Targa Horizon problem in PnG 3.2.

[Quadrofoglio Verde]

Latest GT233 Targa Updates Horizon files HORIZ0 to MARE11 are not showing on screen. The spaces they would occupy are a solid coloured a dark grey-brown monotone. Any assistance or suggestion gratefully welcome...
Thank you.

I set fog values too high, that's why you did not see the horizon, it is fixed in v1.8

 

[Quadrofoglio Verde]

Grazie mille GTR233... Great job you did on this!

 

[NEChris]

I've noticed too. I'll check if it's fixed in v1.8

 

[GTR233]

You need to set horizon display on very far in options menu for this track otherwise horizon will blink sometimes.

 

[Quadrofoglio Verde]

Thank you both for your replies. Still trying to rectify this

 

[NEChris]

It's still not fixed in GTR2_Targa_Florio_Optimized_v1_8

 

[GTR233]

What you show me is v1.5-1.7 and not 1.8 because I have totally change fog in 1.8 which is no more brown opaque but transparent clear grey as you can see on my screenshots.
Delete gamedata\locations\targa
And all userdata\log\hat\*targa.hat before installing new version.

 

[NEChris]

It IS 1.8 I showed here. Date TargaMap.gtr 22-6-2021, TargaSky.gtr 14-6-2021, RTarga.trk 24-6-2021.
And I did delete the Targa folder from gamedata\locations\ as well as all userdata\log\hat\*targa.hat before installing new the version.
So...?

Sorry but I am finding the same result as NEChris. Strangely this seems to happen with the game copies that I tend to make as back ups from my original installations. You have done an excellent job with the work you have done on this track, by the way. I actually walked and travelled over some of these roads in 2018.

Sorry that was not supposed to be a new thread starter!

 

[GTR233]

To be clear I set a dynamic fog (intensity varies along time lapse) in 1.8 whereas it was static in previous versions (always max). Stop engine and press "k" to accelerate time and you will see mountain appears/disappears.

Thanks for the explanation !

 

[Quadrofoglio Verde]

Thank you, I really like that idea. I would never have thought of that!

 

[GTR233]

Nevertheless if you prefer less fog then I can reduce it next time

That would be nice...

 

[GTR233]

I have reduced fog intensity in 1.9 but you must know that fog display also depends on track draw distance in menu, obvious if you make comparison with fog version :
- near distance doesn't work with fog...well you can run it but fog display is totally messed up
- normal distance will show max fog (very funny to drive when you don't see what is next turn)
- far distance shows intermediate fog (horizon flickers a lot for me at this setting distance)
- very far shows very little fog as fog area is very far

If you still don't see the targa mountain then read this https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/gtr2-targa-florio-optimized.165066/post-3404604

Thank you for all your help Paul, I am presently reinstalling your Current Anniversary Patch to start with a clean sheet. My current installation did not include this. Until then I will continue using my existing install but only using your Targa improvements to the point where I can retain the original horizon.
