Here is the Assetto Garage folder. No oldies really, quite a few rally cars, but the quality of the models is all over the place. And since AG deleted their facebook page after claiming to go public this year...I won't hold my breath waiting for these cars to come up to standard

Why is this so important, @daan?
Happy to comply, just curious.
If someone edits a post and it's still the most recent post, then the edit doesn't get registered as new content so it looks like there's been no new thread activity.
Is it OK to double post if it's been hours since you posted, for example?

do you have it from https://gitracing.jimdo.com/downloads/skins/ ?Hey...wheres the link to the livery that i wanted???
On another note, its sad that some of the AC mod sites were down already.
I know a forum where the author of the site is active. He still has most of the skins on his Harddrive. PM me

Multi posting makes a thread look untidy and if you are reading through the thread and move onto the next post, you may think that you are reading someone else's comments.
Double posting is OK if enough time has elapsed (a few hours at least) and no one else has posted in the meantime. It also artificially bumps up your* post count.

I think the issue is when someone fires off multiple posts within a few minutes. I've never understood why people do that anyway, just take a moment to gather your thoughts into an organized post instead of just rapid-firing directly from brain to keyboard and having your thought spread out over multiple posts. But yes, if you've made a post and it's been several hours since anyone else posted, then if you edit your post it won't register as new so nobody knows there's new stuff to read, so then it's fine to make a new post. But if it's only been two minutes since the post was made then most people haven't even had a chance to check the alert yet so the situation with no new alert appearing isn't a problem, so just edit the existing post to add the new thoughts. Makes the thread easier to follow and read and prevents stuff getting pushed to new pages all the time.

By "mods", I'm not referring to "moderators". I'm referring to, you know, the title of the thread:
Assetto Corsa PC Mod Discussion
The problem with people going back and editing their original post (vs creating a new one) is that we're not just talking. We're posting a lot of links for mods that get updated. It's a moving target, so to speak.
I've had several instances where a person, rather than starting a new message, simply updated their old message - which is now several pages in the past (this happened a lot when Apexxer was rapid-fire updating his TSONE mod, for instance).
I then had to go back and scour old posts from several pages back to ensure the person, rather than making a new post with a new link, didn't instead update their old post.
The result is total chaos and non-linearity. It may look tidy to an outsider with no interest in what we're discussing, but if you're actually using the thread to find mods, it's a recipe for disaster.

Uh, Daan is the moderator of this board, he makes the rules and what he says goes. Getting smart with him probably isn't the wisest idea. It's their house, play by their rules or they'll show you the door. When you signed up you agreed to play by their rules.

Guy's, this is not a democracy, their is no debating of what we like better, we are guest of GT Planet here, they are kind enough to provide us a forum at no charge where we can exchange information on our hobby.
So, please, let's try to comply, we have been given direction in a very courteous manner, on how our host would prefer we behave, let's get to it.

hmm... intriguing as an argument (double posting)
When You reply to multiple persons to different questions it is a matter of culture, clarity and politeness to dedicate to each person its own post.
What of difference does it make for the reader to scroll 3 more lines with a mouse ?
anyway, complying to the forum rules is not a problem, but telling people that this is not a democracy, that it is a privilege to be here or that they are virtually bumping their post count, and similar things; although it doesn't have immediate repercussions (reactions) it does no good to any forum.
Do we get a prize when reaching 2 million posts ?
Cheers.

The "Classic Competition Mod"
The "Classic Revolution Mod"

Not really. There's the Quote+ button specifically designed to let you quote multiple people at once, as you can see I've done below with Mr. Dazur's post. That's been the culture around here for as long as I've been here, and you can see I've been here a long time.
More a matter of less mess for the mods to keep track of I think. Plus, by having more content in each post it means you get more content per page which is less scrolling and clicking for the reader and less for the behind the scenes stuff to manage.
It's accurate though. Jordan and Co. are nice enough to provide us this place to discuss our hobby, least we can do is play by their rules. I've been here a long time and seen a lot, as long as you obey a few simple rules you'll be granted a lot of freedom to do as you like, have a lot of fun, and make a lot of friends.

Cheers.

Brandon is awesome, and has a fabulous beard.

