Any idea if this Porsche is out for AC yet? I know there was talk of it being worked on last year but I've been away from the modding scene since that time.

I hope it is what you want.

Sounds to me like they're planning an official mod repository where creators can sell content and Kunos gets a cut (the "synergy" from the article). Of course they wouldn't want copyright infringing material on there.

I guess that makes sense as a business model. Developing a fully-featured racing sim takes a lot of time and effort and the market is fairly small so sales of the base game alone won't keep the lights on. With AC1 they tried to rely on paid DLC packs but ended up competing with hundreds of talented modders. And people really hate subscription models so why not go the app store route.

Assetto Corsa EVO open to supporting mods in a “more creative way” than the series' original

Developers Kunos Simulazioni are considering "supporting the good modders in a way that can create a synergy between the studio and the most talented creators."

All good news, grafters who encrypt **** from other games and / or hide their stuff behind a Patreon / boosty will finally need to get a job instead of relying on other people's work to make a living lmao

Oh and it'll be an EASY-free game so I can't wait to buy it.

Did they really compete with modders though? Has anyone here actually gone "I'm not going to buy the Kunos version of a car, I'll use this mod one instead" ? They've sold tonnes of copies of the game and, no doubt, the official DLC.

I meant more in the sense of people not buying DLC packs they're not super interested in because there's enough free mod content to keep them busy. But I agree that's probably a minor factor compared to looking at the success of RSS/VRC and thinking "wouldn't it be nice to get a piece of this action".

Why not download our 1983 grid ? It is complete. We are just mopping up a few missing liveries for 2 911s. The Kunos 3.0 RSR is super close to a 930 looks and performance wise around the Le Mans track. There are several 930 Turbo mods out there though but we didn't think it made a difference for the set for now.

what i dont get when i got the 1966 one, is why there are several models of the same car in that pack? for the skins are you guys making them and if so why not just choose one model?

Whatever it will be, i really hope they put an SDK in conditions that allow most people to make good quality mods, such as basing it also on Blender 4.1. One of the reasons of why most people copy paste things from other mods or just steal. If they make that easy for everyone, nobody is doing anything ilegal. This happen in rFactor2 where the SDK is so tedious that it's almost dead (sorry but this is true) most of the mods are bad quality...

I'm not against the aproval of mods, I like that idea, but at least I hope it's not closed to 'modding studios' but open to everyone who want to do something decent or just whatever thing whenever is not ripped or something.

Things to avoid in the next AC Evo SDK if they want a good modding community

1. No Blender in SDK, only 3dsmax (paid program at 279€/month)
2. No physics guide, no explanation on nothing on this side (and no, the AC forum guides are not worth it totally because they don't cover all and you are totally dependant on reverse engineering which is lame as heck)
3. People reuploading your mod, whenever is free or paid (this last is more frustant) and getting profit of it. Sometimes even more than you.
4. People stealing your 3d model. There should be a showroom where you can't get the 3d model with a simple button.

Pit stop menu

I cannot see my pit stop menu anymore, it is stuck on the right side of my screen, I can see the edge of it, but I cannot drag it back toward the center of my screen.
Help!
 
good evening, can anyone identify this logo (in the white circle)? I understand that the picture quality is poor, but maybe someone will recognize it by the silhouette.

Many tried, many failed.

Best exemple would be Bethesda. Skyrim is the most modded game ever as of today, by a fair margin. Bethesda wanted to regulate the offers (and get a cut on the way) for the future and opened an "official" mod-market-place for Fallout 4. The result is closer to a no-man's land full of official money-trap cosmetics, while the real mods are all over the internet, not even hidden. They probably didn't abdicated yet, we will see, but the reception was... cold. And Bethesda is very-much used to get colds from their gargantuan community.

In the last 15 years the modding scene has changed so much it became a business for some, which was impossible to even comprehend in the past. Everyone wants a piece of the cake, and tend to forget why they were successful in the first place.
Worst case scenario would be an encrypted-type system around a marketplace were only "approuved" mods could be used in the game. History told us it's basically a death sentence, for the modding scene and for the game itself. And as Rmi rightly said, it's pretty much despotism.
Best case scenario would be kind of the same without the encrypted part, keeping the quite mod-friendly architecture of the game but with an official place, and very much official payment system, like Bethesda's attempt. If that's so, not much impact I guess, and I don't expect a different outcome. But what do I know, 15 years ago It would've been unthinkable to ever see a "paidmod". The world is changing...

Or it could be like Farming simulator where you have a mod hub from modder right in the game with most mod having real names...

