Las Vegas F1 2023 Extension 1.2.1 (TRACK VERSION 3.2)
Added 2023-11-18 06:00:03 +0000 UTC.
[EDIT: UPDATE 1.2.1]
SPECIAL UPDATE FOR THOSE WITH BIG FPS DROP ISSUES
Big thanks to bynar010 for suggestions on these improvements ππ
Some lights fix to save FPS
Some materials optimization
Flickering reduction on long distance meshes
.
[EDIT: UPDATE 1.2]
AFTER A LONG AND SLEEPLESS NIGHT OF WORK, EXTENSION IS FINALLY COMPATIBLE WITH TRACK VERSION 3.2 !!! π
Everything in the extension has been updated and relocated to fit the redesigned layout and I also have completely redesigned walls physics to better fit the visuals
If you have an old version installed, I highly recommend to completely remove the lasvegas23 folder, to install version 3.2 from the provided link and then to install the new extension 1.2
Please note that I have no intention to follow every update of this track until it has a more persistent design. This process has been very time consuming and other tracks extensions are coming soon (yes even during the winter break π)
.
This weekend, F1 Circus has never deserved its name more than it does and goes to Vegas for the first ever Las Vegas Grand Prix!
So I think we can all agree that the Las Vegas layout is "probably" not the best track of the season π
Even so, a lot of work have been put in this extension to make it at least a little bit closer to the real one.
Is it perfect? Surely not!
But it's almost the best we can have this weekend with this mod without recreating a complete new track and I am pretty sure it should be probably fun to drive with friends
.
So here we go, a huge amount of new things in this new Layout 2023:
2023 billboards
2023 animated boards
2023 fence boards
2023 brake markers
2023 grounds sponsors
2023 Pit names
New Sphere animations
Updated Rolex Clock model
DRS Lines
New bridges
LOTS of new buildings
Monorail track
New grandstands
New clubs
Updated standing zones
Updated lights
New VAO Patch
and more...
Enjoy! π

[Issues with some CSP versions]
This track extension has been tested and designed for CSP version 0.2.x
It can work with previous versions but if you have some issues it is recommended to use the latest one. You can get it there:
https://acstuff.ru/patch/
.
[FPS Saving]
If you need more FPS, you can try to disable two things in file
[layout_f1_2023\extension\ext_config.ini] :
1. disable additional track light by setting
[INCLUDE: ../../common/ext_config-pyyer-lasvegas-lights.ini] to ACTIVE = 0
If that doesn't improve things,
2. disable new sphere animation by setting
[INCLUDE: ext_config-pyyer-lasvegas-sphere-2023.ini] to ACTIVE = 0
.
[Edit v1.0.2]
Still working on the purple texture issue,
I haven't been able to reproduce but v1.0.2 could solve this
(updating CSP to 0.2.0 would solve this also)
.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT TRACK VERSIONS COMPATIBILITY
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EXTENSION HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR VERSION 3.2 OF THE NUKEDROP TRACK
IF A NEW VERSION IS RELEASED IT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THIS EXTENSION VERSION
SO ENSURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TRACK VERSION WITH THE RIGHT EXTENSION VERSION
AT THIS TIME:
TRACK VERSION 3.2 <=> EXTENSION VERSION 1.2
.
[ ____________ INSTALL PROCEDURE ____________]
1. DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE TRACK VERSION 3.2
Track is lasvegas23 v3.2 by Nukedrop and is available here:
https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/f1-las-vegas-2023-grand-prix-layout.49878/version/114936/download
.
2. DOWNLOAD THE EXTENSION
Download the 2023 extension:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10z2fASzQTabyvNMmr09ek2UUgrBGzT3B/
.
3. INSTALL THE EXTENSION
Content Manager cannot install extensions directly so you have
to manually extract the extension to your assetto corsa folder
using Windows Explorer
(override extension existing files if asked)
.
4. SELECT THE TRACK LAYOUT IN CONTENT MANAGER
.
5. PLAY π
[ _____________________________________________]

For once and because this extension has required a LOT of new models, here is a quick overview of all the stuff that have been added in this extension π

