Hello, I want to thank you my patreons, for all that support you give me!!! I just like to show you some view in the future of AC/CSP -> Sol. In the last weeks we discussed some things in the community. There are some things, which are not right at the moment. Its a basic thing, which influences all

Version 1.1 of the filter added a better distant, sun and sky look. Also the overall brightness was tweaked. The solHDR__PEAK_BRIGHTNESS v

Hello, I proudly present you the Sol HDR filter. This is a well balanced filter to use HDR color range. It will stay Sol patreon exclusive, i will update it over the time. Inside the zip is an install guide. Please read it! There are some important settings to make, to run HDR with AC/CSP. For the f

Hello my dear patrons, Here is Sol 2.1.3. This version solves many problems with Sol Planner in combination of non-usual CM settings. Also i changed Sol's PPFilter files. A bug was reported, where the fps was lowered dramatically on some systems. Also i changed a little thing with resetting PPFilter

I proudly present you Sol 2.1. After 5 month of work, a nice collection of new features was added to Sol.

Sol 2.1 will be soon released! You need at least CSP 1.69 Please use uninstall.bat before installing Sol 2.1 Install it manually by copying the 4 folders apps, content, extension and system to AC root folder (AC's steam install folder) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1osPwFizDkAFYjRHz0iVrhJUhm2LN4Kk

With the last alphas i did more and more bugfixes and improvements. With alpha 24 i integrated the rain sounds i did in summer 2020. I hoped they will be soon available in CSP, but the development of rainFX takes longer than we thought. So i added them to use them with Sol only until CSP is ready. Y

Over the last alpha versions of Sol 2.1 i was able to do many optimizations and Sol 2.1 runs better than before. With alpha 15 i also done an improvement with 2d clouds. For people with weak hardware or driving in VR, fps is the most important point. "2d clouds" is actually the fastest clouds render

In the last weeks i reworked many parts of Sol. I was on the hunt for bugs and possible optimizations. Many redundant calls could be removed and often called functions were shortened. The result is a much better running Sol, which gives you 20-30% more fps in comparison to Sol 2.0.2. AC is very CPU

With some more optimizations, Sol 2.1 runs very well. I overlooked the complete code and made some important changes to the clouds generation. In CSP 1.72 release version, a new render stats app will come. I already used it to made the comparison. The things are greatly separated there. Sol alpha 9

Sorry for being so quiet here. I'm very busy with Sol 2.1 development. Hi, I hope all of you had a good start in the new year! I just recently updated Sol 2.0 on Racedepartment. I fixed some bugs and i was able to remove a little "handbrake". So the current version Sol 2.0.2 has a better performance

Today i was able to make a filter which give the cloud

I'm working on some further 3d clouds functions. Atm clouds are positioned in a fixed grid, but with little random variances in position, size and look. For the first time i integrated a pattern based positioning of 3d clouds. With it i can determine, how clouds are created in a small sqare. I made

Sol 2.0 beta 8 is published. With this version i reintegrate the 2d clouds and the "base" 3d clouds. Those different cloud render methods are selectable in sol_config app page 6. With this i cancel the distribution and further support of Sol 1.5.x. Sol 2.0 now has all cloud render methods with the b

Hopefully the last version before Sol 2.0 release. I fixed some bugs with weather transitions and i was able to improve the starmap textures. So it looks much cleaner. Also the stars brightness is adapted to the new night presets. http://www.mediafire.com/file/lst2gd19kw1kbfr/Sol_2.0_RC3_%252B_1.5.7

Some side-by-side comparison of Vanilla AC, Sol and the Base implementation. CSP was running for all of the tests. Just to show that, besides of fps fluctuations caused by the different AI positions, the fps is nearly the same in all tests. So it was a proof of the main influences of weatherFX and t
