Misc Sol 2.2.9

[dhmotor]

There are some directions in the instruction manual that talk about setting Sun instead of Time for the track lights. Specifically, Daytona track lights cut out before the sun is illuminating the track for me. I can't find where that setting is. Does anyone have a path they can share for me? Thanks.

I've noticed that some cars have a sticky/jumpy rev counter. The Kunos Porsche 917 K and the DRM Yamamoto Delikata 2 are the cars I've noticed it on. Turning Sol off solves the issue.

The Kunos Ford Escort RS1600 has the same problem

The sticky rev counter is a feature of the shader patch I think. Older cars used that type of gauges that had that behaviour.

The shader patch uses a setting called: 'Use accurate tachometers' under Car Instruments. When checked this should simulate impulse tachometers which are mainly used in older cars. Can someone tell me what this means?I discoverd it causes the tacho to stop moving smoothly and instead it skips in increments of about 500/1000 rpm.

That's pretty much what it means, old tachs are not smooth, they count revolutions and then every half second or so, update the position. If you look at period videos (60s-70s) you can usually spot one. Smiths chronometric is one common brand of the 60s, Jaeger is another earlier one.

eg.

Thanks a lot for the explanation and the nice video.

Any idea why Sol makes the top layer of grass such a pale bright green, look odd on top of the dark layer, and is there a fix?

Thats a problem right now with shader patch, but we are on it.
For now here are some tips to boost it:

Wait, this is odd. Some cars have the headlight problem and others don't.

For example:
- ALFA GTA

- ALFA Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Any ideas?

Peter, have you had a chance to take a peek at the issue I posted? It was the replay issue... And just to note, the multiplier was 300 but I initially had it at (x) 6 with the same issue. Thank you.

The Kunos Ford Escort RS1600 has the same problem

Same with the old Porsche 718 60's car.

The car with the cut off headlights probably just needs a config file created. I had the same problem with the 911R. Xfab suggested these settings.

[LIGHT_HEADLIGHT_0]
SPOT_EDGE=0.121, 0.120, 0.118
SPOT_EDGE_SHARPNESS=50


I changed the spot edge sharpness to 2 which reduced the boundary sharpness of the headlight beam, although as a result the light output was reduced so I had to boost the headlights to 300%. Simply creating a config ini for that car and putting in the above entry should resolve the issue you are seeing.

Config.ini file should have the exact same name as the car folder it is supposed to corrospond with and it goes in this location. Kunos folder for Kunos cars and mod cars for everyone else.

steamapps\common\assettocorsa\extension\config\cars

Here is the Giulia, first pic is with the settings above , 2nd pic is with the edge sharpness set to 2 and brightness at 300% via the BLM Car app. There is less vignetting with the edge sharpness set to 2 or lower although, when set below 2 even at 300% brightness the headlights are far too dim to be effective.

I can't do anything to fix it - thats a shader patch issue. But Ilja is very busy doing the online compatibility. So he will fix it later....

Sounds great, TY Peter.

Ahh I see we can only get beta patch for Sol via your Discord channel then, I'll have to wait then..till you release it.

Any ideas on the problem I mentioned with the world blacking out on Laguna Seca in a McLaren 650S GT3? Tried latest shader patch and Sol beta but still the same.

You need to have high quality selected for mirrors to work at night.
