Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[X90]

Hi X90. This is a big step forward for those of us running Buttkickers or other 'shakers'. I've been running Simvibe for the last 13 years and it is now heading for 'software heaven' thanks to how much better this setup with Simhub and the SimHubUDPConnnector works.

Big thanks too for your shaker profile and the work you put into tuning things with DaZD. It was great to be able to just load your profile, tune it a little to suit my rig and then just get back to driving... with kerb effects and road rumble. Great stuff!

Definitely tune those settings - my shakers are strong and it really does vary by setup. I also like more "parametric" vibration from engines and RPMs (although really not that much, at 20% or less), whereas a lot of people don't like them at all - especially those with haptic pads where the range is mono-frequency.

Most useful are the kerbs/rumble obviously, the "wheel slip" (still tuning it, a little loud still but I exaggerate it for car information purposes), wheel/brake locking, and the ABS/TC. It's not just for immersive purposes, these genuinely help a lot with keeping the car on the road!


One thing I actually forgot - latency with SimHub's bass shakers has always been a sticking point, as Wotever uses an older sound API to actually send the information. The lag is right on the borderline of "usefulness" on stock audio drivers, but I obviously decided a few years ago to use everything for immersive purposes regardless.

But! I came across this while testing. Check this link out:

Fixing Realtek audio driver lag on Windows 10

The quality of recent Realtek sound controller and audio drivers has taken a nosedive in recent years, and the automatically installed drivers on Windows 10 have introduced a significant delay in t…

neosmart.net

Switching the driver with this method (my audio out to the amp now says "Headphones" rather than speakers but I don't care) has improved latency by ~80-100ms, I'd say. It's still a bit too much - and hopefully can be improved with a newer, lower latency API like WASAPI (I'll be suggesting that now that AC Road Rumble has finally come) - but with this improvement from the driver change, I consider the latency "acceptable-to-good" and it is just fast enough to really see reaction time and in-car pace improvements when it comes to rear traction loss and kerbs.

Give it a shot - I'll consider asking DaZD to add this stuff to the UDPConnector install process description as well.

Thanks for the tip on the Realtek driver X90. I'll have a look at that link and try the alternative and see if I notice any difference with the latency. As I only have a single Buttkicker, I can hardly brag that my shaker setup being state of the art, but if it isn't on, part of my brain instantly starts wondering, "What the hell is wrong?"! 😁

I have 2 Buttkicker Advances, one for the front and one for the rear. My poor mini-amp that I've custom bolt-mounted to my rig can't drive them without major tuning! Poor thing - need a stronger one.

Boosted Media is right - he has an ~$80k triple OLED motion setup, and the bass shakers are the one thing that he misses most when it's not there. I could never go back.

Hello everyone, I started making a Hyper Water Racing INGING skin for TheNuvolari mod, but I ran into a problem: in the showroom there is one mod, but in the game there is a slightly different one, how can I solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance.

The mod uses MODEL_REPLACEMENTs in the ext_config.ini file in the skin folder, to show/hide the different possible configurations of the car. These changes are not visible in the CMShowroom, only in the game. You'll need to examine the code and make decisions about what parts you want to show/hide for your skin.

 

[Peter Boese]

The grassfx missing is indeed related to the CSP version, finally brought it back with v0.2.4. I have no idea what makes it disapears on 2.5 and further. Maybe something in the extconfig, maybe in CSP...

Mysteries.

Could you describe it and pin files?

only for the not yet released 964 RSR from Zoffty

not yet released ? or abandoned? because we haven't heard anything for so long that I thought the mod was abandoned ...

Before I get into trouble with this mod that I love since it's my hometown, a question: you include a skin with the .dds file "bar_rumble_strips_01_d"... I already have installed a spectacular (except for the tree trunks, too dark with daylight for my taste) ClimaxF1 retexture skin that includes that same .dds file. Since I'm a bit lost on these things, I'm asking: I understand I can delete the skin included in your add-on so they don't interfere with each other?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

By the way, El Zorro strikes again...

Oh, yes, this skin can be removed, or simply not enabled. This skin is only for changing the curb color to the classic red and white (maybe someone likes it better, like me).

 

[LaChub]

By the way, El Zorro strikes again...

Thank you. I will remove that.

 

[Perico Lospa]

Thank you. I will remove that.

Thanks for your quick responses! By the way, I just noticed that those black Z-shaped marks appear when I activate the ClimaxF1 skin. It's happened to me on other tracks, but right now I can't say if the cause is directly related to some ClimaxF1 skin. We'll have to investigate further...

