Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[StoffelWaffle]

I actually agree about F1... when it's about post DRS/ERS years. F1 2020 does everything so much better (besides force feedback which is numb). And it's a great game and has superior AI to any "real sim", believe it or not. The new F1 titles after F1 2020 vary from meh to awful though.

However I think very few people actually play full seasons. They probably just hotlap the new F1's. When it's about driving feel some modern VRC cars are amazing to drive. But for realistic races in modern F1... it's tough as there are so many rule changes like Q1, Q2, Q3 qualifying and many other variables that are hard to duplicate on AC. I don't know if you can build, say... a 2025 season with tracks where DRS work flawlessly. Maybe it's possible I'm not that much into modern F1 on AC. Max Verstappen said that nothing is better for learning new F1 tracks than AC so the modern VRC cars can't be that bad, huh?

BUT Asssetto Corsa is amazing in classic F1 seasons. There's no way you can play those seasons anywhere else at the same level. For example 1990, 1991, 1998 are amazing quality and when the tracks are cars are well done the AI decent too (when everything has been set up correctly). 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 too. 1998 season is pretty much perfect (thanks to Shi and Thockard). And the best thing about these old seasons is that you can always improve them.

I have created TV graphics for the 80's, 90's and 2000's seasons. They increase the genuine atmosphere so much. Sure you had this stuff on GP4 mods too... but none of the modern F1 games can duplicate the feeling on AC classic F1 imho. rFactor and GP4 at the time were great but compared to AC classic seasons it's like visiting your grandpa.

Some great seasons in AC, you're right. But once we have a direct game to compare AC to it's just so inferior - take kaka's supremely good mods, they drive better than in the original games but we're missing all the stuff that makes a game an experience: the HUD, the tracks with proper ads and the ambience (and the trees when it comes to Korea lol)

When I see the 'quality' of the SD cars (98-99-00) which are the same model with bits changing here and there I just wanna hop on F1C and drive the real stuff you know ?

Same goes for the 80s F1 cars - if you want the full experience you gotta play rfactor because the mods available for AC are so poor (thx SD) or non-existent it ain't worth it.

Kaka's 2008 season doesn't miss the HUD or the ad banners. I made them. The HUD is not perfect but I don't have the ability to code any better. But the HUD is better than nothing. At least it has the correct look. Ads are 100% genuine ads. I made ad banner skins for every 2008 track. Not on 100% correct banner spots on each track but there are no garbage modern ads anymore.



1986 Lotus98T based season is excellent. In my opinion it's better than RSS 1986. Ironically the best AC seasons seem to be the ones that have only one or two base cars (and the rest are skins).

Hmm...Is it just me or should there be a mesh on the fence?

 

[BruceD]

I was reading the Custom Shaders Patch Wiki and realized you can do an "easy" rim swap on cars using a line of code and a *.kn5 file with a single wheel. Are there any rim packs available online anywhere? Or, is there an easy way to isolate only a wheel to make a *.kn5 file? Keeping in mind I have basically no knowledge or skills in Blender or 3D programs. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I have just made a blind attempt at doing this, and while yes I was able to isolate a rim and import it into AC... for some reason there is only a single rim and it's the size of a mountain lol. I have no idea what I've done wrong here but it's actually comical.

If anyone is looking for a 50 foot tall rim, let me know.

You mean like this guy? https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/assetto-corsa-pc-mods-general-discussion.307899/post-14493210

Has anyone had an issue where animating a wing in blender the fbx animation when applied in the KS editor isn't what you exported. Like for instance it keeps picking a random spot in the animation and choosing to split it up from there so it jumps to a different bit at a randomly determined point when it saves it. Another example is it is animating it but its rotating from two positions not marked in the file.

I find the animation of suspension into Kseditor isn't always accurate but works fine on the car itself in game. Maybe try that?

I'm talking about the 80s, late 90s, early 00s. For that we have F1C and GP4 ! We're also missing a 2009 season mod of the same quality as kaka's mods - the Prophetimus mod is good but it's just missing that extra something. I ported all the cars last year but it's missing one big, crucial thing : animated suspensions (and I couldn't be arsed) so I deleted everything.

When you export the FBX file from Blender, you must set "Transform/Scale" option to 0.01 (bottom-left ot the the export popup window).

You havent discrovered the ASR f1 mods yet? they are 80s, 90s f1 cars, and of VRC quality.

Looks like its more about assigning materials at this point, and, well, obviously wheels. Are you using Blender or 3Dsmax? Looks like the scale might be out.

Recommend watching this video by Touge the main guy that did most if not all converts and more for MMW.
Something i can tell you right away is that any object that ends in _T needs to be subdivided with the modifier, 1 is enough but if you want perfect accuracy go with 2.

Oh and some updates regarding the Saleen Mustang GT2

 

[AnklaX]

Indeed. Some tracks were cool. But boy that was a terrible game. It was so bad, it was almost comical. I bought it new for the Playstation back in the day.

That's why those good tracks should be converted for Assetto IMO

why always previews end up more blurry then what the Preview window shows ??

View attachment 1474938
(this is without CSP , with CSP it's even worse)
and no it's not the resize of the ui ... even when I open the full size pic , it's more blurry then on the Previews pane...

EDIT: aargh, and the pics pasted here also loose quality.. so here is a download

please check your preview settings whether DOF is activated. Try to disable it.
Otherwise I can have a look if you share the settings your are using

Lol I have his full 1991/1992/1993 seasons and all his other cars installed but really there's no full experience with his 80s cars since it's just a couple of Lotus, Ferrari and McLaren - not full seasons like the good old mods on rf

Has anyone had an issue where animating a wing in blender the fbx animation when applied in the KS editor isn't what you exported. Like for instance it keeps picking a random spot in the animation and choosing to split it up from there so it jumps to a different bit at a randomly determined point when it saves it. Another example is it is animating it but its rotating from two positions not marked in the file.

