C13 AEGIS 2.0 | LCS is here
🕑 Added 2024-09-10 23:38:26 +0000 UTCAs I teased a bit ago, the moment is now at hand, and C13 AEGIS 2.0 with Pure LCS support is here. The road from the teaser to here has admittedly been surprisingly long, but I'm happy to finally share with you the fruit of my labor.
What you're looking at is a double pack of C13 AEGIS 1.89 for Gamma and 2.0 for LCS. The filter ini is identical, but Pure will load the appropriate script based on the selected WFX. Should be a plug and play, painless transition.
So let's talk about LCS, or rather Pure LCS. Once dialed in, the differences between gamma and LCS aren't that huge. A good thing, given how phenomenal C13 AEGIS looks on pure gamma (pretty much best looking filter in the realistic category, not really a contest). But the differences that are there, stack up.
World Lighting
Pure LCS leans into what Gamma opened with ambient V2, with a heavy focus on radiosity ambient light, that gives us that soft look that you might get from more ambient aware rendering engines. That soft lighting that you've come to know C13 AEGIS for, can be taken a step further with LCS and C13 AEGIS 2.0. Fog has also seen massive improvements in Pure LCS, so much so, that a fully custom implementation is no longer necessary.
Lights
Lights have always been a massive issue for Assetto Corsa with CSP, and the reason was gamma color space. Remember in Sol, where you could see headlights light up the road even in broad daylight? Pure gamma, combated this by raising world lighting levels so far above artificial lights, that those would be all but drowned out. The downside? - neither AC, nor CSP could reliably handle such high luminance of the world, so many things required workarounds, and emissives required modulation, to be appropriately bright in different exposure conditions. And LCS? Well due to appropriate light addition math, lights get appropriately drowned out on sunlit surfaces. This enables C13 AEGIS 2.0 to run ridiculously low world brightness, which makes exposure easier to manage, and allows for no fakery with lights whatsoever. What you see is what you get, all lights are the same brightness at all times!
Limitations
There are of course caveats. LCS isn't quite there yet at CSP level. Issues with shadows, weird cubemap behavior, SSLR funny business, and especially the behavior of glowing emissives. These things will either require content updates, or fixes in CSP. Something will give sooner or later, but be aware of this if you're experiencing "strangeness".
The future
Is there even anything left to do? In a word, yes. I'd like to spend more time exploring the new exposure paradigm, and adjust how I use various aspects of the exposure calculation to adjust scene aesthetics. Perhaps lean further into tonemapping level adjustments, specifically for edge case and combined parameter compensations (things like low screen space exposure measurements in situations with high overall scene brightness). It's a whole new ball game, and i'm here to play. But for now, C13 AEGIS 2.0 is here to keep the throne warm.
As always, thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me, and really helps the C13 project grow and experiment with more exciting things to bring you guys.

Why is it easier for my friends over seas to find the pirate versions of this filter than it is for people paying to find the legit download link?

There are plenty of posts with the downloads
Daniel Kavanagh
where is the download for the previous versions?

Ive done some testing now myself (on a pimax 8kx) and everything seem to work well, amazing ambience in some conditions(!), and so far it seems like the performance might be slightly better than with gamma(!). Only thing, and its a tiny thing, is that windshied wipers get a sharp, glittering outline, probably because of the high detail in the modelling, but thats pure in general i guess.

They're in the discord. Lmk if I need to post an invite

Is this available? I see links for it on reddit but after buying a membership here I don't see a download anywhere. (could have sworn I saw it before I joined)

I've been running LCS 2.1 with the latest C13 Beta 2.0. I don't see a huge performance difference in VR. No less fps anyway
Miker0n3
i hope you can find some amazing tweak for the rear facing cameras. LOL! But everything looks totally amazing! I wonder how evo is going to compete.
André Barranco
Hi! I just subscribed and I'm having a hard time finding the latest C13 download link. Is it the 1.88 or 1.83 (or something else)? If not 1.83, where's the link?
Assetto Corsa FL
Thank you, C13! The filter looks great!
Arda
when will this be availabe for tier 1
Fairtale
nice! is the download link already posted? I'm T1 patreon, not sure if I have access.
ZC
No idea about VR tbh. I assume the ratio is similar to base pure gamma and LCS. And i've heard base Pure LCS performs better in VR
VNX999
How is the performance in comparison to gamma, Especially in regard to VR?
Stefan
Hey, and where do we get that?
hanocq
yes !!!!

wheres the link to the 2.0?
