Tracks Shanghai International Circuit facelift extension 0.91

BoBaHK submitted a new resource:

Shanghai International Circuit facelift extension - Shanghai International Circuit crowds and reshade

This is an extension for china_2021 track. Simply copy over the content of the folder.

Changes:
- crowds! Simple and fps-friendly 2d crowds on all those massive stands, ready to cheer F1 and WEC events alike. Some are even waving animated flags!
- symmetrical trees in the original track were annoying me - had to chop all those and plant new trees, in a carbon-friendly way
- grass and kerbs were reshaded to add wear&tear for more immersion
- some material tweaks

is it possible to do facelift of all major track from the base game?

 

[BoBaHK]

everything is possible. You are probably aware of SPA extension: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/spa-remastered.43055/. But base tracks are not bad - there are plenty of community tracks that have good foundation, but not quite there yet to be really enjoyable. So that what's I was focusing on. Which track do you have in mind, AIB_3010 ?

Is there a hint to find the track? I searched china_2021 on google but can't find it

 

[jesper801]

I can only find this version: china_2021_fab, but the extension doesn't seem to work on this version.

BoBaHK does your extension only works on china_2021 version ?​

What about the fab version of it ?
Thanks for the work

....So I can't for the life of me figure out how to install this or any other of your updates, what am I missing? Tried installing via CM of course but it couldn't find the required files to update, and even plastering the tracks map url absolutely full of the .rar-archive isn't working. What extremely obvious thing am I missing?

I am afraid CM can't correctly place the files for extensions automatically. But the zip archive is structured in a way that it should be super-easy to copy the files manually in the right place:
1. extension requires you to have CSP installed. If you don't have CSP - definitely start there. (sorry if this is obvious, but in case you are new to AC - there are plenty of youtube tutorials to guide you there)
2. find the location of AC installation on your drive (through steam or from CM)
3. open the archive and copy the "content" folder inside the archive over the "content" folder on your disk. This way only new files will be added to your existing folder (it will overwrite existing extensions that you might have for the same track, but will not affect other tracks/content)
4. Run the track through CM, as normal

Hope this helps. The installation process is very common and consistent with a lot of other bits of the content found on this website, such as skins, so hope you will find this knowledge useful in the future.