Every animation in blender i use the ksanim exporter stereo did. To export ksanim directly from blender. Work much better because fbx animation from blender into kseditor has not been working well. Kseditor much prefers anything that comes from 3dsmax. Only issue is that any animation you do in blender you need to rotate them by 90 degrees in blender before exporting it else it will be rotated 90 degree in game

Did not mention that one or 2007 (close enough sponsors) bc it feels like a standalone game

I'm talking about the 80s, late 90s, early 00s. For that we have F1C and GP4 !

Prophetimus did 2009? I'm not aware of that.
Also huge mistake to delete cars over a simple suspension animation, i could have done them

 

[timetoo22]

I think my biggest gripe with AC moving forward is the quality of tracks, it can be very glaring when you can do all these fancy things with cars yet most tracks bar a tiny few are just stuck in another era, of course you can now add stuff easy enough thanks to the brilliant track decoration, but take Kunos tracks as an example, they really haven't aged well, no life, no feeling there, when you see what some other games tracks feel like in atmosphere its so so lacking, it just hasn't moved on at the same pace as cars.
We can get loads of ace models from other games, but then use them on rfactor 1 tracks.
The tracks where we are moving in the right direction are the photogrammetry ones, and i myself try to use ground shots from google earth to replace the always bog standard green block and grey tarmac blocks for pit areas etc.... its a ball ache though.

 

[Perico Lospa]

... Some here might be changing too many things too often and ends up being in a constant whirlpool...

... and after this creative silly joke, my thoughts about the trending topic.

I only play Assetto Corsa and my experience with other "sims" was with old PS2 games so I can't compare to any other relatively modern game, but by the little I know, I think that the main problem with AC is that cannot handle his success: literally EVERYBODY can "mod" this game, some with more artistry than others, some with certain interests and others selflessly, etc, etc.

Beside, each of us has an idea of what the ideal AC would be, and sometimes we assume that all mods have to work plug and play (like some of the games we're comparing it to, which have less -or any- freedom to mod, or less modders working on them than on AC) and... this is an utopia from the moment EVERYBODY, with or without talent, can tinker with the game and launch his "creations" to the whole world, and EVERYONE have it's own idea of what is a "good" mod, or what is necessary or what not (think wipers, Android, visual damages, sounds, AO, LODS... and so on...).

I think it's been proven that when the stars align, the experience with AC can be incredible. The thing is, aligning the stars in AC requires a lot, lot of work, and if you're very demanding or perfectionist, even more work, and on top of that, that doesn't guarantee that the results will be as expected, which can be very frustrating.

In my case, I've said more than once that for me, trying out things and adapt the game to my tastes is part of the fun, and while it sometimes frustrates me, the times when I actually enjoy the game are far more frequent. It must be that with age I'm learning to become less demanding and to settle for whatever I can achieve and don't worry about things that I can't control.

[fleskebacon]

I picked your first point just to have a laugh, sooooooo (my sleeves are very long to roll)
I actually have 620 racing cars and here is my...

"Triangles Hall Of Fame":
851k rss hyperion
825k rss protech
788k rss furiano
764k Ferrari F40 LM

The one that makes laugh more is the VRC isola/isotta fraschini, in order to use that futureless disgrace of an amateur proto our pcs have to move 710k triangles around the track.

Another funnyfun paradigm is the the rss protech uses almost twice the number of triangles than urd darche992 23.
Is it twice as good? Naaaaaaaaah.

But in the end I don't even have a SINGLE four-figure k triangles model.

And by checking all the payware mods everybody can clearly see that RSS, and lately VRC too, have stopped caring about optimization.
The very good looking ripped Valkyrie appearing on these very pages is a 345k tris model, almost half of the mentioned brands.

p.s.
My point wasn't really try to nuke your point...but it just happened
This plus the fact alone that my AC doesn't wanna race anyway.
The good thing about the 4000k tris models is that they are out so hopefully someone in the future can reduce that frightening number.
Also, in terms of sheer performance: doesn't really care if a model has 300k or 700k triangles because the CSP stuff is making even the lowest triangles model super-heavy.

@kakauiyt
Groan and groan and groan.

At least their cars have proper LODs, so having a main model with (too) much detail doesn't really break the bank. Cars with 350k triangles and no LODs are much more hungry. But 851k triangles...yeah, I kind of agree - that's excessive.

Hey Mr.F302, is there some place where you host all of your cars? I see a lot of cars on your patreon but no downloads. Really looking to forward to the Cosmo LM, Citreon GT Gr.3, and the group 5 cars, specifically the Greenwood C3 whenever those are done.

 

[Burnie101]

Hi everyone. Hope you are all doing well!
I've been a long time lurker and I'm hoping that someone smarter than me might be able to help me out. I've got a bit of an issue with some of the old RSS GT cars.

I'm using the latest CSP preview and Pure LCS. The LCD display on the RSS GT Tornado is almost unreadable. If I switch to Gamma, it's a little better but still quite hard to read. The text seems to get easier/harder to read depending on which way the car is facing. I've tried redownloading the car pack from RSS to see if it was an old version or something, but it's still the same.

Do any of you guys have any suggestions for me to try to fix it? Or could any one else that has the car test to see if it's just me that it is happening to?

Thanks!
