Misc Sol 2.2.9

[jfeelders]

Weird problem in CM with the Sol Config and Sol Weather app on the latest version of Sol. In the CM apps list, my Sol Config options are the same options as Sol Weather. I no longer have the Save Load and app scale options, but rather all of Sol Weather options instead. Any ideas on what's causing that?

EDIT: Sort of fixed the problem. I deleted the Sol Config folder from the app\python directory and copied the Sol Config folder from the previous version into the app\python directory and everything seems fine now. Guess I will have to use an older Sol Config app version with the newest Sol version. Hope that doesn't cause any problems.

Bug confirmed. There's a file settings_defaults.ini in \apps\python\sol_config\settings of the RC2 and Final version of v1.6.1 causing Sol Config-settings screen (not ingame) not to load properly. Deleting the file solves it.

is there a fix or setting ?

Maybe try a former CSP version like 1.52...

Same (black smoke) results. I even tried the 0.1.46 (which was recommended) with same results. tried different cars too.

When "new smoke and dust" is activated i do not get spray at all.

That's the new RainFX modul of CSP. You need a special preview version CSP. You get this as a patreon of Ilja, the developer of CSP. Or you just wait for its official release.

Absolutely love this. One question, though - I'm using this with WetFX tracks and there's a very realistic plume of spray from the car in front, but it's back - like someone's literally burning rubber. Am I doing something wrong?

I have to look. Is it with all rain weather?

 

[GranadaJo]

on my system it is on every rain weather. i tried older csp-versions but allways get brown spray. when turning of "New dirt -Spray" all spray is black/white.

when turning of "New dirt -Spray" all spray is black/white.

Are y talking about particles fx->new smoke and dust? Cause if this is the state i get different results than you:

1) If "new smoke and dust" is active: no spray at all
2) If "new smoke and dust" is not active: i get black spray from other cars.

Good question! Definitely light rain - I'll try a couple more this afternoon.

Hi Peter, quick question:

There are some slight differences in "LIGHTNING FX" preferred settings, between the Sol guide (pdf) and the CSP preset on the Sol wiki.

Image taken from Sol guide pdf. Preferred settings from CSP preset are marked in yellow:

Which one is 'right/recommended'?

I updated it to a new method in Sol's wiki.

Sol install

I will release a new version this evening

Peter Boese updated Sol with a new update entry:

Bug fixes, improvements, new sky preset, new features

Sol 1.5.5 + 1.6.2

Sol is being further developed with a new sky environment. With this, there are only procedural generated clouds. Sol 1.5.x marks the state, where 2d clouds and a modified base of 3d clouds are used. So i decided to split the releases into Sol 1.5.x, a final version and the beginning of a new sky development - Sol 1.6 and higher.

With this release, you can switch those two branches easily in...
