A decent helmet at last. (no jokes please, yes i said 'helmet')

 

[racinjoe013]

Anyone know if you can alter headlight colors through a car's ext_config file or do I need to crack open the data file and edit the lights.ini file? Some of the AC Legends cars have really colorful headlight colors and I can't stand them. I'm not a fan of blue headlights. I much prefer a simple whiteish\yellowish looking light. Just want to know which is the best method to use.

Yep motorbike one, you see a lot of motorbike helmets at car track days in the UK and Arai's are such a great looking timeless helmet.
Big Schwantz fan here too.

About helmets, I still a fan of this particular one, early 80’s (the brand is Simpson).
I dislike the stig one even if it is an inspiration of those.

Brainerd International Raceway (with historic layout)​

Brainerd International Raceway

Welcome to Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, Minnesota, USA. This track features 3 layouts, the Donnybrooke road course, the Competition road course, and the historic Donnybrooke road course from the year it opened, 1968. The historic...

Brilliant. Thank you.

 

[Alguecool]

Great track but poorly optimized.
Just for comparison:

Good thing it's not a racing circuit, same thing with 30 cars racing each others and you can cook a steak on your cpu

(still had a blast playing solo, tho)

 

[Fall Guy]

I would bring that up with them on their page.
Here are the newly updated Next-Gen cars that are designed for Oval Racing that are waiting to be put up on the page.



These cars have been updated to run smoothly on oval tracks. Tires, Setup, AI, etc have been adjusted to give a better experience in turning left at high speeds. Here's a share before they get it up officially on their page.
Setup is neutral so that it makes it easier for asymmetrical setups. AI on 100% is very competitive and have been tested with very little crashing (which is a known problem with AC's AI on oval racing).
Please Delete older versions due to some file changes such as duplicate skins.

Great cars! May I ask where the origin is from? And will you post updates here as well, since no facebook access?

Thank you!

Been searching, trust me. Awesome helmet.

Anyone playing AC on an external HD ? How do you make it work ? Have way too many files on my computer and an empty , working HD laying around lol.

depends on what version of windows you are on. but get familiar with symlinks/junctions.

in my case ac main installation is in c:\program files, additional tracks and cars on the other drive (folders also named \cars and \tracks) are in junction with folders in the ac main installation. i prefer "link shell extension" (https://www.heise.de/download/product/link-shell-extension-39057).

i hope you external drive is no turtle (and needs a assigned/fixed drive letter)!

Was thinking about installing the game on another drive as I'll be starting on a new machine anyway (laptop, I'm always on the move so....).

I am. I posted about it here:

Hey you guys, My AC install went blooey and I've spent the last 48 hours frantically trying to revive it. Uninstall/reinstall. CHKDSK. Move install to D: Integrity check. Everything. Nothing. I give up. What with hundreds of mods, Content Manager, Custom Shader Patch and all the rest...

[VetteZR1]

Moved to a new computer and my Content Manager won't recognize the specific date setting and give me fall color like before, any ideas? P.S. Where is the Content Manager folder located?

 

[multilaf]

Disable "use extended physics". Should work.

Thanks it works now indeed.

Simspon Bandit, i love it!

 

[Nuck Chorris]

That's why i ALWAYS put in my config

[BASIC]
IGNORE_OTHER_CONFIGS = 1

Never understood the way to create a config outside the track folder. If you delete the track, and not the config, you will always have a lot of crap in the extension folder. Since 2014 i had in my HDD over 1gb of VAO and config which were useless until i removed everything.

Where you write this?

 

[CrisT86]

Where you write this?

inside the ext_config.ini of the track (or car) like you see

[BASIC]
IGNORE_OTHER_CONFIGS = 1

These are a collaboration between Christopher Dwyer and Darren Schier from Assetto Corsa Nascar Mod group. They do a lot of their own modelling. The source cars may have come from somewhere to begin with, I'm not really sure. Chris has since passed away during this and the car was left a tad on the unfinished side mainly regarding physics. And as we know, AC really doesn't do Ovals very well. That's where I worked to fix that. I figured it would be nice after his passing to try and get the group a good working oval car that tried to fix some of the issues. The tires need to work within certain parameters or they just burn up. Using original tires, the front rights turn lava red. Aero and engine including gear ratios allow for the car to reach real life speeds on tracks like Daytona, Texas, Michigan and so on. AI worked to not crash al the time.
I don't do moddeling, I'm a physics guy so if there are issues outside of the data folder, I have to pass them on to people who are more proficient in that area. If we need to fix anything, I can post updates here. While maybe every single detail hasn't been accounted for, (like the in car display), we have a fairly good representation of the Next Gen Nascar cars that people can have fun with.

