Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[Mandolph666]

Hello GTPlanet users! I am MPG (otherwise known as Mandolph666) and I started making cars for AC recently. Keep in mind these models are terrible in my opinion (at least for now, I will try and figure out how to import gt7 and sport models (unencrypted by the way) to blender without them looking like they were in a blender) (no pun intended) but here is a new years gift from me! It's the Citroen DS 4 '11 (FM4 Conversion) (WRONG STEERING WHEEL AND RIMS, rims and steering wheel taken from 101Creatives beautiful DS 3 Racing mod) View attachment 1416916
ACTK, please do NOT REUPLOAD THIS MOD WITH LODS AS IT IS CURRENTLY IN ALPHA PHASE AND NOT COMPLETED. THANK YOU.

(All credits go to their original creators: Turn10 (base model, rims and Steering wheel) Armgarage (EXT_CONFIG.ini file) MPG (base model conversion) StoffelWaffle (Converting rims and steering wheel) 101Creative (Some paints) (and most important of all, Citroen and DS Automobiles) (now on version 1.1, inaccurate rims an steering wheel changed to their correct counterparts) (Thanks to StoffelWaffle for making this mod a lot more accurate)

Good evening.
Does anyone know where I can download this version of the BMW 2002/TI (without the hood)?I saw it somewhere but I don't remember.
Thank you in advance.

Yes it’s mad. Been testing all afternoon trying different versions of CSP and pure but even after choosing older CSP and Pure the problem is still there with webbing and dark trackside screens. I’ve also lost FPS by 5 to 10 frames. It’s like something has changed the overall settings some how. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

If you have such problem, always use CSP only at a first start of solving the problems.
Set "default" as weather style in weatherFX settings and you are save that Pure does not cause the problem.

You can always try to reset everything to default in CSP:
Reset CSP settings completely!
Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different.
Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later.
Select Pure as weather style again in CSP weatherFX settings.

You can also try to get a newer openvr api if you use OpenVR.
You must place the files in
\assettocorsa\system\x64 AND
\assettocorsa\system\x86

The old Silverstone brand identity was used for the flags and gantry boards too. The new logo can be seen in that image I posted above.
Artwork resource for track skinners here: https://www.agencytk.com/work/silverstone
Maybe this 2020s update is for 2020-23, and a 2024+ update (with the hotel, bridge and new branding) will come later?
I have done a quick skin for this track to update the branding and (the main reason) get rid of all the Assetto Corsa adboards, but it's a little complicated to install due to the way the new textures are loaded from a zip file.

Did not get the point of this 2020-ish layout update, tried and binned it. Using pyyer´s extension is more than enough to cover the current layout and look.

Did not get the point of this 2020-ish layout update, tried and binned it. Using pyyer´s extension is more than enough to cover the current layout and look.

The new bridge and hotel can be added to the RSS track from Pyyer's extension, but it's a little convoluted.

I get horrendous z-fighting with a lot of Pyyer's extensions because he places his new meshes directly on top of existing ones.
I'm guessing a combination of some CSP tick boxes somewhere makes this flickering a lot worse for some people than for others, because I can't believe Pyyer would release his extensions without noticing the strobing.
I isolated and hid the worst offenders at Silverstone, so if you suffer the same then add this to the individual layout's main config:

;hide z-fighting adboards on Pyyer's Silverstone extension. Add to individual layout main ext_config.ini
[MESH_ADJUSTMENT_...]
MESHES=Bridge02a, TowerBoards.001, Walls.212, Walls.136, Walls.158, Line275, Walls.198, Walls.214, Bridge03a, Walls.211_SUB0, Bridge05a
IS_RENDERABLE=0

You'll lose some of these new adboards and expose the original tyre walls and adboards behind, but at least you won't get a migraine.

If Pyyer is listening: please read up on z-fighting, what causes it and how to avoid it.

Edit: for some reason the video screens in Pyyer's extension appear normal with the latest CSP and Pure. All other tracks I've tested have extremely dark jumbotrons now.

