must admit the dry weather look great - but i really don't see the point of the wet weather as ac doesn't simulate wet track or wet tyres

shame you couldn't make two version ALL/ JUST DRY

Just an imagination/gimmick, gbwSuite will not have many of them, just 2 or 3...

GBW fakes water spray quite nicely (considering it is a workaround), using custom weather,s particles ticked in CM.

Will test this tomorrow looks great in the screenshots.

Is CM really that good?

It is the best way to use standard AC. It is the only way to get AC to its real potential...

Yes.

It depend on what you think you need....
If you want to use GBW weather,s you need it.
Peter works with the creator of CM so some options is added in CM to make this weather,s possible.

Other things you can do in CM is for modders and advanced users.
In general it has lots of options that is not included in the standard launcher.

Besides all this, it is free, with some stuff locked. Donate any amount for full version.
Why not test it. It works alongside the standard launcher

As long as i can use all the essential parts of Assetto Corsa, i'm completely fine using it.

If you knew what CM has brought to AC, you would redefine "essential parts of AC". Trust me. Its a whole new world.

Just look in the manual of gbwSuite and follow the few steps. Then you could play with the options in the "Drive" menu.

Thank you a musthave for AC.
I can not use a PP filter, but looks very good anyway.

Could you please create a version without PP filter. With the Vanilla Mod you've also done a miracle.

Leonardo Ratafiá · Feb 5, 2018

I find the included filter too bright (though I only tried one of the clouds)
is there any way to reduce brightness or other filter that would also work well with this mod?
thanks

Leonardo, you can reduce the pp filter included in the weather folder (CM will use this one instead of the CMSuite one).

Msportdan · Feb 5, 2018

Can I delete the rain ones or have them without spray? Still use?

You can also use Reshade or SweetFX to reduce brightness. I would recommend this one, because some weather are calibrated with the weather's ppfilter. So you can use the tonemap.fx of Reshade or SweetFX which does not have much fps consumption and set everything to default and then just lower the exposure to your needs. Then you will benefit of all settings i made.

this is the tonemap block in the reshade.ini
[Tonemap.fx]
Gamma=1.000000
Bleach=0.000000
Defog=0.000000
Exposure=-0.000000 ;just lower this one
Saturation=0.000000
FogColor=0.000000,0.000000,1.000000

I haven't tried that for a while. I switched them of and there is a little more way to improve this by calibrating the hdr_off_multiplier. I will do this and contact you, so if you want you can do tests with it and give me feedback...
