Thanks for all the tutorials! I can already feel that this music will be nostalgic for me

[@alwaysonboost]

Hahah glad you liked them. I thought about changing the music but it's the best free one I can find, the rest don't really match the videos as well.

[@3dnebandim]

[@dark.flower.]

You're welcome and thanks for the sub! Lmk if there's any vids you'd like to see.

[@anxthertrxsh2857]

Thank you!

[@ihatemi2487]

[@OGXSTREET]

nice vid man

[@alwaysonboost]

Thanks!

[@icedstar]

Good to see you using one of my renders as background, glad you like my work!

[@alwaysonboost]

It's awesome! I really liked the neon retro 80s look it has with the purple/pink combination. I'll link your site in a few vids as a thank you in case anyone else wants the wallpaper.

[@icedstar]

@@alwaysonboost awesome, thanks 👍

[@Rlaxox]

Is there a wallpaper engine equivalent of this, man that would be great.

[@kameke1207]

thanks for the tutorial! but maybe canyou give name of this map?

[@marcel3463]

Hey, i downloaded this yesterday and when I click on the" plan selector" it just says [ ] Enable dynamic weather: Clouds, windy etc. Doesn't look like yours...?

[@srrto.cruzz9]

Thanks for the tutorial ! What is your camera mod?

[@alwaysonboost]

It's KirbyCam. I have a vid on it, check it out in my channel :) It's like a few vids before this one.

[@ryuen128]

nice tutorial, do you know how to reduce water splashes in the wheels when the car is driving in the rain?

[@alwaysonboost]

Reduce rain amount and standing water, only way. But that'll also affect how much water there is on track. As far as droplets on the chase cam, that's the only thing you can change.

[@shawnforbes6495]

I have copied your setting and i love them. But im finding sometimes when i go into a season, its not putting out the correct amount and its patchy again same in some of my replays. Why is this, when it works its perfect.

[@gozzyboy1989]

we need more smoke ! MORRREEEEEEE

[@loudspeakerrecords]

When I enter in the game in SOL plan selector, it says "SOL 2 implementation active, please use SOL planner app!". So what's going on here? I have SOL 2.2.9.

[@HxtFire]

any clue why in replay the smoke doesnt look anything like when im in game? its barely even smoking on replays

[@rainalex3034]

I disabled smoke in asstetto corsa video setting , only use the new smoke in csp particles FX , the result is same .

[@Agoston-vx1wt]

i want this camere settings

[@spleeny5868]

i dont find the sol plan selector app.

[@RabbitConfirmed]

2:59 the "sol plan collector" or even "sol weather" is not showing for me

[@sadge0]

for whoever else who don't understand why: YOU DON'T HAVE SOL INSTALLED. Skip this step, or install SOL, but it will not make the smoke better. It's EXTRA HEATING, not heating in general, if you leave it on 0, it will make smoke appear realistically instead of almost instantly like he showed in the video. It even says that in the setting description lmao: "for more arcade-like and less accurate smoke"

[@santinoeli71506]

How do I get Sol Planner?

[@Crashdummie]

Nice tuto bro, where can i find that R35 ?

[@alwaysonboost]

Thanks! The R35 is part of the VDC Public Drift Pack 3.0, you can find it here: www.vosan.co/driftcarpacks/vdc-public-car-pack-3-0/ However that particular skin is my custom made from when I competed in VDC.

[@lindvi0r]

I have adjusted my smoke in CM but is there a Pure smoke adjustment too in game?

[@scottyk4865]

I’m wondering the same thing

[@sebastianurbanovaldevenito5485]

Updated version? That app doesn't appear anymore

[@Pepe_LeMac]

Hey bro any idea as to why I don't get ANY tyre smoke whatsoever ? I 100% have all my smoke settings applied and it still doesn't show ? (I play in VR, havnt tried it in non VR) but yeah any ideas ?

[@Pepe_LeMac]

So just an update, I do get tyre smoke now but I need to warm the tyres up first. Usually after letting it spin on the brake for 10-15 seconds it starts to smoke up more often and thicker every time after that

[@lucasschutz9930]

my sol plan selector adjust only the weather, nothing about smoke wtf

[@wklrd]

How do you record your videos? When i try to record with OBS, Radeon recording its always very pixelated and i dont know how to save a clip from assetto corsa clipping thing Do you mind giving me a hand?

[@alwaysonboost]

For most videos I use Nvidia GeForce experience, the OBS is mainly used just to record the display when I show things in Content Manager. if you're on Radeon you won't have that sadly. Using OBS, make sure you don't use CBR in rate control instead of VBR or CQP (check the settings in Settings->Output->Recording. That will get rid of the pixelization since CBR is meant for streaming. If you use VBR set bitrate to something decent like 20,000 or even way more Mbps. Hope that helps!

[@wklrd]

@@alwaysonboost Thanks a lot for the help, it really improved the pixles!

[@AbideinChristFully]

In the in-game menu I didn't have the SOL options, I assume since I'm using PURE.

[@alwaysonboost]

No, you just need to enable it from Apps in CM.

[@loudspeakerrecords]

How? I've tried but can't see it during the game. At least from the CM menu, seems activated Settings > assetto corsa > Python apps > Select SOL Planner@@alwaysonboost

[@greymussh5939]

can i turn on smoke while raining somehow? when i turn on rain, tyres does not make smoke anymore

[@alwaysonboost]

Not really, it was made that way to be as real as possible. If you reduce the amount of rain and water on track, it'll smoke up slightly after a bit but not too much.

[@Blazephase7]

hey whats ur camera setting please and thanks

[@alwaysonboost]

I have a separate video for that, check it out.

[@samw9490]

I dont have the sol plan selector app

[@alwaysonboost]

Well do you have SOL installed? If you do, enable SOL plan selector first from Apps in Content Manager.

[@boomzam4648]

bru i still have no smoke

[@Shavit3]

disabled and still got smoke somehow

[@Sebastian_Domaradzki]

i see smoke through objects and when in first person, how do i fix this?

[@alwaysonboost]

Are you by any chance using Reshade? Reshade does that which is why I hate using it.

[@Sebastian_Domaradzki]

@@alwaysonboost nope im not.

[@alwaysonboost]

@@Sebastian_Domaradzki Okay try this. Go to Particles FX and under New Smoke and Dust, enable Clip by Glass. That should remove the smoke.
