Different sky conditions

Howdy people

I was just wondering why doesn't Kunos make different sky conditions. By that they could use different sky conditions like overcast, sunny, cloudy, etc. We are simply limited to those clouds which don't look good at all...they are so unnatural and ice creamish

So my question to Kunos goes will you make different cloud/sky condition? This is not a thread for rain, night and etc., it's just a question why don't you simply make several files for different type of sky?

 

Hi mate.
I'm 50% agree with you why they should develop different sky condition if clock itself is not dynamic? i think they should begin to introduce something related to this topic because everything is so static (referring to circuit/track enviroment)

maybe it may sounds boring for someone but i still convinced dynamic time and weather can make the success of this sim.

just think about how changeable the track condition would be IF wind affects the car and track surface or the temp changement by time going on, these are the hardpoints which i belive are important in a sim
cheers

 

I think there are sky box mods out there that change the sky but I don't know if it's random or changeable. By that I mean you can change the standard skybox to something else it will use that new skybox only and won't alternate between them. I could be wrong though.

The current environment is suitable for the Italian tracks but the likes of silverstone would have an overcast and cloudy sky.

 

true, this is it.
temp, wind, humidity and sun angle changes according to the geo coordinates they can't be "fixed" variables wrote in a table

 

I agree, the skies look very unrealistic and bland most of the time, and would love for some nicer changeable skies to be implemented. However i dont think its a huge priority right now.

 

speaking about the current realease, i think sky and enviroment are realistic enough if we consider they are static so i belive this is a good start but the way to go is yet long and far ihmo.

 

Yupp. Besides the tracks seem kinda empty and dead, different conditions could add greatly to the overall experience.

 

somehow you're right but if you enable free camera on a track (monza for istance) you may see some unnecessary items like vans and trucks parked on zones where camera will ever never look at.
they could clean such things and add something that is around the true eye.

just my view..

 

It has been discussed in the suggestions part of the forum...
https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/i...ni-would-enable-much-better-mod-tracks.17562/

This would be an step in the right direction as the tracks would be able to have different weather settings - also make sure to read "si3v,s" response to this....

 

There are just a few vans and tracks, without them the track would be looking even more empty - there are several replay-cams that let you see this places. However, they are really low poly and got simple textures. Shouldn't have a big impact.
Regarding near the track:
raceroom and especially project cars are good examples. Like regarding the sky some will say they don't recognise this and it would be irrelevant, but I recognise if Im on a trackday or a raceevent.
Open pitgarages different kinds of staff in the pits and 3d folk around the track, real traffic lights (I looked for the right word on a translationpage but after I looked for "Rennampel" (racetrafficlight)
it just suggested "Rennkamel" (racing camel) ) would greatly add to the atmosphere. + Some dirt. The game seem a bit "sterile".
Sure no priority, but I would put it on the list for properly simulated races.

Edit: I just googled out of curiousity and learned something...

I probably should work on my education...

 

This is not a topic for track specific weather condition. They could make some (dds???) files and import them to all tracks. That's how it would be somehow static but much more interesting. I was thinking something like iracing has. It doesn't need to be dynamic. It should be much more dynamic with that sky. What you see now is only that clouds and blue sky. That's it. No feeling at all...

 

I think Kunos are aware of this and while they say it's not on the cards, I think we will see it eventually. They've succumed to forum preasure in the past (pitstops) .

 

They don't have to feel a pressure They already have lots of it ^^ Was just wondering if that is even possible to do. I saw one track/mod, where different sky was implemented. It was interesting for a start so I think it could be possible. The only problem remains with the light source since Ac has only one light source as far as I know...

Edit: A perfect example of what I am thinking about:

 

I agree I would love to have sky presets I could choose before I load the track. still I think track specific weather would break the static look between the tracks.
No blue skies here....

 

Yeah, but that looks so unnatural Playing with colorcurves and weather ini won't do the trick xD
