CSP looks weird on vanilla track

[RaceWasGood]

I'm sure it's something basic i've missed, but i can't figure out what causes this on Highlands for example. This is CM/CSP straight "out of the box" - i haven't tweaked or added anything (as far as i'm aware... ).

There was an issue with earlier versions of CSP that had a faulty weather_fx system. Version 1.74 “should” have this fixed...

Thanks! So the black bar in the horizon would actually have to do with weather fx? Who would've thought...

I think you need the track config, right click->install

Thanks! I'll check that as well.

This solved it, thank you! I've completely ignored the 'tracks configs' in the past... Do tracks in general look better using the configs provided here? I mean like should we use these configs whenever available?

Not always, only if you have problems.
But yes to: lights at night only with configs.

Sorry for yet another newbie question, but how do you uninstall a 'tracks config'?

You have to manually delete it from
assettocorsa\extension\config\tracks\loaded
in above case its called "ks_highlands.ini"

To be exact you then also should remove "ks_highlands__buildings.kn5".
For "Highlands" this is a particular big file (~170MB).
Edit: Most other configs come without extra kn5 or way smaller ones.
Edit2: i.e. "ks_nordschleife" has 3 extra kn5's, 2x~20MB and one 0.5MB, and the ini file of course

Thank you sir! Very helpful

Just as a broad overview explanation of the black bars, one of CSP's optimizations is to draw the sky after the opaque scenery, to reduce gpu load (since then sky covers less than half the display instead of all of it, and CSP weather means it's a more complicated calculation to figure out what the sky looks like) but a lot of vanilla content has the very distant walls incorrectly tagged as opaque instead of transparent, so the top part of the texture ends up without sky drawn under it.
