We, the hoarders, never will be understanded. And I understand why: we spend so much time on our throne that we barely change our clothes nor shave, smell bad and look at others with a mixture of distrust and disgust (as Fry in his famous meme) when they tell us "Damn, get up from the cockpit, it's dinner time!" We are the pariahs of simracing...

By the way, I'm one of those hoarders who tries each and every mod I download, at least for a couple of laps, to see if they're worth saving, although I'm not too picky either: 2TB of storage on a PC dedicated on exclusive to Assetto Corsa allow me to store some garbage without it being a serious problem.

On some occasions I have already commented that my idea is to have the most complete possible Assetto Corsa so that when in the future we being isolated by a zombie epidemic, I be able to play without rest, comfortably sitting waiting for the end of the world.

1602 cars, 889 tracks and sloooowly ascending.

 

[puerk0spin]

2710 cars, 1024 tracks from here. Time to erase some garbage? Maybe. 11 different versions of Escort MK2? Surely.

 

[JuanAc]

Is there any way to know how many Cars we have counting all the skins of each one?

 

[puerk0spin]

Is there any way to know how many Cars we have counting all the skins of each one?

That would be mad, but I think that the only way is counting mod by mod. Or searching someway how many folders are in every Skins folder. Not brilliant in computer affairs, so I can't help with that. But only counting RSS 996, RSS Viper, 993 GT2, V8Corsa supercars and some other one maybe still more than 1000 cars.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

If you have 2000+ cars you don't have any. With all these cars how can someone learn the how any of them drive, what they sound like, or how they look on the track. You have to spend some time behind the wheel to decide if it's worth keeping. I don't understand the car collecting crowd but hey, people are different.

Sitting at 2800 cars and 800 tracks here, and I can honestly say I have driven every one of them for at least 1 lap. It's standard procedure for me - every week I drop by this thread, download and unpack stuff (manually I might add, so I can edit the names and tags according to my preferences). Then drive the new cars around Silverstone National, and drive the new tracks using the McLaren P1. That way I have a stable baseline to compare cars and tracks. Cars that drive badly are deleted. Tracks I'm a bit more lenient about quality because the filtering is done during the download process. I already have an old install of rFactor where I have every real world track up to 2016, so on AC I just got the tracks that I like + new ones + good fictional ones.

With most cars/tracks I probably never touch them again, but at least I have experienced it albeit for a short period. And if in the future I ever have a need to drive a certain combo, it's always ready to go. AC is basically like a curated library of driving experiences for me. A librarian isn't expected to know every word in every book, but they would know what books are in the library and knows where to go to find certain information. All the cars I find interesting and every kind of road from real life and fictional (whether scratch made or converted from other games) all in one convenient launcher.

 

[Fanapryde]

After all these years and regular purges, I have:

• 1006 cars 'stored' of which 257 are actually installed (almost exclusively race cars, of which only 6 (classic) open wheelers).
• 753 tracks of which 489 installed.
• Tried each and every track that was made for AC and was available, same for race cars...

Next 'purge' incoming

 

[Kelpy D]

If having difficulties, let us know, we are all here to help each other.

Wow @RicME85 6000 cars thats I think a new record.
I do have 400 cars and exactly 199 tracks, mostly before 1972 racetrack genre.

I got 6,637 cars, and 1,502 tracks. Quite a lot of unique models, although I still have to purge some "duplicates" while hunting for more unique trims for each production car that I have a la Gran Turismo 6.

 

[Vintagedriver]

just did a check on my computer.
40 championships, but on the other hand, I did delete the whole Kunos career and Kunos single race files.
1009 cars with a lot of grid fillers. Did deleted lots of 4k from grid fillers, the non historical, clown skins and visual bad made for VR application, skins.
199 tracks, still in the reducing phase, why keep bad made non historical tracks or ugly converted tracks.

95% is of this collection is about the period before 1972. Even then I think it’s to huge. 🏳️

Is it possible that I'm the only disturbed one in the whole internet that are interested in create the liveries of those infamous Le Mans cars?

Sorry but... what's the most updated version of the TVR T400R? I think is this one...

