@WVStarship - Have you noticed any differences in performance since compressing your cars/tracks?
There are so many new cars & tracks to drive every time I peek my head in here...I'm going to have to remember to check GTPlanet at least once everyday like I used to.
I"m afraid that we are only machine who turn good food to sh""itYeah but
YOLO!
I've just donated and received content manager.
It works great but there's no menu music.
I don't see any audio settings am I missing something?
There's no menu music in Content Manager. Don't think there's any in vanilla AC either?
That's great news.AssettoLand is alive again but... only some Alfa-Romeo are back for the moment. ;-)

Ah the official YouTube video for content manager has Gran Turismo 5 UI music playing.
Many comments below the video applauded the menu music.
Would be awesome although I can imagine some copyright infringement going on.
Thanks for clearing that up Brandon.
no problem. The real MVP is assettoland (as always)I downloaded it on another site (5 days ago) and tried it after I saw your comment. ;-)
It's a very good mod for sure, not an overboosted one in my opinion but... I was on Silverstone GP, not a hillclimb ! ;-)
The sounds (internal and external) are really good, textures are good, FFB is good and physics seems "logical" to me.
I never done a personal "Top 10" but this mod is very well done, as Wusel said and I will keep it with pleasure.
Thank to Wusel for remind us/me this car !
I looked in the CM settings but I cannot find where to activate the compression.I've noticed no issues whatsoever either with the tracks and cars folders being compressed.
The compression isn't repeated when you add new files, so it's worth re-running it every so often given the rate we seem to add mod content to AC!
I saved about 50% of the space used
I looked in the CM settings but I cannot find where to activate the compression.
Ugh! Never good in VR unless you like driving corpses around.add co-pilot
Thanks for the response. I'll have to try using the compression immediately. As far as SSD's go... That's all I have in my computer. Three SSDs. A 525gb, 256gb & 250gb. It's so nice not having to hear HDDs spinning. The file server, on the other hand, is spin city with all those platter drives. Two 1TB, two 3TB, one 6TB & five 8TB drives. Ugh...I need to hit the lottery.I can't say that things loaded any faster but the reduction in disk space was worth it to me. BUT...if you want to increase the speed of the game loading and generally performing better I strongly recommend using an SSD. I have a Samsung 860 EVO and I was absolutely shocked at how much faster the files loaded and game started after transferring from a conventional HDD. I use Content Manager and it used to take 2-3 minutes for my drive to get everything loaded and quit spinning. With the SSD the drive light flickers 2 or 3 times and it's ready. I'm talking like a couple of seconds, and I have 977 cars and 500 tracks. Finally, I use the Rift for VR and I don't think anything can help AC in that regard performance wise. Dirt Rally, RF2, pCars2, iRacing all run at a solid 90 FPS with my rig. But not AC. Thank God for the Rift's ASW!
Oh, please God... NO! We do not want Kunos to hire Ilja (the creatore of CM). Right now CM is his baby and he can do whatever he wants to it whenever he wants. He can add new features that Kunos probably wouldn't allow like the Replace Tire & Replace Sound. Thankfully, Kunos lets him slide on that and still host a thread on their website. Anyway, we do not want Kunos sinking their claws into our hero @x4fab. Never. NEVER! NEVER!!!CM is so good that I cant understand why Kunos has not tried (if they havent tried already...) to hire them. I think they even did a better job with the UI and gaming features than Kunos...
The solving mod issues tool, how they explain what every graphic setting does, how it manages the content...
@WVStarship , tools? I looked but cannot find "tools" in my CM
Does using compression slow down loading times?
Just wanted to let you guys know that Assetto Land is back again! Corrently only Alfa Romeos Abarths are available, I think They'll add more cars soon.
Thank you, yes I have the full CM, now I should find it, I was searching in settings.Do you have the paid version? I do and perhaps this feature is only in the full version. In any event:
In the top right of the CM screen there should be options "Drive, Lap Times, Results, Media, Content, Settings, About". Click on "Content".
Then, look at the upper left of the screen. The options should be "Cars, Tracks, Miscellaneous, Mods, Tools, Mod Shop". If you see that click on "Tools".
There will then be 5 boxes. The 4th box from the left is "Compress Files". There is a launch button in that box. Press the button and the tool will scan your files and show you a list of what it can compress. There are 3 types of compression; I've always chosen the one that CM recommends.
Hope this helps.
