Pure 3.04

With Pure 3.0, I started testing it on Linux systems along with CSP release and development builds. I did a lot of tests and benchmarks and with the newest CSP 0.3p110 AC + CSP is running great in my preferred Linux distros (Bazzite 42 (KDE) and CachyOS (KDE)). At the moment I'm working on an easy-to-use install tutorial video, which shows how you install Bazzite or CachyOS and how you must install AC, Content Manager, CSP and Pure.
After a dozen test installs I achieved a 100% working sequence to have a fully running AC/CSP/Pure in their latest versions.
With the ongoing development of Pure I will always test all those components, and maybe one day I can fully switch to Linux. For now I still have to find out how VR and HDR are working for AC under Linux.
I will start a new Linux corner in the Pure Discord so more and more information can be gathered to support a Windows alternative.

Install information for the UPCOMING Pure update

Pure 2.35 will feature a new installer since for the past few months there have been issues when installing Pure.

In case Microsoft Defender and the Smart Screen feature are being used it is most likely that some files are not correctly unpacked if Windows Explorer is used for extraction.

For that reason I decided to upgrade to a self-extracting archive. The only obstacle is that the executable requires manual verification in case Smart Screen is active.

The executable uses the RAR unpacking method that doesn't include further scripts which run before or after unpacking.

After many tests this appears to be a safe method for Installing Pure with MS Defender and Smart Screen active - even without WinRAR or 7zip.

Pure 2.35 will be released on December 2, 2024

For this Pure update the focus lies on visual enhancements for the skydomes, the scenery and post-processing.

The future of Pure

This is an announcement! This is not a release!

After many attempts to transform Pure to support “Linear Color Space” (LCS), I came to the conclusion that Pure utilizes too many workaround strategies to look great  in “Gamma Color Space” (Gamma). Unfortunately, those workarounds turned out to be incompatible with LCS shaders. So I had no choice but to take drastic measures in order to ensure long term compatibility with LCS.

Pure 0.271 is being renamed to “Pure Gamma” and is now considered version 1.0. Pure in its current state is a done deal for me. Its lighting calculations are, in my opinion, absolutely suitable and the optimum that can be achieved with Gamma shaders.

However, to achieve even better results with LCS, I decided to build the future Pure on an already existing and functional basis.

I use the “default” weather style from Ilja and will incorporate all the features that make Pure so special:

The skydomes, its realistic light levels in daylight condition, extended ambient lighting, the advanced exposure calculation, its scripting interface and therefore the interface for modders as well as the control via Pure Config are part of the new “Pure LCS”.

The initial release of Pure LCS at the beginning of July will contain all of Pure's basic elements. The follow up release in early September will add skydomes and Pure's shaders, such as sunblinding-, groundfog-, lightning- and the landscape shader. With this update the basic re-work will be completed and a new foundation for further development is created.

Currently all Pure LCS features are working so nothing stands in the way of an early July release.

Pure 0.271 development update

Install video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biTLqQMO83Y

Ground Fog shader

• a new shader which adds ground fog along the AI spline

• the shader only works on tracks with AI splines!

Lightning shader

• added a probability multiplier slider

Pure Planner

• new translations: Chinese, French adn Spanish (Thanks to Tidy, RiZou71, PAU and Javire !!!)

CSP Linear Color Space support (CSP 0.2.3p211 or later needed for LCS)

From now on Pure features (limited) support for LCS. However, the integration is still in a very early and unoptimized state. In Pure 0.270 it matches with the overall look of normal (gamma) shaders. So visually LCS and gamma shaders will look pretty much identical. Please be aware that the current LCS integration only works at daytime for now.

A full rebuild of Pures code is required to make linear color space function properly.

Please don't report ANY issues regarding LCS mode !!! Please don't do it !!!

There are still bugs both on the CSP and Pure side. But full LCS support will likely be a thing of the near future. I already started re-writing the Pure base code and I'll keep posting updates so you can keep track of Assetto Corsas transformation into a more modern looking game!

In Content Manger - Settings - weatherFX, you can activate LCS. If you have "Developer Mode" active, you're able to switch between LCS and gamma mode by pressing your space bar (orange border = LCS mode).

Live switching of Gamma and LCS shaders in VR is NOT supported! (AC will crash) !

Complete Pure 0.270 changelog

Pure 0.270 > 0.271

• solved: groundfog shader darker than the normal fog in the distance

• solved: groundfog headlights for all "drivable" camera modes

• solved: groundfog flickering fog when passing start-finish line

• solved: use Pure Planner app without Pure weather style

New CSP 0.2.3p211

Just a short disclaimer to explain Pure's compatibility to it:

The new CSP version has a new feature called Linear Color Space (LCS). It will solve issues with AC rendering, BUT therefore the core shaders were reinvented. CSP now has 2 shader sets, the old shaders like CSP 0.2 - 0.2.3p1 and new shaders which support LCS.

