Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[F1PiloteJV]

For those who are interested in a little fun at the end of the year, without too much perfection.
There are some cars included in the micro packs (1978 and 1979), and in the mini pack (1979/1980) that were made about 2 months ago when I was still more active.

For now, attention "around here" is on "things much more important to me". As much as possible I'll put something new (if I can, if any rules are broken, please let the moderators know). Thank you all!

After I had uploaded the files, I noticed that some cars had "very shiny" tires.

I hope that most of you could solve it using the "Content Manager", I learned from a "tip" that was given to me right here in the "forum", I believe that everyone will be able to solve it.

The other "problem" is the "driver's position", I noticed that one of the Renaults (pack 1980/1981) has this problem, he was way behind (the hands do not reach the steering wheel). It is solved very easily, also by the "Content Manager".

Incredible work man !! And lot of thanks for sharing
Great to have this cars in Assetto 👍

Are you going to make other packs for other cars later? I saw your 54, 57, 60, 70, 71 cars...
Nice day

Anyone know how I get android auto to display in portrait mode? I know it can be done since I have some McLaren with a screen layout like that, but when I change resolution and/or size of the mnba standalone android, the screen turns black and display the error: Must be at least 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33)

Figured it out! When I use [Include: Common/navigators.ini] I can alter the resolution and size to portrait ratio, but when I use [INCLUDE: android_auto/config.ini] I can not. So I cant really use android auto, but I only use navigation anyway. So for me the problem is fixed.

I'm in VR so Extra FX isn't available anyway but I have had to dial back quite a bit of stuff elsewhere. Kind of frustrating but I am enjoying racing the VRC cars.

VRC replied to me on their Discord to say that the fully modelled engine was the reason for the large no. of tri's and that it was already optimised as far as it could be.

Strangely, I've found that I can load the game and get bottlenecked by either CPU (5950x) or GPU (3080TI) but if I close and reload I'm OK! I don't get this issue with other mods previously.

I was running 8xMSAA but have now returned that to 4xMSAA but turned on MFAA in Nvidia control panel.

Lots of other little compromises here and there but that was the main one for me.

One important thing to do is set any AI to the standard variant and only choose CSP version for yourself. Lots of additional physics calculations required for CSP variants and therefore load on CPU.

Seems like their priorities are arse-about-face if having a detailed engine model that's hidden 99.9% of the time is more important than framerate and performance when actually driving the cars.
Then again I've never understood why so many modders want doors, bonnets and boots to open on their cars.
Play Forza instead?

I agree 100%. I thought about replying in a similar vein but decided against it! They obviously have their minds made up with the line "These mods are already greatly optimized, there's nothing left to improve in that aspect."

Thats disappointing indeed. I was just about buying the pack.
But i am thinking about right now.
My cpu is bit older ryzen2700x but disabeling eye candies like extraFX and co is no option…

Did those Performance problem not occure already with a Indycar pack from VRC?!

After having an extremely busy 2022, I found a bit of time to get back into 3DS MAX again.
"Mid America Motorplex" has been around in sim racing since the days of Sports Car GT. It has been converted to rFactor, GTL, GTR2 and also to AC, but all the fantasy trees, grand stands and other track side objects the original creator included have never been removed. Because I like the flow of the track I decided to give it a try to get it closer to reality. WIP.
Recently the track's name has been changed to "Raceway Park of the Midlands".

PS: Yes, I will try to finish Crystal Palace later on!

Regard VRC BTCC performance... Might be worth a few of us mentioning it directly on their official Discord. I seem to be the only one that has highlighted performance issues and, as such, their response is quite dismissive.

Do I have to buy subscription for the heated seats?

 

[RacingManiac]

Skin question, are there any early 00s Super GT GT300 skins for the RSS GTN cars? Trying to put together a grid for the 2006 Super GT mod from Chivas Autosport...

