The fantastic BMW 320i by @Patrik Marek is still lacking a quality interior and the option to race these cars in the rain (visually). I had already made the car rain compatible for my personal use but lately someone reminded me and asked if I could send them a copy.
I did not really want to send my amended kn5 file so I started to strip away the parts needed to make the mod rain compatible by injecting a new kn5 with the needed parts. Somewhere along the line I overwrote my work with the original car and lost what I had done, so I have re-created what I did now purely as an addon. Because of this I have not had a lot of time to test this one out, although everything seems to work as it should and racing this car in the rain should now be possible for everyone (at least visually).
Basically not a lot has been done to get it to this state. New wipers have been imported and animated. External Glass has been duplicated and flipped to create an internal mesh with the proper shader. The window banner has also been duplicated and flipped and then inserted into the cockpit_hr. I did not go the extra mile to improve the banner or anything (gaps) as the whole of the car needs internally updating and I really hope one day that Patrik finally gets around to doing this as I really love his cars and this era!
Installation:
Copy the folder into your ..\assettocorsa\content\ folder and it should ask you to overwrite one file, say yes.
The file that will be overwritten is the ext_config.ini file, but I have also made a backup of the original in case you would like to remove the addon completely in the future, simply remove said file from the extension folder and then rename "ext_config_original.ini" to "ext_config.ini", then delete rain_addon.kn5 and car_wiper.anim to get back to the original state.
If you have any problem installing the addon please send me a message or start a discussion and I will be more than happy to help.
