Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[VetteZR1]

All out of sudden I'm getting "cpu at 99%" message when driving AC. I always have only 10 cars on the grid. Could it be a recently installed mod causing this? Running CSP 160

I'm totally confused as to how people are getting confused about unzipping files in the same place we normally do. It's a very basic folder structure...

I have a problem with content manager. When I try to calculate AO, CM crashes. Newer had this before. Could have something to do with my graphic card (rx 6600xt), as I found a couple of people having this problem with this specific card. Has anybody experienced this and more important, found a fix?

Winter grass and trees skin for any of the vintage spa tracks. I.E., my recent versions or the Spa 1966, 1938 or THR versions. Does what my Monza and Nords winter skins do. Removes the leaves from the deciduous trees and browns up the other trees so it can be used as a late fall, early spring skin as well. I separated the grass and trees because I actually like the winter grass as an optional skin to use in the summer. Has a sort of burnt out feel.

Here's a few more raided parts bin supercars for ya. The Aston Martin Virage had the rear lights from a VW Scirocco, the DBS had mirrors from a Volvo V70. Oh and the Noble M12 had the rear lights from a Mk1 Mondeo, the list goes on lol.

Love stuff like this.

 

[KJRacing81]

TVR Cerebra and Chimera had MK3 Fiesta rear lights but they swapped them to the opposite sides. My personal favourite, always used to say my XR2i had TVR bits 20 odd years ago 😂

Is this the PedroBR (I think hes called) one? I read the Patreon- it is. Shockingly badly done car.

You can't disable auto updates in 11. You can only pause them for up to a week. As I only use my PC for sim racing, I don't leave it on any other time, so all in all, I find it's just easier to let Microsoft have its way.

EDIT: I know you're a PC-man, so you're probably just shaking your head at me. 😖🤪

It seems there are ways to disable it via the 'Local Group Policy Editor', but I'm not sure I'll bother. I'll just go back to my nice Mac Studio instead and put up with the occasional Windows-induced headaches which only happen when I use my sim setup and have to endure the evil that is Windows. 🥹

With services.msc shortcut in the Run window (Win + R) you can disable Windows Update service. I know it stops w10 updates so it's not 100% recommendable but it can stop the "optional but inavoidable" update to w11 (I hope hehe)

unfortunatly nothing from them is scratch made.. all stolen assets from Rfactor2 and Iracing..
they are OK for free but certainly not worth 16 Euros..

Here's another one:

 

[racinjoe013]

Anyone know which CM file has the game's drive location. I'm moving my AC installation to a new drive and want to edit the location CM uses manually. Nevermind. Got it.

EDIT: Turns out, I do need some help here. After moving the AC folder to another drive, Steam decided it wanted to do an integrity check and started downloading files. So now I have a few stock files back I had previously changed and/or some settings have been altered. It was so long ago, I don't remember what they are. So a couple of things right off the bat.

1.) Anyone know the file name of the stupid red arrow that pops up when a car is passing you. I had either disabled that or deleted the texture to get rid of it. Anyone know if it's an option or a file I need to look for.

2.) Used to be from the cockpit, I could hit F7 on the keypad and get a free roaming camera. Can't do that now. Anyone know how to re-enable that ability.

Probably be more questions as I find out things that have been messed with. Thanks for any help...

Have you tried CSP 1.79? Didn't he make a lot of optimizations from 1.60?

Can I use these in conjunction with your other textures/skins? I just had all of your content included for the 34 & 66 layout, but I don't see the winter trees. What might I be doing wrong?

Edit: unless this is how your winter trees look..?

View attachment 1221364

That is how they are supposed to look, but you have to have seasonal adjustments turned on and set a winter date for them to look snow covered. They are not white by default. If you want to use them as a late fall\early spring skin (when the trees have no leaves), you don't want to use a fall date or they will turn orange. If I want to get a fall feel with this skin, I use either Sept 25-30th or March 20-25th. Get similar lighting to late fall but without orange trees.

Also, you need to disable any other skin you might have active and only use the winter skins if you want a winter look with leafless trees.

 

[JOCA]

is there a method to replace damaged card trees on a track with blender? (no CSP)

 

[killhop420]

I always looked at the esprit thinking I've seen those lights before, never relized it was the 86

Okay. After I posted my sample pic, I remembered from your Monza post your reminder about seasonal adjustments, and I moved back about a month or so, and indeed the leafless trees looked darker. The effect is certainly more subtle than the Nords Dead of Winter skin, and Spa happens to have a high ratio of coniferous trees as well.

Disable skins.. do you mean OTHER than your skin updates, or should I need to disable yours as well?