Track doesn't work with newest version anymore
NoobGaming
2025-04-10 12:47:04 +0000 UTCWell I did not receive a reaction so far but I still wanna report that at least for me Las Vegas at night does not work with Pure - it does not get dark, no matter what I do, which time is set. When not using Pure 2.1.5,latest CSP, i.e. Live weather, all is fine. Not sure if it's me, if others can confirm and maybe it even gets fixed with 2024 version which I am looking for a lot. I think it is a nice track overall. What I could also remark is that on the starting grid the cars are not aligned properly i.e. the first rows are positioned way before the markings on track. Not sure if that can be fixed maybe. Thx.
TheBigRabbit
2024-11-20 11:46:14 +0000 UTCi have no lights - just dark - any idea? set the light-fix to 0 - no change made fresh installs
Peter Winkler
2024-03-31 15:49:03 +0000 UTCTo inhibit lights fix and get the original track lights, you can edit the file: tracks\lasvegas23\layout_f1_2023\extension\ext_config.ini and set [INCLUDE: ../../common/ext_config-pyyer-lasvegas-lights-fix.ini] ACTIVE = 0
Pyyer
2023-11-26 09:05:57 +0000 UTCits normal its getting darker the las vegas 2023 ? any ideas for the lights ?
Niko
2023-11-25 20:02:33 +0000 UTCDo you mean the Fenryr one? Will give it a look during the winter break and see how to improve things
Pyyer
2023-11-25 09:48:24 +0000 UTCSorry to read that π Last update tried to optimize things and obviously it doesn't work for everyone. To inhibit lights fix, you can still edit the file: tracks\lasvegas23\layout_f1_2023\extension\ext_config.ini and set [INCLUDE: ../../common/ext_config-pyyer-lasvegas-lights-fix.ini] ACTIVE = 0
Pyyer
2023-11-25 09:47:32 +0000 UTCNot to my knowledge. Please make sure you have the right track+extension versions: TRACK VERSION 3.2 <=> EXTENSION VERSION 1.2.1
Pyyer
2023-11-25 09:43:07 +0000 UTCmaybe don't run an ancient version of CSP?
bynar010
2023-11-24 18:35:11 +0000 UTCHi Pyyer! Have you a plan to improve FPS to your Losail? It's the only circuit by night with a high FPS drops. All others (always by night) works very good! Thanks
JV82
2023-11-24 18:31:39 +0000 UTCUpdate 1.2.1 is a shocker,track is just WHITE.And the view is just DARK all over,deleted that update straight away.I play in VR and the only issue I have is from the start line ,through the 1st corner,going towards the 2nd corner is where I get a frames hit,drops from 72 frames to 35 frames,then back to 72 frames for the rest of the track.But track looks great.
philip
2023-11-24 09:22:58 +0000 UTCis it possible that after version 1.0.2 we can't go out from pits?
mario antunez
2023-11-23 17:26:29 +0000 UTCI canβt get it to look right compared to what i game seen reviews of online. Iβm running 3.2 and 1.7 of CSP. No animated bill boards etc. my pc / gpu is more than strong enough. Any ideas?
Amish Patel
2023-11-23 16:20:31 +0000 UTCThank you. Very much appreciated as is my old hog i7 ;)
Phil Winstanley
2023-11-23 11:43:30 +0000 UTCThanks for the update! It brought back so much fps. One thing, the heineken boards at T1 (where T1 meets exit of pit) flicker a lot in replay. To be more clear, the boards that are showed after looking down from sky-angle in the track cam included in the original track.
Average Driver
2023-11-23 03:02:59 +0000 UTCNow we have many FPS! Thank You!!!

2023-11-22 17:32:08 +0000 UTCLegend! Love your work, Thank you
R Ernst
2023-11-22 16:43:03 +0000 UTCSorry, mate, if I'm late to congrat you for your hard work - I'm also sure you didn't forget to insert tricky holes in this extension. LOL
JagHond
2023-11-21 20:24:26 +0000 UTCI lost many fps, at night, on starting straight, from 70 to 30. Start is terrible against 19 AI. After the first lap I return to 40.
JV82
2023-11-20 20:16:47 +0000 UTCFirst of all thank you for your work, I wanted to point out that in my case with the extension activated I lose a lot of fps, this happens especially when racing at night. In the normal version of the track this doesn't happen. Thank you!!
Freenrg
2023-11-20 18:30:55 +0000 UTCThanks so much Pyyer, great work as always, sorry you lost so much sleep - but we appreciate it!!
Dave E
2023-11-20 05:52:58 +0000 UTCYou sir, are an absolute legend. The feeling one gets to experience this track whilst it's GP hasn't occurred even 24hrs ago is indescribable. This is all through your hard work. We thank you!!!
Francis ChAZZ
2023-11-19 19:39:59 +0000 UTCAmazing! I thought you didn't have to, it was great already, yesterday. We could manage but good for you anyway, thank you and take a break!

