Hello everyone, I have corrected the following problems with the Abarth 124: the windscreen wipers sinking into the windscreen glass and eliminated two holes in the lower corners of the windscreen. I attach photos and links:

Found a weird one, lilski's Road America going over the start-finish climb, if you try to pass on the outside there is a hole the car just fell into....I thought the Ai hit me until I watched the replay....

AI cars also like to slam on the brake at the start-finish:

oh thank goodness, this isn't the only bug i've noticed. When doing a weekend race at RA, some position between 15-25 on the grid will not go when doing a standing (or rowling) start

Thanks a lot; it's one of my favorite cars irl, is becoming a classic... I wish I had bought it when I had my mid-life crisis, but my money was only enough for a 595... 😅

I just picked up AC a week ago. Before I start trying any mods I want to make sure I know what I'm doing. Many tutorial videos I've watched show a file in the AC file called MODS but no one has said if you have to create that or is it already there? But a few other videos I've watched just show the mod file being dragged and dropped from your downloads folder straight over into Content Manager to load from there. Are both methods ok?

i have just looked and my assetto does have a mods folder but no actual car mods in there. all my mods are in the car's folder. so aslong as you put the car's files into the cars folder you should be good to go if installing manually. if installing a car through content manager then yes, its drag and drop

if you do not have a cars folder if running vanilla ac then it may go in a different folder like mods i'm not sure, i have never used assetto without content manager i am sure someone will tell you a little more than i can as i am not sure if the file structure is different without content manager

As an collector of the old stuff, is this the same car as can be found, but now being deleted on RD?

Well, ACTK did improve the car, the rev counter numbers are now visible.

As I said, I've watched a bunch of videos on Youtube. But I've seen conflicting way to add mods which was confusing me. I'm brand new to all of this PC stuff especially mods. I've tried some mods on Automobilista 2 and they have crashed the game so I want to try and avoid that with AC.

I dont recommend using the drag n drop to CM to install mods, not all mods are compatible with that way of installing.
Open the archive (zip, rar, whatever it is) and check the folder structure inside. Some mods have the paths already mapped out, so you only need to drag what is inside, to the assettocorsa folder, where you installed it, not the one in documents.
if the folder in the archive is only the name of the car (or track) extract (drag n drop) to the cars (or track) folder. The default path where AC is installed is usually C:\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa so cars would go into C:\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\cars\ replace cars with tracks for tracks. Other mods have files that are required, such as fonts, etc. Those usually have the content folder in the archive.
Checking the structure inside the archive is your best way of avoiding any problems. Ive seen cars and tracks released where there is a folder called xxcar v2.1 (as an example), then inside that is the file called xxcar. rule of thumb with cars and tracks, the folder with the car name should have the *.kn5 files and other folders like animation, extension, skins, texture, sfx, ui and maybe data (if no data there is likely to be a file called data.acd) if in this case you put the folder xxcar v2.1 into the cars folder, you will get errors. you would need to take the subfolder and contents and paste them into the cars folder so you would have xxcar in the cars folder. Check the folder structure of default cars in the cars folder to see what I mean. Tracks is the same.

I have found often that youtube videos can be confusing when you are new. I had problems installing SOL after watching you tube. If the mod has a readme, you are better served reading that first.

Thanks. Opening the archive is something else I'm questioning. I have win rar for those types of files but that's all I have. Do you need to have the particular tool to unzip the folder in order to look inside of it if it's not just a regular zip file? The two mods I got for AMS2 that worked were both rar files. Each of the ones that crashed the game were hosted by some other file host that I don't have their unzip tool and I'm wondering if that's what caused the crash.

Some mods are archived in "7zip" you can download 7zip for free. It maybe easier for you to create a "ACMod" or whatever folder in your desktop. Extract the files to this folder, then you can examine the folder contents.

Don't worry you'll get the hang of it in no time. It's an exciting journey but could lead to severe addiction. You've been warned!

