook on life. Simply brilliant

its normal i cant save the setup of sol config?
Is it possible to get older version？

 

[Wodz30]

Anyone know how to potentially alter an .ini to help with the following?

I have CSP set to display fireworks at night and at end of race (works great). But if I initiate a heavy thunderstorm at noon, the sky gets quite dark and fireworks begin as the fireworks are under the impression that it is night time.

The issue must be with CSP and not Sol, is there a way to tell fireworks that night=time_specific as opposed to dark_specific?

My root issue is that I cannot hear thunder during the thunderstorm since the fireworks are going off. Before you reply with "just turn fireworks off", please save yourself the energy, otherwise what is the point of editing multiple mods?

In particles_fx.ini my settings are

[FIREWORKS]
BEHAVIOUR=12
LIMIT_SMOKE=2000

I doubt what I am asking is possible, but just wanted to check with you experts. Thanks in advance

I noticed that with overcast types of weather, a car casts quite a strong shadow on a track surface and it actually looks quity sunny. Is there any specific setting to make it less sunny and more greyish?

у меня почему то нет капель дождя! все остальное работает! но дождя нет!
