Hey guys,

Usually when i try to make a vid i tend to go for the weakest car but i just found out about Cartuner and that is a game changer for me so far.

Here's a vid fighting the AI for a couple of laps :


The car/track links are in the vid description.

So my point here, considering i based this on the 1962 SCCA championships, is the 356 has been tweaked a lot since its first appearance and was able to finish ahead of much more powerful cars at the time. I randomly started by applying a 12% torque to it, as an hypothetical basis. I have one hotlap at 2.07, but usually run around 2.10 +/- 1sec with this power boost.

For the Porsche AIs, i tweaked it to a 20% torque increase. Not realistic, but now the AI can make a lap in 2.13 secs.

For the MG MGAs AIs, a 20% torque power was applied, so they would run a lap in 2.14-16 as well.

The Corvette C1 has a very different tyre model which makes it pretty unique, and i couldn't really touch it without ****ing up the mod. It stayed like it was, i directly asked Stereo if he was open to tweak it himself.

The Simdream AC Ace, being a simdream mod and completely out of reality, got a 10 % restrictor and 150kgs ballast. Running at 2.10
The Bazza's Cobra 289, 28% ballast and 150 kgs ballast, running at 2.10
The bazza's Corvette 1967 (supposed to replace the 1962 C2 that i couldn't find), 400kgs ballast and 40% restrictor, running at 2.09
the Legion Corvette C2, same treatment, running at 2.09.

Now i got too good at the track for the modifications i made, but i still had the most wonderful race against the AI i ever had : i got divebombed, drifted along cars going the same pace as I, i had to find an opening and even defend my racing lines sometimes.

The idea is probably to boost everyone by another 5/10% and then be able to just lower the AI strenght. That would keep anyone from beating the AI at 100%, finally having decent opponents offline.

By the end of the race (17 laps), my tyres were absolutly cooked and i finished 3rd,barely grabbing the podium in the last lap.

Anyway, i think this is a good way to improve solo racing, rather than adding ballasts and restrictors (which i was doing before). It allows you to balance everyone, and once saved you can just use the same layout for different tracks without thinking about it.

If anyone is interrested i can already share this whole layout, althought you have the data to do it yourself using Cartuner. The good thing is that it doesn't mod the original car : it just adds a new folder with new cars specs.

I'm always interested in offline tips for racing AI please, although I usually give myself 10-20kgs and 10% restrictor just using CM

Well, for the layout i use in the vid, it's basically tweak and try.

using Cartuner available here : https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/assetto-corsa-car-tuner.13946/

You pick a bunch of cars you wanna race against on a specific track. Let's call them A, B, C. Watch your pace, and watch theirs.

You do a lap in 1 minute. That's the pace you're aiming the AI to run at.

AI Car A runs a lap in 1.06 seconds. Open car A in Cartuner. Create a new tune named, ie, "BOP 10", then apply a 10% boost in the "torque" and click apply.

AI Car B runs a lap in 1.03 seconds, same operation, but you want it to actually beat you because IRL it should be 1 or 2 seconds faster than you are. Enter a 7% torque and click apply.

Now when making a quick drive grid, there's now a CAR A and a CAR A BOP 10, a CAR B and a CAR B BOP 7 available. It creates a copycat folder for each of them, so getting rid of the failed ones is easy.

Run the race with your new overpowered AIs, see their pace, adjust the torque depending on their results until they are 1 second faster than you.

Now with Cartuner there's a lot more to play with in the advanced settings, but so far the only thing i dared tweaking were the tyre models. You can, for example, switch a 60s tyre model for a vintage one, getting whole new grip in the process. For AI cars that struggles with drifting, that could fix a lot of issues. To my knowledge so far each time i tried to modify the car files (apart from the tyre model copy/paste from other mods) i ended up with either a struggling AI or a setup glitch. The Torque adjust seems to run fine everytime.

I wouldn't touch the drivetrain nor the engine settings to maintain mods the way their creator intended them. But for AIs? Who cares, you just want to sweat blood overtaking them.

Now as i was testing everything, i aimed for my pace. But now i would go for a 5% faster AI whatever the conditions : You now have the ability to lower the AI opponents strenght directly in the quick drive menu, instead of keeping it at 100% and pray for more than a lap battle. You can also balance some same era cars from different modders that have completely different pace and get something coherent, with a complete 20 cars grid running without gaps.

It's pretty easy, a little boring, but very satisfying. Save the grid preset in CM, and you don't have to think about it for your little championships accross different tracks.

