The chicane is finished, There's just a few more updates I want to make before I release this update.

Looks awesome! Do you have an idea of when it'll be ready for release?

Tyrone updated F1 Las Vegas 2023 Grand Prix Layout. with a new update entry:

Track Overhaul + New Chicane

Since the track layout was announced, and I built the track, the organisers of the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix have changed the layout.

To Quote - RACEFANS.NET
“The total number of corners on the track has increased from 14 to 17 due to the addition of a new chicane.

The left-right corner combination has been inserted in the middle of turn six, which was originally intended to be a continuous, 180-degree bend...

I have unzipped both stFlow and ksPPMM_emissive, and put both their sdk and system folds in the root of the game. But when I launch it through CM, it gives me this error msg.

So excited to try this out. I've update CM and CSP and followed the install instructions but when I copy both sets of sdk+system files into assetto corsa it says I have 10 other of the same files. I also get the following error message when I try to start the race. Will someone help please?

Error might have something to do with:

AC\inireader.cpp (253): INIReader::getFloat
AC\surfacesmanager.cpp (63): SurfacesManager::loadSurfaceDefinitions
AC\surfacesmanager.cpp (29): SurfacesManager::SurfacesManager

the track looks great , but is there a day version with no lights ? i m guessing the lights are the culprit but the performance on this is alot worse than most tracks :/

 

[Hoksu]

Would be great if the AI could be improved on this track. This is an amazing track otherwise but the slow AI makes it difficult to race in singleplayer

 

[Lukas9627]

I can't drive the track because I always get this error. What can I do so that it no longer comes. P.s other routes I can drive.

Hi Tyrone! thanks for the track!! excellent work. I am having trouble with some parts of the track / lighting... it seems that the car is FAR to bright, as well as some parts of the track look too bright. which of my settings could be wrong?? (i am new to sim racing and this might be obvious... but wanted to ask for help)
Thanks in advance!!

Love the mod, beautiful work: thank you for this mate!
In VR though, it is very heavy and even an RTX 3080 can't run it on low: do you happen to know a workaround for this?

 

[Fernando Vizcaino]

I delete the extension file but my game still crashes when I start the track, it goes back to the screen where you choose car and track. I don't use CSP. Anything I can do?

please use CSP

The track is very beutiful and well made, but I miss the DRS zone. Do you think it will be on place soon?

 

[gearwhine]

Same here with VR. RTX3080 and impossible to run at any level. Lovely track and i am sure it is something simple but unplayable right now in VR.

Tyrone - Nukedrop Mods updated F1 Las Vegas 2023 Grand Prix Layout. with a new update entry:

v3.0 Lighting and Performance increase.

Changelog

Well, I did not keep track as I was going, so certainly things here are missed out but….

• Working Start Lights Gantry
• Working LED flag indicators around the circuit
• Noise Cloud generated road surface for some better ‘road feel’
• New Replay Cams
• Complete re-do of the circuit lighting for far more efficient use of system resources.
• New Grand Stand on S/F straight. It is not brilliant, but is a close approximation of it.
• New animations for the 'sphere'
• 3D...

Do you have a timeline on when this will be race-ready? Looking at the update notes for 3.0 there’s no comments about pit boxes, track limits, etc. When I went into the previous track to try to adjust track limits the entire track was a single surface texture.

What is the issue with the pit boxes?

Is there a way to make it "lighter" in terms of GPU usage?
I mean; on a high resolution screen it is no problem, playing in VR (1440 x 1440) it runs only 25 fps on a RTX 3080.
Other tracks are not such a big fps-draw as this one.

At this point the lights are bare minimum, you can always try playing around with the variables in the config file.

line 441 has the main lights series code.

;LIGHTS
[LIGHT_SERIES_...]
ACTIVE=1
VISIBILITY_LEVEL=0
DESCRIPTION=street lights
MATERIALS=lightlens, large_light_lens
OFFSET=0,2,0
DIRECTION=0,-1,0
SPOT=180
SPOT_SHARPNESS=0.5
RANGE=90
RANGE_GRADIENT_OFFSET=0.25
FADE_AT=800
FADE_SMOOTH=33
DIFFUSE_CONCENTRATION=0.17
CLUSTER_THRESHOLD=50
COLOR=19,18,20,0.8
COLOR_OFF=0
LONG_SPECULAR = 0
CONDITION=NIGHT_SMOOTH

Increasing the 'cluster threshold' value will spread them out even more and hopefully boost your performance. Reducing the Range value will also help. I have bolded them here so they stand out.

I only have the one system to test on, and native 4k I got it to a locked 120fps now. Up from 80 or so in the horrible version from before.

A few questions.

Are you running anything like Reshade?
Did you do a fresh install?
in VR what Pixel Per display value are you using?

For sure there's optimisation work that could be done on the 3D models themselves, a lot of the hotels for example are from Sketchup 3D warehouse and (aside from looking a bit pants) use PNG and JPEG textures, which arent the best for performance.

I have the same 3080 as you. Do a fresh install as Ty says. It is running great now at 90fps in daylight. 85 at night with some stuttering but its light fantastic in there. Nothing would run any different with all that going on
