Misc Sol 2.2.9

[rd.king]

Somehow I've lost headlights on my car. Tried different cars and tracks, only AI have headlights on.

did you try the light switch

 

[Slowdive]

Does that mean that it is used alongside gbW or has everything included in it?

You don't need GBW.

Wasn't it auto before. And yeah, tried L which is default, nothing.

 

[Jayenn]

Yeah, right now you need to manually turn them on, even when you start a race at night. It's being worked on.

Thanks @Jayenn
Another weird thing, it only recognizes wheel mapped button, not keyboard shortcut, even that "combine with keyboard" is checked.

 

[BCJM76]

You guys are wizards.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

 

[UpfrontEric]

Unfortunately it won't work. Doesn't matter which Sol I use there is just a bland sky with no clouds at all. Am I missing something here?

I'm in the same boat Fabian.

 

[SupremeTaco]

You don't need GBW.

Thank you.

 

[Jayenn]

I'm in the same boat Fabian.

Follow the manual step by step. You absolutely need the latest shaders patch version propperly installed. To check if you have the right version installed propperly, check the version number on the new loading screen in the bottom right of the screen. This is what it needs to say:

Edit: Or any later version of course, because another update just came out minutes ago.

For those with the bland untextured sky issue, I had success resolving this problem by manually installing the custom shaders patch preview 41. I.e. don't install via content manager, but unzip the preview41 zip and copy dwrite.dll, extension folder, content folder, apps folder into your AC root folder. Good luck!

I'm having an issue where my clock doesn't seem to be right. I set the track to Mugello, time to 1300 (1pm) , and date to July 4th (merica!) but once the track loads, clock seems to be at 1800 (6pm) and its dark outside. Am I doing something wrong, or am I misunderstanding something?

Great, latest shaders update fixed auto lights, you need to enable it in Weather FX settings.
Seems like performance, esp. at night, is down, altough it does look gorgeous, stars, moon, moonlit clouds.
Big thanks to everyone involved.

 

[Gelly916]

Also, is there a way to race without Sol? Like can I just disable my shaders light patch, and choose a weather that is not part of the sol mod? Basically I am asking if there is a simple way to play as if I never downloaded Sol?

I'm having one other issue where the tracks seem to create a winter theme to them if I'm racing in winter months. Is this suppose to happen?

Hoping that you can iron out all the kinks in this mod, because your work is great and totally transforms the game!

@Ivan Gabrovec
its a track config thing, look for ALWAYS_ON as CONDITION, this must be used for all the light-configs, for what you want; - some of them are easy to change through "assettocorsa\extension\config\tracks\common\conditions.ini" - others have their own conditions

@Gelly916
-time setting seems a bit buggy for now
-sure use any other weather you like
-yes, winter at winter timerrr, that what it's all about

There's been a shader patch update to preview 42 to fix a few things:

I tried it and...this is a brand new game. You bring us what everybody really hoped for... With the rift it's just fantastic! Thank you sir, for your hard work!

There's just one small issue which bothers me, perhaps other VR users can confirm/help me here:
as soon as a later daytime (around 19-20 upwards) arrives the screen mirroring stops respectively the screen becomes completely black. Inside the Oculus everthing is fine but when I try to record gameplay this issue is annoying.

@Peter Boese
Do you have an idea what could be the reason?

 

[MiljuDelem]

same here Fabian
