I'm currently working on the manuals. Beta 3 was fixing the last big bugs, so its pretty stable and good to use. The beta 3 install package already contains the new Sol_config app and Sol Planner app manuals.
Sol Planner is the new dynamic weather creation app. It uses the new shared memory communication, which realizes a continuos weather progression.
Sol 2.1 contains also rain sounds. As long as CSP is not ready, those sounds are provided by Sol (later they are included in CSP). For now the wiper sounds are not working, because there is no interface yet, to get the wiper's position.

Thanks for the update Peter. The new planner is great!!
Hi Peter. Great update and the new Sol Planner App is awesome. I have a question: if you choose heavy rain on daytime, the headlights will make the rain very very bright so it's harder to see with headlights on than off . Any way to change this? https://imgur.com/X56YwKO
Hey Peter, thank you very much for your work, I can see that different SOL config settings match best for different kinds of weather settings, will it be or maybe is it possible to have settings per weather type changed smoothly when the weather changes?
Yes, its called "custom config". A custom config is a script, which will be loaded with a ppfilter. Just look in assettocorsa/system/cfg/ppfilters/sol_custom_configs. If a script has the same name like a ppfilter it will be loaded with the filter. There is also a file called "custom config example V2.lua". Its a file where nearly all things are documented. To have different settings for different weather, you could use weather specific variables: You need to add such variable with: cc__add_weather_variable("XYZ", 1) and define its default with this function. Then you can set it for different weather: cc__set_weather_variable("XYZ", "Windy", 2) cc__set_weather_variable("XYZ", "NoClouds", 10) cc__set_weather_variable("XYZ", "Fog", 0) In the update function you can retrieve its value dependent on the weather: local xyz = cc__get_weather_variable("XYZ") Its interpolated with weather transitions. For more information about custom configs look inside the Sol 2.1 Custom Config changes.pdf (in the install package) and here: https://cspsol.miraheze.org/wiki/Sol_custom_config
Hi Peter, many thanks for your increasingly excellent work. On the other hand I have a small question, in the future will it be possible to have the possibility of fitting rain tires on all cars? the rain is wonderful but for the moment there are too few cars with the rain tire option. thank you in advance for your reply. cordially
That's the CSP physics department. I'm not realy involved in that. But imo that's the goal, to have all cars with working rain physics.
Great thanks Peter and apologies for missing the sol planner manual, would’ve answered my question!
Great work!! Thanks as always!
fantastic Peter, really like the new Sol Planner app. should this be selected as the controller script in weather fx? i notice it turns red when you do so wasn't sure if that meant something was wrong. and for the sol weather app, do you suggest leaving that enabled at the same time or should it be disabled now?
For Sol Planner you need to select "Sol 2.1" weather controller. The install package contains a manual of Sol Planner. There you get nearly all information. You can leave the other apps activated. Sol Weather app is allways needed for debug reports and a better control of time and date. You don't need Sol Plan Selector app, this will not work with Sol Planner app.
Hey thank you Peter! Since the last CSP and Sol Alpha patch, things have been going very well for me. I have a little question ... Are there any plans that one day we might be able to use real-time weather data for the routes.
That is planed for the not so far future...
Wow thank you. The combination of SOL and CSP make AC still so awesome. Appreciate your effort.
Thanks Peter
