Hey everyone, I’m trying to dial in realistic graphics for Assetto Corsa with CSP + Pure, but I’m struggling with lighting (especially overly dark shadows and cockpit visibility).

My setup:

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

RAM: 16GB (single stick)

Playing at 1080p (can do 1440p if it makes sense)

What I’m looking for:

Realistic visuals (not overly cinematic/dark)

Good cockpit visibility during the day

Proper lighting and shadows (no crushed blacks)

Stable performance (preferably 80–120 FPS, especially in races)

I’m using Pure (latest 3.x) and CSP (currently on a preview build that supports rain),

If possible, could you share:

Your CSP settings (Lighting FX, Extra FX, Shadows, etc.)

Your Pure / PP filter settings (Gamma vs LCS, exposure, etc.)

Any specific tweaks for cockpit brightness and shadow balance

Screenshots or videos of your setup would be amazing

I don’t want ultra-max settings that tank performance — just the best balance of realism + playability for my hardware.

Appreciate any help 🙏

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to fix a weather issue in Assetto Corsa and I’m stuck. I’m hoping someone experienced with CSP / Sol / Pure can help

Here’s what I have:

Assetto Corsa (Content Manager)

Custom Shaders Patch (latest recommended version installed)

Sol AND Pure installed

Using rain weather presets (in CM weather selection)

MOZA wheel setup (not sure if relevant, but just in case)

The problem is when I select rainy weather:

I can hear rain sound But there is NO visible rain, No wet ground / no puddles, Track looks and feels completely dry

Only audio changes

CSP is installed and updated to recommended version

Sol and Pure are both installed

Weather is selected correctly in Content Manager

Tried different cars and tracks

Same issue everywhere

What am I missing that prevents:

Rain visuals from showing

Wet surfaces / puddles from appearing

Any step-by-step help would be really appreciated!
