Tracks Kyalami 2016 0.9.5

[Prototype_]

There's not much that can't be done with CSP

Damn @Johnr777! Looks cool man!
This kind of ambient stuff adds so much life to the track.

@Mascot I completely forgot to integrate your 9 hour specific balloons into the 0.9 build - my bad - will be in the next update!

I did wonder if you were keeping them for your private collection...

I've got two builds running - one on my rig and one on my workstation - and they got out of sync. Thought it was in the uploaded build, but - clearly not ...

Just checked out @Johnr777 ferris wheel update in game, and man it looks good.

Sounds like time for an update..!

Is this track fully compatible with Sol and CSP?

äh, the last few posts of this thread explicitly talked about this track using new CSP and Sol features, even demonstrated in a video in one of the last posts. What makes you think it might not be?

In CM there is no vertex AO files for this track and I was under the impression that it needed these to make use of all the effects that CSP has to offer. I asked the question over there and that is the response I got.

vao (prebaked shadows) is only usefull for older or bad mod tracks, this track is made well and does not need this to make it better

 

[Johnr777]

...and helicopters..?

Yup

 

[Mascot]

Yup

Legend!

Okay, great, that is good to know, thanks.

I may do the vao bake, if it improves anything, but, with the dynamic 3d grass covering most terrain sections that are up close, I'm not seeing a real benefit, but worth the investigation.

It's most handy imo for repeated objects which you can't really do a traditional AO bake for, thus trees, walls, buildings

Can definitely see a plus for tree shadow bakes ... @Gunnar333 did a great tut on assettocorsamods.net

Hi,
Not sure if on purpose, but the Winter version will miss grass (w/ grass fx enabled) near the track, where without (grass fx) these are places where regular "2D" dry grass was placed.

Near the starting line to the left some tufts exist, but it's very low and sparse.

I believe it's caused by missing a less restrictive MASK_MAIN_THRESHOLD or similar that allows it to show on those non green parts, so it'll require a separate config file for the winter version, to prevent it to show where it shouldn't in summer. This can be done with an extra kyalami_2016\winter\extension\ext_config.ini

I believe it's caused by missing a less restrictive MASK_MAIN_THRESHOLD or similar that allows it to show on those non green parts, so it'll require a separate ini file for the winter version, to prevent it to show where it shouldn't in summer. Unfortunately I know no way to do it for multiple ini files under trackfolder\ext_config.ini files. trackname_layout.ini should work when under extension\config\tracks(\loaded) .

will check it out!

 

[AlleyViper]

will check it out!

Sorry, updated the post above before you posted with a better solution. Forgot to save in time. :\

edit: Not so important, on the deleted part of the message you've quoted, "trackname__layout.ini" (double underscore) would be correct way instead when outside track folder. But anyway, using a separate kyalami_2016\winter\extension\ext_config.ini works fine:

Grid & Pitincrease to 36

Sorry, if already asked, but we would like to host a league race at this wonderful track. Incl. Commentators and stewards we need 36 starting psotitions and pits minimum.
Usually i do this myself via 3Dsimed, but here i cannot open the timing.KN5 probably. It wont show me the objects for Pit and Gridplaces. So nothing for me to copy.

Any idea how i could fix this? Or is there already a version with more positions? Or are you able to create one?

Thank you

We were trying to install this beautifull track on our rented AC server but it keeps crashing when we try to connect.
The track works fine in single player for all of us.
Does somebody know how to install this track to a server?
