assume it costs fps which is a fine balancing act using vr on an average pc, will give it a go though

Don't know about VR but I run almost everything at max on an old i7 2600k @4.2ghz with a GTX 970 on standard clocks, keeping most of the time 60fps.

@Chris Kennedy Just checked UV mapping, also mirrors.ini, there's nothing wrong with it

Chris Kennedy · Apr 12, 2020

Thanks so much for checking! Really strange, just tried again with exact same settings and it seems fine, can no longer see the grandstand in the right hand mirror at mugello hotlap spawn (as per my screenshot), really strange. If i enable real mirrors, now the grandstand does appear in the rhs mirror... no idea whats going on! either way, must just be CSP weirdness... initial reaction with the VT and real mirrors was that the angle needs tuning, as half of the wing mirrors are filled with the cars body, unless i move my head around, making them impractical for driving. assume that will be the case with lots of cars needing the parameters tuned, doubt anyone is too excited to do that!

I guess that's where the term "real" comes from, right? if you go ahead in real life and drive different cars for the first time, you'll have to adjust the mirrors to your liking before driving. The app allows you to do that, so I don't see any issue there.

sure, just not very practical in a game that has 100's of cars!

You only drive one at a time, and it only takes a few seconds, once.

I can't believe this...

Now my work needs to be approved by a moderator to be shared here? Do we need more control over our lives? I THINK NOT.

Thats a shame, something defifnitely needed to be done to curb all the garbage rip mods getting uploaded recently, but a huge warning to say "DONT UPLOAD CONTENT RIPPED FROM OTHER GAMES/WORK WHICH IS NOT YOUR OWN" would have probably been a good start, crazy that there was no warning at al

Not only that, but now I feel like an idiot for having my Premium membership just renewed. After all, I'm being treated like another kid who uploads crap and needs to be "moderated".

There should be an exception for those of us who actually contribute to the site with decent content, and support it by paying a Premium account.

Dozens of fake mods containing viruses were uploaded yesterday in what looked like a targeted attack. I imagine moderation of new uploads is to filter those.

Helzephyr · Apr 16, 2020

While I'm sure the above stated is the reason (at least that's what immediately came to mind),
they should have excluded those simply updating previous mods, or if there was not
time to implement such a thing, at least include an apology and/or explanation in the message.

Back on topic though, I can't wait to try out this update! Amazing work as always!

yeah there was a lot of virus mods uploaded yesterday

This new system is annoying though.

Hello
I can't run Diablo VT in showroom, I downloaded the archive two times, unpacked it with WinRAR and 7zip... same effect.
Car works well in game but preview in showroom is impossible. Porsches work proper... and mod in ver 1.4 works well too.
I don't use ContentManager...
Someone else has the same thing?

EDIT: Okay it's not working only on some custom showroom's... there were no questions!

Thanks for the great, great mods A3DR

EDIT2: Hmmm... it's working only in "Hangar" showroom and doesn't work on other stock showroom's.
I checked the directory/files tree in mod... and I noticed that the "diabloVT_LODB.kn5", "diabloVT_LODC.kn5", "diabloVT_LODD.kn5" files are missing but I don't know if they are necessary for showroom?

Yes I've experienced a similar issue when using the stock showroom on the VT... and then it happened with the Jota and the VT was fine, and back again... so it was a weird thing. I'm not sure if the LOD files should matter, I updated the lod.ini anyway so, who knows.

I posted this in the update, so to quote myself:

Tested and working with CM 0.8.2096.36316 and CSP 0.1.46.
Vanilla AC NOT recommended.

Use Content Manager instead.

aphidgod · Apr 20, 2020

And I couldn't reproduce the problem at all, even with the exact same files that were broken on Dan's end.

Hello guys, great mod, thanks!

I deleted the old cars and installed the update manually but now the Ferrari has different sounds as I changed them with content manager the last time. Does anyone know how to get the mod sounds back? As i said this is a fresh install of the latest update, but content manager seems to remember that I swapped the sounds a while ago.
