Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Beezer215]

Hehe, IMHO RSS are the McDonalds of mods. Very tasty with lots of colour and hype but not as nourishing as many of the home made meals lovingly prepared by various authors and groups here on GTP.

OK, I know there are plenty more be like:

Really though? GTP is just churning out RSS level mods and stuff? McDonalds?

 

[Alex Porter]

Well, I think I found one of the most overpriced Patreon subscriptions for AC mods.

Get more from The Assetto Version on Patreon

It's even more expensive than Jaskier's Diamond Pack subscription.

yes very expensive! 😮

Hey, I did say "IMHO" and I like McDonalds occasionally. You're welcome to have your own opinion and I'm not going to change it.

I never said "churning out" but yeah, really. Looking at it objectively, the 1970 mod has no genuine skins (I know they can't for copyright reasons but non-profit mods released here do). Instead, RSS rely on the community to do that for them. The shaders parameters used look pretty awful (does that look like a real car to you or a plastic toy?), encrypted model, physics seem ok but not amazing, sound is quite good but isn't going to send shivers up any spines. I can't see how this can be considered the best a mod can be? I don't hate it, I like it but I'm not a fanboi waiting lap up everything RSS produces.

I do like all the animations and aerodynamic options though. They've done a really great job with that.

Great Pyyer. Any news of Mugello? 😇

Hi.
Its on his patreon site mate.

This grand prix triple header (Spa / Zandvoort / Monza) takes all my time so Mugello will probably come shortly after that.

In August I worked on some other "old" track extension... It's almost ready too and will probably come by the end of september...
Stay tuned ! 😉

Could not fail to make the version of Copersucar F6A (1979), Skol-Fittipaldi F7 (2 versions) and Skol-Fittipaldi F8 (2 versions) (1980), Fittipaldi F8C (1981).

Now it remains to try to make the Copersucar F6 (one of the most beautiful cars in the history of F1, too bad the performance was poor.

Its OK Batman, there's no need to look so shocked. Last I checked, we were still allowed to respectfully maintain contrary opinions.

What does RSS produce? Maybe 2-3 cars per year? Am I the only one who feels there's been at least that many truly outstanding free mods produced by the community in that time? Which have given you the most joy I wonder? RSS produce fine mods to be sure. I disagree with the statement that they're near as "perfect a mod as you can get" and I get mocked with dopey koalas and have Batman on the verge of tears.

RSS release two/three cars per year, but they also work on custom projects for third parties, which can't be released to the public, so we don't see everything they work on.

I've only tried their GT-N pack and I very much like how the cars feel, the details, sound and so on, but that's as far I can go review-vise since I don't know much about materials, shaders and god knows what many obscure things AC related.

There is a lot of stuff which you don t know as well ,

RSS produce the 3d models scratch , LOD scratch by hand , etc this work is definitely not done on most of your free mods ( i would say 99.9 % of them actually ) and should deserve respect and support !

Try to make it yourself you will see the time needed !)

Sure, thanks Ben. I do know, and I supported them by buying the mod.

As I keep saying, I do like the F1970 mod and I'm not attacking RSS. I just don't agree with the view that this is as good as mods can get and I gave my reasoning.

I wonder why even bothering with this Simdream crap.

The point isnt about simdream, its about everything else this guy has uploaded my mods and the mods of this forum without credits, without changelogs, using sharemods to profit off our effort. This behaviour wasnt allowed here previously and that shouldnt change now.

I only referred to the video posted, which is clearly "made" by SD, called their "endurance legends" which is utterly garbage.

 

[Perico Lospa]

Having an opinion that RSS mods aren't the absolute best a mod can be?...

Of course, this is a free forum! Please, don't get me wrong, I don't want to convince anyone of anything, or disrespect you, it's just that I wanted to express my opinion in a funny way. And what's more fun than a cute koala gaping?

Sure everything can be improved, but I was surprised that you put RSS only at the level of McDonald's... I think that's not enough for them, they at least deserve a Gino's.

It still isn't, but the staff can't check every single post, which is why, now it's been reported, I've removed the posts in question.

@Beingy please do not post links to videos without context and ensure you credit the authors of mods and link to the original.

For people doing suspension animation with blender, what's the best way to do it? Using empties? Bones? Dir_?

