With Pure 0.19x it will be possible to live edit the track adaption. They can be saved as your own custom settings. With a single click they are exported to clipboard and so its easy to paste them in a track config.
As a major improvement for older tracks with limited far track geometry, i developed a shader, which procdu...

Hello my dear Patreons,
The new updates of Sol and Pure include the new Sol Planner app (3.8) and the new Sol controller (2.42). Both will support the recent CSP RainFx changes. In the new CSP preview versions, rain amount, wetness and puddles g...
Hello,
Here is a little upgrade of Sol weather controller 2, to work with the new CSP 0.180p108 (released on 24.12.2022).
RainFX was updated! So wetness and puddles needs to be calculated differently.
Just copy the extension folder inside the zip to your AC root folder!
For this controlle...
AS ALWAYS, PLEASE READ THE INSTALL GUIDE !

Just to show you, why it is a little bit quiet since some time.
With the latest CSP versions, the integration of own shaders is possible. In the last months, i digged in the basics of shader coding and build in a dynamic shader environment into Pure. You already see it in Pure Config app (with the rain haze shader). This gives me a fast t...

Hello,
If you use Sol and Pure, please install Sol 2.2.5 on top of your existing Pure.
I prepare an update of Pure with all those changes and some other bug fixes.
I hope i can release it in the next days.

Hello my dear supporters,
Here is Pure 0.142 development preview. Many, many bugs were fixed and many new features were implemented.
Pure Config app got some features like the mouse-scroll parameter edit and right-mouse parameter reset. Also, there is an option, to have separate configs for different video modes (VR ...
2022-10-01 07:07:32 +0000 UTC View PostI found a littel bug in Pure 0.115.
The colors are shifted a tiny bit. You will not notice this while looking at the landscape or cars. But this little shift is causing wrong colors with emissive lights, like shift lights. In its extreme form, shift lights can look purple, where as they are originally blue, like in the RaceSimStudio Formula H...
New sky textures

I'm proud to present you a new way of drawing clouds in the sky!
The current state of Pure 0.75 has already a nice color composition and more ways to have good tonemapping. It already has various solutions for old AC problems, like Autoexposure and the way weather is created. It is also way more advanced than Sol code-wise.
But the cur...
My dear Patrons,
You will see Pure on sharing sites in the future. There will always be people, who take the work of someone and share it for free. Thats an old behavior and actually, i don't think its stealing.
Because you are not paying for a product, but you support the development. And i wanted to say thank you, for that support and...
You need at least CSP 1.76 public (1819) or 1.77preview1
Pure 0.75 has done a big step. Some big problems are solved.
Pure now uses its own exposure calculation.
This works much better then YEBIS Autoexpos...
Sorry for the late next development preview of Pure. But i'm working still on some important things. The next build will have a complete new way of exposure control, which is no longer dependent of Yebis' AutoExposure. So nearly all problems of the behavoirs with the AE are solved.
The next build will bring improvements with VR too. I was...

My dear patreons,
In the last month i was optimizing Pure's complete code. I find out, how to speed it up. This took some days. Pure is now running very efficient and fast.
After this, i was digging deep into the CSP clouds. I tried some new lighting models. With Pure 0.30 you see the one i prefer right now. In the next versions i w...

Please deactivate Sol Weather's wiper control completely, to use Sol Planner's wiper control. Now you have a proper manual control via keys/buttons of the wipers, if you set them to:
-2: Wipers are not controlled by Sol Planer
or
-1: Wipers are controlled by Sol Planner automatically
Changes:
1) Converting / optimizing the whole code (resulted in a 100% performance boost)
2) Added 3d cloud system:
- fully functional positioning and appearing/disappearing system
- multi layer cloud system (only Cumulus for now)
- basic lighting model (becoming more advanced ...
I tried a first implementation of "3D" clouds in Pure. I made the code from the ground and found and solved much problems of LUA.
So actually you see unoptimized rendering. Everything is calculated every frame.
There is no advanced clouds lighting code. This will cause more impact, but with the known optimization fr...