Hmm... I don't have any of those Zorros.
But if I notice them, I'll definitely remove them.

I did a quick check: the other track where it happened was Goodhoop by carTOON (although right now the damn marks don't show), and they don't appear on other tracks with ClimaxF1 skins either, so this line of investigation has proved fruitless...

Surely those marks aren't directly related to any of your or ClimaxF1 mods; it must be simply one of those bugs that randomly appear depending on Mr. Assetto Corsa's mood...

Very interesting new mod from tommy78 - has anybody checked this one out yet?

I asked before and I'll ask again (if someone who knows happens to read this now).

Why do Lotus98T based Kunos cars leave on the track "crawling" 30 km/h and ruin street circuit races like Monaco, Detroit, etc. It's only these cars. Never happens with RSS/ASR cars. It also happens occasionally at Oesterreichring 1979.

It's almost like they hit the wall and then stuck to 6th gear or something. They won't retire but continue to "race" 30 km/h and then the ai cars get stuck behind them and the races are ruined.

Could it be something in the gear change settings in /data? Because when you crash them on purpose and give them a "bump" they find their pace again and start driving normally.

Anyone has any ideas how I could fix this?

 

[Daniel Graf]

for me it is not abandoned. I lost a bit of track as my life had some big changes. Basically the car is ready in terms of the car model and the baseline physics as well as over 100 real life skins. What holds us back is that the physics need fine tuning. Neither Zoffty nor me are specialist enough to do it on a level which meets our expectations. The guy who did the physics fine tuning for the 964 Cup was occupied with other projects.

Hello,

I decided to install the three Indy 95 cars from a Legion's mod and I can't modify the fuel consumption of the cars via “Fuel Consumption” in the data as car..ini.

For example, originally, on a lap of Road America with the turbo at 100%, the car consumes 11 liters per lap.

I think it's reasonable to assume that consumption could easily be half that.
I've modified “Fuel Consumption” in car.ini, but unfortunately nothing changes.

Do you have any ideas or has anyone been able to change this data, please?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers !

Is it possible those mods have packed and unpacked data?
Have you packed data folder in a .ini after modify it? Make sure AC is reading Data.ini, and delete the folder after packing.

Thanks very much for these, you always add a lot of variety with your extra layouts. Very much appreciated!
Haven't tested all the new routes yet but spotted a couple of glitches at Marine Gate: some ground textures are missing, and a small pop-up tent seems absent too, leaving the Liqui Moly banner just floating in air.

Ground textures:

(it's there on the main Memorial Run route

Lot of work still to do, but tell me that you are happy at the idea of racing this track off-line.

Make sure you deleted the old data.acd file & package a new data file in CM, Can find it on the right of the Replace sound button.

 

[Masscot]

@LaChub I think there are also some UV mapping issues with some stretched artwork on adboards and teardrop flags with some of your new routes, eg:

Stretched OZ/MOMO logos:

Teardrop flag artwork propoitions:

Got some z-fighting on grandstand adboards too?
Example:

EDIT: nothing to do with your new routes this one, but it'd be good if somebody could add CSP flags to all the vertical flagpoles. It's something ACU often omitted with his various GRID ports, just leaving bare poles with no flags.

Well, I tried before my message and nothing changed. It's the first time there is any effect with changes (because sometime some cars need modified values of fuel consumption, the datas are really rotten).

Cheers.

NB : there is a "fuel_cons.ini" in the data folder, I will delete it, maybe there is a conflict.

@FrustratedUse
Thanks a lot for your help !

Well, I gave up, I tried a lot of combinations, nothing changed, It's the first time I'm not able to change on AC, a little thing like this, unbelievable !

Hey, where did you manage to download this mod? Links from Legion's site are down.

 

[G_Parrilla]

Sorry I havent updated Sebring AI yet. Am I the only one battling overtake just to login? They log me off every 30 days, give me a 2 step key which always fails and then lock me out for days because their own key failed, am I the only one battling this? Has been happening since the rebranding, I got stuff to upload and stuff I want to download on my decade old account lol

Edit: After asking some mates, they force me to do 2FA which its not the case for them, for whatever reason? im even more confused now

I don't have issues with logging in, but it seems they no longer allow me to post any mods. I can update ones i've done, but can't post anything new.

Hey all,

On the UDP connector for Simhub - can I request a little trouble shooting support?

I've followed the instructions and set everything up, however when the .DLL is in the root Simhub folder, Simhub loads locked and with a black screen or with buttons that cannot be pressed, if I remove the .DLL it reverts back to normal - any clues?

Its a a paid version of Simhub.
