Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

I got a similar problem after editing this line
BIASES = 0.02, 0.1, 0.5, 4 ;; hidden
in the smart_shadows.ini file itself (I edited it so that the shadows had the correct indents from objects) after that I had these stripes on the car.

I have not messed with these values. Did you manage to get rid of the stripes in the end ?

initially, I did not have them. they appeared after editing the specified line. then I returned the changed values in this line, to the default values, and the stripes disappeared again

 

[StoffelWaffle]

Milestone tracks are impossible to port are they ? Shame. Northwest 200, Ulster GP, Garda Lake and Southern 100 – Billown Circuit would be great additions to AC.

Wish we had the AC equivalent for us bike nerds.

Another weekend has arrived, time to use f5 every 10 or 15 minutes waiting to see if the team brings us more toys...

You don´t have to wait long mals10:

BIG UPDATE of the big list! Nearly 300 more entries thanks to friendly GTPlanet member Breathe who compared his list with mine.
New tracks are mostly from Legion, ACTK, e-Prix by shin956, acu F1 tracks updates, various from racedepartment and surely some rare stuff you have never seen before.

Happy weekend!

Interesting...
I checked my values (have not changed them so they should be the base values):
BIASES=0.02, 0.1, 0.8, 4 ;; hidden

BIASES=0.02, 0.1, 0.8, 4 ;; hidden

yes, for 1.74 this is the default, in 1.73 it was
BIASES = 0.02, 0.1, 0.5, 4 ;; hidden

Thanks @macko68. Maybe i tag @Blackcelica to kindly ask if he could check and maybe work on this version for his new upcoming updates so maybe we will finally have an “all in one version” with all it is needed. Great community job as always thank you guys! @KevinK2 @TheRealCeeBee @macko68

P.s i tag also @Ofitus21 that also could be involved in this community job for Monaco, as he did excellent job with pool section in past, maybe now with a dialog with @Blackcelica to avoid billboards problems we could reach the target!

I know what you will say that this is another hundred version of Monaco but in this one you have: chicane fix and Slider tweaks. Incorporated also latest Blackcelica skin and Kevin and RealCeeBee ext config tweaks.
This is in aim to work out the best version. Deleted my AI for new chicane (some crashes), so new one would be welcomed

Big Sol update just out

Lots in the change log, including mirage effects

It's insanely good, the new customer weather planner is excellent.

Help!

I'm re-installing AC and Content Manager (paid) on a new Win10 machine, and drag and drop isn't working... I can't get any cars/tracks installed... I've got UAC turned off, is there anything else I'm missing ?

 

[Blackcelica]

The Monaco Skin, happened to notice this while I was setting up the video screen thing, the TAGHEUER sign is a bit wierd.



View attachment 1012256

Yes, it's the only one. It's a repeat of another tag texture from the start straight which displays correctly. That corner has been altered before at kn5 level and since then that texture is messed up. It's on my snagging list of fixes.
EDIT: Now Fixed

Hi all,
I have a force feedback problem which I am struggling to solve. I usually drive vintage sports and GT cars in AC, and the FFB feels great, substantial, informative and smooth. I have a G25 wheel and I use the FFB app and the recommended LUT by Rasmus P. Occasionally, for example during the F1 season before races, I like to jump in a Formula 1 car, or I might try to beat Damon's 57 second lap record at Thruxton in his FW15C. But as soon as any post 1990 F1 car (I've tried RSS 2021, 1990 V12 and ASR cars) gets above a few miles per hour I lose all FFB: the wheel just spins freely. It's like having a 1990s elastic band wheel without the elastic band and seems deeply unrealistic. I have never driven a Formula 1 car or indeed any open wheeler, but I understand the steering can be quite heavy - it certainly was in F1 cars from the 60s and 70s. I have tried whacking up the FFmult to 10.0 or more and it doesn't make any difference. Can anyone suggest a solution? And while you are at it, explain to me what Steer_Assist in the car.ini does?
Thanks in advance!