Also.. I'm not sure I'm seeing changes to the grass, but maybe I need to play around with dates more.

Just a little sneak peek of something I'm working on in SimHub to use on AC. Little bit of work to do on some things, but the base is there...

So, the reason that was mostly a sneak peak, is because for some reason in the couple weeks since I last touched it, the fonts played up. So, fixed that up, and this is where it's at now:

Needs a couple things like re-alignments of some boxes and logos and the timings possibly.
For those who don't understand what this is, effectively I'm trying to recreate the timing + ladder graphics that are currently in use for the Australian Supercars Championship (and, effectively support races run on the same weekends - used by Fox Sports Australia) for use on AC. However, I'm trying to do it as a historical one, so that it can be used for Group A ATCC races, or Australian Super Touring, so I have added in the manufacturer logos to go next to the car numbers for this reason.

At the moment, I've coded in:
* Timing box
- Manufacturer logos will work with any manufacturer that has competed in ATCC/Supercars, Group A, Group C, Super Touring or TCR (should work with cars from those manufacturers that aren't in those categories as well) - side note, since I am Australian, the Vauxhall Vextra is a Holden. Too bad, deal with it muaha.

* Timing ladder- Manufacturer logos should show up using the same criteria as before, however it will only be the Group A, Group C, GT3, ATCC/Supercars, TCR, Super Touring/Class 2, 90's FIA Class 1, effectively any touring cars (excluding GTE) but only of those manufacturers I've alluded to at the moment (so, no Ferrari, as an example), but eventually probably will try to include as many GT3 cars/manufacturers as possible as well.

* On both - Car numbers: This is a tricky one, as this uses Gary Swallow's plug in, and I've noticed an issue with using 'Car numbers' (as set by the skins in Content Manager), is always set by the order they are input into the race grid of Content Manager (player is always Car #0, 1st AI entrant is #1, 2nd is #2, so on...), and haven't been able to find a work around for this on the timing ladder. However, on the timing box, it's currently coded by the folder name of the skin of the 'observed driver', looking for the last 4 characters of the folder name (single and double digit numbers with leading zeros [0001, 0082, etc] with triple digit numbers needing a leading '10' [Triple 8 racing would need to end in 1888 for example]. Hoping there's a way to code it to just use the Car Number as set by the skin in Content Manager soon.

Will look to share probably when I at least make sure that all the cars work on the timing ladder, as you can see there are some blank logos where I've coded incorrectly, and to be specific, they are for the:
VRC Vauxhall Vectra
TCR 2019 MG Pro Xpower
TCR 2019 Renault Megane
(I expect there is more, so I'll have to go through the list)

If you run some other graphic-intensive games, you may find the same issue occurs. The temperature your GPU rises to is totally dependant on the load it's handling (vs. how good your cooling fans work), as well as the ambient temperature when you're running it. Sim racing pushes the cards pretty hard.

I've had this very issue in summer myself. When the PC is continually going hot, cool, hot, cool, hot, cool... things plugged into the motherboard can move around from thermal expansion and contraction, then eventually you get an intermittent connection which can shut the PC down.

If you're unsure how to reseat the card, you can find some helpful videos on youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+reseat+a+GPU

You can use the hardware monitor of the "MSI Afterburner" tool, to control the temperature and usage of GPU and CPU. It works for all graphics cards, not only MSI cards. I use it to optimize my graphics settings for AC and control how demanding a track or car mod is on my system.

Speaking of performance did anyone experienced a performance drop by installing the latest CSP preview 1.80.115? Even though my gpu and cpu are not fully utilized frames don't over 100fps while before I had 120fps solid

@WiisardNic

I also had a black screen all the time. My new graphics card is quite heavy. I then propped up the graphics card. Since then no more problems.

If the PC is turning off completely like they've suggested, it could also be the CPU overheating. Or it could be the power supply deciding it no longer wishes to supply power.

I love computers and how totally reliable they always are.

Also an update on this situation:
I could not be bothered opening up my PC to reseat my graphics card today, so installed the MSI Afterburner tool as suggest, and then just set the fan to 100% while running AC. Temp sits at 88deg now while driving, but hasn't conked out the computer yet, so.. that seems to have proven the issue. I'm looking to upgrade my whole PC this year anyways, its not a proper gaming PC, it's just my wife's old office desktop she bought on a whim and decided she would rather a laptop, and it runs games 'reasonably' well so I commandeered it for my makeshift rig haha.

Minkia! The TEMPRA DTM

Words I didn't expect to see on here for $500 thanks!

Guys, hello! I missed the release of the new 6 version Dirt convert of Greece. But the video and links are now unavailable... Does anyone know if they published it, is it possible to download it?
