Spoiler: Gray/Winter or colored/autumn textures troubleshooting Your track textures are not looking like they should look.



Its actually not an error, its a feature, called "seasonal adjustments". With CSP it is possible to change the track's textures to other colors. There is a problem with CSP versions between 1.30 and 1.38, so the textures looks much darker than they should look. This is fixed with CSP version 1.39.

CM just uses the current date for the race session. If its wintertime where the track is located, textures will be changed to look like they have a snow cover.

Solution:

Change the date to summertimes

In CM's Drive menu:

Open the Sol_weather app and change the date:

Spoiler: Sol's Post Processing filters 1. "__Sol"

This is a basic filter, where almost all Sol picture improvements and effects are deactivated. It should be used for compatibility issues or for testing content.



3. "__Sol_Extra"

This filter has warm colors and nearly all extra Sol effects are activated. It uses Sol's auto-calibrating autoexpousure. It could be described as eye-candy-filter.
