Who hell he? Never heard of Mod Shop. Shall investigate.

Edit: need a link buddy. Google is sending me all sorts of odd places.

Edit 2: I'm a dumbass. Of COURSE you were talking about CM. D'oh!

Gotta say I don't like the way car and track mods are now installed - it's more fussy than before and needs an additional mouse click. I can't understand the reasoning behind it.
Really? At least we don't have to download it manually, drag it to CM to install because CM does download it once you click the download button, but it's put in a Temp folder and tossed as soon as installation is over. I have hundreds of GB of downloaded Cars & Tracks. I think it's exactly like it was before the Mod Shop except CM handles the archive instead of us. Plus, let's say you download 3 cars and 3 tracks from RD via the Mod Shop. When you hit the hamburger menu button that would be colored green, as soon as you hit "Install All", boom 6 mods installed all at the same time. I will admit that it's not necessarily some big time saver. Being able to drag & drop mods into CM was probably good enough, however, it saves us from dealing with the archives after install.

I've only tried the Mod Shop with Race Department even though I added AC Club and one other one. I can't remember.

I was a bit pissed when I realized Ilja removed the Content & Server section headers, but you can bring them back via a checkmark in CM Settings > Appearance. I've already gotten used to not having them there. I almost never used Server and while I do use Content a lot, I believe I see why he did this. The only remaining section headers are Drive, Lap Times, Results, Media. All of those have something to do with driving...whether it means going onto the track or watching your replays of driving or looking up your driving lap times. The hamburger menu now contains all of the Maintenance & Settings stuff now.

I do think it's kind of odd, but I'm sure there's a reason behind these changes. CM is starting to get a little bit cluttered, imo. Maybe x4fab is trying to re-organize?
 
Must have.

No way... :mad: What a jerk. That's J3DModding.com, right? Man, I knew there was something I didn't like about that guy, going all the way back to when I first came across one of his mods on Race Department. Rude and arrogant and thinks very highly of his work while criticizing others. Screw him.

While reading your chat with him, when I got to the part about 24 cars I went, "WHAT?!" I jumped into Explorer and looked at my folder...I thought to myself, "Damn...Silvio only shared one of those cars out of 24?!" :lol: ;) :guilty: I read his writing to mean 24 different cars just like you did...so it's not like you misinterpreted what he wrote. If I were you I would have been expecting the same thing too. Before anyone says, "24 cars is ridiculous to think...maybe 2 or 3 cars at the most!" the reason I disagree is because I've come across some other modders, like a J3DD - they tend to be capable of quality comparable to J3D Modding. Not awful, but no where near A3DR.

On some Russian site, I believe it was a Lada, but I'll never remember the model number. Anyway, this modding "team" was selling that Lada and there were like 10 different versions of the car. One would come with windshield removed. Another with rear boot cover removed. One with dropped suspension just a little bit, but I think it came with wider tires. And that's not even counting the various Steps they were including. Several of these Steps/modified versions were offered in RHD & LHD too. There was a ladder of cars with increasing power. These guys would say things like, "added MagnaFlow exhaust, replaced front brake calipers & pads to Brembo"... you know, stuff like that getting into the spirit of simulating the vehicle. Hmmm...It wasn't a Lada. This is going to drive me nuts and I probably won't be able to find the site...ugh!


Has anyone used Mod Shop yet? It's awesome!! :D :cheers: I don't even know how he thinks up these features. :lol:
https://hms-44.webself.net/ That"s site where i found mod. But if you read our conversation you"ll see he said his price is 5 € for everybody. Well i payed for everybody. Enjoy guys

Have you figured out a way to save your own links to the source list? I was able to copy/paste my own link into the shop and use it, but I could find no way to permanently add it to the list.

Also, do you have to delete the site in order to have go to another? I can't figure out how to have more than one link on the bar at the same time. I keep deleting the site, than adding the next one from the source list.

I need to have a closer look at this. I'm still downloading separately and drag/dropping, which is definitely clunkier than before.

Do you see all the way down in the lower left corner, there is a PLUS SIGN button? You need to be in Manage Sources, then hit the + button. Add New Website box will pop up. It says "Enter URL for a new website", but don't do that. Hit the drop-down arrow and select the line for racedepartment.com (4th in the list, I think). All those sites that were in the drop-down list have already been figured out for CM to basically press a download button for you. As you can see in my screenshot I have added 3 websites. Do this each time if you want to add more than one site.

