Misc Sol 2.2.9

[Giando Fraschini]

@Peter Boese
Oh-my-god! What a gift for the AC community!
I've finally managed to properly install Sol (and such easily now with the recent beta for CM) and it's mindblowing...
It works so smoothly in VR with Oculus CV1... i particularly enjoy the 16.30-18.00 hours range with windy clouds... it's awesome and is perfectly integrated with the Shaders Patch, the Real Mirrors... it's so beautiful that sometimes you would love to drive very slowly to appreciate everything around you, the reflections and the shadows.
I've just finished a quick race on the Nordschleife, wet mod, sunset, cloud and windshield mod... and wow, simply wow!
You are either an alien or a god, ahaha!
Thank you again for this gem and for any kind of future update.
Love from Italy

Blows my mind how amazing AC looks with Sol and the Shaders mod.

"I just have to pick the Sol weather selection first within C.M then exit out of C.M and open game with regular Assetto Corsa."
No. You have to start AC trough CM, otherwise some things will not work.

I know that . Please read my post , " when I try it thru CM the image in my VR is spinning!" only with the original Assetto Corsa does the Sol mod work!

Do you have Neck FX enabled?

How accurate are the eclipse times ? I set up the date Aug 21, 2017, 1020am for an event that was visible in Los Angeles, didn't seem to work. This was at LA Canyons which has correct GPS cords.

Although the date Aug 11, 1999 11:10am works properly for Nordschleife .

Very strange. Don't know what happens there.

Sun and Moon are completely off for me too there - so it must be something with the geotags

A new Shader Patch is available. Follow to Sols discord beta channel:

There are many fixes and features:

• Reflections fixed;
Cars now don't be lit by the sky in the night, The mirrows show the correct sky.
• Seasonable adjustments are disabled when accurate sun movement is disabled;
• Option to disable seasonal adjustments;
In Settings->Custom Shader Patch->weatherFX
• Keywords recognition in weather ID online or for older replays

With the latest Sol beta I noticed Sol is now an entry under Content/Mods. Disabled the Sol entry, got message that enabling it would cause instability, deleted entry, all seems well.

which settings should be enabled?

Im getting this:

sol 1.0 (the link here in RD)
shader patch preview 44

You're sitting quite high there. That's seems to be wrong

sol 1.0 (the link here in RD)
shader patch preview 44

Most likely this has nothing to do with Sol, but with the new shader patch. In the TAB General Patch settings, you will find checkboxes for optimization settings. Try to disable them one after one. It could cause this....

thats right. I installed preview 42 and its fine now 44 makes my cars disappear

But it would be better to find the reason why it disapears. preview 44 brings much features, like the fixed reflections with weatherFX...

yeah i'll reinstall everything new a try it again later.

For now, with sol 1.1 and preview 42 i'm finding some visual things that standout, for example the dashboard reflection on the winshield at dusk looks weird:

Or, If I enable the windscreen fx and shadows this happen when objects cross the sun

edit: actually the last picture also happens with windscreen fx off. With the extention on but shadows off, the result is the first picture.

I think this is all normal, just looks a bit off becasue the reflection of the dashboard should be weaker Î suppose, but its intensity is the same as if it was noon.

cars disappear on preview 43 and 44, with all settings off.