 

[Masscot]

Really nice E36 M3 update from Daiki Naruse on FB.
Easily the best E36 available for AC, I reckon.




For any VR/first person drivers out there, the driver's hands were clipping through the steering wheel so here's a rescaled/repositioned driver to fix it, plus a better shifting animation.
As usual, remove the .txt extensions and add driver_base_pos.knh to the car folder, and steer.ksanim & shift.ksanim to the 'animation' folder.
Swap this timing into data/driver3d.ini too:

[SHIFT_ANIMATION]
BLEND_TIME=100
POSITIVE_TIME=330
STATIC_TIME=10
NEGATIVE_TIME=330
PRELOAD_RPM=8500
INVERT_SHIFTING_HANDS=1

Because in a simulator cars should be looked at, not driven...right? 😂

Maybe I missed somrone else's post about it being available, but in case you haven't seen it yet, or received an email from RSS...

PROTECH P91 HYBRID EVO​

​

As usual from RSS, very good quality, and it's crazy to drive with its automotive wizardry that keeps it stuck to the track.

A bit misleading marketing, I was buying 963 2023,but got 919 Evo from 2018.

 

[RacingManiac]

uh what

 

[Rodger Davies]

It's fairly clear from the pics/video what the car is, surely?

Lol, I'd played Mid America in several games and I remember it clearly from SCGT but I honestly didn't realise it was real until your post! I've probably skipped over the name a hundred times on RacingSportscars when skimming SCCA results too... oops!

Great news on Crystal Palace too, I feared we'd lost you to work!

.....how? those 2 cars dont even look alike

<snip> all the fantasy trees, grand stands and other track side objects the original creator included have never been removed.

Thank you for this! I live about half an hour away from this track and the inclusion of all that stuff was always so off-putting compared to how this area looks irl 😁

Back in 2021 I started making some 2005 GT300, waiting for Chivas to release 05' and 06' GT500

Spoiler

Maybe now I can restart the project (when time let me do it)

 

[WYCorp]

I agree about high poly engine bays and other details being pointless when it affects racing.

To be honest Id say the same about a lot of really nice looking tracks that get released with dismal AI to race against.

Is there a guide on creating our own AI data because I'm fed up with the bad AI on a lot of tracks.

RE: VRC Touring Cars, what needs to be done if I only want to keep the CSP versions and want to get rid of the non-CSP ones? Is there anybody able to give a short (and understandable for noobs) instruction how-to? I´ve read that the CSP ones do not work if the non-CSP ones are deleted since they share the same data?

From what I've seen, there is no KN5 file in the CSP version, which prevent them to be used alone, so maybe copy/paste all the kn5 files?

Hello guys, Happy New year
To continue my 964 Cup, I'm about to see how Simplygon is working with the Content Manager, but I have a small issue
Free License looks ok, it's even working well in 3dsmax

But not in CM?
CM Version 0.8.2467.39678 (x86) and Custom shader version 0.1.79

did you see a similar issue ?
thanks for your help !

I'm never seen that particular issue. Are they installed on the same drive?

Sorry, on a phone now, but in basic terms:

• Copy over the KN5 files of the 'non' ones to the CSP folder
• Go to the data folder and open lods.ini - remove all the 'path' references, so you're just left with the names of the KN5s (check any other car to see how it should look)
• Check all other folders have the same content (the extension folder, if it's there, the sound folder etc)
• Test delete it

I'm sure someone will do a better guide for you soon but if not, and you're stuck, let me know and I'll do a better guide next time I'm at the computer.

Otherwise, you can just disable the ones you don't want in CM and I think that would have the effect you're looking for.

Many thanks! I can confirm it works as advised, if you a.) re-pack the data.acd (otherwise it does not load the data from the folder which has been created unless you use "use un-packed data if exists") and b.) make the mod a standalone one (with CM) after deleting the parent car.

I had the same question about it I tried Bought at kilamy 1967 the regular ones do 3 second less than the CSP ones
