Misc Sol 2.2.9

[Lizard Of Bodom]

....
- "track and car configs" are now downloaded automatically in CM. So just clean your "/extension/config/cars" and "/extension/config/tracks" folder. Then you set the autoload feature in CM - press the 3 dots menu button:

The same for cars....

Thanks for the pointouts. I wasnt aware of this download feature, will clean out those folders and download from CM as per advice thanks.

There was defo no "dwrite.dll" to delete for me! I even searched the AC root folder (yes, I found it correctly) with win search, returned no results, so I just proceeded to next step of your SOL1_1 manual pdf.
It was a fresh steam install on that PC so not sure if that dll is there nowadays or not.
SOL and CSP (preview.140) works fine and I managed to get them working correctly for most stuff (indicators, weather etc, that part installed correctly) Its just that step 4 and 5 (zip download from github) confused me a bit.

thanks!

Without dwrite.dll ... CSP should not work ... so I guess you should look at your file display options as it might be for you a hidden file... the only reason surely why you cannot see it.

He meant, it was before his installation. He did a clean install. So it couldn't be there...

Thanks for the new version!

Nice to see continued progress. I havent actually updated in a while, can I install latest over v1.2.0?

Yes. Sol versions are always complete installs.

 

[Jempy]

I wonder if it's always the same for SLP versions ?... I know it's not your thread, Peter ... but since I changed twice the SLP version in CM ... all Extensions APPs disappeared from CM, game and files ...what I never experienced before when installing them manually ....

I finally could get them back easily as I didn't erase the 135 version from JSGME MODS folder. I just installed them back manually.

Could it be CM which should erase a previous version before installing the next one ? this only might explain why they disappeared if some SLP versions were not complete.

Maybe someone already experienced such a similar case ?

Strange. Never had such a problem. But 140 should include everything.

 

[cerebralvortex]

Thanks for the update !

Does it have to be CSP v140 exactly ? I can't use v146 with it ? You seem to mention it has to be v140.. so double checking.

 

[Jempy]

I see in the list that 135 is mentioned as buggy ... and that's one of the ones I installed in CM ... maybe that's the reason. Now I'm on 140 and did install the missing apps manually .. it should be solved for good....
Should it happen again, I'd mention it at SLP Discord.

Peter, why clouds are static and doesn't move during the session?

No. You can use 146, but its buggy. So i just recommend 140, mostly for the not so involved people...

 

[Peter Boese]

Maybe wind is at 0.

Oh ok, thanks. I will check out the update when the temperature drops a bit

 

[MatteX87]

No, because I always use real condition. Wind is at 4km/h and clouds are static. This happens to me from Sol 1.2

 

[mteam]

Does real conditions set the weather as it is at the actual location have you tried unticking real conditions and adjusting the wind speed manually to see of you get cloud movement

You're right! I put 35 km/h and now clouds moves! Thanks for the tips
