Feb 18, 2019 - Shader / Sol Multiplayer test (1 Viewer)

[Noztra]

Hi Guys.

Since we postponed the last race of the season a week, we thought it would be a good idea to do a "test" event where we test out shader / sol and see how day/night racing works in AC.

We are gonna practice / qualify / race at normal AC time.

You don't need to sign up, but just show up if you wanna test.

Class: GT1 (https://revolutionsimracing.com/resources/rss1-gt1.309/)
Track: Spa (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ac-spa-40-gridslots.12949/)

Date: Monday, 18th February 2019
19:00 UTC - Optional Practice
19:25 UTC - Server Reboot
19:30 UTC - Driver Briefing (Mandatory)
20:00 UTC - Qualifying
20:30 UTC - Race (1h race with 24h day/night cycle)

What you need to download to get it working is the shader patch and sol mod:
Shader patch: https://mega.nz/#!e8BECIxS!kud5Z_VJ8WIoZHALMujk2xmpYAxD7fUfzqZKQ1aqlf8
Sol mod: http://www.mediafire.com/file/crrvty88d5ukdyr/Sol__1_1+beta+6.zip

Manual how to install:

Edit: If people need help with installing shader / sol ill be on TS 1 hour before practice start.

[Mr AlcoN]

Am in for sure!
Actually tested this already and it is awesome! Just have waited for the community to snap this up and now you do, endurance will be so fun in this!

This cars are awesome (just tried them) and that way I am more sad that I can't join tomorrow, I already arranged something else.

People will also need Content Manager get it working.

Wow what an awesome event!
Everything worked almost flawlessly, which is kind of unbelieveable to me!
What a time to be an AC simracer
Thanks to @Noztra and @Ricardo Macieira for setting up the event, much appreciated!!

Little impression of what happened

fantastic event, I think the SOL and the Visual FX mods don't have any flaws. the "Bug" that the practice/quali and race starts at the same time, I don!t care. It is like that usually anyway as you dont have all 3 events in 1 day after each other.

I think I need to send some money to those guys....

 

[Noztra]

Great event and amazing experience.

NIce to see that it worked without any major problems. It really does transforms AC to something amazing. Even in normal daylight its a different experience because of the sun rays blinding you. Performance wise I had the same / similar performance as without using shader / sol.

Some really good racing in the last couple of laps between @Battenberg and @Mazy CZ for P1 and between @Exited and @EVR Morvic for P3.

Thank for showing up and testing @Yammie916, @Angel, @Dangerous Gianetta, @Daz Oz, @Mazy CZ, @Exited, @Ricardo Macieira, @David Siska and @Battenberg. Next test will be when season 1 is done and hopefully more people show up.

Next time we should try out dynamic weather where you can make it change weather during the race.

 

[Dangerous Gianetta]

Had also no performance issues in VR, smooth 45fps with couple of nice dips into 90fps when there were less cars in sight.
Even more amazing because I ran close to max settings in AA, AF and PP with Smart Mirrors, Weather FX and Sol active and on top of that I recorded my POV
Amazing how good this is performance wise!

Really looking forward to the next test races with dynamic weather, maybe a "12h" race with cloudy nights, fog in the morning and then clouds fading and the sun comes

Really amazing battle with @EVR Morvic , was a hell lot of fun! Will upload my PoV later

 

[Morvic]

Thanks for this race guys, not only a test for sol, but some great battles too.

Funny thing is that, I thought to myself that day - "I need a race that will remind me how great close racing can be" and it just did that yesterday. @Exited I'll get my revenge, and I'm looking forward to your POV

Thanks for organizing this @Ricardo Macieira @Noztra

So weather plans are not yet available for multiplayer. Only one "slot" weather can be used atm.

Damn... Then multiclass 12h race with longer sunset/sunrise and night driving

Once I got my headlights working (my fault, I hadn't activated the lighting fx shader), I had a great time! Very impressed with SOL's negligible performance impact, and how much it added to the experience. I have to say the combo was great too, just like GTR! The old GT1 cars provided a good challenge, and some great battles, although maybe the Ferrari was a bit OP. Adding 'competition cautions' made for a fun addition as well. Congrats to @Mazy CZ for his great drive, your persistence got the better of me as I bottled it under pressure

Here's my vid:

Note: Notice how the game window starts to blink during dark conditions, but not during daytime Starts 42:03 remaining, stops 11:59 remaining.

Just a small sample video from last night.