I can confirm to have seen a few models that were not built by them... in fact I worked on these few models ages ago with a few friends.
For the other content I can't tell, and can't tell if they got the permissions from the original modders.
Anyway, it is not the end of the world... the models were distributed for free, and you can still find them on rfactor/gtr2/gtl forums.
As I see it, they are charging for the conversion job that takes some time to do it.
If it is legal or not, I wouldn't go down that rabbit hole... we too, about 10 - 15 years ago never get permission from Opel, VW, Ford, BMW, etc. to use their brands, blueprints and designs.
It is a hobby after all... if you wanna pay for it, do it... if not, ask around and you will get what you are asking for
It has always been some kind of grey area, and I admit my guilt for not bothering to contact the big companies to get the permissions sorted... but I never charged a penny for any of my work (hobby).
I see it as a favor to the car manufacturer... a kind of free advertisement... but of course, someone can see it from another perspective...
It is too complicated to get into such discussions... better leave it and spend some time looking around for what you need... the internet is huge and full of good people
EDIT:
No problem @BrandonW77 ...as said, it is not a problem complying to the rules, and I didn't wanted to start a debate about that by any means.
I respect everybody's opinion and point of view... it is not an obligation to agree with them, but sharing opinions and widening our point of views can do only good to everyone of us.
So, to end this, I am asking for some indulgence if I sometimes double post... I've done it for ages, and I am used to write on the forums this way, since IRC end newsgroups times back in the '80.... quoting and answering gives me a feel of a debate, and that is not what I wan't to do... i appreciate more e free flowing conversation than a debate.
(nevertheless, I'll try to bring it down to a minimum )
Cheers, and thanks for taking the time to answer.

How am I "getting smart"? I made a joke, included a smiley to make it perfectly obvious, and explained why the occasional double-post is likely an artifact of what we're doing here. At no point was I trying to be rude or condescending.
I was just trying to explain why the double-posts keep happening. I myself stopped doing it a long time ago, but when you've got guys like Apexxer trying to update their mods frequently, surely we can give them some leeway?
PS - Your language about “play by their rules” and “when you signed up” makes it sound like we’ve joined the military. So, from this ex-USAF Major who’s actually been to lovely places like Kandahar: Lighten up, man. We’ll do our best <smh>
So, to reiterate: People are posting their own mods. Those mods get updated frequently. If they are required to update their original post (rather than create a new one), then it’s going to be very difficult to keep it all straight.
This isn’t just a discussion forum. It’s more like a software repository. I’d rather not dig up a post that’s 8 pages back to find the latest version of a mod.

The military analogy is apt, as a friend once told me this place (and most strictly moderated forums) is not a democracy, it's a benevolent dictatorship. If a CO gives an order you say "yes sir" and comply, you don't crack jokes with smileys.
To be clear, I was trying to help. I've seen many a member go up against mods here and to date the mods have an undefeated record. So that was just my warning to tread lightly, as I've seen similar interactions not end well.Not quite sure how posting an update to a mod that was posted 8 pages back would be considered a double-post, but ok. Typically mods aren't being updated every 5-10 minutes so this is unlikely to be much of a problem. And I'd guess when posting multiple mod links double-posting is fine because it's providing a service and not just cluttering up the thread random jibber-jabber.

No.
That's not our problem.
What you would like to happen in a thread cannot override our rules. However, there is no requirement to put all the edits to a mod in the original post of that mod. That would only be the case if no one else has posted in the meantime, at which point it is still the last post in the thread.
Scenario A: Apexxxxxxer posts a mod. Someone else posts. Apexxxxxxxxxer then posts an edit to that mod.
Scenario B: Apexxxxxxxxxer posts a mod. No one else has posted. Apexxxxxxer edits his post with an edit for the mod.
Scenario C: Apexer posts a mod. No one else has posted, but a few hours has elapsed. Apexxer posts a new post with the edited mod.
The only possible issue you can have with all of that is that you don't get a thread notification for B. As this in a very active thread, I fail to see how that is much of an issue.
This is a discussion forum, and a post will disappear 8 pages back very quickly whither it's a double post or not.

Anyway, there is a topic at hand and we should not take this thread any further away from that.

Back on topic, I spent some time in the LA Canyons last night and I remain blown away. I went to the Freeroam layout and there are just so many different routes to explore and places to stop in look around. There's even intersections with stop signs where you can pick from multiple paths. The textures and scenery have improved MASSIVELY since the early versions and personally I find it beautiful to look at. In VR you can get out of the car and walk around (as far as your cord will allow, anyway) and there are lots of places to pull off on the side of the road and look out over the hills and valleys and water, it's awesome. I'm one of those weirdos that tries to keep it in my lane too.

Hello Everyone. I am not sure if this is the best place to ask but hopefully someone can at least point me in the right direction. First off I am not a modder so this is all new to me. I came accross a 996 GT3 mod and want to try and fix a few basic issues I see with it. The main issue is with the tire size. It has the fronts and rears as being 225/35/R18. That is close for the front but way off for the rear. Below are the wheel and tire sizes as they should be.
245/30/R19
295/25/R19
If I just swap those is there anything else in the data file that needs to be changed? It is such a drastic change from what is there now I just want to make sure it would not mess anything else up.
Ideally I would love to know how to make a correct set of tires in the right size and compound but for now just getting closer would be great.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
