Adam's Sol Enhanced | Realism Filter for Sol 2.0 4.0.2

Your welcome Vanisch. Glad to hear it translates well across all PCs and Monitors alike. That is what I was aiming for.

If you want to join my discord, there is a community media channel where you can post any screenshots or images or videos you get.

Enjoy

I have no idea what you said but I love you and thank you for the 5 stars. Glad you like it :)

Excellent bro. Well done

That is interesting. Is it all the time? Even with clear blue sky?

Sounds like the Sol Config file is not working correctly as that is what gives the sky its colour. Try resetting to default, the sol config when you are in game. Then make sure my lua file is in "....ppfilter/solcustomconfigs" folder.

yep no problem, it is a test build. 1.2 is the main build currently. 1.3 is basically a separate mod reworked in a different way

I have made it so far on 1.6. I have not yet checked 1.6.1. Feel free if you would like to. I will get round to it in the next few days. Hopefully it will just work like normal as it is technically a simple mod

I'll check in the morning. This update is different. You install it through content manager so I am guessing you haven't deleted the original 1.2 ppfilter file in assettocorsa/system/cfg/ppfilters and then the file with the same name in ppfilters/solcustomconfig. If you haven't removed 1.2 before installing 1.3 then it's probably reading the wrong .Lua file.

For now feel free to carry on using 1.2 as this is technically a new mod. Let me know if you get 1.3 working properly by trying what I have suggested.

Thanks again walker

Thats great to hear Psycho and I know exactly what you are referring to.

There are many settings like "sky density" "sky haze" "sky smog" "distance haze" etc that all on top of each other create a very thick viewing which you would immediately look to lowering gamma and raising contrast to solve. Problem is that will only lose the balance of the colour and lighting. So I lowered each of the settings to a realistic point. I think they are useful settings for athmosphere and covering up distant textures and imperfections, but like you say, for a 1:1 representation of what we see in the real world, things are never that hazey.

As far as performance goes, thank you for the positive feed back. The great thing about getting colour and lighting correct is you can play on low settings and it will look much the same. My mod does not alter any of your video, graphical settings. So that is why you dont see a performance hit AND you should actually see a performance gain compared to the other top graphical mods you can get for assetto corsa.

Maybe soon, I will be at the top :D

Great to here cal. Really appreciate it.

And if it looks good already, dont stress over the calibration. I only put it there for people who come to the conclusion that their use of the mod does not get the same results as they see from my images.

:O ....... I am honestly speechless. Its great to have a response from some one who has a good fundamental basis for judging this sort of media, so to have impressed you, that is all I could have hoped for.

If you have read through the reviews so far, you will see the endless positivity and just when I thought it couldn't get any better, you say this :)

that is great to know. Because outside of making reshades, I have not done photography, videography etc I just calibrate my monitor to the best I can and then make mods to what I personally think is realistic. Realistic is so subjective. And colour representation is too. So I am very thankful for you and everyones overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Good question Hito,

As of yesterdays update, it does not over write anything, so that is my fault for not removing that information.

It also does not change any of your video settings. It only has 2 presets, 1 for Sol settings, and one for PPFilter. This means it will not affect any other filters or mods you use.

Any more help you need, just ask

Kind regards
Adam

Thank you Shark. Appreciate it

The VW camper van, next to the 4x4 Porsche is just an asset on a map which I cant remember the name of. But it is not driveable, sorry to break your heart :D

Wow, thank you Matt. I keep reading through these reviews and they are ridiculously positive which I did not expect to see already.

Glad you are enjoying it mate

Hey richard,

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you are enjoying the mod.

I agree, the trees in the game are very basic and it is hard to make them look good. When I view your picture, to me it looks perfect. The balance between the blue sky and green colour of the grass, trees and other foliage is, to me, just what I accomplished. But that is on my monitor, with my calibration settings which will differ with everyone's setups.

So what I think the issue might be is your monitor has a bit too much contrast or green tint in the RGB values. What I would recommend is you do a screen/monitor calibration to make sure what your screen is showing you is as close to what I made it. Click the link below and it takes about 5 minutes to follow the guide but after ward your monitor will be set up to accurately display what you are looking at.

If you wouldnt mind giving me some verbal feedback that would be much appreciated.

1. What is the performance like compared to no filter and compared to other popular filters
2. What has made it realistic in your eyes compared to other filters?
