Garry's PPFilter App, App Hub, NeckFx App and Chaser Cam App V0.12
Garry's PPFilter App, Garry's App Hub, Garry's NeckFx App and Garry's Chaser Cam App V0.12 can be downloaded at the bottom of this post.
Until now my apps mostly only worked with my own mods. This update opens them up to everyone else's too, so the PPFilter App works with any Pure PP-Filter and any creator's Spice effects, and the NeckFx and Chaser Cam apps work with any cockpit or chaser camera that has settings in CM. The skydome app now also works with any skydome set you have installed. The skydome app has a seperate post going into detail about all the new features and it can be found below:
Every app has also been completely redesigned and heavily optimised, and there's a new type of preset called setups which lets you upload all of your entire Assetto setup, which can consist of your CSP settings, your video settings, your Pure Config and Pure PP settings and your chosen presets in all of my apps. This means sharing and downloaded settings for Assetto has never been easier.
There are 5 sections and I go through them in order in this post. The first is everything the four apps share and then there's a section for each app.
1. Shared Features
Redesign
Every app has been redesigned. The tabs now sit in a dock along the bottom of the window, which shrinks down to icons when you scroll so it doesn't get in the way. The status card has been replaced by a status pill at the top which shows your loaded preset, and you can click it to see your notifications or save and load a preset from any tab. The Info tab has been replaced by a Home tab, which has things like your loaded preset, your recent presets, presets from the community and the tutorial.
Discover
Every app now has a Discover tab which replaces the old community preset window. It shows community presets and setups, and you can search, sort and filter them like before. Presets can be installed, or installed and applied in one click, and uploading your own is now done in 3 steps. You can also now update anything you've uploaded.
Setups
Setups are a new type of preset that sets all of my apps at once, so one setup can set your PPFilter preset, your skydome preset and your NeckFx or Chaser Cam camera together. A setup can also include your Pure Config, Pure PP, CSP and video settings, so you can share your whole graphics setup as one preset.
Before you apply a setup it shows you what it will change in each app and anything you're missing, and you can either apply it fully or add it on top of your current settings. Your current settings are saved first, so if you don't like it you can put them back from the status pill.
Optimisation
Every app has been heavily optimised, for example the PPFilter App's Settings tab used to take about 5 ms a frame and now takes about 0.2 ms when you're not using the app.
2. Garry's PPFilter App
Any PP-Filter
The General tab now shows every Pure PP-Filter you have installed and you can pick any of them to use through the app. The PP Filters tab then shows that filter's own settings, with the creator's logo and colours if they include them, and those settings save to your presets like everything else. This means presets, Discover, setups, GarryStellar and my Spice effects all work with any filter, not just GarryReal, and Spice effects that come with other creators' filters work with any filter too. If you decide to use those filters in the app please don't also use them in Pure PP while the PP-Filter app is the selected filter as some stuff might not fully work.
Shaders Tab
The new Shaders tab is where my Pure shaders go, starting with GarryStellar, which has its own post here:
Other Changes
Loading a preset now lets you pick which parts of it to load, like just the Spice effects or just the shaders. Per-Track Presets has also been rebuilt with search, a country filter and a preset for each track layout, and if CSP's PP-Filter isn't set to the app there's now a button to switch it in game.
3. Garry's App Hub
The Hub has the same redesign as the apps, with the Apps, Discover, Marketplace, You and Settings tabs in the dock.
Discover and You
The Hub's Discover tab shows presets and setups from every app, and it's where you upload your own setups. When you upload a setup it lists everything people need to install to use it.
The You tab has your presets, setups, favourites and everything you've installed from the community, and the name you share under is now one name for every app.
Marketplace
The marketplace now groups mods under each creator, and it also checks your Spice effects, shaders and skydome sets for updates, not just apps, filters and cameras.
4. Garry's NeckFx App
Any Cockpit Camera
Any cockpit camera that has settings in CM now has those settings in the Scripts tab, so you can change them in game and save them to your presets.
Camera Library
The camera browser is now a library down the left of the General tab with your favourites at the top, and you can now have up to 64 favourites, which replaces the quick switch bar.
Torque-Linked
Seat Position Presets have a new third mode called Torque-Linked, which blends between your presets with your throttle and brake, so braking moves you towards your braking preset and accelerating moves you towards your launch preset. It supports up to 12 presets and you can test it without driving with simulate torque.
5. Garry's Chaser Cam App
Like NeckFx, any chaser camera that has settings in CM now has them in the Scripts tab, and the camera position presets have the same Torque-Linked mode. My own Chaser Camera and Customisable DynaCam have both been moved over to this, and your old presets still work.
Using a different camera on view 2 is now a switch, which opens a card where you pick the camera for each view.
The app has also been renamed to Garry's Chaser Cam App, and your presets and settings are copied over from the old app folder the first time you open it.
How do I download?
The apps, extension and system folder from the zip MUST be installed manually to the Assetto Corsa root folder. Watch the videos below if you don't know where your root folder is or how to install.

gang this made my game lag so much installing all those apps
How did you install them?
Wow, what a spectacular job. Can't imagine the amount of hours needed to put all this together. Congrats and thank you, man
Quick question: An update was posted on Discord, and I already installed it. Is this the same update, or is it a different one? Should I install this one again? I'd also like to know the correct way to update it. Is the best method simply to drag and drop the folders into the "assettocorsa" folder and overwrite the existing files?
I would install it again I've made some changes to the apps. And yes drag and dropping into the root folder is the best way of installing.
