I did it manually and updated shaders to 1.40.

What you copied exactly?

 

[alexm.poland]

I copied content of zip file to MODS/SOL directory

Hmmm. You could deactivate/activate the mod again or you do it like it is described:
Install Sol 1.2 manually:
1. Open the Sol zip.
2. Go into the folder /MODS/Sol
3. Copy the folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder
4. Confirm overwriting existing files

I just tried to install sol zip file by draging to content manager - it confirmed installation by there is no change.

I don't know what happened but now there is no WatherFX app on the list...

 

[Peter Boese]

Look in Settings>Assetto Corsa>apps and activate Sol_config and Sol_weather. Then you have it ingame in the list.

 

[alexm.poland]

OK, works

You can just disable Sol's self calibrating AE and use mode "0". Than it's the original behavior.
In sol_config...

You can also use Sol's custom config script possibilities to create an own sol config linked to you filter with much more options to create nice graphics. I could describe it if you want.

The results I wanted were obtained.
Thank you for answering.

Peter, please clarify some doubts.

I use Content Manager.
- Where do I see the currently installed version of the mod SoL?

- You suggest Update (your Shader Patch) to version 140, but when I update to this version the image of the lights gets very blurry and when I go back to version 49 of the Shader Patch the image returns to normal.

- Is there a correct installation sequence or does it make no difference?
1-SoL and 2-Shather Patch or;
1-Shather Patch and 2-SoL?

Do you have any tips for the solution?

I fiddled around with Shader Patch's ExtraFX. I found a setting where the sharpness of the picture remains and where shadows are more natural. Its also the setting with the lowest fps loss:

Actually the use of the motion blur prevents it to go in this blurry mode.

It will cost some fps (g.e. if you had 140 fps, you will have 125 fps after)

@RimJobRacer It could be used to get rid of too bright cockpits.

This is great! Thanks for the recommendations. More like this would be highly appreciated. I wish Content manager had the option of saving different Shader Patch configs like you can do with the regular graphics and controller settings.

You see the sol version string in the Sol_weather app.

Please make a Screenshot of those "blurry lights"

Just update to Shader patch 140 and then install Sol manually.

Hummm,,,
I did the reverse. I installed the SoL mod, and then the Shather update.

See the screens ,,,
On some tracks (Le Mans for example) the blur becomes even more pronounced.

SOL 123/Shather Patch 49


SOL 124/Shather Patch 140

*** I have refitted the installation in the sequence indicated, but it made no difference,
the problem is the same.

Hi Peter, sorry for the question but are there any options to lower wipers sound volume?

 

[eg01st]

Can anyone tell me what is this and how can I get rid of it? Effect appears on some parts of the track and is really annoying. I changed around Sol settings in app, but I can't get this back to normal. Shader patch version 0.1.25-preview140.

AI cars get lit up from bottom, my car has just the glass object illuminated.

Are you sure the latest version of Sol is running. Just look in the sol_weather app, there is a version string.
I think it is an old version, which is incompatible with the changes in csp's dynamic ambient light.
So just try to install Sol manually:
1. Open the Sol zip.
2. Go into the folder /MODS/Sol
3. Copy the folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder
4. Confirm overwriting existing files

Thanks, that worked! BTW I just noticed trees and grass moving in the wind. Awesome!

@Peter Boese Will it be in the future possible for Sol to dynamically load or mix the wet track mod with the standard one, so the track become wet only when it start running
