This mainly just fixes most of the edge-case issues with last update. The main thing that I just couldn't get over were the current brightness levels. This was fixed via a significant exposure rework(LCS only). The Gamma update also received a minor fix...

Hello, everyone! I'm super excited to finally be ready to relea...
I’ve spent the last month deep-diving into how I can really make LCS as good as I think it can be, and I think I’ve made very significant progress. As the months go by, things will only get better and better. It’s at the point where I can confidently say that I’d use this over the Gamma iteration of the filter in almost every situation. The rest is CSP-sided, and there’s stuff in the works for that. The future is now, everyone. Thanks for all your love and support.
Coming on t...

Hello! This month's update is mostly for quality-of -life. It brings a completely new look to the filter's menus.
Pretty much everything important now has it's own special area within the "Pure-PP application. It's really nifty for making things easier to navigate.
Also, ...
Adds support for pure's newest and most recent update. The biggest thing is that bloom is now much more accurate to how your eyes percieve light. Reflections, base lighting, etc have also been adjusted minorly to fit this change. There is also now working Film Grain.(Pure 2.5+ needed.)

Spent some extra time over the last 2 months refining LCS until Pure and CSP’s next large update. You’ll love it.

Realism is something we've always strived for, but this is a little something for those on the other side of the coin. This filter specializes in bright, dream-like mornings, punchy middays, and dark, dramatic n...
Someone challened me to make a filter that was purely cinematic.... the result came out much better than i thought. It's not necessarily realistic, but it is a sight to behold in terms of visual beauty. Coming 1/12/2025.
P.S. there will also be performance optimizations and minor changes for the regular filters as well(to ensure compatibility with CSP 0.2.6 and Pure 2.38)

Time for a breath of fresh air. After some real-life observation and direct comparisons to scenarios from the respective games I've enjoyed over the years, ACRealism is now at a point to where i can say this - whether you want your game to be as realistic as possible, or if you want more of a GT-like aesthet...
It was time for some big changes to be made.
There's so much to go through, but I'll highlight the main changes.

Hello, everyone! I am finally ready to present to you guys what I believe is the most versatile, realistic visuals to ever come to this game. There's a TON that's been changed, so let's get into it.
First, Let's talk exposure.
The last release was good, but it needed to be improved upon in terms of stability, and versatility. Things would get a bit wonky on overly bright maps, and also many very popular photo maps. It also would fluctuate in some edge cases. Now things shoul...
This is a small guide showing the basics, and giving a short explanation of how to get started using ACRealism.

LCS has been released, and I'm officially announcing support for it coming early October(maybe earlier, depending on how things go).The filter already has a working base for it, and things are going much better than i thought. I still want to refine things as much as possible for you all, to give the best visual experience possible. It's time for a new age of realism. So, stay tuned as this game continues to evolve into something insane.
P.S. September update is still on the way, be re...
One of the biggest, best updates ever, coming 9/5/2024.

Hey, we're back and another update is ready to be pushed out to you all! I felt that the last version of the filter still left a few things to be desired, so this update focused on improving performance, while also creating more soft, natural lighting that isn't harsh on the eyes. To achieve this the ambient light, reflections, bloom, and emissive lighting are now significantly more intense. Now, anything that emits light is significantly more powerful. There was also a somewhat drastic dimmi...

First things first, I'd like to give thanks for over 2000 members! I love you all, and your feedback has been instrumental to pushing the filter farther than ever thought possible.
Now, let's get into the patch notes For V1.27.
The first large change is the introduction of a "Glare Tweak". This is a completely new approach to glare that not only takes a base glare value into account, but then multiplies this amount by t...
Not gonna spill the beans, but Glare will recieve a massive improvment next update. It has always been exposure based, but it's time for a change. I will elaborate more on release day, but stay tuned.

It's finally ready, after another long month of waiting for you all. First things first, we have surpassed over 2100 Members! Thanks so much for supporting my vision and being here with me to help this community push Assetto farther than it ever has been. I'd also like to thank Kunos for giving us modders a great base to work with. Now, on to the nitty gritty.
Many things have been changed, but I'll highlight the most important ones.
Firstly, the "Blindness Intensity" Option no...
So, after a long wait(and many changes) V1.22 is finally here!
The biggest change, however, is that the filter now works on a completely re-envisioned, all new auto-exposure system. This has access to 3 things: Sun Brightness, Ambient Environment brightness, and Directional ambient brightness. This is then leveraged using YEBIS Auto-exposure to create a poppy, bright image when necessary, while darkening it in situations where needed. This, along with the new Adaptive Tonemapping, crea...
A few much-needed things have been heavily re-vamped. The biggest change, however, will be the auto-exposure. It has been re-conceptualized from the ground up. It is now calculated using sun brightness, Ambient Light, and directional ambient lighting as factors to increase the feeling of being under the sun. 
Clear Weather, 4:00 PM
To help accentuate this feeling, reflections, Atmospher...
Many changes have been made since the last post. The atmospheric lighting system has been almost completely reconceptualized, properly fitting into the environment without making any sacrifices on visibility.
Tone-mapping implementation will now feature the first-ever 3-level saturation pass, ensuring that colors will be smoother and more realistic than ever before.

Changelog:
AE Heavily revised to be more consistent.
Gamma re-worked to avoid over/under-contrast.
New lighting system, which interpolates all world-lighting based on exposure, to keep the visuals strong and consistent at all times of day
Atmosphere concept re-vamped to be even more realistic, being heavily affected by the environment.
Environment-based reflections are now significantly improved.
Thanks for all your love and support! I ap...
