Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[VR Sim Racer]

I am very intrigued. Appreciate, will check it !

Yeah, around 2m15s I try hitting the puddles but really you have to try it yourself to feel the effect.

 

[Col93]

still isn't car specific though, but I would think to be car specific, it would require a recoding of the game. Usually cant be bothered faffing around for something like that, that Im not going to pay attention to while driving anyway

I never asked for it to be car specific ? lol and I never asked you to do anything either..... as i explained you can make it all on one template to each garage board its been done before was just asking if 'Pyyer' could do it too add to the immersion of his Bathurst update doesnt matter if you see it while driving it adds to the immersion and why his stuff is so great.....

 

[Mikke73]

Try to keep your total car collection at under 200 cars or you'll suffer from choice paralysis.
Be brutal.
Only keep AAA mods.

Yeah right. Considering that the Kunos content is already 178 cars, I don't see how staying under 200 while keeping AAA mods would be possible.

Hi everyone

Is the GT Sport/GT 7 Willow Springs Version available for AC ? I mean 1:1 coversion like Lago Maggiore and Dragon Trail

Displaying car numbers and driver/team names is possible using CSP's SCRIPTABLE_DISPLAY feature, have a look at @gunnar333's Sachsenring:

199 minus 178 = 21.
So mathematically possible.
AAA is a subjective term.

thanks for pointing that out.

 

[MasterFocus]

Yeah, understood, that's right. What I meant to be the lack of rain puddles effect , which [rain] looks incredibly good, but hopefully will be made in future, if the game engine allows it

Btw, any idea, how to make snow "dust" white, instead of gravel color? I remember it was white in some of old build , but last versions seems like not to have

Here's some puddle in nordschleife on a cloudy day

That's true, but I'd hate to delete most of my RSS and VRC paymods just to get under 200 cars. And I also keep all the cars I've used in championships - AAA or not.

congrats for totally missing the point, sorry to have tried to have an input.
Being car specific from the AC crew files would be so much better than the faffing around the single way you are suggesting which requires changing the file for each different mod you might drive on the track.
The suggestion I had would be a better way for pyyer to do it than the way you suggest which means you would need multiple different files for different series, you'd only need to do them for the car skin, but I guess setting up your pit garage by changing files each time you change to a different car would add to the immersion, but far more frustrating IMO

 

[Masscot]

I think you're focusing on that arbitrary 200 number rather than the underlying message about choice paralysis if you have too many car mods, most of which you'll never drive again.
Believe me, I wish I'd instantly deleted a whole pile of substandard car mods on first download rather than keeping them as grid fillers, or because storage is cheap, or because they could be 'fixed', or whatever other mental gymnastics I performed at the time.
A streamlined collection of cars you'll actually use is far more useful than owning a lot of noise to plough through whenever you fancy a drive.
There's really no need these days to own car or track mods of sub-Kunos quality. The modding game has improved dramatically over the past couple of years.

 

[TonyBarracuda]

The latest CSP does have 'puddle physics'. I posted a video on it in the vid section here showing me trying it out in a Countach around LAC.
It makes a huge difference and the feeling is pretty much spot on.

watched the video, looks interesting. besides of puddles, does tha track also lose grip when rain if falling?
afterall, i tested by myself. latest csp and SOL , reboot suzuka track and street car on semislick tyres (as it should slide more when rains). Yes, there are puddles, but even tra track itself left as grippy as it was dry. before that i checked if setting are same as on some youtube tutorials.
Questions is am i doing something wrong or this rain effect is placebo? For my its hurtly question of rain in AC. You can really feel aquaplanning and loosing grip in ACC (but im not a fan of the ACC), and in real racing even if it s not a shower rain, semislick tyres lose theit traction drastically.... but non of these i noticed in ac .

I mostly agree with you, because I wish that I would have tested all the car and track mods right after I downloaded them. Now it's a bit tedious to test mod after another.
But no matter how many mods I have, I don't really have to plough thru anything when I fancy a drive. I'm a simracer, which for me means that almost all of my driving is somehow linked to a championship I'm taking part or will take part in. That's also a good reason to own all that sub-Kunos quality content, because I actually race them online.

I get your point though, and there are a lot of lower quality mods I'd move to my storage NAS if I didn't use them online.

OR

You have the addiction of a keeper, and your disks looks like an old farmer's garage, full of junk never to be seen again but "just in case".

Not talking about me, no i'm not. Definitely not.

One of the reasons I used to keep (for example) every GT3 car I could find was to race big-grid GT3 races at tracks like Spa, with every car different. So, classic case of the grid fillers. Maybe CSP now spotlights the deficiencies in a lot of these badly-made cars, differences that weren't as noticeable before. But these days it's harder for older substandard models to pass visual inspection and they can stick out like sore thumbs out on the track, and that's ignoring other issues like BOP. Nowadays I find it easier and more consistent to mainly run spec races, or using cars with equal visual standards and properly BOP'd.
Like you say, testing new mods can be a tedious process, but it's nothing compared to deciding which ones to delete at a later date.
My advice to anyone building a collection of AC mods - cars and tracks - is to be brutally honest with yourself about whether you're likely to use it again, and if in any doubt whatsoever - delete it. You won't miss what you never had.

Also a lot should be based on what you like to use in sim racing, while back i binned all of my F1 mods, including RSS ones.
Its mamothly dull in real life and even more dull in a game (IMO).
Obviously if your a massive fan then (royal) your opinion differs and I'm cool with that as you should be with mine.
As I've converted more stuff I've deleted other stuff i don't use, rally tracks all went for example.

