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.

Wow what an awesome event!
Everything worked almost flawlessly, which is kind of unbelieveable to me!
What a time to be an AC simracer :D
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....

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. :)

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 :p
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 :p

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 :D

Thanks for organizing this @Ricardo Macieira @Noztra

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

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 :p

Here's my vid:

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