 

[Schmawlik]

Yeah...... Can't exactly do that either. They lock it down on their car instead of RARE which can be used by anyone

I don’t entirely know why your display would be reliant on RARE in the first place. Nothing RARE provides should be necessary.

Anyways, Extended Controls is definitely not locked down to VRC cars. It’s open for all developers to integrate into their cars. URD and RSS have already done so in some of their releases.

For anyone who's thinking of skipping the Lola T298 by childa because of it's huge size
(original 7z installer file - found here - is 905MB and the unpacked car folder 1.7GB ! )
I made a toned down version, reducing the size considerably without too much compromise.
- removed unneeded files , such as PSD files ,
- reduced size of the bodypaint_map file
- smaller dds file for the mirror colors (on some skins)
- compressed DDS files
- reused bodypaint.dds for the inner wing part
(which is a concession, as some things are then in mirror writing , but this will not be very noticeable)

My installer file is only 116MB and the unpacked car folder is 'only" 709MB instead of 1700MB
(and with compactor the car folder only takes 118MB on disk)

It is well worth it (even the 709MB) , it's an amazing mod imho!

Well it def makes for a great driving experience, i enjoyed it a lot.
Made a few immersive NeckFX sets for it, and an AI version using your toned down version.

Just hooking at the helmet discussion and still wondering why no chauvinistic French member is not involved here with the splendid French GPA F1 horseshoe helmets. Villeneuve, Peterson, Tambay, Peroni, Arnoux and lots of ( mostly French) drivers did use them by the end of the 70’s until the beginning of the 80’s.

Google Image Result for https://hofcollection.com/cdn/shop/files/1981-Gilles-Villeneuve-Scuderia-Ferrari-Replica-GPA-F1-Helmet_0012_Hue_Saturation-7.jpg?v=1712361781&width=2016

https://images.app.goo.gl/1KrtMoDyLRQn9vMC8


I did own myself that type of helm and for that time the quick release horse shoe closing was great and as it also was a very quiet helmet, compared to Arai, Bell and other that uses a chin belt strap. Edit: I did own Nolan, NAVA and Kiwi, but the GPA was the best helmet I ever had.
The safety of releasing the helmet without damaging the neck splines after an accident, by this horse shoe was a unique feature, but later these helmets seems to have a dark side as they can open at a hard collision. Another point from my experience, I did once ride with a piece of clothing between the locking, unaware of this it was never fully closed, so the horseshoe closing is not failsafe.
Think right now nobody in official car and motorcycle racing scene are allowed using a strapless helmet, because of this.

BTW all an healthy and great 2025!

Hi Peter. That’s great. I will follow your instructions and hopefully find out what is going on. Thanks for getting back to me.😎

 

[Mandolph666]

Sorry but how do I put Daniel Nogal's Panoramic session Start config into a car? I can't seem to find it anywhere in a cars files. Thanks!

 

[Quark67]

Thanks, but the problem with this is, object inspector won't find the safety webbing mesh, even when I can get it to appear with one eye closed.

I had the same issue yesterday: I could see the net only on track, but I couldn't select it with object inspector.
Today after 9 hr sleep I could figured it out.
In "CM Showroom", go to "Car params" page and enable "seatbelt". Now you will see also the net and you can select it in "visual settings" page.

"GEO_INT_Net_LOD" is the mesh you are looking for

rare provided useful race telemetry data to show on the display, but we will try to strip that as it may not be that important anyway and remove rare from dependency.

As for extended controls didn't know. Will check and see about it

I have found a niche. Making decent helmets for AC.

Cool. Check out my 1982, 1983, 1984 seasons. They're SD based and many of the drivers need proper helmets.

Good Afternoon all
Help needed please why has my grass grown its twice the size it was, its all over the track, why ? Any ideas as to fix please apart from getting the mower out 😂 running 0.2.6-preview1 0.8.2731.39678 (x86). Racing on OULTON PARK with the 60's skin

Regards

Mark

 

[ninezeroniner]

The amount of hate under the article is insane. Don't understand why anyone is hating a new car just for being "fictional". Isn't the whole point of modding and AC to create new things?

