Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[ales100i]

I suggest you start with organizing, updating, and pruning your current collection.

To get started:
Overtake (formerly RaceDepartment)
ACTK seems to be collecting mods like Assetto Land.
Breathe's track list

You can sort mods on Overtake by star rating and number of downloads. That should give you an idea of "essential" mods. Once you organize your collection, you can ask the community for specific cars and tracks that you're seeking. It can be time consuming to help catch you up after many years, especially if you're the hoarder type.

Race Sim Studio

Race Sim Studio is the leading 3D racing vehicle production team for racing simulators and companies within motorsport.

Hello everybody, I'm not sure this is the right place to post this so sorry if it's not...

After years of not playing any sims, I was excited to get back into AC with Evo. Trying it was cool but the limited amount of content didn’t scratch that itch I got from not playing for so many years, so I want to get in the original game. However it seems like so much has changed that I feel kinda lost.

Back then I was an impulsive mod collector, CM tells me I’ve accumulated 1155 cars and 274 tracks. I was always looking for mods to collect from various sources: I joined countless FB groups, forums and I dug some obscure websites to get hard to find mods. I really liked managing all the content I got, tinkering with stuff to make it better etc. Honestly I had more fun doing that than driving haha.

Yesterday I got up to date with all the new features in CM, downloading the new CSP version to see what’s new and installing the latest version of Pure. It’s impressive how things have changed. However it seems that all the places I used to get mods from are either dead or abandoned. Before spending time looking for new sources I thought I’d ask some questions here:

- What are the best places to get mods ? (is Assetto Land still around ?)

- What are the most essential mods to have ? (tracks, cars, others ?)

- Are there any features from CM/CSP/Pure that I should know ?

- Are there still some obscure places to look for ? (FB groups ? forums ?)

Back then I also purchased some mods made from scratch by talented people, I only remember Race Sim Studio. I was willing to pay for the mods because the price was fair and the quality was excellent. Are they still around ? Are there other groups making such mods ?

Now on a more controversial note. There were other groups making paid mods out of conversions from other games: RTM, Sim Dream, Assetto Drive, Assetto Garage, etc. Are they also still around ? Their mods were fun the tinker with and make better. I used to download them from sources that leaked them. What’s the situation now ?

BTW, if any of you are interested in the mods I’ve accumulated, I can share my mod list (just tell me how). Maybe there are mods in there that are lost and cannot be found anymore.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the wall of text.

There are a lot of excellent track mods , you can find a lot in here Brno is a favourite of mine. As for cars RSS paid mods are IMHO the best mod cars in sim racing , the gt3s are phenomenal. Vrc lmdh protos are top tier too .

 

[jac0]

thats fine, could you provide the ext_config you made? I might be able to fix it

here the skin I made (it includes a upscaled BODYOA.dss which allows for metal_detail.dds to come through, and I also upscaled light.dds) , it's far from perfect but maybe takes you a step closer in the right direction.

Anyone got any experience with this guys mods? Just came across it, Looks like an high quality GT7 convert? really neat tbh

Assetto Corsa - Ferrari 288 GTO

finnbot.gumroad.com

it's a good 288 GTO mod imho , but anyone knows how to make the lights open when lights turned on? (now you need to do that with option B, but i would like to have the animation trigger simply when turning on the lights ...

It's very nice.
There's nothing inherently wrong with the Kunos version of exactly the same car, but this GT(7?) port offers some visual improvements, along with some downsides.
Positives: refractive lights; higher quality/more detailed model; more working gauges; better textures/shaders
Negatives: very dark cockpit; shifting animation clips through the gearstick; 3x the overall poly count; encrypted; LODs deactivated by default (suggesting they aren't great? - EDIT: yes, terrible)

Both cars seem to drive exactly the same due to the shared physics.

Looking forward to further GT ports from this chap. Hopefully unique cars that Kunos hasn't already covered.

Some detailed changes on the Nissan r33 jgtc, getting ready for the beta 10.
I'm looking now for engine sound.
and if someone has a GT7 and the Nissan r34 jgtc SM

Spoiler: More images

[ANIMATION_...]

I replaced "BIND_TO_EXTRA_B=1" with "BIND_TO_HEADLIGHTS=1" does what you need it seems.

You can also change the speed of the pop-up slightly, it seemed a little too fast based on this:

I was falling in the same trap as you seems to be in. Collecting lots of apps and mods that could be an interesting one day but actually I would never use. My statement is after every download do a test ride, not good delete it, keep your overview clear. Be aware sometimes a bad car mod can still be used as an historical correct grid filler.

