Assetto Corsa thread

[Herr-Berbunch]

Handy tips there, Skybird, thanks.

If either of you want to add me in Steam in preparation for mp release I'm the same name.

That Lotus 49 is evil, a real handful to drive.

Managed a 1:09.5 on Silverstone.

Shortened the final gear ratio in order to get optimal speed on the longest straight.

[Skybird]

The head moves very slowly when wanting to look to the side.

Cure: document\Assetto Corsa/cfg/camera_onboard.ini

[ROTATION]
HEAD_MAX_DEGREES=60
SPEED=4

Replace 4 with higher values. Somebody reported 50 means instant change. Try 25 or so first.

[AsnF]

Go here....
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\system\c fg


Open assetto_corsa.ini file using Notepad


and set
ENABLE_DEV_APPS=1

now when in game and driving.. stop the car.. bring your mouse curser to the right of your screen and you will now see a whole bunch of icons.. look for the one that says, on board setting..

Welcome aboard AsnF

Will try that later, the existing Apps system is all new to me and a novelty that I probably won't utilise very much.

Is that 1:09.5 in the Lotus 49? I'm only down to 1:20.something and that's a fight, mind you if I can keep it on the track it's going to be better.

I'm down to 1:07... in the Formula Abarth.

[Skybird]

Try to stay between the two white lines.

If you still struggle with the Ferrari - mind you, this version of it is a regular street car. Break early before turns. I find the Ferrari to be a joy to drive.

The Lotus 49 - going soft on the pedals is key, I found.

Indeed, I changed the final ratio to the lowest setting for the gearbox. Close to full revs at the longest straight.

Got it down to a 1:08.412. 1:09.5 was with the same setting.

Tried with a change of the rear camber to -0.1, but I didn't manage to set a better time.

It's possible to go a little bit faster, but it's not the easiest car to string together a perfect lap

[Skybird]

You two will have fun once they have opened the parts of the track containing the steep wall-turns.

Spend last night emptying one gas-load in the Ferrari at Vallelunga, and another at Imola - without making driving errors anymore. To me, this sim is about perfecting your driving technique. When you manage to make a round flawlessly and fluid, times start to drop all by itself. Driving fluid in the Ferrari is trump. I love it, it is almost a meditation. Some people in the forum complain about AC having street cars. But that is right what attracts me most.

I suck in the BMW GT2. That thing is brute force. I take 15 seconds longer in it than in any of the other cars. Sometimes I think I finished most of the round driving in reverse.

Is that with or without TrackIR or similar?

[Skybird]

I'll check that. I tried TrackIR early on, but found no reason to use it so far, since there is no "hostiles" on the track and the freedom of hea movement was limited. Two buttons switching viewing directions currently is fully sufficient. But they have to switch the views quickly, for Gods sake.

I have mine fixed at a value of 30 now. Works almost instantly.

Will check TrackIR again.

Possible that it is not yet fully implemented. Many things are not included so far. It's an early-access-beta.

[Skybird]

No chnages with TrackIR when altering that variable. But then, TrackIR currently is really not needed nor any useful at all in AC.

[Skybird]

Note that Spa will come as a separate Premium DLC that comes for free for all early access subscribers - they save double, first the AC 1.0 verison they will have gotten 22% off, and the Spa DLC they will get for free.

Also, Spa and Monza will have both modern and historic layouts. Silverstone will come in three modern layouts.

All tracks are laser-scanned, except the historic ones, of course.

Modded tracks can be expected, since the title is designed to be very modding-friendly, they say. New cars I do not need necessarily. But some tracks I'd be interested in.

I thought that Nordschleife was confirmed. Somebodsy reported just a rumour, I assume. We will see it nevertheless: as later DLC and/or as a modded track.

I would like to see Zandvoort and Suzuka as well.

Good news about Spa, and I think hardly anyone in the forum hasn't requested Nordschleife - that would make a great multiplayer, not a race but as a continuous public pay-to-drive on as they can do now.

As for the car line-up I think it's a bit pants that there are nine separately listed Elise/Exige/Evora models - shows little thought as they're all basically the same but with a tweak to bodywork and/or handling/sound here and there.

Tonight I've knocked a few more seconds off my Silverstone/Lotus 49 time but still not near enough to Lionclaw.

Then I returned to the Ferrari 458 for the first time since I posted about it on Saturday. Well with all the usual aids off it started off great, just missing the pit wall and then nicely down the pit lane to join the track.



Then I ran a little wide at Maggots and on my return to the track (now I've adjusted the tyre-off-track to -1) I got a little airborne. I told you this car would try and kill me, my head appears to be detached from my torso that is still gripping the wheel.

I slid most of the track width, and all of the inside-corner grass and hit the wall at about 25 mph.

The M3 GT2, however, I find to be a fantastic car.
