Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

Call me a suspicious coward, but there are too many signs that make me wary of that link... I think I’ll just pass on finding out whether it’s legitimate or not.

As for the loads of links that forum members post around here, well, I wouldn't say it’s impossible that someday someone catch me off guard, but if these files come from regular forum users and are hosted on reasonably trustworthy and well known file-sharing platforms, the chances of messing up are lower. So far, things have gone well for me... or at least, that’s how it seems. 😅

In any case, thanks for taking a look at the link.

If in doubt, just get VirusTotal to scan it and report back to the rest of us.

Didn't realise this had passed scrutiny at Overwait.

Thanks a bunch, from downunder, for the many liveries... I'm old school when it comes to the great movies from the past, so your avatar is a treat reminder whenever I log into this forum for a catch up!

Just remember, we're here for you. we know the pain you're in!
Just kidding...keep 'em coming!

No disrespect to @Masscot in any way, this pic is awesome & funny, that I have been in stiches LMAO. There are some users in this forum that have been here for so long, that I kind of feel that I have invisibly bonded with many of you... Life in general ought have more comedy & fun in everything we do. Thanks for the laughter!

Speaking of sounds, let me ask again: does anyone know why, in some mods, when driving in first-person view, the volume of the AI cars is so much higher than that of my own engine, to the point where it’s impossible to shift gears by ear?

(Honestly, I don’t understand why some modders feel the need to experiment with things that work perfectly fine just the way Kunos designed them... 🙄)

Unsure if this may help you @perico, give a try if you have not already... I also was getting the sound of AI cars being too loud & found this setting that helped.

Seconded.
I tried @petercrill's l lovely AE86 TODA F22C on a touge that uses Nukedrop's particles lua this morning, and I had leaves in the car 😊

Update after searching. Some of these are also quoted in a post about rain on inside of windshield, so... :

"The issue of leaves or other particles from Nukedrop tracks appearing to pass through the windshield is typically caused by incorrect mesh hierarchy or shader configuration in the custom car model, rather than the track itself.

For Nukedrop particle effects (like leaves, confetti, or petals) to interact correctly with a car's windshield:

• Mesh Hierarchy: The windshield mesh must be in the root of the car hierarchy, not nested under the cockpit.
• Dual Meshes: You need two separate meshes for the window: one for the outside (using ksPerPixelReflection) and one for the inside (using ksWindscreen).
• Shader Settings: Ensure both window materials use AlphaBlend (not Opaque) and are flagged as transparent in the material properties.
• CSP Settings: Verify that Windscreen FX is enabled in Content Manager > Settings > Custom Shaders Patch.

If leaves are clipping through, it often means the internal windshield mesh is missing or the normals are flipped. Recreating the window meshes from scratch with the correct shader assignments usually resolves this."

Thanks, will note this for future reference. In my case, with Chemflummi's Nissan GT-R LM, the ext_config.ini set OPEN_WHEELER=1, which will obviously make the entire cockpit "transparent" for dust and debris. Simply setting OPEN_WHEELER=0 seems to have solved it.

Thanks a lot for mentioning that, I’ll take a look!

Although, to be honest, this whole thing (like many other aspects of Assetto Corsa) is a bit of a mess: you can adjust volume settings in the car mod itself, via the AC menu, the CSP menu, or with the app in the sidebar on the right of the screen, or even through third-party apps you’ve installed later... and you never really know if these options are compatible with one another or they interfere, or if a future update might wipe out the settings that were working just fine, or if... As said, sometimes, less is more.

And despite everything, I still love this damn simulator...
