Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[safi hellie]

RE: Super Touring Cars - I remember I´ve had a BMW 320i STW (NOT the one from PM3DM) on my SDD, with a proper interior and rollcage, where even the skins for the PM3DM car from Racedepartment would have fit, but I deleted it some time ago. Does anybody maybe know the source where this car had came from? I only find the PM3DM by searching but would rather use that one for grid filling.

It I believe would be the be_modding version, while back when they were kicking off about people uploading their mods here I mentioned that it was the PM3DM one with spoilers removed so they should calm down a bit, and they then claimed they had permission. That is why the skins fit.
Sadly i deleted it a while back too, didn't even register it has a roll cage.

Also the Volvo by PM3DM has double calliper's on front also so guess its normal?

I never noticed that about the model used.

On page one of https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/pm3dm-super-touring-cars.144486/ there is a video of the Volvo from '98 on stilts () which shows it as only having a single caliper. The car details for the PM3DM one lists it as 1999 but I'm struggling to find a picture of this car, stationary, where it's also stated that it's a '99 chassis.

The full car update is taking longer a little longer than hoped but I finished the Ken Block skin in case anyone wants it in the meantime.

Yes it does, it also seems intentional but I have no idea why they've done it. Couldn't find a single photo that shows it


Someone in the PM3DM RD thread made a personal edit to the car to finish the interior. Think it got shared about a bit. Would explain why the 'official' skins fit the one you had

Damn. I remember that I downloaded it from a site like assettoworld or similar but cannot remember exactly, at least I don´t find the original source. A pity.

Yep its odd then. I don't know enough about the tech side of it. Maybe it shouldn't be there? Maybe that Mondeo is using some of this mod?

I'm thinking of buying a gaming PC in order to have some more racing simulations to play than on my PS5. One of my reasons for that is surely AC. I loved the mods for GTR2 back then and wasted a lot of time to rebuild some championships.
Exactly that would be possible in AC. But what is scaring my off a bit is the AI. I will drive only against the computer and the main feedback is that the AI is pretty bad overall. I'm hearing that most of the time the leader is driving away at the front and the cars behind you are only driving their paths without trying to overtake.
I've found out, that ~5 years ago a new AI update has arrived, which has improved the AIs.
Is it really that bad today? Can you recommend it? Are they any mods which improves the racing against the AI?

I know that there are some newer racing simulations with a good AI (e.g. ACC, RF2, AMS2) but I think I will love the ability to use those mods.

Pitone appears to have made a variation that looked quite nice https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/pm3dm-super-touring-cars.144486/page-41

The mirrors are still wonky though.

the thing is finding the inertia correct calcul is not easy

What??? those can be found in autocatalog page usually, and my friend google can help a lot.

DTM was AWD, BTCC one was FWD.
I've not played Raceroom in ages but i remember thinking a while back that for me that did the FWD feel the best out of any sim.
FWD is a tricky beast to get right in sims.
A bunch are good though in AC. I liked the VRC tourers when i tried them though, seemed about right and felt ok along with he FFB.

Again like with everything AC these days so many variables that people could be using, something could be borking them for some.
Having said that for VRC to rock along after doing RWD and nail FWD super tourer in the first cut would be pretty amazing, so i'll guess some tweaks will be forth coming.

Someone asked for it on RD but I don't feel like releasing it there as it's not very realistic lol.

Selleslagh Racing Mondeo - BELCAR 2001.

Made a mix between the 2001 and 2002 car due to the lack of reference pics.

For reference this is the car :

So I mixed it with this :

Not very realistic but sod it.

No, the ST version is FWD, the DTM and the ITC is 4wd

Yeah, I thought too. But I found something in the 1994 homologation paper (page3), which is disturb me. (In the 1995 homologation paper it is not in.)

http://www.supertouringregister.com/documents/model/07/

I tried to search for infos, I only found that the homologation based on the "155 Silverstone" edition. It is hard to find, but I think only the Q4 has 4WD for street. And the Silverstone edition was FWD.

(But RWD behaviour is definatelly wrong for the physics of the F302's car.)


Ohhh... And don't forget the 155 GTA which was run in the Italian Supertourismo Championship (CIVT) in 1992, it was 4WD too!

 

[LusoUnlimited]

You should put correct inertia of the car, that affects a lot to handling ; now it's over a meter too long and only 1.2 meters wide. That thing is really too usual problem in many mods.

You're right, I didn't adjust that parameter. I will update as soon as possible.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!

What??? those can be found in autocatalog page usually, and my friend google can help a lot.

Inertia is linked to the mass of the car, and as far as I know, there is no parameter for the correct distribution of the mass by the cubic area of the vehicle, so the values must be assigned depending on the area where the bulk of the mass is located, that is, values in general 10-15% smaller than the external measurements of the vehicle.

The BTCC 155 was based on the road version 155 'silverstone' which came with attachable front lip spoiler and rear spoiler even with some extensions to make the rear spoiler higher...
Point of this was very evident in the first race as the Alfas destroyed the competition.
Much moaning later and they had to remove them.... Further reading is a must, really interesting story.

Hi yes the AI which was updated by the end of 2017 is massive improved.

