also having this problem is this the only way? do you not want to have extended physics running?

enabling the tick box I believe adds a few lines to data.acd (some ext fixes). If the unable to decrypt message pops up it means the car's encryption is tied to the data.acd (which is the stupidest encryption to have) hence why unchecking the box "fixes" it.

ideally cars should be developed with ext physics incorporated

Yes in CM there is onboard setting, just like our friend showed above but when you choose this cam (without steering wheel) it won't let you adjust the height position.
You can only adjust the pov. Or its just me.

I think to adjust the dashboard cam you need to unpack the data.acd, then open "onboard settings" in AC while in COCKPIT (!) view, adjust to your liking and then either "save car.ini" to save it as the cockpit view, or "save dash" to save this cam position for the dashcam.

Then you need to leave the session and restart the game for "the changes to take effect".

Have you pressed F1 and gone to another onboard camera? Those cameras are locked, you'd need to unpack the data and edit the cameras file.

In the car selection under Drive, under each car it shows a tiny, tiny brand badge and the model of the car. E.g. "[tiny alfa romeo logo] 4C (2013)". When I'm scrolling, looking for a car in the list, I would love to see where I am, alphabetically, but these tiny badges are illegible to me. I would much prefer if it just said the brand name in plain text there. E.g. "Alfa Romeo 4C (2013)".

Is there a way I can change the brand badges to plain text?

Content Manager has a tool to compress data.
Go to Content/Tools and select Compress files. The program will make a scan of all the files within your assetto corsa location and will show you a summary of the next action (two steps detection and action) based on the algorithm that you will choice.

you clearly did not read my post properly.. as I wrote that I am already using it! :)
but on TOP of that , compressing the DDS (with GIMP in my testcase ) got me an extra 50% gain.

60MB dds file with CM compress tool was taking approx 4MB of SSD space,

I compessed it with GIMP to BC3 / DXT5 , resulting in a 20MB file.
The CM compress tool then made this file take only 2MB of space on my SSD.

So I gained an extra 50% of diskspace for this file, even though I was already using CM Compress tool , and the file was already compressed.

Hence I want to find a tool that I can run to do a mass / batch compress of all the DDS files in my content folder,
which will save me I estimate at least 100GB of disk space..
Since my 1TB SSD is almost full , with only Assetto corsa on it , I would preffer gaining some space by having the DDS files compressed as best as possible...

Onboard settings is accessed in game when you move the cursor all the way to the Right of the screen a vertical bar will pop up. Once selected, you adjust the arrows to raise or lower the seat. @OooAhh Cantona - he shows what the icons appear like in the menu (in game). Pretty simple. Hit save and it is always the same when you launch the car. I do this on about 99% of all cars.

No need to edit config files etc.

I thought that the view without the rim is a fixed view. But you can just remove the wheel with the main cockpit view and just move around.

I'm going out on a limb and say Assetto Corsa.

I know there are a lot of OG sim guys that have been around for them all, but I've never seen anything like what AC has become. It's a winner for sure in my view.

...and shot out to @pk3r72owns ...glad to see the man behind the mods/post.

Wouldn't mind hearing further input on how the mods will be handled from Tyrone?
Click to expand...
Thanks for the shout-out.

Honestly, we have no idea how Rennsport will handle mod distribution at this point. They've not told me anything.

It's exciting seeing whats possible, but also a major time-sink to learn new tools for a new sim. Like with AC there's a guaranteed audience for my mods. For any of the new upcoming games... Well we just don't know what'll be popular.

You will be losing quality on the skins that are dropping from 60 > 20MB. They're already likely compressed with DDS and you are just recompressing them into DXT5 format (there's a few different options when compressing/saving as a DDS). If you're happy with the quality loss, which in most cases is probably not noticeable then this sounds like a win win for you, but I can't think of an app that will do what is required in one motion. There may be apps out there that will convert your files to something lossless as a first step so as not to lose quality 2 times, and then repeat the process on those files back to DDS DXT5. There's plenty of apps out there that will convert from one format to another in a batch, google batch image converter and experiment. I'm just not sure about converting DDS * > DDS DXT5 🤷‍♂️

Oh and as said before, CM compress just uses windows built in file compression, it's nothing special. To save you some more space, download a program called CompactGUI https://github.com/IridiumIO/CompactGUI and with it, compress your "content" folder. Use LZX algorithm and even if you have already compressed your mods, you will be surprised at the amount of extra space you will gain. (still using windows compression so no compatibility issues etc)

Hi to All. I found one of my all time favourite tracks on Assettocorsamods today:

Costa di Amalfi

aka Autodromo di Azzuro from Gran Turismo 4. For all of you, who never tried GT4, here some background info: https://gran-turismo.fandom.com/wiki/Costa_di_Amalfi

Hi,
Please can you remove those mirrored files?
They are not authorised as the original work belongs to a Patreon page, and currently available to supporters only.
The track will be released for free to anyone when ready.

thx, yes, I will explore that further... indeed much to be gained with nearly impossible to notice difference in quality.

So you mean CompactGUI LZX compress will give an extra gain over already compressed content folder with CM Compress (also uses LZX as per recommended)?
I will try that, thanks! EDIT: No, this doesn't give any gain on top of the compress of CM Compress tool.


Seems alot of improvement can be made still to the CM Compress Tool... :)

Hello everyone! Is there any guide/video/whatever to use HDR in AC via CSP (DXGI option)?

I'm really confused on how to properly use it. I'm currently using an HDR screen that lists "HDR10" (whatever that means), with Windows 11 HDR setting turned ON.

I just wanted to give it a proper go to make my mind before throwing it in the bin.

If you do not know, how to setup HDR in Windows, please have a look in this tutorial:

It is important you activate FXAA! It is the entry point of many things of CSP!!!

Go to settings/custom shaders patch/dxgi/ check: New DXGI flip model. Then check: HDR support (for HDR screens only)
In CM go to settings/assetto corsa/video/ Uncheck: Fullscreen. While you are there check your resolution and framerate are reporting correctly (adjust if not)
Finally check that you have HDR enabled in windows and your monitor.

Edit: Ninja'd by the Boese. Ignore my attempt.

This will ONLY edit the view with the steerinng wheel. He uses the view just before with the steering column and therefore can only adjust the FOV from that menu. So to be able to adjust the view, he need to unpack the data...

right click on the folder and check Properties/Security/Users, you should have Complete autorizzations (ITA: Proprietà/Sicurezza/Utenti e Gruppi/autorizzazioni: Controllo completo)... seems that you don't have access permissions

Amazing, do you know also how to increase grassfx lod? On some tracks grass is generated everywhere but on others the grass is generated only to a certain distance and it's quite horrible
Click to expand...
Sorry, there is imo no grassfx lod value that we can change. Seems to be hard coded by Ilya.

You can try to make the grass longer or use my settings to make the terrain less shiny. I actually use those by default because there is actually usually no shiny ground in nature.
Except maybe when covered in snow and ice, but then you don't see any grass either. ;)