I know that for 3DSmax there's a DIR_ helper tool but it doesn't exist on blender, and I don't really like the empty methode because I'm having a hard time trying to get one side of the suspension going up and down without the other side moving from its position

I'm really not sure what 70's formula mod you tried but the one I bought looks, sounds and drives like something I would consider top tier in the world of modding. And yes that is my opinion but I'm right and you're not (I'm joking about that last part of course)

I'm not an RSS fanboi in the slightest - I just happen to like some of their mods and they do things properly imo (which is more than I can say about a lot of modding groups - and yes that includes some of the mods here) I also don't get why you think a mod isn't worthy of being great because it comes with non-official skins. You even answered the reason why RSS don't release their paymods with official liveries and logos. It's because they can't - I very much doubt they are relying on the community to make skins for them.
Anyway as with all mods, some like it and some don't so it's all good at the end of the day.

 

[ClaudioWRC74]

pretty sure its SD
which was grabbed from Race07 or RF. Pretty sure it is Race07 as the author of the original mod has been quote vocal (rightfully so) of its unauthorized conversions.

yes thanks
I have already the Legend pack by SD

The IER P13c is likely the most realistic mod for sim racing as a whole. It is highly unlikely that will ever be topped.

The Indycars by iDT for rfactor (and the Epsilon Euskadi) should also be considered in this class

 

[OooAhh Cantona]

Gotta say, the Targa Florio (ablz_targaflorio73 not simtraxx) is sure looking good right now. I kinda gave up on the Targa after years of waiting for Simtraxx to get not very far. Just picked up the latest ext-config from r3b3ld3 and WOW. For an alpha it's quite excellent. Checkit!

What does r3b3ld3 ext-config do for Abulzz's Targa Florio?

 

[Fanapryde]

…/… using sharemods to profit off our effort…/…

LOL… I use sharemods myself too because it’s convenient. Iirc you get 0,001 eur for each download. So sharemods is surely the best way to get rich…haha

 

[sab001]

What does r3b3ld3 ext-config do for Abulzz's Targa Florio?

I didn't follow it all along to see what's new lately. At a glance, it's all the usual (what else, magic?)... lighting, grassfx, water. Have you been watching the progress? It was quite barren and primitive for years (the SimTraxx version). All of a sudden it's nice enough to go there! Proper road edges, better foliage, nice rock textures, houses/buildings (still WIP). Impressive. Time to learn the Targa!

 

[browser]

I set myself a goal to produce this. I got real close ... Needed stiff competition for the mini. 4K skins next and then Physics to match looks. Not sure I want to add the holes for real in the body. easy enough to do, limits skins.

Are Sim Traxx still in business?

 

[sab001]

The SimTraxx discord has some stuff, but I don't know about them in General. I bought some tracks way back, never got any updates without hunting them down and generally gave up on them. Their Targa made it up to v1.? finally but is still kinda lame. The Abulzz version leapfrogged them even in the first alpha I saw. It's progressed nicely (but might look more like the SimTraxx without the ext_config?)

 

[letsdothis97]

Are Sim Traxx still in business?

Not sure if its dead but they went through some problems earlier this year due to outsourcing for some tracks to be done and then not paying the correct amount. Sadly not the first time I've heard about this sort of thing this year. I guess traditional paymods are struggling for sales which is why so many are moving to patreon.

 

[sab001]

Nah... They just didn't maintain their user base well enough. Compare them to Sergio Loro's F3CT stuff. He keeps me up to date on updates, has good product (in a finished state) and lets me know when new stuff comes out. I have purchase most of his stuff and I'm happy with my purchases. Same with VRC URD and RSS. SimTraxx needs a business guy in the plan...

Hol' up, Safari. There might be some crossed wires here.
AFAIK, the Abulzz TF is completely unrelated to SIMTRAXX? I think it's scratch-made. I've been in his Patreon for quite a while now.
It would defo not be substantially improved by an ext_config file, given the love and care going into it.

r3b3ld3 is the (very nice) Real Monaco mod guy. Is he really doing ext_configs for Abulzz Targa? (I'm not in his Patreon or Discord, so dunno)

 

[sab001]

Nowhere did I say they were the same. I was griping about the SimTraxx version, which I paid for, and loving the Abulzz version. The base version is beautiful, but a good ext_config can make a huge difference... I didn't really compare it before the config, I was just astonished at how good it all looked (having picked up the config along the way, from a/his discord). (Just joined the Abulzz patreon )
