Tracks LA Canyons 1.2

JackCY · Oct 17, 2018

Dam pictures look complete, it spills over when necessary, doesn't look mid construction to me.

AO... some like it some don't, sometimes it's prebaked as a texture, sometimes it's done via shaders. AC used to support it via Yebis right in the game but they removed it with one of the patches along with depth buffer access, killing access to it even for SweetFX/Reshade. As such I guess only the shader mod may have depth buffer if he found it, otherwise it's again prebaked as a texture. Definitely nice to have for rock formations.

There's a pre-baked per-vertex AO file available for LAC, for those using Ilja's shader mod. Didn't want to post a link without @Phoenix77 's permission, but here's a couple of screens:

Cheers mate, appreciate you sharing the info

Hmm... as a track maker, I'm not sure how I feel about a new shader that does that.

I feel like AO is what helps to set good/greats apart from just average tracks. But if rips and RTB tracks can look just as good but with no effort now....

If there was a 'make stupidly huge AC canyon track' button in 3DS....
I have to confess... I would have been tempted to press it.
So if there's a similar 'make baked shadows for stupidly huge AC track' button, I'll probably be tempted to try that too

At the end of the day... I'm honoured that Ilya chose to practice his wizardry skills on LA Canyons

dang you were there in real life!
took me a moment when you talked about the gates closed, i thought in AC ...
That seems so unreal to me! Such an amazing drive it must be when you've spent time driving the thing ingame.
thanks a lot for these pictures. I think i understand the basics of the dam, once the Fox body is done, it will be turn for the dam, i'll take some liberties and model it to how i think i see it
Beautiful weather, plus you met Smokey for real

edit: 1000th message on the support thread :o

1000th message.... That will have to mean a prize giving ceremony!

Awesome Fox Body mate!
I'm sure Matt will like having it preserved in someway in AC

btw the auction is currently up to $65,000!

Until then be sure to enable the AI Flood option in the CM. Woooooooooooo weeee crazy times driving with AI traffic all around, hahha.

You mean Track Day? if so i didnt know thats what it was called. thats exactlly why i wish to limit the ai to one lane because the ai acts a little funky in about 3 diffrent sections of the course.

CobraCat · Oct 22, 2018

Specifically this feature. Trackday has been an option in the CM for a while, this AI Flood feature is new.

I've been MIA for several weeks. It was nice to come back and see the great compliments given to @Phoenix77 from Matt Farah. If anyone know's this road, it's Matt.

so if you use that offset value... and set traffic the other way around too ?

would need some speed limitation as now everyone seems to be late for their appointment or something XD

TedCr · Oct 22, 2018

I've submitted a well deserved donation but I'm uncertain how to access the extra track. Would you help?

Try disabling and enabling the Shaders Light Patch again in CM. That worked for me. Plus download the latest patch, rc6

Please note that "settings" page only works in the paid version.

I adjusted the offset value, didn't seem to change anything although it may work in conjunction with another setting. At some point we are going to need a college degree in Content Manager to fully understand all of its capabilities, hahah.
