Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[ninezeroniner]

So...here's a new episode of the Audi Quattro V8 DTM V2 saga.

• Initially by SwissTony, reworked by NeilB1971, Beezer, and TMW Mods.
• Physics update by Riky_Sim: AWD2 system, Re-balanced aero, Tyres, Braking and Setup settings
• Graphics update by Lorelord: fixed LODs and interior shadows plus new VAO
• Graphic update by me: glass texture replacement via extension

Tested with csp 1.77 and free as a bird.

Have fun and make a lot of noise.

The race's length is 100 km.

Get a calculator machine and divide 100 by the track length. The result should be the number of laps.
Of course, you might have to round the number of lasps.
If you get 22.2022, round to 22. If get 28.8561, round to 29.

Always round up. If the length of the race is 100km, the first lap after elapsing 100km must be the last lap of the race.

There's a much better East London in rF2 released recently, but it's not converted yet. I haven't heard about any of the others.

Received permission from chickenDuck the author of the recent Aldo Scribante, Zwartkops and East London for rf2 to convert them to AC. Aldo Scribante is ready and will be released shortly. Zwartkops is on progress and already on AC on my PC. East London will follow

Wow, that sounds great! Yes, that's the version I was thinking of.

Many thanks for giving the South African tracks some love. Much appreciated.

 

[pugsang]

I can tell you that the author of them for rf2 has done a fantastic job and the tracks are not only visually great but are also fun to drive. So yes they deserve a lot of love also for AC. Just a little patience.

did you try Pescara Circuit?

I have to try it soon

Don't mean to be a pain but any chance you can package your skin updates with some kind of folder structure in future so it doesn't get binned for being named "skins" and me having no idea what it's for if i don't install it right away

Yeah, sorry about that, I know what you mean - it's caught me out before in the past as well. With Mont Tremblant I was testing a theory (which worked) and sharing it here was almost an afterthought.

It'd be good if as a community we could fix these 'telegraph wires' as we come across them and upload small skins. There are a hell of a lot of tracks that suffer from them, and it seems to be due to something squiffy in the way AC places DDSes. I'm not sure exactly what's happening but basically, it looks like the bottom few lines of horizontal pixels often get shifted (or copied) to the top of the texture, and if that texture happens to have a alpha channel giving transparency at the top (eg crowds, trees, bushes, treewalls etc) then it can appear as dark horizontal artifacts. Weirdly, they're more visible at distance and seem to fade the closer you get, but especially for the tops of treewalls forming a horizon framed against the sky they can be quite noticeable, especially in VR. I don't think it's a CM/CSP issue as they still exist in vanilla form.

There's a simple method to fix them though in case anyone out there wants to try it. It'd be cool if people could upload any fixes as they do them:

To remove 'telegraph line artifacts' (floating horizontal lines) above tree walls, trees, bushes, crowds, marshals etc:

1. Use CSP 'object inspector' to identify the offending DDS
2. Create a track skin and override the offending DDS
3. Open the offending DDS in PhotoShop (or your equivalent app of choice) from the skin folder
4. Create a new layer from the background layer (to make it editable)
5. Select 'channels'
6. Make the alpha layer (normally Alpha 1) active
7. Copy the alpha channel colour
8. Draw a two-pixel thick horizontal line using this alpha channel colour at the very bottom of the DDS
9. Save the DDS as [DXT5-ARGB-8 bpp-interpolated alpha] back to the skin folder, overwriting the original
10. Activate the skin in CM (click it on/off a few times) and hopefully enjoy the fruits of your labour
11. If faint lines are still visible when out on the track, add another one-pixel line of alpha to the bottom of the DDS directly above the others until the line disappears
    

Results can vary with a baffling lack of logic at times. For example, at Mont Tremblant, changing the bottom three pixels of the tree wall texture fixed the issue for almost all of the track but I eventually had to change the bottom 30 (thirty!) pixels to solve it at maximum distance. There might be other factors at play here and it might depend on all sorts of graphical/performance parameters, but at least it can be easily fixed.
If anyone knows exactly why these artifacts happen (as opposed to my whisky-fuelled armchair speculation) then please enlighten us - it might make fixing them even easier.

 

[Ismo Nurmi]

Maybe the weekly races on Arcis? This week they raced TN Clase cars at Santa Cruz. One particularly fun weekly was with Corvette C6R at Road America in heavy rain.
They just don't have enough drivers nowadays, that C6R wet race had 10 drivers on track.

Are these listed in CM online? Its so hard to find cool cars in servers and that sounds fun.

What you can do is raise caster. This will raise steering forces at the expense of raising the effects of higher caster. But we have what we have to work with. You can see the caster levels in CM Showroom by selecting suspension.

View attachment 1105814

Hmm nice, I'll try this one out. Although feels weird to modify the suspension's parameter just to get the a harder steering feel without emphasizing any input from the wheel itself. I have my doubts, but I'll check.
So far I've only been playing with the toe and camber, since you can get those from alignment sheets.

I'm not hostile to you. It's just that you don't even know what you are talking about. What I understood was a guy that has never driven the GT2RS saying that the car shouldn't behave like this and that the person that made the physics who drove the REAL car for 50k KM with actual DATA from a Pro Race Team has not a clue on how this car feels should feel like in real life.