When restore the game w mods, you have to do this, install game then launch vainilla game then install CM and CSP, and now yes drag and drop moded content.

I've made a quick FPS rate test.

Is amazing the new Sol 2.1.
With the 2.0.1 I had a drop of more than 50% FPS just putting clouds on the sky.

New sol minimizes it a lot.
Good stuff

 

[n_chiri]

I have a question for car modders in general.

Why are car mods moving away from blurred rims? Personally I like them, but I suppose there must be a good reason for this.

 

[Badgerman]

Thanks for the reply - that's exactly what I did, Vanilla AC first, followed by CM then and CSP. Odd it's not working for me then...!

Do you have exactly the same folder structure (same drive for Assetto root, Documents folder, etc) as on the old system?

I think I once read that this is important.

 

[mfods]

Just tried macko68 version.
I must say that in terms of precision of billboards and details, i prefer @Blackcelica one, with the @KevinK2 and @TheRealCeeBee add-on is almost perfect.
Yes, I know that this means we lose the swimming pool chicane section modification, but overall result is so good that you can easily forget about this lack.

Maybe, if @Ofitus21 want to work on the last @Blackcelica version (in which I strongly recommended the add of @KevinK2 and @TheRealCeeBee) to add his modifications (without messing up billboards and other elements) is best, otherwise we are already fine.

I would recommend installing the FFB clip app from Atle Dreier found on RD:
https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ffbclip-app.7910/

If/when you lose FFB (it sometimes happen with certain car/track combo’s, you can instantly correct it by clicking the Dynamic on/off button twice.
It's also very useful to change the FFB strength on the fly (values are saved per car).

 

[Badgerman]

No, different file structure, as it's an entirely new machine with different drives installed. But it's all a new install, I didn't copy anything over, everything re-installed fresh. Thanks for the help!

 

[TimLotus]

If/when you lose FFB (it sometimes happen with certain car/track combo’s, you can instantly correct it. I can’t remember the name of the button to hit (not on my rig atm).

Thanks. I am using that app. I will have a look for the button. Actually I can restore a more realistic feeling in the F1 cars by putting the gain in AC back up to 100% (as recommended by RasmusP I usually have it set at 50% in the AC settings in CM and 100% in the FFBclip App, which feels about right for most cars). An FFmult setting of around 6 seems good for the F1 cars. But if anyone has more advice I would love them to give it.

You are right but personally, i don't like the new weather plan system so switched that back to 2.0. Config app is also a bit problematic. Anyways the FPS drops at night are gone, it doesn't ruin your performance anymore when it is raining, it looks nicer, etc... Thanks to Peter!

 

[n_chiri]

Can anyone send me a copy of Sol 2.1 please? I just can't possibly download anything heavy from RD.

OK, I just added something to my post. It's the Dynamic on/off button. Hit it twice and you're good again.
Can't advise about the strength since I have the DD version installed, which obviously differs.

I agree. I will update my initial link to it to include these changes so far and update that yacht.com logo part. If I had not even done the skin there would be loads of you with multipul versions of it still. I try my best to get it out before the race which I think is a nice touch for the community, however moving forward I think the best coarse of action is to get an agreement as to what is the most common best used version of a track and then I skin that version to the closest race spec that I can get it. I was unaware of all the slightly different Monaco versions and it seems to have caused more trouble than it's worth, especially when some PM messages are more nasty than critical. Well Paul Ricard circuit is coming up soon and there are loads of versions of that, some with extra grandstands, some with a flag pole here, some with a video screen on jacuzzi corner etc etc. If I skin one, someone will moan and want the other one, or that one. So I think it's best to agree on a version first, do some edits like rainFx etc etc and then chuck it to me and I'll skin it with all the love and pride I put in to stuff. Downside is it might not be ready for the actual race weekend that way.

 

[Jdramirez]

Does anyone know what track is this with the idol things in the background? I asked the user who uploaded the car skin, but hes not responding.
