Misc Sol 2.2.9

[Peter Boese]

Is wet track surface part of the weather selection of rain or heavy rain.
or is that part of some other mod.
I have never been able to get a handle on how to implement that.

ATM you need an additional mod called "wet mod" to have some wet looking and feeling tracks. But there will be a real rain integration in CSP soon, which will work for all tracks....

There are 2 reasons. It's a mod, with no wiper support or it's set "manually" in Sol_weather_plan app.
Maybe update the "car config file" in CM settings - custom Shader patch - car configs. Set them to "automatic download".

HI Peter,thank you for the great improvement. I got the same issue with wipers with various cars kunos included: with 1.6 they do not start automatically despite I set it in SOL weather plan app. Instead if I choose the 1.5.4 they restart working normally. Is there anything I can do to get them working also with 1.6. Thank you

Sorry Peter, I found the solution scrolling your previous feedbacks: to make the wipers working with 1.6 I simply needed to delete the "weatherFX.ini" in /extension/config and reinstall CSP in settings - custom Shader patch - about & update. I hope this may be helpful for anyone could have my same issue

The lower fps in the 1.6 compared to 1.5 is because of the new sky? Any way to low the quality?

I had to use Wet Mod because the track surface never changed despite it raining on SOL. Wet Mod adds a wet version of each track and then you can activate rain with SOL

BLM has a wet effect but the dev has been slow to provide a suggested fix for some broken tracks.

If anyone has problems with selecting the 2 Sol versions in weatherFX, please delete the "weatherFX.ini" in /extension/config and reinstall CSP in settings - custom Shader patch - about & update.

I might be losing my marbles here but were the tyres in open-wheel cars always this reflective?
It's more noticeable when the car is moving. The reflections of the trees and other surrounding objects I think are a little more pronounced. Even the level horizon.

Really love SOL 1.6. The cracks of thunder is really great! I did have a couple of issues.

1. Wet Mod tracks don't show a wet track
2. When starting with sol heavy thunderstorm myself and all AI would be stuck at the grid out of gas.

Deleting the weather_fx.ini file and reloading CSP fixed the no gas issue and I don't mind that wet track mod doesn't work so no wet roads, but I'm happy to wait for it to be implemented in CSP at a later date.

My question though, with wet roads not coming till later in CSP, we shouldn't expect wet spray from the cars ahead of us? If that's the case...I believe I'm correctly setup and happy to be on the SOL 1.6 train

ciao, dopo l'aggiornamento SOL ho qualche problema, le luci rosse delle luci posteriori a una velocità leggermente superiore a 0-10 km / h, lasciano una scia rossa dietro di loro come se le luci si allungassero o la luce rossa si accendesse, le altre luci come stop e luci anteriori no.
e non fumo più dalle ruote.
Ho provato diversi CSP ma il risultato è lo stesso e ora uso 1.52.
per risolvere il problema delle luci devo disattivare LIGHTING FX, ma mi chiedevo se potesse essere impostato diversamente per risolvere invece di disattivare

 

[Denny370]

hello, after the SOL update I have some problems, the red lights of the rear lights at a speed slightly above 0-10 km / h, leave a red trail behind them as if the lights are getting longer or the red light becomes solid, the other lights like stop and front lights don't.
and I no longer smoke from the wheels.
I have tried several CSPs but the result is the same and now I use 1.52.
to solve the lights problem I have to deactivate LIGHTING FX, but I was wondering if it could be set differently to solve instead of deactivate

Dang Peter, u a genius!

THANK U!!!!

 

[Denny370]

ok you are fantastic as always .. I solved with your instructions, I also removed the check for "new smoke and dust" and now the smoke is back, but I have too much smoke now, smoke all the car in the front and not only from tires, and smoke as I go forward as soon as I accelerate without the tire slipping, and smoke when I change gears or brake

Hello Peter, thanks for your continuing superb work! Can you tell me what the following messages mean please, and if I need to fix anything? I got them after enabling a Sol plan for evolving weather.

Just ignore those messages, they are not causing any troubles. I'm on a solution to prevent them...

Is there anyway to play with 2d clouds and with the new thunder sound/weather ? I dont like the 3d clouds + for me they are ugly and cost a lot of perfomance. Dont get me wrong Peter, you are genius, but just i am wondering, if its possible to edit some files or replace something i dont know

No. The lightning and thunder is only part of Sol 1.6.

 

[leclettico]