Now up top you'll see that Manage Sources is still highlighted. Make sure there is a check in the first checkbox about "Download files". I think it does by default, but just make sure all three are like that. You select the website you are "managing" on the left-side list of sites. Now go to the same horizontal line as Manage Sources but select the Assetto Corsa Mods | Race Department which should be somewhere to the right of "Manage Sources". The Race Department Website should pop up now. That's CM's web browser. Go ahead and sign in to your account. I don't know if you NEED to do that, but I had a problem that went away sometime after I logged into my account yesterday.

Now you should be looking at the list of mods/skins/etc for Assetto Corsa on RD. Click a car or track you're interested in downloading (uninstall one or two the regular way if its the only way to practice this installation routine). Now, I've clicked the regular blue Download Now box, but I've also clicked the box called "Install" that's in the web browsers address bar all the way to the right. Either one of those should work and you should see a notification box pop up in the lower-right saying that CM is downloading <insert mod name>. You'll also see that the new hamburger menu has turned green.

Use the web browser in CM like you would use your default browser. Go pick another car or track to install (not skins). Follow the same procedure. Okay, let's say that's all you're interested in - those two tracks or whatever. The green hamburger button might be scrolling a down arrow which means CM is still downloading the mod to your computer. Once it's back to just a green hamburger button go ahead and press it. At the bottom of the menu now it should list the 2 mods you asked CM to download. They're still not actually installed yet, but thats good because you'll see that it might say you've got a New Track - Daytona & New Car - Chevy Pickup, or it might say that one of the mods is an "update". I'm pretty sure that just means that it currently has the same exact kn5 file installed into your AC game. Good modders will put a version number, so if you see your version is older you can remove it from the list and not overwrite anything. Well, if you're happy with both mods hit the Install button at the very bottom. Someone gave me a nice car mod pack earlier from AC Sim Dreams - it had like 14 cars in one rar file that I had to download manually because it wasn't on Race Department and I didn't know how to automate the site it was on. The list underneath the hamburger button showed me that 11 were brand new cars to me and 3 I already had installed. So, I unchecked those 3 and hit Install and it installed all 11 cars in 2 seconds.

That's it.

The only real difference that Mod Shop makes, as far as I can currently tell, compared to downloading the two mods to your HDD and then drag&drop them into CM - you get the same list asking if you want to upgrade or install as a final check...there is no cleanup afterwards. Last week you would now have to decide if you want to hold onto those 2 mod archives and if so, put 'em somewhere...or if you don't want to keep them you have to manually delete them. That's about all that I can currently see as being the difference. I'm sure I'm wrong and I just don't know it yet. There's gotta be a reason x4fab went thru all of this trouble, ya know?

Go into the ABOUT section of Content Manager and look over the last couple of Release Notes and especially "Clicking Download Buttons Automatically" in the Important Tips section right next to Release Notes. You'll see that there is something else going on with this Mod Shop - frankly, I'm already impressed. It's saved me quite a bit of time already.

SKINS:

Ugh. The same deal applies with Skins. You can't go to Race Department and throw two BMW M4 skin packs, a new Lambo GT3 skin, Abarth 500 Esse Esse skin and a Ferrari 458 GT2 skin into your download queue and hit INSTALL the way you can with cars and tracks. If you do, those skins are going to end up in the wrong car's Skins folder.

If you want to install two new skins for your Corvette C7R, you better make sure your Corvette C7R is you're "selected" car in Quick Drive mode AND Content > Cars. Once you select the Vette in Quick Drive mode, just hover the mouse over the preview pic of the Vette and that small round circle appears to get you into Content > Cars as fast as possible. Now you can install your two new skins for the Vette.

I hope I've helped in some way.
 
I never noticed the buttons in the lower left-hand corner; thank you for your help. And, yes, the skins are a problem. I learned the hard way that they will probably end up under the car currently listed in content. I have never done a drag & drop to install a file. Before this shop arrived I always manually installed everything. Amazing what this little program can do; I don't think the developer ever sleeps. :)
 
I *think* (pray, hope) that the latest update has somehow solved my CM window scaling issues that randomly happens between VR races.

There were no problems during a two-hour session last might, anyway.
 
Did anyone already tested Mountain Route? Do you like it? It is already on my harddrive but have to try it myself.

http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/mountain-route.19311/

Not yet but I plan to tonight.
I've recently added Road Atlanta, Road America, Bathhurst, Virginia and Circuit de la Sarthe.

Sarthe is VERY good and really surprised me. I must of done 10 laps in the BMW GT2 before I realized I was late to work yesterday.
 
Saw this on Facebook, personally I'm a big fan of the AC Legends mod so look forward to trying this out.