Ive always opened the zip, rar or 7zip files in winrar, I dont use anything else, though I have 7zip installed, I find winrar easier.
It should be all you need to open the files you download that are a complete mod. If the file is a .kn5 file, you dont want to get into opening those, thats an entirely different kettle of fish, and we wont go into confusing you more with that.
Ive never looked at AMS or AMS2 mods, so I cant compare to those games.

Does anyone know where the original files are for this track (Texas World Speedway)? I cannot find them anywhere. Thanks! I get the error message "track not found". I noticed all the other tracks have a data file, which was not included with this download. I only want the original files so the track will load.

@RMi_wood's random CSP tip #437

Remember kids, ext_config.ini is read hiarchaly top to bottom

therefore:
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE= 0
MATERIALS= your_material
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.22
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.21

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE= 1
MATERIALS= your_material
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.22
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.21

is not the same as:
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE= 1
MATERIALS= your_material
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.22
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.21

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
ACTIVE= 0
MATERIALS= your_material
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.22
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.21

* a very simplistic example

While I'm asking questions, you don't know how to fix this do you?



I'm playing on a 55 inch tv and all of the menus are incredibly small. I did figure out how to get the main game menu enlarged but everything else is on the HUD and the setup menus are tiny.

I tried the rolling start app. Technically it works, the point is that at the start some cars remain stationary on the grid causing crashes (and those behind flashing / honking their horn). In practice it becomes unusable, also because when someone manages to wriggle free from the accident he doesn't join the others but stays behind :irked:

Yes, sounds promissing, but...

The rolling start mod is working on simple circuits like the Indy 1966 oval. Maybe at more complex circuits like SPA, its were the mod shows its limitations .
From what I think should be improved, middle in the rolling start there is a point were you can raise your speed, think here the mod does do a recalculate for the second half of the 2 rounds.
Despite the video is showing a side by site rolling start in a very disciplined order, in my case its like all cars are always trying to have an position behind each other’s. BTW, I used the out of the box settings.
Would also like to see a safety car in this mod.
I did this test using 25 vintage Indy cars on the Indianapolis ‘66 circuit while I was at the 23 position, I did not noticed any car not starting or have seen collisions, during the rolling start. Maybe there is a limitation on the amount of cars to doing the AI calculations.

Rolling start mod is not perfect, yep it needs some improvements and I guess only for simple oval circuits its a nice addition. In my case, until nothing better is being released this mod is a stayer on my SSD.

Edit, I did do this in the Surfaces.ini file: “changed the original WAV_PITCH= to WAV_PITCH=extended-0 rather than add a new line WAV_PITCH=extended-0 at the end” as been published in the txt file. Maybe here I did introduce a different behavior, please correct me and let me know if this is true.

Content Manager would help, I think the Vanilla launcher doesnt support higher resolution than 1080

I have to uninstall it too for now. To be honest, I'm more annoyed by the fact that the AI stalls at the start and stays there forever, which I've never been able to fix (which doesn't depend on the app itself). Another thing that I hope will be implemented in the future is to apply the rolling start in the same way that the csp applies the rain tires, without changing anything in the files but automatically. I can't deny that I think this app is a game-changer with a lot of potential, especially for those who like me often race offline.
 
I have tried to use [MODEL_REPLACEMENT] CSP function to change wheels but sometimes I have new wheels bigger than expected or not really in the perfect place (too much out or into the body).
Is it possible to fix size of the wheel or the position of the wheel into config file ? or maybe in Data ? and how ?

Thanks

EDIT : I have tried to use SCALE and OFFSET paramters like in this but without success (any change ingame) :

That’s why I did start in the back of the grid to get a good overview on what’s happen. In my case no car did stall, all cars did move and none did collided to a wall or another car. It could be its the type of (simple oval) circuit, CSP version depending, a AI setting in CM, or the WAV_PITCH=extended-0 (overwrite or extra) in surface.ini. I’m absolutely not a guy with knowledge on that point, I’m only a user.

A potential that won't be fulfilled by the author, he does not intent to work on this any longer, hopefully someone else can keep improving it.
