Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

the ac.getFolder() command just return the preset folder paths from CSP:

So in this case it just loads a certain setting from the assists.ini
This command is an easy way to get a certain AC settings or data folder.

The only thing you should look for suspicious things if you see a "os.xxxxx" or esp. "io.xxxxx" calls.
Then something tries to access Windows system functions. But also this is not suspicious at all. Like if you load or write files, you must use this functions. But then again it relies to the logic or functionality why this commands are called.
Like this is a function to save a file:

But also then again it matters where and what file is writing it.


You can write scripts with lua or python to delete your AC settings or AC root folder. But also any other app on your PC could do this.
It is like with everything. Maybe only use things from trusted persons and avoid people you don't know, even they have the supreme special ultra mega best car or track mod on this planet...

mostly solid advice here, "os.xxxxx" or esp. "io.xxxxx" calls are "on the money"
all files/folders can be read/write/execute from the target system

Its probably wise to not take this topic too far in public.

Another fun CSP mystery!!
Been lapping the '58 Holden FC for a good 10 laps at Bathurst and Nordschleife with no problem at all.
I pick another track and then the car is not there anymore!!
Load fin into CM Showroom, Kunos Showroom. I can update preview just fine but no car when the track load up!
Any track will do the same. tried reverting to an older CSP version but then the game just crash before loading.

Any other car work just fine...

CSP 0.3.0p212
PURE 3.15



Anyone ever had this happen?? HELP !! 😭

I hope lua public image will not became new boogyman. Because lua does amazing things to Assetto corsa.

In the skin folder, is there an ext_config.ini file?

Looks like this is adding the endurance lights option.

Python apps were already quite capable, lua is just the new scapegoat indeed.

For some reason i see that as a positive reminder. The apps and mods on reputable sources have a proper peer reviewing. When i discuss AI apps with other modders, we share our code. Hard to integrate anything malicious if 50 people are lurking into your code on each update😉.

The pirated and shadowy sources of mods however, especially obfuscated ones (ya know, the one with encrypted bits), are way riskier. Guess it depends on your sense of adventure.


Funny thing, that last security drama comes from an encrypted ppfilter that was sold... On Patreon. Since it was apparently running like crap perfwise, someone just decrypted it, discovered it was a ripoff of another ppfilter (bonus), and exposed the malicious bits as well.
More details here :

Something to remember, the guys behind those scams are rarelly the crunchiest chips of the bag. They run their activities far from your usual talented modders... And trusted mod places.

True, true. It is not easy to put malicious code in transparent environment. And I believe this did not happen that often. Its just I already see that public is getting nervous and searching for a bad code everywhere. So it worries me, in a way that lua will offer for Assetto some bright future, but current situation may harm it.

Here is a pretty interesting recent release.

The Gran Turismo 4 Test Track for Assetto Corsa. It has working AI but no track cameras.

DumbAI

Oct 18, 2025

app written in lua to make new race strategies and some small adjustments to the AI of AC/CSP

• ancient_3
• Miscellaneous

Hi friends !

I just made a important update for DumbAI app which is now in version 1.1.

For those that don't know the app, it provides new AI race strategies for single user races. To do so, I have completely rewritten the fuel and tyre management system of AC/CSP from scratch. DumbAI also makes some small adjustments to the AI behavior of AC/CSP during races to try to enhance realism, like Blue Flag behavior or the possibility for AI to run out of fuel.

The app is based on the choices you make for a default tyre compound for the race and some kind of rules for the race. Before starting the race, it will then automatically compute a fuel & tyre strategy according to this choice and the kind of race rules you chose.

Alternate choices can be generated for each bot which leads to diversity of strategies in the race, taking into account the qualifying results.

There is a load/save settings system so that you can design you own strategies once for all.

The app works only with CSP 0.3.0preview212 with no encrypted cars.

While I'm happy to have released this new version, please keep in mind that the app is now worth of 1300+ lines of code , hence the debug, especially in the AC/CSP context, is some kind of challenge and I lack a bit of free time now.

So I will be very happy if you notice some strange/wrong behavior and report them in the DumbAI dedicated thread. And if you like the app, don't hesitate as well to shoot a message there , this is not mandatory but it still always makes everyone happy

Does anyone have an addon to add DRS zones to:

• Prague by ДЯДЯ ДИМА - Interestingly, this one does have detection zones, but no actual DRS zones.
• Deep Forest Speedway by Aoitori
• Paris by Calimero 0euf (Preferrably Eiffel circuit, but i'm not picky)
• London Street Circuit by Nobody
• Barcelona Street Circuit by Liquidskyman
• Chicago Street Circuit by Reboot Team
• Trial Mountain (trialmountain)
• Rio De Janeiro by Escort3905 - This one also has only detection zones, at least on the national layout.
• Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez by H22 (Preferrably layout 8, GT Circuit)

Why not choose the one from RSS?

 

[BrettG77]

A request please, is there a version of classic Wigram Airfield, a convert from GPL or somewhere, it's a great little track, racing around the hangers... I've looked at the listing, there maybe one, but I've searched and come up short.
