It's actually in JSGME format, because for many people the drag'n'drop install via CM is working. But sometimes there are problems. So I decided to describe the safest way. It's just 2 clicks inside.

okay installed via cm gonna test it now thanks for the help

Peter, any reason not to make SOL downloadable same as CSP and all tracks/cars/vao configs in CM.
The functionality is there already.
Unless you automate install, there will be people doing it wrong and you spending your time trying to help them out.

Hello, Peter
Pls,,, I installed the csp 185 + sol 1.3 + Texture CCP
Imola and Zandvort were great, but, Brands Hatch is kind of weird
Could you post a screen of your Brands Hatch track for comparison?
I'm in doubt if there's something wrong, see the colors of the grass on my screen.

I have a problem at certain times of the day some objects eg grandstands/distance markers are too overexposed they appear very washed out almost white?

This may sound negative, if so I apologise, but I have stayed with Sol 1.2.3. - patch 0.1.25 preview 140 (recommended) and have not experienced any problems.

I think it is supposed to be like that. NPTC who made the config for the track likes to have a look of withered grass in the hot months. I do the same with tracks where this is normal in summer time. Just look at vallelunga...

That's fine. I made some texture color corrections for the Konus tracks. The will work with this version also or with any other version. Maybe you like to try this. It's link is in the guide.

Could you make a screenshot of this and could you read chapter 2 in the guide, how to do the Screenshot, so I see the sol debug info....

Thanks Peter, I downloaded the link. I think I have installed it ( I am not a techie..........lol). As far as I can tell I have not done any damage, although I must admit I am not sure if I see any difference in tracks (from previously). Is there anyway I can check that i have updated correctly ?

Edit: I have checked the individual updated track(s) skin folders within AC folders and they show today's dates for individual files. So I assume that, yes in fact, they have been updated. Many thanks Peter.

The app looks fantastic and I will surely donate if I can get it to work....

I am using content manager and after a blank install I then installed the latest light shader (file name v0 1.25 preview 140) using drag and drop into CM.

I then manually dropped the 4 latest Sol files (1.3) from an extracted down loaded zip file into the AC root.

Sol doesn’t seem to work. There is no change in weather and sky is always blue regardless of time of day. I do see stars at night time but in the clear blue sky in broad “daylight”.

The shadows track however (disappearing at “night’) as time elapses and the wind blows the trees.

When running the mod and checking the ‘sol weather’ in game I see the error message:-

ERROR:extension\weather\sol\sol_weather.lua;388:attempt to call field ‘getCloudsShadow’ (a nil value)

Can somebody advise what I am doing wrong? I have been faithful to the posted sol manual checking and rechecking settings parameters.

I am at a loss now.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, as it was ‘untested’ I didn’t try it (missed the different number on the manual as I scoured everypage.....). Don’t I feel a prat. Donation on the way. Great thanks!

New Sol looks good overall but I still have the problems I reported a few days ago

It must be the Interior view controlled dyn. amb. brightness feature that makes my open wheel cars look bad in overcast weather. Is there a way to trun this feature off or have it ignore open cockpit cars?

I dont know if the Sol PP filters are working as they should but the default Kunos ones do not look correct.

Also, changing weather while on track causes Dynamic Weather to be automatically enabled next time a track is loaded rather than use weather chosen in CM menu.
