Misc Sol 2.2.9

[Peter Boese]

I did the shader installation and the sol installation and now if i select any sol weather my sky looks like this (pic1). And if i select a gbw weather my sky looks fine but my car looks like this (pic2)

Please read the manual carefully. You have to deactivate the old Shader Patch version before you install the new one!

This has been covered many times. Change the session date to a non-winter month and it'll be green again.
There are files you can delete, but it's easy to simply change the date.

It's a feature of the shader patch, not Sol.

When I change the date (Nords for example) the time is shifted by 9 hours from the time I specified. So if I set the time to 7pm, on track its 4am. This only occurs when I specify the date, if I leave the specify date box unchecked then time on track is exactly what I set in the CM.

 

[Peter Boese]

Ah! So the name of the weatherplan is what i put in the

[WEATHER]
NAME=4_MID_CLEAR

Correct?

Thanks again!

This is no weather plan. Its just the name of the weather. You can write in a Sol weather like
NAME=sol_32_Drizzle

its a known bug. it will be fixed with the next shader patch....

I read the manual and did as it says but it won't work for me. The time wont advance past 18 o clock and CM gives me an error message: "Could not find part of the path C:\.....\sol_config.lua
What can I do to fix this?

Nevermind, I installed via CM. My bad!

Hey, i'm having a similar issue with mine. How did you manage to get around it?

Just to clarify, to get wet tracks I need the track wet mods as well, that is not integrated?

Also, some tracks have additional lights, some don't. Same thing, on a per track basis?

And lastly, the track lights turn off a bit early when it's still pretty dark. Is there a way to change that?

Edit: Oh, and also, stellar work. Drove Feldbergring at night in the Capri, fantastic stuff

Ah but that wont change correct? Thats a static drizzle?

Yes. Wet mod is another mod you have to install, but it is fully supported by Sol.
There are lots of modders who are making the track lights. You can visit them here:

The track lights have to be adapted for the new solar functions (real sunpath...) - it will take a while...

Correct. For changing weather you have to go deeper in scripting Sol. Manual page 11 or https://discord.gg/EnZE8z

Peter, would it be possible to pass comment on post #319 concerning loss of sky effects from inside car. Tia.

There are many side effects with Shader Patch and car mods. It will take a while for the devs to update all their mods. Its online just for 4 days.

 

[bluepeter]

Simply put it's a car issue?

Thanks Peter for a fantastic mod,
just one question, I can't fine the file that lets you adjust the setting that dictates the ambient value that turns on the head light, can anyone point me in the right direction. I did find it two days ago & now for the life of me I can't.

Thanks

are nice people which can help you way better than me....

I found the mistake,
had ksAmbient for light, and not ksEmissive

Thanks again for your time Peter !

Thanks UnclePetey79.

Sorry for the dumb question, but when I set rain or thunderstorm I don't get any rain effect, no raindrops, nothing. Is it normal? I know that a wet mod is needed to have rain effects on the tarmac, don't know about the actual rain

There is no actual atmospheric rain at this point. Just imitation reflections on some tracks and drops on the windshield (if enabled by the app).

As a side note, does CM/Shader Patch have a workaround for the dim tail lights without PP filters enabled? I'm currently using the 'minimal' PP filter that was uploaded here so I can see the brake lights of other cars with as little FPS impact as possible, but there's still an impact. I'd love to turn off PP entirely to get that bit of performance back but brake lights are mildly helpful sometimes

Mod is unbelievable!! As above, is it possible to see brake lights with PP off?