TVR T400R beta 0.1b

Minor fixes:

1) Corrected the name of the main folder with only lowercase letters;
2) Slightly improved Lods with associated flickering problem resolved;
3) Increased engine damage threshold from 7500 rpm to 7600 rpm;
4) Reduced gear change up time. According to what I saw in an onboard, the car does not allow flat foot shifting and requires heel toe when downshifting. Now you can change a little more easily;
5) Fixed a mesh disappearing when cockpit_lr is loaded;
6) Fixed wobbly brake discs on the right side;


I recommend a clean installation.


EDIT: For those who have already downloaded it: re-download it from the same link above to fix the brake discs.

... but the links are dead. Is there any kind soul who can re-upload the updated mod again, pleeeease? 😚

 

[StoffelWaffle]

723 cars (about 300 are mine), and... 192 tracks.

Who needs more than that really ? I purge my car folder every 2 months or so, sometimes I download a car and don't even drive it.

 

[oigolue]

Nice but on my old computer, it will looks like this

Some tracks and stages look like this with my pc that can run AC at max at 1400p, so its still a win for you

 

[Mumaransa]

Had a balls up with my AC folder, I did a OS reinstall the other month so transferred everything from my PC to my Unraid server. I finally got around to sorting out my AC install the other day only to find that once I moved all the files back to my PC something had gone wrong somewhere between the two network transfers and I lost either a buttload of car ui json files or the main .kn5 files for cars.
Didn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason for which files were missing from which cars. Oddly it seems like my track folder was unscathed.

[...]

The same thing happened to me a few months ago on a W10 fresh install after adding a second NVMe drive. I cloned the AC folder from the SSD to a partition on the new NVMe using the usual Linux tool. All went well, no errors... Until, a few days later, I tried to launch the game. Same mess, json and kn5 missing all around. I still don't know what happened, maybe permission problems...

Which? Where? I wait for our mirror's friend to update the 2pack.

 

[Junshen Wu]

Shanghai_v2 has been added short and rallycross(fictional) layout.
Other updates:
·New collision physics for all layout.
·Fix some model bugs.
·New grass and ads texture.
·New crowds.
·New ai for tourism layout.
New stand B is not included because of no good 3d model.

[NivekBS]

We have this topic regulary again ...

I run about 450 cars on about 220 tracks. Only cars/tracks which i need for certain championship.

So no normal road cars, no drift, no rally, no super/hyper cars, no bikes, plaines, whatever ... no fictional circuits... I am definetly not a collector, all cars i have i want drive at some time.

 

[dede-driver]

Hello everyone.

Can someone explain me how to get rid off "blurry" windshield from inside views on some car mods?
I hope you see what I mean.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

 

[oigolue]

A bold statement, I can like that.

Well, there isn't so much competition haha. EA WRC stages are decent but they look souless and arent even so good, the only other competitor is RBR and there are incredible looking tracks, but nothing like the work of superstage imo. Obviously the fact that RBR is still a 20 years old game is relevant, no matter how beautiful and well made are the stages

Use CSP's WindscreenFX feature. You can remove dirt and control blur with these settings. CM>settings>CSP>windscreen fx

 

[Schmawlik]

I actually prefer the steering feel of this mod over yesterdays released VRC paid mod. for me VRC mods often feel too light at low speed. Both are sensational mods overall, but neither got the sound right, where the Batteries kick in at 200kmh. one of the other paid mods got that right.


i dont agree with that. i find the yezhrod has better steering weight/feel. i find the trr mod (is is stolen?) has the best sound with correct Electrical sound coming in at 200kmh. Also vrc doesnt have real textures (now on overtake someone else uploaded real skins). i havent driven long enough on either 3 cars to say which is best in physics yet, all 3 are great out of the box, and i havent played around with car settings yet. Some people bow down to RSS and VRC mods when they havent even tested all the cars... it gets a bit annoying, because there are other modders out there that often make a car better than their version, and all mods are just guestimations of the real cars in how they drive. So each mod is worth trying. saying they are obselete is just dumb sorry.

Yezhrod's 499p uses some lua code taken from the VRC 9T8, and the script doesn't even run at all since there is an error in the code that causes it to fail immediately. One of the reasons people like VRC and RSS cars is because they know they hand make everything they put into the mods, unlike both other modders mentioned in this post.

Supporting other modders of course should be encouraged, but not when they are using ripped models and copy paste physics.

In regards to your ffb issues with the P49, it's probably a setting on your end that needs to be adjusted.

Didn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason for which files were missing from which cars. Oddly it seems like my track folder was unscathed.

