Tracks Ottawa Motorsports Park 1.01

[Mascot]

GutBomb, Mascot -- I've been able to reproduce your issues (both the laggy doom domes and the groove popping in and out) on CSP 0.1.62, using the free-look camera mode. However, reverting to CSP 0.1.46 (the "recommended" version in Content Manager) resolved the issues. I'll keep digging and see if I can resolve the problem, but I might just chalk this one up to a buggy CSP preview release.

Thanks - no other tracks I've tried seem affected though, and I've been testing quite a few with the last couple of CSP previews. A few more VR users at GTP have described the same symptoms with this track too. Is there anything out of the ordinary with the config? Especially the grass config?
One other thing I noticed (may not be related) is that the long line of flags on the s/f straight seem to 'pop' larger as you get close, so there's a ripple effect of the flags changing shape as you approach them. Flags have been a perennial problem with CSP previews though so it might just be buggy flags in 0.1.62.
Good luck with the bug hunting! It might be worth posting the config on the CSP discord and see if anyone spots anything unusual?

Nothing special -- I cribbed the basic setup from another track and stripped it down to the bare minimum that would get it going. I'll see what the folks on Discord have to say.

dont know whats up but the track crashes cm for me

Don’t use Merge meshes in CSP general settings, cpu optimisations

 

[Thrashy]

I've added some exclusions to the CSP config file that solve the crashing issue without having to disable Merge Meshes. Those will be included in the next update, but in the meantime those who are adventurous can add the following to extension/ext_config.ini:

[KN5]
DISALLOW_MESH_OPTIMIZATIONS = 1GRASS_INFIELD, 2GRASS_OUTFIELD, 5GRASS_INFIELD, 1SAND_INFIELD, TurbineBlades1, TurbineBlades2, TurbineBlades3, TurbineBlades4
DISALLOW_MESH_MORE_OPTIMIZATIONS = 1GRASS_INFIELD, 2GRASS_OUTFIELD, 5GRASS_INFIELD, 1SAND_INFIELD, TurbineBlades1, TurbineBlades2, TurbineBlades3, TurbineBlades4

Now to figure out the pesky GrassFX issue!

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

there's a typo on the file name and folder ottowapark.kn5 and ottowapark or is it on purpose?

Thrashy updated Ottawa Motorsports Park with a new update entry:

Ottawa Motorsports Park

This update should fix the graphical artifacts experienced by VR/TrackIR users on CSP versions newer than 0.1.46, and eliminate the requirement to disable "Merge Meshes" to avoid crashing.

Read the rest of this update entry...

Mascot/GutBomb/anybody else experiencing the dome/circle artifacts, give this one a shot. For posterity, the issue was with the groove overlay.

No seriously. I think there was an issue with the shader I had selected for the groove, and for some reason whenever it would glitch out and vanish the grass started acting up too. I'm not seeing any issues in free look mode, but it was quite a bit less prominent for me than it was in that video, so let me know if it's licked or not.

Groove should always use ksperpixelalpha. That way the groove.ini can control it.

Yeah, I missed it by one in the dropdown

I think the flag tesselation only works if the flag mesh goes from fbx to kn5 in quad form, if it’s in triangles, you get that weird effect

I have nothing intelligent to say except holy crap, Kansas.

 

[Johnr777]

I thought it was Ottawa, Canada... Clickbait

Nice track OP

When this one's 'finished' maybe I should find a nice scenic spot in the Flint Hills and stick a road course on it. Getting all the environmental presets set up to emulate burn season should be fun!

 

[aphidgod]

Careful with that or everybody in Assetto Nebraska will complain about the smoke.

 

[unpierrot]

Updated version fixed all glitches for CSP 1.62. Perfect.
And FYI, issues were even present on single screen at my side, not only VR.

 

[Mascot]

Mmm.. the updated track won't load for me with the new patreon CSP 0.1.63 build, so I downgraded to (I think) 0.1.61 and it hung while loading the main track kn5. Hard crash too, task manager failed. Needed to switch the PC off manually.
I have angered the Gods Of Sim Racing it seems, and they don't want me to enjoy this track...

There's no place like home.

Set task manager to always be on top. That way you can access it if a crashed application is hiding it.

I made a quick fix to the cameras.ini. First and last cam have to be the same, just in and out needs to be different.

I could access it, it was just totally unresponsive. This was a deep, deep crash.