If you set up und the AI correct and use Tracks with AI lines not older than end 2017, you can have a blast Racing against AI.

I see no other Sims providing much better AI racing.

For example using Open wheelers or lmp or other very fast Cars do use aggressivnes no more than 75 while driving very fast traccs like lemans or road america go even less.

Using touring Cars you can go up to 85-95 for example.
This can provide great battles even between the AI

But everything is also Mod or car spec depending.

I always have set the Variety at 1 to have close racing.

The AI strenght is a personal thing which you Must find out yourself.

For example the VRC CARTs are already hard at 90% while slower cars (most tourers or Vintage) are challanging at 98-100%

I already have about 55 created Championships and 3000h done racing AI

 

[Short_Circut]

No, inertia values are not the car dimensions. It's the total sprung inertia of the car (which is generally smaller than the car dimensions). Marneus_boss is right, it is not a simple thing to find out

Putting in the car dimensions as a start is better than those mods that have like super huge inertia boxes (especially those poor drift mods). But it is not the correct values

hello thank you for the links I would like to know just what DLC of the game Assetto Corsa Steam DLC store you need to be able to play with the Renault Laguna BTCC because it does not work for me or on Content Manager and JGSME

 

[Perico Lospa]

... As for the sliding of these cars, yes they were sliding. That's what happens when you put an extremely overpowered engine on a saloon body with saloon tyres. You don't have to believe me, see for yourself. And when you get a hang of how to drive them, you don't slide once in a 20 lap race:

...

Ummm... Watching that video, I think I would have made a good BTCC pilot... because that's exactly what I do when I race in AC; slide and crash all the time... 🤔

Seems to be using the sound from the MB 190E Evo II which is part of the Dream Pack 1 DLC. Don't know if using the sound from a different mod might help. If you're planning to use mods in AC, you should really invest the 6-10 € for the Ultimate Edition.

I'm an offline player, due to being the hostage of a small child, and Steam told me AC is the only game I played last year.

The AI is good - certainly won't blow you away but when you get the right combinations then it works very well. Of course, this being AC, you can tailor the cars' and tracks' AI files to your liking if you have time and inclination. And Content Manager makes setting up the grids a doddle.

AC has another 'USP' for its AI - it uses the same physics as the player's car. If you're used to a gMotor game (Raceroom, GTR2, rF2) or something like Forza or Project CARS, this makes a bit difference to the immersion level for me personally.

It's not good for multiclass or particularly long enduros though. Not yet, anyway...

Hi everyone,

I see that the free car mods for Assetto Corsa have improved a lot in quality, visual effects, animations, lights, dashboard, etc... some better and more detailed than the original Kunos models, it's impressive!

The community is amazing and I am so grateful for all the fantastic mods that have been released lately.

However, not all mods, I would even say, most, do not have the same quality with regard to the technical specifications of the vehicle. Even in the most basic elements, such as the weight, or the power curve, which results in performances that are quite different from the real thing.

For me to get a performance close to the real model is very important, as much or more than the visual aspect... that's why I started to adjust the data files of almost all the mods to be able to obtain models closer to real and also comparable to each other, which implies using similar criteria in establishing the technical parameters.

I decided to start making the result of my work available to the community.

So, here is my first work!
PORSCHE 959 - 1987
View attachment 1220338
"When it was introduced, the twin-turbocharged 959 was the world's fastest street-legal production car, boasting a top speed of 195 miles per hour (314 km/h).
During its production run it was hailed as the most technologically advanced road-going sports car ever built, and forerunner of all future super cars."

It's certainly not perfect, but it's much more real and guarantees greater consistency between different mods, from different authors.

Your comments and support will be greatly appreciated.

Hope you like and enjoy!

[MikeontheMic]

Hey guys, can I get some help as far as what is happening below? I'm trying to change out the logo inside one of my skins for the Kunos Praga R1 and when I save the file, my updates are being saved in a stencil of what was there previously.

I'm using photoshop and saving the file as "praga_misc.dds". I tried some of the other file names on the other side of the screenshot with no luck. The other image is a screenshot of my dds file and settings

EDIT: Never mind, I just learned about normal maps. For the sake of anyone wondering who has ever run into this, save the file type under the Format "BC3n" and change the Image Type to "Normal Map Object Shape". This will be saved as the "praga_misc_NM.dds" as designated by CM under txnormal.

 

[zoffty]

I'm never seen that particular issue. Are they installed on the same drive?

Yeah installed on same hard drive
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa
C:\Program Files\Simplygon\10

Download simplygon.zip from their website, extract all in simplygon folder in your pc replacing the existing files, it works.

I tried this, and unfortunately, I have the same result.
Licence is ok on the SimplygonLicenseApplication.exe, is working well in 3dsmax, but not recognized by CM .

Do I have something to link in CM? an ini to fill?

Thanks for your help!

Check the kunos pipeline, it says to use general vehicle inertia values.

 

[LusoUnlimited]

Maybe they want to simplify the matter, because one thing is what they say, another thing is what they do...

But that's ok, we're talking about a small difference, in the end it won't have a significant impact on the driving feel or performance.