Try something like this

NAME= meshname
COLOR = xx, xx, xx 'Values you want
OFF_COLOR = 0, 0, 0

Something like Kamen Rider, tokusatsu or kinda.

@Mike08

I've just downloaded and installed your Ibarra update from your Patreon page, and it looks nothing like your images. It still looks like the original old mod, and there's no grassfx. I've double-checked the installation, and even downloaded the last version (from Breathe's list) and reinstalled it, then installed your updates, and it didn't make any difference. I've also checked to make sure there isn't an ext_config in the main extension folder in the AC directory, I'm using CSP 0.1.79, ID 2144.

UPDATE! -- @Mike08 replied to me on Patreon. You must download and install the track mod for which he provides a link on his post. Then install his updates. Do not use any of the other versions that are available for Ibarra. It now looks wonderful, like the image.

Friends, can someone send me a good power.lut for F1 1995 and F1 1996?

I don't know how to edit the power.lut.
F1 1995 hits 301km/h and F1 1996 reaches the 346km/h
Something is very wrong, 'cause the top speed of both it's like 315km/h

Still not that much like the original bandits, but still pretty cool.

 

[Perico Lospa]

... you can cook a steak on your cpu...

Yummm... or a ratatouille, or a quiche lorraine... French cuisine is appreciated all around the world! 🤤

... we have a fairly good representation of the Next Gen Nascar cars that people can have fun with.

As they are now, they are very interesting cars; good sound, good handling... The only "important" thing really missing are the rear view mirrors on the Camry and Mustang. With that and a few other cosmetic fixes, they would be five star mods.

Thanks for share!

 

[MerijnvdR]

Is there an easy way to convert ACC skins to AC? That is of course for the ACC converted cars in AC

 

[Camill08]

Is it possible to create a direct app or plug-in to add to the Content Manager to select the suit, gloves and helmet (both leather and helmet design) before going to the track? Because I've seen so many glove packs and it's really a shame to have to select them for each skin😩.

Sure, it would be nicer if you could also create your own design (like in Gran Turismo or ACC), but due to some limitations in AC's code and software maybe not possible.

However, with the announcement of the new Assetto Corsa chapter coming in 2024, maybe the driver editor will be directly included...

These are wonderful cars and allow me to drive some great mod tracks I haven't been able to race much because there were no cars that worked\fit the track. Tracks like @RMi_wood Charlotte oval layout for example. Curious though, are there road versions of these three cars available as well. Would love to whip these around Watkins Glen or Road America.

On another note, I hope i'm not stepping on any toes, but I redid the Ford and Toyota data file to fix the broken mirrors. It was nothing more than incorrect mesh names in the mirrors.ini file. You can use the mirror configurator app to set the display style for the mirrors the way you want them. The original data files are included in case I screwed something up.

And if anyone is interested, I also fixed the rear display cam on the Guerilla Mods McLaren GT4. Since that one is encrypted, I can't repack the data file, but if you want the data folder with the fixed mirror.ini file, just let me know. I'll post it.

EDIT: What's the point in waiting for someone to ask. I also attached the GUE McLaren GT4 data folder with the fixed rear view dash cam. I think you need to rename the data.acd file to some other name in order for the game to read the data folder. Someone can correct me if i'm wrong about that. You'll probably need to use the mirrors configurator app to set the display style.

You can use a "driverskin.ini" in the folder "your name/documents/assetto corsa/cfg", to define the suit, gloves and helmet for each driver model. This then will ALWAYS be used ingame for you as player.

For example: "driverskin.ini"

[driver]
SUIT=\sparco\black
GLOVES=\sparco_racecars_tide_rg9\red
HELMET=\helmet_base_red\2

[driver_no_HANS]
SUIT=\sparco\black
GLOVES=\sparco_racecars_tide_rg9\red
HELMET=\helmet_base_red\2

[driver_60]
SUIT=\plain\red
GLOVES=\classicpastel\black
HELMET=\helmet_1969\dark

[driver_70]
SUIT=\plain\red
GLOVES=\classicpastel\black
HELMET=\helmet_1975_black\checkered

[driver_80]
SUIT=\sparco\black
GLOVES=\sparco_racecars_tide_rg9\red
HELMET=\helmet_1985\red
