Pure 0.75 development preview (Patreon)

Please read the install guide! There is a new install method!!!

You need at least CSP 1.76 public (1819) or 1.77preview1

Pure 0.75 has done a big step. Some big problems are solved.

Pure now uses its own exposure calculation.
This works much better then YEBIS Autoexposure. CSP's Cubemap Brightness Estimation is now used to calculate to whole exposure. This is much more stable and does not vary with different cockpit shapes.
You need to use dynamic reflections! Pure Config will show you the needed settings.

VR users will have more joy using Pure. I was able to solve the problems with the initialization of Pure's scripts. I now own a decent VR HMD, so i was able to improve the pictures quality in VR as well.

The next big improvement for VR users, is the new "PP off" mode in Pure 0.75.
If Post Processing is deactivated, Pure is able to deliver nearly the same picture quality like with Post Processing (sure without all the fancy PP stuff).
But you now have even the exposure control in PP off, which is a novelty in AC!
Be aware - for many cars there is still no brake lights while day!

Older PPfilters are working much better with Pure 0.75. Their exposure is automatically adapted.

Another key feature is the better look of overcast sceneries. Pure adapts the spectrum and VAO to the missing sunlight. This results in a much more realistic look.

I updated the "pure scripting.pdf". If you are a PPfilter modder, there are many new accesses to Pure, like the new script UI elements.

PLEASE use the newer versions of Pure development, like Pure 0.115

The install archive includes new VAOs. You will be asked to install them.
Those VAOs are done with the new VAO bakery, which fixes an old problem of VAOs.
In dark places, like tunnels, ambient light should be very low or zero. In the current available VAOs, there is still many ambient light. The new ones have this fixed. This is the key to a much more realistic look.
The included VAOs are mainly for the Kunos tracks, plus some big mod tracks.

have fun,
Peter
