You need to change the video to public, unless your aim was to not show the video that is.

Thanks, brain freeze moment. I had it set to Private while I was waiting for the HD version to finish processing and never changed it back. Cheers!

Awesome! Which server was that? Interested to join one day when possible. Started online racing 2 weeks ago on LAC, most fun I ever had since playing computer games.

PS: I'm also driving in VR and especially love the interior of the Paganis. The Huayra with its glass roof particularly!

After 5 days of installing, uninstalling and reinstalling from different website links and using content manager as well as the game file i can not get content manager to recognize that this download file contains a track, any help would be apreciated

5 days would have been plenty of time to watch/read some tutorials to learn the basics of AC modding. Might consider doing that now. The download on Racedepartment is perfectly functional, and you don't even need to use CM to install it.

see few hints here :

Is it a server he runs on the same computer he plays? I know that the server doesn't need all the files. The surfaces are needed to insure no ''cheating'' with values like road grip for example. And layout ini files are needed as well. The rest like kn5 could be skipped. But that only makes...

What about PCH linked to LA Canyons?

And then a ferry boat to go to @Ben O'Bro's island!

Is it possible to set different spawn points when hosting my server? I'm playing with a few friends that are newer to the game so they keep falling off the cliffs and we have to start over, resulting in us not getting much further than the first gate in freeroam. If anyone has other suggestions to get around this, that would be cool.

Training and most importantly not driving like lunatics?

Spawn position is incremental, first player will be in position 0, second in 1 etc. You can't select it

If anyone is using a VR headset and finds the colours are a bit washed out then check out my post https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/vr-app-to-increase-colour-saturation-ingame.202933/ for an app to let you increase colour saturation, brightness and contrast while ingame

Sticking to one lane helped me tremendously when I started driving on LAC. It forces restraint and helps you memorize the track faster, or at least it did for me.

Once you're confident, you're ready to take advantage of the full width of the road, and having the track memorized in one lane is a huge advantage, it's like growing wings!

In short, the "one lane slow cruise" is a good way to avoid the frustration of constant returns to the pit.

The just released preview build for Custom Shaders Patch (0.1.75-preview1) has done amazing things for the two-way traffic on LA Canyons. They spawn randomly in either directions so you no longer have to drive on the oppsite side of the road to get oncoming traffic. Also the spawned cars have individual characters so they drive at different speeds and keep different spacing between themselves. This all adds up to much more realistic traffic. You need to subscribe to x4fab's Patreon page (costs me 1 GBP) to get the latest CSP preview and the latest update to Content Manager.

@Phoenix77 Feel free to use this video in the description or wherever you like as you and all the others who helped build this are legends!

I love the motorbikes on two way traffic, they can be total nutters, just like I was in my youth. There's a dead one around 19 mins in. I didn't stop to help him either

Are they private? I remember maybe a year ago someone on SRP was showing they were working on something similar but never followed up.

There's some extra "traffic pack" on their discord, maybe it's in there.

bongady · May 14, 2021

Yeah, I think I got the traffic pack off their discord. I had to shrink the collision kn5 file as it was as large as a car so you would keep hitting them even when they were a metre away. I feel I got it just right, you can get within a few cms up their arse before hitting them and sideways the same. Let me know if you want a copy of the file. It causes an error message to pop up on the loading screen which can just be ignored.

Hitting a bike head on is more scary than a car as the bike flips over and the rider crashes into the windscreen just like real life.
