Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[ApexVGear]

Hello.
I have tried RSS F2 2020 and it's just perfectly flowered.
Found it's two mods for F1 2021 - by RSS and by ACFL. Who have tried both, which you consider to be better?
PS im not big open wheel specialist

RSS produces very high quality mods, their physics are very good for simulated cars, and I thoroughly enjoy all their mods, especially all their open-wheel formula cars. Their work is definitely qualified as "pay" content, and their prices are very reasonable. They also listen to feedback, incorporate the latest improvements, and release updates if needed. They maintain a customer database, and send out update emails with download links.

I tested the ACFL F1. I can appreciate their work, and that they offer it for free, but from what I can remember, the modeling was not as good, and the physics weren't realistic (unless I'm confusing theirs with another mod). The cars were too fast and too easy to drive. It wasn't long before I returned to the RSS mods.

very strange no idea why, I will keep testing, but can't see what you guys are getting weird.


No worries, I'm just interested in why we are getting such different results.

Maybe try deleting those .bin files in the ai folder- I have no idea what they actually do, and they are not necessary. I asked damone to remove those before uploading, but it didn't happen.

Beyond that, my apologies, I've run out of answers- may be someone smarter than me can figure what's going on, sorry man.

Just to follow up on this, i delleted the track from my Assetto Corsa folder and then manually installed it again but not through content manager. And then removed all the bin files and all looks good now. Also i noticed it says 43 pits but only loads 28 cars.

@SillyBillyP
Oh, I deleted those bin files too and I can confirm the problems at the race start are gone now, thank you!

Oh, no, please don't apologise. You keep bringing excellent AI files to AC. I really appreciate it (as I race offline all the time against AI and like it to be at its best).
It is weird. A few other GTPlaneters have posted , in the thread, about their AI experiences on the F1 track... and it seems about half of us have problems and half of us don't.
So I'll try removing the bin files when I'm back at my PC to see what that does.
Thank you for looking at this

For the RTM/Ex-Lax-Mods or whoever they are version, I edited the drivetrain.ini file (data.acd attached) to support manual shifting. It's shifting animation grabs the knob well, but it's the basic forward shift movement of most mods.

I wish the skins would be transferrable as well, but they're not. I like this body and wheel color combination for Alfa's. This needs to be added to Jasper Opperman's version.

My skins are based on the real cars But you can make your own skins with the CM paint shop so you can re-create this skin if you want!

Sorry guys I forgot to release here again but here it is!

!!!! RELEASED !!!!
!!! Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale Zagato !!!
Sorry for the delay but I saw Exmods released a version and I'm sure my version is better so here it is. Since it's a FM4 model the interior isn't great but I tried to make it look alright with VAO and a CSP effect for the gauges. 6 of the 9 colors are real existing specs I tried to re-create as close as possible the others I filled in with Alfa colors I think looked good on the car.

Specs:
BHP: 600
NM: 760
No ecryption
CSP is required for the car to work best but it should work without

Thanks for looking at this, Kevin. Sorry for all the hassle.

Now I'm starting to doubt the reality before my eyes though.

I downloaded via your link, deleted the aa_ims file I had in my Tracks folder, then tried a race with Kunos Lotus 3-11, and it's the same problem. So, I then did it all again, deleted the aa_ims file, and re-installed the version from the link you gave and it's still the same

Could someone else, reading this thread, please try the Indianapolis Motor Speedway F1 Course to check the AI?

Yes, I have the same problem with de AI in Indianapolis F1 layout. Tested with Formula hybrid 2021 and Ferrari 355 Challenge.
In F1 REVERSED is ok. The problem is in F1 course no reversed.

Edited: I have deleted the .bin files in the ai folder and now works ok. Problem solved.

There is no "REAL" F1 layout for Assetto Corsa? Because in this version there are a lot of good(!) layouts, but these based on the latest version of track.

