hi, if you see it on all tracks now, and it wasn't like that before, you may have changed the "MIP LOD bias" in VIDEO settings?
AC might be the most complete, a jack of all trade of sorts, and as with every game of that type there are some drawbacks here and there - LMU is miles better when it comes to the protos, for example. In AC they feel cartoonesque; but that's what ya get from third party studios vs workers itk. Also rallying is just plain **** in AC but really who the hell does that in AC when RBR exists ? Same with NASCAR and Indycar racing (thank god we're gonna get dedicated games for them!) or modern BTCC (which have... Idk, weird physics?).3 weeks without playing AC.
I've been playing LMU and F12020... and tested EVO new beta too.
Some observations.
LMU drives great. Best GT3 cars by far. Much more enjoyable than ACC and I was able to clock 2:21 at Spa with Aston after rigorous setting tuning. That's 2 seconds faster than my best hotlap time on ACC (which I never really got familiar with). The hypercars drive weird though... when you lock up the brakes the car slingshots sideways immediately. Maybe that's realistic I don't know but they feel weird.
F1 2020: Absolutely SUPERIOR F1 game. Perfect DRS, ERS, tyre/pit tactics, working dynamic weather, pretty good rain physics, AI intelligence that puts every single "real simulator" into shame. AI can use DRS to even prevent overtaking very smartly. Sure... numb FFB but very precise when set up correctly. Superb, realistic races and lap times and amazing presentation.
EVO: Graphics look amazing but still a lot of work. F2004 is absolutely inferior to AC1 F2004. Not even close. AI cars drive like grandmas after a bottle of vodka. But of course those will improve to the final version (I hope).
Then... back to AC1 and testing RMI's 2004 Spa track.
My god AC1 driving is still so superior to anything else. It's just from different planet. LMU might have mastered the GT3 cars but there's no feeling of car weight in the slow corners.
LMU and AC1 have the best force feedbacks. LMU FFB is directly from RF2. Some say RF2 is better but I'd say nothing beats AC1.
Obviously you need 10+ year old force feedback to create a great racing simulator in 2025, huh?
I have a weird feeling that NOTHING will replace AC1... ever. Maybe there won't be another "completely open for modding" racing game ever again as Kunos is not making a dime of people's Patreon pay mods.

Have you tried the RSS GT3s ? I just find it hard to think that LMU gt3s are better than those?3 weeks without playing AC.

Thankyou jac0 ill give that a try.
Well aware the issue is vast majority of skinners back then slightly less so now would work in 2D and the end user license agreement is violated with the model export and yes I have explained this to the devs many times that poor templates leave modders no choice. Having helped make several of the skins in AC and ACC they are all done in 3d anyways by Zelimper and later Tatit both of which have insane talent.Many thanks for your response,
I have looked at the skin and you are right that UV wrapping is not so good.
Many years ago it was a disaster to make such skins yes ,
but now there are programs with which you can skin on the 3D model with Mudbox or Photoshop 3D

but you have to be familiar with these programs for complex skins anyway
which I am not😢
I used to be part of the team left years ago all I help with now is money stuff and references, a lot of racing teams in the UK are very happy to help modding projects. I got access to some BMW concepts to be made in AC which should have been completed years ago if Charles could stop getting his rocks off to anime games.
I do wish one of the teams would go in a different direction rather than playing follow the leader and start pumping out mid to late 90's early 00's Le Mans protos and GT2/3 cars. Really flesh out the fields with left field creations like some of the Spykers, Saleen Mustangs, BMW M3 GTRs, WR LMP, LOLA's and a couple of Courage's! I think there is enough evidence to support that kind of nostalgia.
Yeah, me too! They have to release another pack at some point - just seems a bit strange to label it pack one.
You can't say that and then not share your ffb settings. There must be a law somewhere making it illegal.Obviously you need 10+ year old force feedback to create a great racing simulator in 2025, huh?
No surprise. This is the first track to use the newly added technology in Assetto Corsa.
The issue with that is finding a paying audience. Sure, people say they want this kind of content but are they actually willing to pay for it? Considering how quickly URD, RSS, and VRC content ends up on piracy sites, and the amount of downloads those get, I doubt any modding team would want to take that risk solely for that reason. Maybe a hundred people would buy it, but another thousand would just pirate it instead.