2023-11-19 16:17:22 +0000 UTCNo problem for me with 20 drivers (tested with RSS FH2023)
JV82
2023-11-19 15:02:56 +0000 UTCWhat could be the reason the AI cars crash into everything, sidewalls and eachother? The track is useless in race mode.
Einar BjΓΈrnen
2023-11-19 14:29:20 +0000 UTCfound this maybe it helps: (tested myself and when the FFBclip app is activated i get the race canceled message) "I found the culprate for my "race cancelled" for every track /car issue: the FFBClip app inside assettocorsa\apps\python\FFBClip\Config dir , deleted the 2 ini files (Combos.ini and FFBClip.ini) (for me they were both massive big , +50Kb , and no longer readable via notepad, so I guess they got corrupted somehow) Now I can run aC sessions again (also with the FFBClip app turned on)."
Jack_NL
2023-11-19 13:22:05 +0000 UTCv1.2: You've done a remarkable job on the Sphere! ext_config-pyyer-lasvegas-lights.ini alone makes the place look nuclear and tanks fps in VR from 90fps to 30fps.

FELIX VEGA
2023-11-18 21:47:58 +0000 UTCThis error means incorrect installation. Have you read the important note about track versions compatibility? Which track version are you using?
Pyyer
2023-11-18 21:28:52 +0000 UTCPlease read note about versions compatibility: Extension 1.0.2 has been designed for track version 3.0 and will not work with track version 3.2 until extension update which will require a lot of work
Pyyer
2023-11-18 21:23:31 +0000 UTCLot of work will be needed π Please read note about versions compatibility I will try to update extension as soon as I can

Kelechi
2023-11-18 21:12:36 +0000 UTCWill this work with the new Nukedrop 3.2 version, or would it need a new extension?
Guy Swarbrick

FELIX VEGA
2023-11-18 19:35:34 +0000 UTCCan't get the skin to work, my friend has the same problem. Tried updating CSP to 0.2.0. But that doesn't make a difference.
Lars Geurts
2023-11-18 19:32:48 +0000 UTC3. INSTALL THE EXTENSION Content Manager cannot install extensions directly so you have to manually extract the extension to your assetto corsa folder using Windows Explorer (override extension existing files if asked)
Jack_NL
2023-11-18 17:35:35 +0000 UTCThanks for the fastastic work! Do have a lot of issues with CSP 0.2.x. Still in development!. So optimizing for for the last stable version CSP 1.79 is the more sensible option imo.
Eric Altorf
2023-11-18 16:08:06 +0000 UTCdoesnt work keeps in giving me ''CANNOT HAVE 0 CARS IN RACE.INI'' error even though there are more than 21 cars loaded in

2023-11-18 16:02:57 +0000 UTChey it doesnt work for me. It shows me that the race has been cancelled everytime I try to turn it on.
Alex Ε tΔrba
2023-11-18 14:38:41 +0000 UTCThanks yes it got rid of the purple track v1.0.2,CSP 2.0 seems to effect the frame rates,might try going back to CSP 1.79,suddenly getting a warning as game loads.
philip
2023-11-18 14:33:45 +0000 UTCIf dynamic physics were possible I would have probably done it π
Pyyer
2023-11-18 14:02:58 +0000 UTCdoes it come with dynamic drain covers?
adam whiteman
2023-11-18 14:00:51 +0000 UTCGreat to read! π I can finally rest a little now π
Pyyer
2023-11-18 13:36:37 +0000 UTCv1.0.2 removed the purple stuff for me, thank you:) CSP 0.1.79
Sami HautajΓ€rvi
2023-11-18 13:32:22 +0000 UTCGreat! Extension update 1.0.2 should solve it too (there was a mismatch in 1.0.1 files)
Pyyer
2023-11-18 13:17:45 +0000 UTCOne way for night races is :to use at least CSP 0.1.79 (0.2.0 recommended and to set the time in Content Manager)
Pyyer
2023-11-18 13:17:10 +0000 UTCExtension update 1.0.2 should do it (there was a mismatch in 1.0.1 files) Updating to CSP 0.2.0 would solve it too
Pyyer
2023-11-18 13:14:17 +0000 UTCI was having issues with the purple track textures as well, but I updated CSP to 0.2.0 and had no issues at all! Amazing work!