For the rest if you like real old cars like me, check out:
Fat alfie tracks at Overtake site
Nicecupoftea prewar cars at Overtake
Historical Simracing Studios HSS
VELO
Perendinator
F40_LM_lover as can be found here

Despite all those hallelujah writings here and the not useful 5 star ranking at Overtake, keep in your mind, you can only decide what is good/bad on your specific hardware and use. So here you have to test it by yourself.

Wow. Very different to image 1. The colors and view angle in image 1 did no favors for you.

 

[Alx Hill]

Just in case, while watching replays, your driver dissappears in the car, through certain angles...

Go to Settings, CSP, Graphics Adjustments, Tweaks & untick "draw driver after the car for external cameras".

I hope this helps someone.

Good morning.

I have just tested it, and both cars are working, as you can see on the sharp "Druids" curve at Brands Hatch.Check the CSP, I am using version (2.5).

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks very much for these nice looking additions. I have been enjoying your earlier Brabham as well, but I can't quite find your Copersucar; can you point me to it again? Thanks!

no thanks, gumroad is better

 

[Famine]

no thanks, gumroad is better

Only for the uploader.

GTPlanet is better for the downloader. We don't require people to enter a "fair price" value and a "tip" value (both of which can be zero, in fairness) and while Gumroad requires an email address we don't require registration of any kind to download files. And it's one click, not several pages.

I guess it's whether you want people to play with your mod or whether you want them to jump through hoops and be fooled into paying for it.

 

[Mandolph666]

[Famine]

it ain't a pay mod.

Nor did I say it was.

You can enter any email address anyways

Yes, I know. It's still an additional step - and on page two of four - and along with having to enter a "fair price" and a "tip" (again, both of which can be zero), seems rather predatory.

I also just ran a bandwidth test and Gumroad's was half of GTPlanet's. And hey, GTPlanet Downloads is part of this community too.

Edit: Ope, had a network hiccup. It was less than a tenth; GTP's actually maxed out my download bandwidth (300Mbps). At 2.2MB/s (17.6Mbps), Gumroad wasn't even close...

[Famine]

I ain't changing (whether you like it or not)

Did I ask you to? I was recommending an easier, more accessible, more downloader-friendly resource for you use, and one which is actually part of this community on which you're posting.

Weird, weird response.

Nothing is predatory on it (unless you're blind)

Requiring people to enter values (which can be zero) and email addresses (which can be fake) is predatory: it relies on tricking people into thinking they have to enter actual values - especially as the credit card info screen flashes up when you do so - and valid personal information. It's certainly more predatory than a one-click resource that requires you to enter nothing at all.

Who cares about bandwidth speeds anyway

Higher bandwidth (not speed) equals shorter time to download. Again, downloader-friendly.

we're not all computer geeks

You're posting game mods ripped from one game and modified for use in a second game on an internet forum...

 

[Mandolph666]

Content Removed

 

[Famine]

Yeah. Just because I can get access to them doesn't mean I'll ALWAYS UPLOAD RIPPED MODELS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM? YEAH, I DO LIKE COMPUTERS, BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE WHO MAKE MODS ARE GEEKS. I USE THEM BECUASE THEY ARE MORE ACCURATE THAN BUILT-FROM-THE-GROUND-UP MODELS.

Sincerely not waiting for a response,

Mandolph

Such a weird kickback on a recommendation for a resource built into the site that you're using that'll help you get your mod out to more people. Not sure why the yelling either.

 

[Mandolph666]

Content Removed

 

[Famine]

Because have you seen all of the other modders (A la F302) porting models over from GT7 to AC. Thats fine for you, then when I try to make them, You point it out to me. ???Why???

I didn't say anything about the model whatsoever, and I don't care about it at all.

I saw your post where you said you'd run out of space on your Google Drive and wanted to host somewhere else, and recommended the resource literally built for that on this site. Why you've kicked off about that escapes me.

 

[Mandolph666]

Content Removed

 

[Famine]

Why you even started this escapes my mind too.

I was trying to help you out with a convenient resource.

Just because I said I'm sticking with Gumroad made you go like a bull in a china shop.

Not really. I pointed out the myriad reasons why GTPlanet's Downloads resource is more downloader-friendy than the one you chose after you said that the other one was better. It's definitely better for the uploader in one respect, but otherwise it fails a head-to-head comparison.

If you don't want to use the resource built into this site for your mods you're talking about on this site, that's up to you. I don't really know why there's all this fuss from your end, CAPITAL LETTER SHOUTING, weird things about not being a computer geek, and inventing stuff about the mod itself being relevant.


There is no helping some people.
