Changelog 2.1.4:

added 20 new 'mixed' cloud textures

reorganized folders and file locations
Few but important changes come with this update. For starters, I have been compiling my own set of real cloud resources from photographs of my local sky--a time consuming process to turn them into game-worthy cloud files--to increase realism and immersion within Assetto Corsa, and to suit the new 1.5 circuit improvements! I've also reorganized the mod for ease of use, re-included "night" mode, "rain" track grip, etc.
In addition, I've begun work on a new "weather resource" file with mod weathers that suit the graphical changes of AC 1.4. The offerings aren't as extensive as my old pre-1.4 weather resources, but expansion of this section is planned
Changelog:
fixed Clear sky inconsistency
fixed A1 Clear multi-player issue
removed A1 Night filter
removed Sundown
improved Clear daytime sky color

improved A1 photo filter
improved mod organization

The mod has been reorganized according to cloud type--all you have to do is select the kind of cloud style you would like to see in your sky, and open the respective folder! Inside are all the filters, 7 weathers, and cloud textures you will need. Remember to delete Kunos clouds!

Hello devoted fans, Mr. Alpem 1.4 is out!

added Storm Front SPA

added Sunny Clear Forest
added sunlight reflections to all cloud and night modes
improved Storm Silverstone
improved all Sunny colorCurves levels
improved moon levels
improved Humid values

complete mod overhaul
Welcome to Mr. Alpem, the More Realistic And Lifelike Post-processing Effects Mod! For version 1.4, Mr. Alpem is offered in
2 versions: "basic" mod for ease of use with 4 filters, AC original 10 clouds, and 9 weather modes all of which are
direct replacements for Kunos weathers; & "full mod" with 10 filters, 35 clouds, and 33 weather modes and 9 corresponding
game files.
INSTALLING BASIC MODE:
--just drop all files into their respective destinations, making sure to back up your original files as you go
INSTALLING FULL MOD MODE:
--for the hard core fan, select some or all of the cloud textures you want to use, add the filters as in basic mode, but with weather:
1. Locate the 9 file destinations and put them in your Kunos "weather" destination
2. open the 5 files titled by their weather variations, and select which cloudy, sunny, fog, etc. suits you best using the correspond-
ing picture as a reference
3. place each weather of your choice in 1 of the 9 .ini file destinations
For 1.3, I am splitting the mod into two sections:
1. 9 weather files for the game to read during races and online play
2. A resource file from which you choose choose the clouds and weathers you want to use for the 9 files.
This way, you can have a clutter-free game interface without 31 weathers clogging your slider bar, but you still have a massive resource bin from which to customize your own weather the way you like it to a specific location or the kind of weather that comes through your city. You may have bluish thunderstorms instead of gray; I've provided greenish, reddish, bluish, and greyish storms to suit all kinds of weather. You may have pollution in your sky, or a deeper or lighter sunny sky in your area; I've provided pollution and sunny options to help you customize weather that way.
With this "modding within a mod" I provide you the user, I hope to both simplify Mr. Alpem and give you the most control over what you see in the game. I think this resource option is better than me throwing 7 weather modes at you with no opportunity to customize
the Version 1.3 changelog is as follows:
added Storm Front D
added Storm Front E
added Storm Front Vallelunga
added Sunny HDR Clouds Light
added Sunny HDR Clouds Most
added Sunny HDR Humid
improved Twilight Evening
improved smog distance and blend of Pollution
improved clouds and fog in Storm Silverstone
improved cloud optimizations in sunny modes
added 35 original cloud textures
added resource options
added numbered weather folders
added new filters
improved all filter appearances
improved fps rates of filters to now give 2 additional fps
improved contrast and brightness levels more to RL
renamed all filters for convenience in pairing with weather modes
placed Alpem realism filters first for convenience
Enjoy! I hope the mod is simpler to use and helps you get the look you want for the game!
1.2.2 changelog:
added sunny rich hdr clear
added optional headlight file for twilight driving
changed pollution clouds cloud number
optimized SPA fog cloud skybox levels
changed sunny mid clouds cloud number
optimized sunny rich hdr cloud levels
optimized sunny light clouds
bugfixed cloud textures (further bugfixing in the works)
This update brings AC 1.2.5 compatibility. I have added experimental brighter filter values after several user requests. If the brighter values are unsatisfactory, filters will be reverted to older values. Weather modes have been improved as well. See Changelog in readme instruction file included for a full list of changes
Presenting Mr. Alpem 1.2 ready for Assetto Corsa changelog 1.2.4! The new graphics feature 7 new weather modes including 3 special dawn, storm, and night modes for Nurburgring Nordschleife to capture the severe rainy and foggy conditions there 24 hours a day! See the OP on the front page to view the different new weather modes.
All cloud textures have been remapped and redone, adding 13 additional cloud textures to AC's 10 provided resources. The sky will look more realistic than ever with the new patterns, ensuring greater cloud variation and some cool sights...that might just distract you from driving!
Mr. Alpem has been designed to preserve your original AC weather modes, so you may race in MP without getting the annoying mod weather bug. Just install Mr. Alpem's files without worry of having to back up your original files!
Enjoy friends!
Complete overhaul of the mod. Introducing 17 weather modes, more on the way! Featured new are a special fog for Silverstone, new night modes, reworked "Clouds Heavy," and others.

I've included some additional cloud textures which I added to the Kunos samples to increase the variation in the sky. Not all are the best, but they make the sky a little less boringYou do not have to back up original files, as they do not replace the provided Kunos files.