[RELEASED] FORMULA ONE 1975
From the golden age of Formula One, now brought into your mancave, this is the Assetto Corsa Historic F1C 1975 mod!

The origins of this mod are from the early days modding heroes of simracing. Therefore I would like to thank Team CREW for the original Mod; further credits in the release notes, download link below.

Special thanks to:
-Donnie Heerdt/ Smallblock Hero for all the modding lessons & Ned for his awesome skins.
-F1 Classics Forum

This is a conversion of the original mod to Assetto Corsa, with two ks models (Ferrari 312T and Lotus72) added. Therefore you will need the Lotus DLC to play the Lotus 72E. Installation of these cars is explained in the attached PDF also filled with lots of background information on the cars.

Enjoy and may the downforce be with you!

was any one able to get the Onroak Automotive on Assetto Land?
Yes, why - have they been removed? I was literally just playing with them. Seem pretty good, The steering animation was wierd beyond 90 degrees, but they drive really well. Where were they from?

Edit: just checked, the links are still active.

Yes working now, thank you for checking, when I tried earlier the link was not working. They look interesting, no idea where they are from originally (and I don't care :mischievous:). How do they drive?

OMG, thank you so much for this information, I'm so grateful !

I tried it and... so amazing, the whole work is very well done, top quality.

Bye "letdown427" and thank you again ! ;-)
 
^^^ My god, is there a worse file sharing site than Depositfiles? What a total pain in the ass it is to use.
After interviewing 75 random people on the streets of New York, the answer is..."No!" There is not a more terrible sharing site.

I love it, I just wait for you guys to name the good mods and I go download them. :lol: I was able to get the Oreca and the four Onroak cars. Thankfully the link came back.

Aww man...Two of my favorite cars in the world is the Ferrari F430 & F430 Scuderia. I've been running Assetto Corsa for 2 1/2 years and I have never been able to come by what I consider to be a good F430 mod. I don't know why...I thought it was a very popular Ferrari. Anyway I got my hands on the car "ad_ferrari_f430_scuderia" from Assetto Dreams. Wow! So beautiful inside and out. Sound is great. Drive is wonderful. Very grippy. Too grippy? I pull back into the pits to throw on Street Tires and see that I am already on Street Tires. WTF? Come on, man...Can't anyone make a f'ing car that doesn't pull 4 G's? I then put the Semislick tires on just to see what they must be like. I don't think they had as much grip as the Street Tires, for God's sake.

Yes, I can swap tires via CM. I could pop open data.acd and tweak the tyres.ini file, but I shouldn't have to. One of these days I'm going to snap, format my drives so I have no signs of AC Mods anywhere and reinstall AC - only driving Kunos vehicles from that day forward. I'm not even kidding. And these chumps charge money for that car!! LOL

EDIT: Can someone tell me what the default value is in Content Manager for something? In Settings > Content Manager > Integrated > The Setup Market > Cache Data per Setup For: <-- what is the default length of time?

Damn, that St. Luzia is gorgeous. Wow. I've been a bit absent from the AC scene for a few days and look at what I miss. Thanks for sharing, both of you guys. Oh, @rcallsign - do you live in Portugal? You sure seemed to know a lot about that hillclimb to St. Luzia. I enjoyed the narration you provided. 👍
Hi @ALB123. Sorry to reply so late, but I've been out.
I'm Portuguese, but not living in the country, nor did I live in that part of Portugal. I knew a bit about the hillclimb, though the language made it easier to find the info for the video.

I've been downloading recommended tracks by gamermuscle and suggestions here, but just sticking with official Kunos cars for now.
If there was some official list of known great cars I might try a few.

This is truly fantastic work. Also, the story of this being taken from one of those scumbag AC Mod sites charging money for other's work, and being updated for everyone, for free, is heartening. I've had this mod in F1C, rFactor, rF2 and now AC and it is a blast.
 
Anyone tried the Lister Storm GT2 from Assettoland yet? Just curious as to how it compares to the RSS GT1 version.

https://mega.nz/#!8KwSATBQ!D-ZA5Z0HJNN_0NCM4fRma8ORt4MT-N75JacvBhN75a8
Have not tried it and not interested in trying it. On paper, I don't think it would be better than RSS for 3 reasons:
1. Made by Assettogarage
2. For AC version 1.9 and has not been updated since
3. The disclaimer provided by Assettoland: "This mod have a very poor 3D model."
 
Sharing a mod? Host it on GTPlanet Downloads. Free, public hosting for files up to 10GB in size.