From 2000 to 2007 (when the F1 arrive here) there was two harpins before they turn to the oval section.
Check here:
https://www.racingcircuits.info/north-america/usa/indianapolis-motor-speedway.html

I'm looking for this version! (2000-2007 Road Course)

Damone knew about it as during development we provided him the info. This is however bigger 3d job in Blender. If you feel you can manage have it a go. I would also welcome additional F1 layout to this great track.

Just had a quick mess about and did this - Is it the sort of thing you wanted?

they look a bit flat due to the pic being taken in the showroom but you'll have to try them in game to see how they come out

I can send em over if you think they look ok

You could change the map (how it shines) for a specific skin by placing a different rim map file in the skin folder. Think it's called rim_map.dds or something like that. You can check in the showroom

This may sound like a lot of work upfront but actually once you have set it up it is super low maintenance and you will have a very structured and easy to navigate place to show your work and if you want even let people give feedback:

- create your own discord (super easy and free - it takes maybe 10 minutes to set your own discord up, instructions are easy and are straight on their website
- host all the mods you want on one of the big hosting sites (use whatever suits you best - Mega, Google Drive, Share...something...something, ...)
- post your mods within the appropriate channel with a preview image and the download link
- share a discord invite (which you should make perpetual) in your signature here on the forum

LOL I’m a grown adult, I’m not going to set up a discord. People hate having to go into a chat room application for teenagers and use an obtuse search filtering function to download things. Discord is the worst “content distribution” platform imaginable.

I like the look of the RTM wheels, if that can be replicated without too much trouble.

Woah.
I am sorry for trying to help.

That is so weird, I was really grasping at straws with that suggestion. I pretty much keep all the ai behavior stuff off, but this is interesting.

 

[gutbomb]

Don’t take it personally. My beef is not with you, it’s with the use of discord to distribute content.

The content being discussed in this case is short text reviews, not actual track downloads anyway though, which seems even worse to be distributed through a chat client.

Can't you just copy the gold wheel texture and properties directly from the RTM car?

Same here. Deleted bin files and no more start issues on the F1 course.
Good times.

I find the ACFL car easier to drive and faster, generally prefer ACFL for the individual car model. But this season they are running one model and looks more like the 2021 car. RSS is higher quality in all aspect except that it looks like a generic Formula car.

Yes, me too
I deleted the bin files and all is well now.
Thank you for working out what the problem was.

(and now we know that those bin files can have an effect. Wow! What a wonderfully complex world we live in!)

When you spin out your car from gearing down to quickly, you open it and use it to capture your tears of shame..

Finally, the right answer! And the reason I was drawned to it without even knowing what it was.

Well that was an interesting start to the season
Just added the RSS FH 2021 F1 Season custom championship if anyones interested
If you have CSP preview 1.74.33 the extended physics will make a difference if driving in the rain with slicks compared to wets (i can vouch for it )

hey mates , so for some reason i cant edit the dashboard cam anymore with the developer camera tool ...
is there a solution for this?

 

[gutbomb]

I know I said a couple days ago I wasn't interested in making tracks anymore but sometimes I come across a track that's almost great but has a few flaws. This one is one of those tracks. It's Maspalomas. It was originally made by Cranck, you can get it here: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/maspalomas-circuit-gran-canaria.7493/ . It's a bit overexposed, but I think that's just due to how AC has changed over the years with CSP and Sol being so popular now. Also the pit lane didn't work.

Then ACTK took a stab at it (get it here: https://sharemods.com/4uin33x8jtbg/maspalomas.7z.html )and improved the look greatly by adding grass and toning down the brightness, but in my opinion it was a bit too gloomy looking, and the trees looked weird (the normals weren't pointed up so they just look flat):

I decided to have a go at it and added starting lights, made the pit lane lights work at night, brightened things up a bit so it actually looks nice and sunny, and I added rainfx. Oh and the pit lane works now.

Due to the normals for the trees needing to be fixed I had to mess with the KN5 so I am releasing this as a standalone instead of an update. It has it's own folder name so it won't overwrite anything.

If anyone's interested here you go:

Weird! I re-uploaded it to google drive instead and updated the post.