Just do what you want basically based on what you like, and if you have the storage just store it up.
Every so often i bin a bunch of stuff but mainly as its a type of car i don't like, then there is stuff like the DRM mod that stays there because the cars are cool, but they always without fail disappoint me when i race them.
I really should delete them.

Something else i'm keen to do these days is like with rally stuff, i load up DiRT, or open free roam Forza horizon etc.
This helps for me, to remove stuff that is just filler that other games do better.
This struck me when i was converting a plane into AC... and then i loaded up MSFS.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...

(BTW only quoted your post masscot to keep some continuity)

Something wrong your end then, are you running 1.80preview115 and do you have extended physics ticked on the Drive screen?

I just did a lap of the Targa Florio with wetness at 25% and the car is skipping about heading down the main straight as it hits different depths of water breaking grip slightly in the deeper ones and chucking up more spray then too.

 

[noroardanto]

Yeah right. Considering that the Kunos content is already 178 cars, I don't see how staying under 200 while keeping AAA mods would be possible.

I don't race online and don't play career mode, so I deleted many Kunos' especially the Lotus cars. I also deleted many skins I don't like. With newer mods, a skin folder size can be unbelievably large. I saved many gigabytes just by deleting skins.
Edit:
Still, 200 is too tight for me. I do my best to keep it under 500.
I'm now at 450 cars, 61 tracks, 197gb total AC folder

champ i asked pyyer for a reason.
Ive done multiple 'TRACK' skins for Bathurst and what im after is the Garage boards above the garage which is in specific order for that specific track skin not the car.
Its far more easier and simple to have the correct garage boards in order above each garage in 1 single texture like shown in a previous example in the track skin folder rather then having to have 25+ single textures for every single car of each year you want to use.
So im sorry but your suggestion would be way more time consuming.

Your idea works ok if only Ai, but if you use say supercars and your own skin, it shows wrong in that pit stall even if you used a v8 skin the names on the board show someone else's name. You arr going to have fixed names on the pit garage, but you are likely to end up with a ford in a holden garage, or a bmw in audi garage... real immersive that is, may as well leave them blank.
if you only wanted pyyer to answer, why ask in public? Champ!

omg sure, i forgot to tick extended physics. Well i tryed it
on Street tyres it drive more or less as on the rain, but surface is too constant, how to explain, still not a dynamic. Yes, it is effect from puddles, a little. The tarmac itself more feels like very cold asphalt on dry winter day, then a rain surface.

But when it came to semislicks (Which meant to be sort of Advan 050 tyres for club and time attach events), even on the speed of 70-80 it felt like a 10 kg car with 200 hp on it, just sliding as on thin ice...it made just n% reduction of grip, non more. Still not realistic at all. But yes, agree, it is a progress really. Hope it will come to better condition later on. as it said in description, it is still experimental, but not worth of real experience for now. Ilya does amazing job anyway!

Each year its in Garage order of the championship. I couldnt care less where the cars are I know the player car is always at the start but say if i pick the car thats technically meant to be in the last garage that means that one would be at the start then the rest are in the wrong garage and the boards would be on the wrong garage all the way down the pitlane..... at least if you have them in the correct order the only out of place car would be the player car instead of the whole pitlane being in 1 garage further down anyway I only wanted it for the boards to be in order hence why i asked pyyer if it was possible and actually my idea would make even more sense because then you could have the player garage board as number 1 if you wanted too anyway. It would just be immerssive in the background for the track skin which is why i specifically asked "track" skin not car skins. Well bud thats exactly why i tagged him i didnt tag you nor did i ask for your input. Ive noticed further back you have been in arguments with people on here so im just going to leave it. Was just an idea to make the track skins more immersive.

Me I just kept the "real" liveries from Kunos and racedepartment one.
only VRC-RSS-URD-ASR cars are added and some legion cars plus some add-on from kunos such as 3 skyline r34, 767b, etc.

It's beetween 200-220 cars with grids that are more or less filled.

 

[Jodurson]

Someone knows what happened to Sim Racing System? On site for me permanent redirects to User Control Panel, in CM - SRS tab is also broken.

Any chance of shortening the file name (yzd_ferrari_488_gte_evo_2018_le_mans) ?
There are to many characters (max is 32 iirc), which prevents CM to record driven distance and max speed.

I've kept F1 cars in a separate folder on the unlikely off chance that one day I'll suddenly want to drive one, but I really should just delete any paddleshift versions as they're completely devoid of soul. The 70s/80s analogue F1 cars can be a lot more fun to drive.

 

[SpeedStar2000]

What's DPs?
Not to mention, Pontiac IMSA GTO Mod, 911 IMSA Mod (Perhaps there is simillar to 911 IMSA which is 961 LM and included within the original AC) and 240sx Mod weren't there.

Daytona prototype

 

[MrHunt]

I see AC as an playable encyclopedia for race and road cars (e.g. who was the fastest 1968 in Monza? or what famous car was produced from Mercedes in 1988, and i have the answers in my collection, the 3D model ready to look at and drive, the skin from the time, the drivers and all the information about the car.)

I work on them, upgrade them to real/stock,make, CSP, Shaders etc. and then they come into my Virtual Museum, I do play with them sometimes, but not really often, just to check the mod, I collect the only best version of every real model what i can find, and the hobby goes on, that's what AC is about for me, collecting cars that you can work on yourself, all cars that are encrypted are e.g. Tony Barracudas, TGN, boring 2000hp Japanese Driftcars's and much more. are not even downloaded for free because the quality is too bad or they are encrypted...sad
