Requirements
- .NET Framework 4.5
- Visual C++ Redistributable 2013 (x86)
- Some free place (at least ≈0.5GB, just for in case)
- DirectX 11 for custom showroom
Notes
- If you don't like generated previews, remember, you can always change PP filter, make them brighter or more saturated. I've just tried to match Kunos style.
- Turns out camera position depends on aspect ratio of game resolution. Built-in values work for 16:9. If you know what camera position/lookat values are needed for other aspect ratios, please, share them.
- Please don't unpack carsmgr.exe in folders like C:\Program Files, it won't be able to auto-update itself.
- If new ambient shadows are not appropriate, you always could restore original from the trash bin.
- If after practice in app default launcher doesn't work anymore, just start practice one more time. Or, if size of AssettoCorsa.exe is ≈10KB and there is AssettoCorsa.exe~at_bak nearby, replace AssettoCorsa.exe with AssettoCorsa.exe~at_bak. It's a long story.
- This app is open-source, and you can do with the source whatever you want, but I highly recommend to write me first – it's written with Js-Ext, and I can't say it's well documented.
- Turns out there are a lot of features people don't know about. Sadly, my English isn't good enough, so i'd really appreciate it if somebody could help me with some documentation.

Sadly, I can’t add new features (such as temporary auto-fixing video.ini settings or 4k-resolution) of Auto-Update Previews code into Cars Manager (due to thin and very unstable bridge between main JS-code and seriously changed AcTools.dll), so at the moment you have to enable them manually.
New algorithm works in Content Manager, but managing part isn't finished yet, so it isn't available by default in Lite mode.
