Content Manager has a tool to compress data.
Yes, i know about that setting in vanilla AC, but any setting for CM ? Cause i don't remember when the last time i open AC via vanilla. Or Vanilla is the only way.
enabling the tick box I believe adds a few lines to data.acd (some ext fixes). If the unable to decrypt message pops up it means the car's encryption is tied to the data.acd (which is the stupidest encryption to have) hence why unchecking the box "fixes" it.
5 dollars for a GT7 / FH5 mashup ? Modding's gone wrong.My personal favourite is Tidy's

Yes in CM there is onboard setting, just like our friend showed above but when you choose this cam (without steering wheel) it won't let you adjust the height position.
I think to adjust the dashboard cam you need to unpack the data.acd, then open "onboard settings" in AC while in COCKPIT (!) view, adjust to your liking and then either "save car.ini" to save it as the cockpit view, or "save dash" to save this cam position for the dashcam.
you clearly did not read my post properly.. as I wrote that I am already using it!
Onboard settings is accessed in game when you move the cursor all the way to the Right of the screen a vertical bar will pop up. Once selected, you adjust the arrows to raise or lower the seat. @OooAhh Cantona - he shows what the icons appear like in the menu (in game). Pretty simple. Hit save and it is always the same when you launch the car. I do this on about 99% of all cars.
Thanks for the shout-out.
You will be losing quality on the skins that are dropping from 60 > 20MB. They're already likely compressed with DDS and you are just recompressing them into DXT5 format (there's a few different options when compressing/saving as a DDS). If you're happy with the quality loss, which in most cases is probably not noticeable then this sounds like a win win for you, but I can't think of an app that will do what is required in one motion. There may be apps out there that will convert your files to something lossless as a first step so as not to lose quality 2 times, and then repeat the process on those files back to DDS DXT5. There's plenty of apps out there that will convert from one format to another in a batch, google batch image converter and experiment. I'm just not sure about converting DDS * > DDS DXT5 🤷♂️you clearly did not read my post properly.. as I wrote that I am already using it!
but on TOP of that , compressing the DDS (with GIMP in my testcase ) got me an extra 50% gain.
60MB dds file with CM compress tool was taking approx 4MB of SSD space,
I compessed it with GIMP to BC3 / DXT5 , resulting in a 20MB file.
The CM compress tool then made this file take only 2MB of space on my SSD.
So I gained an extra 50% of diskspace for this file, even though I was already using CM Compress tool , and the file was already compressed.
Hence I want to find a tool that I can run to do a mass / batch compress of all the DDS files in my content folder,
which will save me I estimate at least 100GB of disk space..
Since my 1TB SSD is almost full , with only Assetto corsa on it , I would preffer gaining some space by having the DDS files compressed as best as possible...
Hi,