A lot of mods requires you to have certain DLC already, so you got no choice of getting them anyway

If there are examples were that system worked and is still working, good to know.
I don't like it, but it doesn't mean it cannot/shouldn't succeed.

That's a slightly better quality image but still very vague, it appears "Blue Label Racing - Restoration & Service" look after the car, maybe you could contact them and ask for more information? Just an idea as that logo looks like it will be very hard to decipher, hope I am wrong!

Uploaded a new version of the track. Sorry, no small update file this time. Use the link in the above quote and make sure to delete your previous track folder.

None of the changes are major so i'll list what's new in case they don't interest you. If not, you can skip this update.

-- Fixed the concrete edge on the carpet in the last turn. Now everything should match.
-- Separated all of the bridge\ad banner meshes so I could give some of the bridge ones emissive values at night.
-- New sidelines for the GP layout ai. I included the original ai if you don't like the new one so you can revert back to it. I tested the new ai on the F1 layouts with F1 cars and it works fine. If you like to new GP layout ai, you can copy it to the F1 layouts. You may need to rename the ai_hints files for the F1 layouts in order for it to work right, but I would test it first.
-- I made all of the kerb cones non-moveable objects because I couldn't get past how big they were. If you prefer the moveable cones, enable the 'Optional Moveable Kerb Cones' track skin.
-- I added some additional light poles around the track. I have vision issues driving at night and found it hard to race on this track at night because a lot of the areas were unlit. I realize they are not true to real life, so they are hidden by default. If you'd like to try them out, enable the 'Optional Extra Night Lights' track skin to make them renderable.

I think that's everything, but i'm probably forgetting something.

I'm an idiot. I forgot to change the folder name in the camera_facing fle for the GP and Intermediate layouts on Istanbul. Extract and replace the two files included in the attached .zip file to get the people back in the stands. The F1 layouts are fine because Pyyer made his own crowd facing setup.

Because there were different sub models in the race (there wasn't just a single 'type' of GT40 that entered). There were also different types of 365s (including a spyder). The #12 and #14 GT40s had a 4.7 liter v8 and the others a 6.7 liter. Different performances. We strive for accuracy so if a different model raced, we choose that. It is also for instance why the #53 SP66 races with no tail as it didn't in the real race.

I would just email and ask. I had a question today about a rev limit for a Konrad Group C car and got an answer by email from Franz Konrad himself in about a hour.

I think thats the only rational conclusion they had to draw from the past. If they want to support modding, maybe even on the consoles, they must have an own shop and then they must handle copyrights. And also in this way imo, they made a decision about support work. I think they will focus on the bigger modding groups and more professional modding people. So people wiith a decent work skill and a decent mind for customer support.

AC modding was fastly slipping out of their hands. They were only be possible to handle this in the first 2 years or so. Then the things getting to heavy to handle this. So they trying to limit their own support work to handle the modding in a practical way, where they still have the power to prevent the usage of a mod, if there is a copyright problem.

Imo that means that there will be a restricted shop, where modders must be approved to share their things, paid or not will not be the question. But i think it means that AC EVO modding is completely different to AC modding in terms of the community.

Even if people find a way to hack their own "not official" mods into AC EVO, Kunos can say, "they hacked it". And maybe it will be a little battle and restrictions get harder and harder.

I can't say that this is a bad decision by Kunos. Its the only logical way they can go, if they want to keep the full control over their product. I think they never thought that AC would be that great and things fastly get over their heads, but not because they are bad developers, but because they developed a fantastic base for a racing/modding like sandbox and NO company can handle such anthill.

So at the end its what i though till the first announcement of AC EVO: There will be a movement of casual racers to AC EVO for sure. People who just want to race, like AMS2 users. But for the rest of the players that fumbling around, collecting whatever cars, fun players and "just drivers", AC can still be the place to have fun on a decent level.

I think with AC EVO, AC gets more and more the "black sheep" in the racing world, because it will be mostly the only place where uncontrolled modding is possible (in a good and bad way for modders and their copyright issues)

You should use the Extension folder allowing you to change model aspects of different skins. So for example that #53 car, instead of having a whole seperate model, rather have use the model replacement config to take the tail off the car. In most cases it wouldn't even need you to edit the original model. Saves you time as the modder and saves HD space for everyone.

They are not really competing with modders at all, A good chunk of mods needs various DLC's due to people re-using assets from those DLC's. Everytime you see someone asking what version of AC to buy they are told to buy the Ultimate edition cause it's the one that includes everything and wont cause you to get miss match for online use etc.

3DSmax can be pirated so easily that an 10 year old can do it, There are entire subreddits dedicated to pirating 3DSMax etc. Good luck limiting it to 1 program