I just tried my settings on Oulton Park 60s with the layout i created for the vid and i can't for the hell of it go past 14th place. It's amazing, i never struggled that hard against the AI...

There was no update to it? Still the same update as of 2023 is it not?
Click to expand...
I have version 1.0 installed, and as far as I know it is the one that was released at Christmas 2023. The new version is 1.1, and the Patreon post has a changelog. There's also a link to a Youtube video of the 1.1 update, the video was published 9 hours ago.

So yes, there is an update.

Quick question

I have a problem starting a race at the Daytona 1970 track, by Rainmaker. When I try to do a full stacked event (against 39 AI cars), all vehicles start from the pits. Why the cars don't start from the normal starting grid positions?

Does anyone have a problem similar to mine?

I'm still looking for a answer to this. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?

Hi !

Is this problem appears with URD "Dallas" skins ?

It could be only a problem with those skins.

Hi guys,

I need your help again with a Porsche 964 Carrera RSR which was raced by Porsche Center HK in the Zhuhai 3H race 1994. Can you identify the logo which I have marked in red?

Photos from the first Zhuhai race in 1994 are not easy to find and I am struggling quite a bit to recreate the livery of that car :-(

Thanx for your help

Yes, a little sloppy, should be updated.
Was not expecting and no one should be expecting to be back compatible forever, but not compatible with 0.2.3 preview 211, is a little more difficult to understand.
There is probably a good reason, would be nice to hear it in details.
I also have to admit, I am not a fan of the so called “extended” physic, so having the choice of “normal” physic would make sense to me.
Not an issue for me at the end of the day, plenty of other Cady available, just too bad for URD as they seem to be sales challenged.
Click to expand...
0.2.3 preview 211 was the version where also LCS started, so they may also change shader settings. But yes, its a long discussion to have like a physics scaler, so user can adapt the strength of the new physics. There are also many people who just want the rain graphics and not the physics. But like i said, its a long discussion and maybe difficult to implement.

I hope we have a longer bugfix session soon and then this recommended state will be updated...

Are you on mescaline with PCP chasers?
By any metric out there, this is a superb car mod. One of the very best available, obviously crafted with buckets of love and care, and an attention to detail that puts most other modders to shame. And it's completely free.
The encryption is immaterial because the car is nigh-on perfect as it is.
We all have the right to our opinions of course, but to call this car 'a joke' reflects badly on you, not the car or the creator.

it's still a mod stolen from another game, not made from scratch, it's still a shame to encrypt it.

the wiper remark was for the BTCC Mondeo i believe not your BMW :cheers:

did you see the question about the headlights on the z3?
Click to expand...
I read it now, I missed it LOL

But I don't quite understand what you mean. When you make the glass black do you see light through? The one on the ground is the result of the script in the ext_config, so the texture alone cannot (in theory) alter its functioning. As for the headlight itself, once you cover it in black you shouldn't be able to see anything. But maybe if you can give me a visual example I can tell you for sure

As are 99% of all car and track mods. I guess you mainly use original Kunos content then?
It's not like this one is behind any form of paywall, or has obvious or game-breaking errors locked behind the encryption. You're lumping it in with all the ripoff plopmods that charge a fortune for terrible quality and lazy halfassery. It really doesn't deserve that sort of blanket prejudice.

Glad you sorted it finally, not sure if you remade it from scratch yourself and discarded mine I sent you on Facebook long ago.

I got it from the gamemodels (fbx) it is from Forza Motorsport, if you are the one that uploaded it on they discord then it is yours

Update 1.1 for this superb mod!
Click to expand...
Thank you for bringing this update to our attention, was a great mod and now an even greater mod.
Driving this car around Bridgehampton this morning, I was thinking, if some one was to ask why AC?
Well among an other thousands of reason, this car combination, unique in the SIM horizon, excels in all area of what makes AC such a great simulator. The driving, the details (track, car interior, animation, etc...) everything is better (or at the very least as good) as any other offering in every aspect.
This morning drive was one of those moment when one ask themselves, why bother with any other title as none brings as much in one package and what can a future title possibly bring that will even match all that we already have in AC?

Rain that works out of the box. And rallying in AC sucks, too.

Also the bit about details : gotta thank the guys that actually had to make it from scratch at Polyphony Digital ! There's a reason why AC modders have been converting their stuff non-stop lately ;)

and you don't want anything to be seen behind? As if it didn't have headlights I mean. If so I can create a selectable cover via ext_config so you won't have any problems
Click to expand...
that's correct, i am looking for black headlight covers basically which will cover the whole headlight black apart from the holes that i cut into it.

i was skinning from this picture trying to replicate the headlights