fabrice marchand
2023-11-18 12:53:30 +0000 UTCNo,the purple track is still there with the update 1.01 . It looks like purple camouflage across the whole track,same colour as the FLY TO DOHA sign.Only the pit area is normal coloured ash felt. Have photos of track using recommended CSP v0.1.79.

Pyyer
2023-11-18 11:47:06 +0000 UTCFor people with the purple stuff issue [I cannot reproduce it] can you please tell me: - which CSP version you use - If you know how to use Object Inspector, which material (and diffuse texture name) is this purple stuff? [EDIT: solved with 1.0.2 but I'd still recommend to update to CSP 0.2.0]
Pyyer
2023-11-18 11:46:41 +0000 UTCThank you π

2023-11-18 11:32:09 +0000 UTCgreat work! But purple stuff on the track surface.. even with version v1.01
Robbin Kruithof
2023-11-18 11:30:08 +0000 UTCI know that but it is the first ever Las Vegas Grand Prix with this name (first two in 1981/1982 were named "Caesars Palace Grand Prix") π
Pyyer
2023-11-18 11:27:16 +0000 UTCTrack limits would require to create and replace existing track physics with new ones which is a very fastidious process . Probably better to wait for a new track mod
Pyyer
2023-11-18 11:25:01 +0000 UTCHopefully we will have a new track for next year edition ππ€
Pyyer
2023-11-18 11:21:19 +0000 UTCFew people struggling with FPS, definitely lower than the stock nuke version, especially around the start/finish. Pinned it down to the lights you added to try and balance out the track lighting. I've got a similar result by making the track slightly emissive instead, with zero performance overhead compared to the light series - [MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_...] ACTIVE = 1 DESCRIPTION = Make track slightly emmisive to even out the lighting MESHES = ?visual1ROAD?,1PIT,1ROAD?,?KERB?,GroundT? KEY_0 = ksEmissive VALUE_0 = 255,255,255,0.016 VALUE_0_OFF = ORIGINAL CONDITION = NIGHT_SMOOTH Probably can be done better, but something to think about

Mark Powell
2023-11-18 08:43:23 +0000 UTCLove your work. Mine struggling at night. Anything i can do to improve frames?
Phil Winstanley
2023-11-18 08:03:15 +0000 UTCAwesome!! Only thing is I notice with the real track that the barriers are a lot closer in a lot of places, especially in T14-15-16. The nukedrop mod is pretty good but it definitely has some shortfalls, given that it came out a good month or so before the track was even built IRL!
Southwest1131
2023-11-18 07:39:24 +0000 UTCAmazing effort for a 1.0 version, with so much going on!! p.s. maybe do an authentic version with no spectators? ;)

2023-11-18 06:46:44 +0000 UTCHi,great track,only problem I have is the track itself is covered in a purple pattern right through,do you know why? Your demo is the normal track colour,tarmac.Thanks Philip
philip
2023-11-18 06:45:26 +0000 UTCExcellent! I've been waiting for this all week as Nukedrop's version was missing the DRS zones. Any chance you're able to add track limits too?
Adair
2023-11-18 06:37:10 +0000 UTCBeautifully done! I think the Nukedrop mod is incredible. I know he's put a lot of work into it over the past year and a half (at least). It could be improved in some areas now that we've seen the actual track (especially turn 1/2, and the pit exit), but I would gladly take it as-is. And adding this extension just brings it all to life. I'm so thankful for guys like Nukedrop and Pyyer!
Chad Pyeatt
2023-11-18 06:25:34 +0000 UTCThanks for your excellent work. This track needed it.