The shaders are switched by activating/deactivating LCS in weatherFX settings. So actually it should be possible to run Pure with CSP 0.2.3p211 without problems.

Pure will not have LCS in the NEXT MONTHS. Pure must be rewritten from the ground, because everything is changed with the core shaders and currently i'm not sure if this is worth it.
It is the biggest change since the first release of CSP and it affects all parts of Pure in a very negative way. It will need a huge amount of time to fix all new problems with it.

So actually CSP without LCS should be compatible with Pure.

So I ask for your understanding, that Pure has no LCS for a long time. If you discover any problems with the new CSP and Pure, please switch back to a former CSP version and try again, before you report problems.

If you want to test LCS and its differences to the old shaders, please use the "default" weather style. You can switch LCS in weatherFX settings "Use linear color space fix".

Pure 0.270 - new features

Pure will get a new shader - "ground fog".

Integration of custom post-processing

With the newer CSP versions, YEBIS can be bypassed, and a custom PP is possible. Pure’s customPP will do all the basic things like YEBIS (tone mapping, color adjustment and color grading), but it has optimizations and new features. CustomPP uses a very lightweight variant of Glare. It is not as nice as the YEBIS one (maybe in the future), but it will give some FPS back. It is like a functional Glare.

CustomPP also has an optimized autoexposure (AE) algorithm. It will detect little light sources much better than the YEBIS AE, and so exposure generation is more stable at nighttimes.

Due to customPP, HDR mapping and custom HDR mapping are now possible.
The new “pureHDR” PPfilter offers a new way to use HDR in AC.

pureHDR

HDR conversion, to emulate an LDR-like look, with higher tone resolution and precision

The pureHDR filter will force customPP, you don’t need to set anything. It also uses its own tone-mapping function – coded inside the script, which brings great results, to achieve a functional and aesthetic HDR tone conversion. The developed code provides a handy control to manage certain dynamic ranges.

The main idea of this ppfilter is to create an LDR-like look with just a little bit more dynamic range while using the higher precision of the HDR output. The result is a very clear and sharp look with some higher dynamic range and a good visibility of all parts of the picture.

This filter also has a unique feature. Very low tones will be desaturated. So, this kind of simulates color blindness in the dark. Therefore, night scenes look much more realistic and immersive.

pureVR

An optimized PPfilter/script, for using VR. It will avoid some distractions and its tone mapping is made to have a clear view, without the loss of details.

Sunblinding shader

A new Pure shader to gain immersion and feel the power of the sun. In my opinion, this is the biggest improvement to AC/CSP that Pure has added since its creation. This shader will give a real feel for the amount of light the sun gives. The shader can be customized for your own needs, and it can be completely controlled by PPfilter scripts.

PPfilter related Pure configs

It is now possible, to export a config associated to a ppfilter. In Pure Config app – “PP” filter tab, press “Export Pure Config as PPfilter related config”. The config will be placed besides the Pure scripts with the same name like the PPfilter. You don’t even need a script to use this feature.

This is a very easy way to create a Pure featured PPfilter. Or you just use this function, to have custom Pure settings for a PPfilter. If you save the config in Pure Config app, the settings will be saved in this PPfilter related file.

Pure Controller and Pure Planner app

With this release, Pure is completely independent of Sol. It now has its own weather controller and planning app. Pure Planner has a build in help file. If you hover over the controls, you can instantly read the associated help text.

Weather plans can be more complex but even easier in Pure Planner. Slots are no more fixed. You can change their position freely in the plan.

You can do very unique random weather and the dynamic calculation of weather parameters is also reworked.

To adapt the scaling of LUA app, like Pure Planner and Pure Config app are, please have a look here:

Better file saving routines

After the problems with the new Content Manager, I decided to rewrite the file loading and saving routines. The security is also much higher with the new code.

Landscape Shader

A simple but effective shader, which generates an infinite landscape. This fixes the most problems with tracks, that misses a far geometry. If this shader is configured for the tracks, the horizon line is fixed, the track is not floating in the 3d space.

Track adaptions can be edited live

Also i added the track adaptions to Pure Config. They can be edited live now and even exported to clipboard, to paste it directly in a track config.

Better exposure in "pure" ppfilter

I added an option to the expsoure handle script. Exposure is now much higher in low light sceneries.

pureCandy

This ppfilter was reworked. It now looks much nicer and Glare has better parameters.

Hello,

Today we linked the Pure Patreon with the Sol/Pure Discord Server.

This will give you a much better support. On Discord, problems can be sovled much faster. We added a Patreon category there. Please use it, if you report bugs or need help with a problem.

Actually Patreon joins you automatically to the Sol/Pure Discord, if you already activate the Discord app integration.
