Can't wait to hear and drive the 406

One small suggestion regarding csp induced issues:
- It seems like for lodAs csp has been disabling mirrors.ini lately on other cars (tested on 0.1.73). So, it'd help if instead of the red/blue placeholder mirror placement texture you used the ks sdk Mirror.DDS file like ks content does on the final kn5, or even, preferentially, also set the mirror material as a ksPerPixelReflection. This way they can still reflect the exterior cubemap when not being displayed truly as mirrors (see the ks_ferrari_488_gt3 as an example of later ks content using this solution). Thanks for your consideration.

using sdk Mirror.DDS instead (just renamed and placed in skin folders for testing). Even without ksppref, will look look less noticeable when mirrors.ini isn't applied to other cars


One page ago you asked for new csp stuff that would be nice on these cars, regarding that (and other than "have wipers working for rain fx"), I'd suggest setting refractive lens on the rear lights of cars also if you ever plan to do it on their front. When properly done, it can bring a much more up to date look to AC content.
Just as an after thought, though. As it could require to redo their 3d or nm's to get realistic results, and setting them up can be very time consuming.
Atm I guess most of us would prefer to see that rare time spent on missing interiors, or further expanding the grid rather than csp detailing, given that this is meant as a racing series.

thank you
good point about the mirror dds thingy, that could actually look much better then the blue/red placeholder. I'm noticing a lot before you start driving and camera circles the car ( any car)

as far as refractive glass goes for rear lights, I never got effect that I would have liked, so I decided not to do it for rear lights,
it works better on cars that have more clear glass then what Primera does

if you have good examples of refractive rear glass please share, but even on cars like these, I don't particularly like the result, not really behaving the same way as real glass, and I don't think it can be done that much better
the big limitation is - imo - the jaggy edges from filtering.

I mean it's pretty cool! ( one of the better ones out there!) and actually quite close, but the filtering just kills it for me :-/

 

[Patrik Marek]

yeah I think this looks better
not sure why I never thought of that

I always thought that was a bad CSP decryption job!

are any more of them right hand drive or are they all LHD from now on

 

[felan]

sick....in a positive way!

The 1998 Peugeot 406 is LHD which isn’t far off being complete but we have no audio recording of it.

i am pretty sure the Vectra that year was LHD

you guys are doing an amazing work !
and sticking to it for such a long time is an accomplishment on its own
so cheers to that

to the sensitive people around, don't look below

Spoiler

Have you considered making it, or part of it, a paid mod ?
I know it can be a touchy sometimes
but such an amount of professional work should be rewarded with some $ in my humble opinion

oh man i can`t wait this pack to be ready. This gonna be HOT
AC lacks on quality 90s content espacially touring cars.

 

[John Brandow]

Man that Volvo is exciting!

 

[McGherkin]

I would be MORE than happy to pay for this mod tbh. Good quality should be rewarded.

After we have previously stated that this will NOT be a pay mod, I think it would be poor form to do an about face and start charging for stuff.

I think it's that people think it would be made & released faster if it were a paymod.

go electronic arts on us

great job @ACFAN

hey that Volvo looks like it's ready for uploading to RD already! (other than the driver hands animation)

This mod makes me wanna buy a proper sequential shifter!

Edit: you gotta realize that people buy mods with much less details than that! (which are mostly rips)

 

[Risk0s]

thank you guys for your work. is there a way we could donate to the PM3DM team? sorry if this has been asked before, i didnt go through all the pages

From the BTCC :
The 1996 Peugeot 406 was LHD, 97 & 98 cars RHD.
The 1996 & 97 Vectra was LHD, the 98 & 99 RHD then 2000 Vectra LHD.