You have to ask yourself one question, do you want to store real data within AC's files, or do you want the car to behave like the real one.
I doubt they destroyed their tyres to see how the car behaves when you floor it in 1st gear with your wheels turned, or risked their own lives to perform some manouvers that are way beyond reason. For example how do you test aero grip at 200 kmh other then taking a fast corner at that pace on the absolute limit. If you move through a corner which the car could take at 250, but you're only driving at 230, the behaviour won't be the same.
From record videos, you can see how the car behaves on braking, does the driver need to correct with an opposite lock during braking, does the back step out violently and suddenly, or is it progressive.
Let me give you an example how much detail I go into my physics mod. I search for revving videos and burnout videos to check what Hz the limiter is popping the revs back. I check donut videos to get a very rough idea how the differential works or if I'm lucky enough it is mentioned in a video (savagegeese has some excellent videos for this). I search for the steering ratio and then adjust the LINEAR_STEER_ROD_RATIO to represent the exact same steering input. For example I take the very same corner at the very same speeds on the very same line and see if my steering is turned exactly as the one in the video. When Chris Harris says he can drift the GT2 RS (non-MR version) on the top gear track in 4th gear by going up the gears while drifting, that's a great indicator as to how much grip there is.
I don't know everything in AC, my reply to Beezer215 proves that, but I can spot differences between AC and real life. When I say the grip is too much or the suspension is too bouncy I'm not saying it's a ridiculous difference, just that there is some inconsistency between AC and real life.
Taking the carousel is a really good indicator that the suspension is too bouncy, because I cannot take it as fast as in the record video. While on the other hand I'm 2 seconds faster then Christian Gebhart on Hockenheim (there's a pretty accurate version of hockhenheim, which I can't really remember who made). I mean how do you explain that?

 

[Valexdrift]

Is there some people who likes to do physiks and willing to help on gt4's / gt2's cars and more ???

Anyone have any replay cams for Legion's AVUS?

any chance that this will be converted to ac from rf2? to have a properly modelled dallara lmp2

Hi.
Would be possible to add a letter/letters (suffix/prefix) to the name of your mod?
That way would be no need to pass for all the process of creating a new car mod folder, since you are not posting
updated files, but a new car folder.

Thank you.

Always round up. If the length of the race is 100km, the first lap after elapsing 100km must be the last lap of the race.

Dude, we were not talking about F1.

ACTK Ford GT40 MKIV v1.0
reworked version based on assettodrive
cut several elements with blender to add new shaders
added function for CSP
physics slightly reworked
AO added to all skins

Thanks, very nice updates but the theatrical way the driver reaches for the shifter in Alex's original car has always bothered me in VR and it's the same in your update.
Long story short, after a fruitless search for a better shifting animation I eventually swapped the driver model, adjusted his scale/position, added a new shifting animation and had to edit the kn5 to move the gearstick 'into gear' to better fit his hand position.

A few other changes are listed below and it was far simpler to upload the entire car rather than a whole bunch of fragmented add-ons and changes.
It'll install as a new car if you want to compare/contrast with EASY's update.

From the UI:
Original car by Assettodrive
Updated by ACTK
Further updates by Mascot, Jan 2022: new driver model/shift animation; new kn5 with gearstick position adjusted; redundant race suits removed and replaced with 1960's kit by config; UI updated; 'sequential' tag removed (the GT40 MkIV is a manual 4-speed); folder size reduced by 110 MB

Edit: download link removed, @__EASY__ 's latest update offers a better solution:

Unless you don't try ripping it with Ninja Ripper, there's currently no other way of obtaining models from games such as that one. Wrong, it's actually really easy since these games are all Unreal Engine games. Looking around even for 2 minutes and you'll be able to find tonnes of videos and...

www.gtplanet.net

NOTE: Only VR users or 2D users with hands/arms visible might find this updated shifting animation beneficial. Having choice is good, no? To reiterate, this car does not overwrite any previous versions, so try it and keep/discard as you see fit.

the skins of the 720s fit it as it is just a copy of that.

The race's length is 100 km.

Get a calculator machine and divide 100 by the track length. The result should be the number of laps.
Of course, you might have to round the number of lasps.
If you get 22.2022, round to 22. If get 28.8561, round to 29.

It seems that in 2021 the race regulations had some modifications, due to Covid-19.
So, the race length changed from Km to time.
Race time now is 30 mints with 1 more lap.

First, get the average time per lap at each track (I suggest from the first fastest laps), divide 30 mints for that time, and you'll get the laps (since AC don't have the racing time feature).
If you get 22.2022, round to 22. If you get 28.8561, round to 29.

Are there any remasters/enhanced versions of the 1988 F1 tracks? (https://assettocorsa.club/mods/tracks/grand-prix-1988.html)
I know Reboot Team did a remaster of Imola from that pack. Are there similar enhanced versions of other tracks or do we know of any creators who are in the process of remastering them?

Happy new year everyone as I promised:

Here are the LMP cars: Credits we're already given in the discord if you're already in it. (ACFSK) And as I said The cars are coming to the GTP gang in the new year and here they are. As I said All but the Toyota TS050 is encrypted so you will need CSP i recommend having the latest one to use these cars and to clarify yes you can see them through CM showroom. Any bugs mention me in here and I'll get to the bottom of it.

Happy new Year from me.

This is the exact model from the 720 ACC conversion. Plenty of skins around mate.

All good mate. just one of those things that inevitably means a lot of these fixes or skins get put in the bin.

I'll make a copy of this power line fix tho 👍
