Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[gunnar333]

Okay, so now here is the COTA extension for acu_cota_2021. The one with @Pyyer F1 2021 extension.
@Pyyer - Hope you don't mind. I can delete it here or you can use it, I don't mind.

Just to simplify the installation process: I took everything from Pyyer's F1 2021 extension and added my digital displays.

So you can drag it to your tracks/acu_cota_2021 folder and overwrite the older files.

Remember: You must use CSP 1.76 or above to make it work otherwise it'll still looks the same.

I will edit my other post, too.

I'm pretty sure I read Gary say on RD that he's very unlikely to finish it, which is technically a Crime Against Modding™
Maybe he'd supply his WIP for a suitably capable person to finish it for him?
Yeah, I doubt it too...
Some lucky bugger in a parallel universe is driving the Paterson Focus RS around Ian's updated Majura Valley and laughing his ass off.

Are you working on an update for Majura Valley? I remeber that you posted some pics a long time ago. The white trees are terrible btw

IMHO, you are comparing what is not comparable.
AC is a SIM. GT and Forza aren't.

Now what I know, is that AC AI, has one of the worst AI amongst the others SIM games.

Have fun.

AC AI "goodness" depends on good ai line and the car used, same ai line can be bad for another car.

General saying AC ai is bad is from someone using bad mods from 50 to 500 HP in one race.

 

[Fall Guy]

By far the best versions, but as pay mods, they have fictional advertising etc, so search on here and RD for skins.

I would suggest Willow Springs converted by DDM from GT5 is the better one.

Not true though.
Strawman argument.
Use kunos cars kunos track AI is poor in AC, its usable but poor.
Most AI is.

Well you need to find some taylored AI line made for one car, it was done for some cars on RD, but ok, you're right, AI is bad.

Hi !

Could you share this Lucky Strike skin or any other skin for this F50 GT ?

thank you

Hi mate,

The skins are from another guy who post it some posts before mine.

You wpuld easily find.

Just a reminder! When using an account, there are no such problems.
I am not saying that you do not have it, and in general, there may be a problem in something else.

Right, but I'm (on purpose) not using an account, because some people might say I could earn some money using Sharemods.
I'm just using it because content stays longer, there's no limit for the number of uploads, it is (was) fast and nobody had trouble downloading (as opposed to some others).
But ever since I was using Sharemods I never had that captcha message and since a day or two it started. Now I need to disable my uBlocker and then I get flooded with 'jumping' ads, sometimes hard to tell where the captcha window is... worthless now imo.

Speaking of AI, I would highly recommend ai lines from Max Kagan. It totally transformed the AI races for me. These are really something else. Just try them, you won't be sorry. And of course the ai lines by F_B are excellent to, to be used with older tracks.

You're right but in my case, since april 2021, I've earned.... €1,00 Yeahhhhhhh

Try the free one first, by all means. Personally I prefer the paid version. It looks and feels better to me.

It's better to air restrictor or add weight, to slow down a car? I tried with 100% air restrictor but the car is still too fast ...😥

It helps to send all the competitors out (ai) and just watch how they perform, relative to each other. Generally, if a car seems waay too good in the corners, add weight to slow it down. If it's smokin everything on the straights, use air restrictor. Sometimes one of the attributes of a car is too beautiful to do anything, then go with the other... (as for the actual numbers, sometimes over 100 is required, but rarely)

+ the AI lines from KevinK2 👍

The new update ext_config for COTA is showing numbers+% instead of driver name abbreviations on the scoreboard... (in both versions). I tried turning off "replace country flags by AI level" in CSP-GUI just in case (although those aren't AI levels), to no avail. Anyone else? Suggestions?

Oh, of course. How could I forget him.

No, I have name abbreviations (3 digits)

Strange that the tower in acu_unitedstates has missing parts on top (only visible from one side)

 

[JOCA]

@gunnar333 great job with the display, I would like to replicate it on my tracks, in your opinion if I place a TV monitor on arrival I could see the times of everyone present on the server? obviously the panel must have some particular color or what? i noticed this on borgloh, i create only hillclimb and slalom at the moment

 

[Fall Guy]

Same here. No issues, works like a charm. @gunnar333 do you have plans to update this on more tracks? If yes - may I request to do an update on the Dunlop tower at Nürburgring as well?

 

[ninezeroniner]

Can't think of a more annoying procedure than having to load different AI lines for different races. Add to that having to hold the shift key, ay caramba.

If AI lines could be loaded via CM just like track skins, though.

 

[RMi_wood]

If I understand correctly, the scoreboard needs CSP v1.76 or higher

@norms figured it out:

See that this box is UNchecked.

If done properly, the user should never have to hold down the shift key. Only needed by ai creator to bake in new sidelines to new fast lane.

And it goes beyond just different lines- it's 50-50 handshake process between the track ai and the car's ai. If a car has poor ai, good track ai will never fix it, and vice versa. Some cars will need different hints, depending on a lot of factors. As someone who does a lot of tracks, all I can do is try to predict what cars will be used on the track and get them to work on that particular track. There is no one size fits all, too many variables with all the mods.

Its what it is 🤷‍♂️ , this is just the description why and how to circumvent, complaining wont do anything at all.

" having to hold the shift key "
this only aplies when you made new ai-borders, you never have to do that when not fiddling with AI borders yourself
(dont enable this: )

to laugh a little I just created an old pilot

Yes. Thanks Norm.
I will have a look into it and hope i find a way to fix that.
But until now uncheck AI level in driver's name.

No, I have name abbreviations (3 digits)

Me too. The paid version is laser-scanned and you can't really beat that.