It all bogs down to four/five clowns and barely three pages of discussion, though.
These guys aren't even really able of insulting each other in a manly fashion.

Which kind of config you are using? For example my config always have this TRIM_PERIOD = THURSDAY, so if your config have a similar setting and this is the first time you are playing AC far from the last TRIM_PERIOD DAY it could be normal that the grass is higher than other times.

Thank you for the reply

Where will i find this config ? ive looked under config ext couldnt find it ?

 

[Stommelen_lh]

Thanks for the question. I didn't take the screenshots myself. I'll have to ask.

No problem, too kind anyway! Have a happy new years's eve and a roaring 2025... 👍🏻😊

Hi Peter. That’s great. I will follow your instructions and hopefully find out what is going on. Thanks for getting back to me.😎

Just a quick follow up from some tests. I have found the strange webbing look in VR was caused by not having single pass through ticked in vr tweaks in CM. I switched from Pure Gamma to LCS and the trackside screens go back to how they should. It must be something in Gamma which darkens them down. Will be testing more over the coming days.

I also did some testing and the safety net and seatbelts are only rendered for the left eye in VR. But even with Single Pass Stereo activated for VR (Oculus Rift CV1), I only see the safety net and seatbelts, if I look straight ahead. If I move the head a little bit to the left or right, I can`t see it anymore. But the shadows of the safty net are still visible.

As workaround you can only hide the meshes of the safety nets completely in the ext_config.ini of the car at the moment.

For the RSS Lanzo Evo 2 you can add this:

[MODEL_REPLACEMENT_...]
FILE=rss_gtm_lanzo_v10_evo2.kn5
HIDE=GEO_SAFETY_NETS_Stripes_LODA, GEO_SAFETY_NETS_LODA

BUT BE WARNED!!!
If the race track police will control you and you're driving without safty nets, you may loose your simracing race driver licence.

I’m also curious about your FPS loss and what is causing this.

I have the right steering and wheels (ported it last year) but no digital gauges lol

You want the parts ? Easily rippable (is that even a word?) with Forza Studio anyways

And in "Part Deux" of problems with these new builds, does anyone know why the New UI is not displaying pit stop strategies? Just noticed this - was working before the release of the latest public CSP 0.2.0.

Tried fiddling with the pit stop options in CM, no luck. New UI is completely blank. Happens on 3 cars I tried - this URD Radical, the Kunos Mercedes AMG GT3, and the Mad Formula Team MFT2. All have the same behavior. It's not the car.

New UI and Old UI pics below.

I've been lucky with my lack of bugs from CSP over the past year or two. I guess this is the law of averages coming back round.

For posterity's sake, I've learned today through the CSP discord that this problem with the new UI/GUI will exist in perpetuity.

Apparently the dev who made the new UI had some sort of tiff with the other CSP devs two and a half years ago and abandoned development entirely. No one has picked up the project to finish it - and from what I've heard in both a private PM discussion and in a public one, there are no plans to ever fix it. They've kept the code for the new "Pause Menu", which does work - and that's it.


I love the new UI, but I have to be able to change pit stop strategies, as I race in leagues (including my own). Looks like I'm stuck with the ugly red forever.

Found and fixed, thank you so much 😀😀👍👍

 

[CrisT86]

Thank you for the reply

if inside of your track folder there's no extension folder with the ext_config it means that you are using a config which is stored in

\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\extension\config\tracks\loaded

so you have to check it, but you can update this config via CM if is not up-to-date

 

[Mandolph666]

My second mod release! It's the Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo (road version)! the origin 3D Model was made By EX-MODS (Gr.3) The parts to convert it to the road version were made by Polyphony Digital (GT7, ported by me) EXT_CONFIG (Armgarage, same base file as DS 4) There is a problem, the speedometer looks squashed so I will fix that in a later update. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025!!