Anyway, I have decided to start fresh rather than trying to fix 6000 cars.
Do we have a list of recommended/essential car mods? VRC, RSS, URD is a given. I'm thinking of installing Rainmakers championships again and using that as a base for what mods to grab.

with well over 8000 mods in existance , I think it's very hard to maintain a list of essentials...
If I take the car mods that I have given 5 stars and fav+ , it's over 500 ...
If you narrow it down to a class , era or whatever, I'd be able to give you a list of recommendations... but I doubt you would have use of a list of 500+ carfolder names...

My "thing" is esp cabrio (roofless) cars, since I love the feeling better in VR when I can see all the sky (don't know why, maybe I'm claustrofobic a bit)
some of my absolute favorites are:
2000SL Club
ANT Mods - Porsche 911 Speedster
Ariel Atom 300 Supercharged 2011 by 101Creative
Caterham 420R 2020 by Ben O'Bro & JackCY
Courage-Oreca FLM09 Chevrolet by F302
Porsche 718 Spyder RS (982) by FX
also many of MNBA / Adriaan Suy are sublime (esp. Porsche Carrera GT !)

but this list is by far complete! (I don't mean to offend anyone who has a 5 star mod and didn't get mentioned )

If having difficulties, let us know, we are all here to help each other.

Wow @RicME85 6000 cars thats I think a new record.
I do have 400 cars and exactly 199 tracks, mostly before 1972 racetrack genre.

nope, 7229 cars here... driven them all (few laps be it for most), and rated them all and in notes I put some of the + and - about the car... for example :
ffb+
sound+++
handling+
interior+
stunning!
sense of speed+
immersion+
rainfx+
shadow on windshield-


eg. sound+ means I liked the sound... and the car gets at least 3 stars if it has a sound+ ... even if other parts are -
so then later on when I do a replace sound, I can filter on "note:sound+ & y<2010 & y>2000" for example , to find that perfect donor mod with great sound for a 2009 car which I like very much except the sound.
So you see it is not so dumb to keep some mods even though you will prob never drive them again...

I do regularly purge the mods that received less then 3 stars, otherwise I would be well over 10.000 car mods now and my SSD would not take it (even w regular Compactor compress).

If you have 2000+ cars you don't have any. With all these cars how can someone learn the how any of them drive, what they sound like, or how they look on the track. You have to spend some time behind the wheel to decide if it's worth keeping. I don't understand the car collecting crowd but hey, people are different.

I see your point, and indeed we hoarders probably don't spent enough time racing 1 single car to fully get to learn and enjoy it...
But I guess we just love the collecting and modding or skinning part, more then actual racing...

For me it's the "the next one I download could very well be even more enjoyable then the 200+ 5 star ones I have already" ...
Crazy I know... I should just enjoy those I have already , but I just can't resist it.

 

[dede-driver]

Thank you for your answer, but I already try that and it didn't fix the "blurry/stange" effect. Anyway the Extra blur effect is already set to 0%. It only appears on few car mods, I don't think a general setting can help because it applies on every cars and it is not necessary.

 

[Sup_hunter]

7151 caes here 😶‍🌫️

Have some alfa romeo cars from 1980 like alfetta , giulietta , alfasud .....

Interesting that you had the same problem. Maybe as you said, its a permissions thing. Next time I will make a disk image rather than moving files and folders.

TVR T400R BETA 0.4 → https://mega.nz/file/alYAUDLT#BrtfuAJwOcG7eQKsgb2epCenOzamteiW-vKyCz69EwM

↓ CHANGELOG ↓

• Updated gearbox change up/down time
• Updated default brake bias value
• Updated brake disc mesh names in brakes.ini
• Updated tire dimensions
• Updated skinnable mesh (glass + diffuser)
• Updated side lights
• Updated stickers

• Reworked skins
• Reworked air intake
• Reworked steering wheel
• Reworked rollbar
• Reworked fuel tank
• New headlights
• New digital GTP BOX V.1 included
• New lods
• New brake discs
• New front/rear tow hook
• New optional caliper textures
• New Avon tire set (as a base I used the Huracan ST slicks, rain texture included)
• Fixed brake caliper dimension/position
• Fixed rim size
• Fixed tyre size
• Fixed missing tyre valve
• Fixed audio pitch
• Fixed the holes in the mesh that allowed the light of the headlights to be seen at some angles.
• Fixed fuel tube mapping
• Fixed air tube mapping/texture
• Fixed exhaust mesh
• Fixed exhaust flames
• Fixed brake lights and tail lights position (inverted)

Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to thoroughly test the car on the track in this period due to lack of time to spend behind the wheel, the physical corrections made are in fact minimal. The next update will focus mainly on physics. Unfortunately I haven't found a solution for the driver position/steering animation yet, I think it's a problem with the blender plugin. To make the dash visible in VR, I created a mixed steering wheel between a round and a flat bottom. Furthermore I created the GTP BOX V.1 which shows at least the engine rpm and the current gear. Having corrected the size of the tyres, the car now tends to lose traction a little more easily and at low rpm the car rotates more smoothly. If the car tends to lock the tires too much, reduce the braking power by a few points and you should limit the problem. A clean installation is recommended.

Like every release, I ask you not to upload the car to other platforms, I would like it to be available only here and from the link I provided. For any changes/problems, just ask and I will try to add them in further releases as has already been done previously. Thanks to everyone who helped me. 😀

The latest version is 0.4 beta, I mentioned the post with the link.

Finished, I hope you enjoy it.

My 'thing' is mostly real world series, so anything that relates to a real category or racing, not so much into the racing random supercars etc unless its some really fun ****boxes.
F1, Touring Cars, WEC/IMSA/ IndyCar that sort of thing

 

[ninezeroniner]

Have you tried any?

(just kidding, I'll eventually stretch my right arm and pick the backup hd containing the track skin/s)



960 racers, 160 racetracks for 868GBs compressed to 235GBs, so if the question is "how many skins?" my answer is "yesss".

 

[marc magnela]

this problem comes from badly mod cars, the glass must have a double face which generates the problem that you met, the only solution is to pass by an editor 3d for fix

All the cars I find interesting and every kind of road from real life and fictional (whether scratch made or converted from other games) all in one convenient launcher.

This is my approach as well. And it works great... But. Besides the intial acceptance-test, I've now 3 times (in the past 8 years) done an entire library assesment. And what absolutely baffled me is that during my recent 3rd assessment, I came across mods, that were (visually) horrifying. I couldn't figure out how they came through my initial test and survived the two previous assessments. They didn't slip through because I could see the mileage on them. The only explanation I have, which ultimately undermines the value of those large libraries, is that my baseline for what makes a good mod went up 1000%. What I thought was a good mod in 2017, could very well be garbage in 2024. I never expected this, but it does make perfect sense considering the relentless growth of AC/CM/CSP/PURE/Your GPU/Resolution of your monitor or VR-HS. And of course the best modders that keep pushing those boundaries. I think grid-fillers is a viable excuse for larger libraries though, but I'd eat my hat if you'd go through your library and didn't delete at least 30% wondering how they ever got past your initial test.


p.s. I do understand and am subjected to the appeal of collecting those sweet mods. But at 1000 cars it was enough. Now I keep collecting, but only great new mods may enter, and than the worst in my library gets deleted. Best in, Worst out.

 

[Teddie]

I always keep fresh copy of Champs.ini file on my desktop. If something happens, I can restore to previous proper race.

My god, that works so well. Thank you! I created a couple of batch files to backup or restore the champs.ini file so I don't have to keep digging down to copy it. Thanks again.

Wow @RicME85 6000 cars thats I think a new record.

Thank you. I think you and me are good now with our championships Thanks for bringing up the topic. Really helpful stuff came of it.

I'm at 10,039 cars. I'm a sick car hoarder. And this is after I weeded out all the really bad or broken cars. lol. I think one of our friends here has over 14 thousand, I read a few weeks ago.

There is something therapeutic about grouping cars and creating series out of random cars with similar traits or of the same class, etc. I always tag the groups like "#series.wtcc.2019", for instance.

I think if I was using my VR headset (which I have but things felt smaller for some reason, I think because I've always used a 60+ monitor at 2 feet away). But I think if I raced with my VR, I would definitely remove a ton of cars. Reading Mascot's posts make me realize how many cars have interior issues that really glare in VR. My OCD could not handle that.

OTHER TOPIC: Is there no way to edit a post and add additional "quoted" messages? I sometimes find other posts after I respond to someone that I want to reply to as well but there doesn't seem to be a way to add quoted msgs to your latest post after you've already submitted the response to the forum.
