Assetto Corsa PC Mods General DiscussionPC

[GreenMachine1]

VRC just confirmed they are doing more SuperTouring cars so that's why i said i hope they do some obscure cars like the sentra and chaser

I'm (delusionally) hoping for the Dodge Stratus personally

If you want to make previews of encrypted cars you need to enable "Use CSP for final previews render" inside of Content Manager > Custom showroom. Otherwise it will just generate the oh so dreadful blue crystals.

But i also depends on how deep the encryption goes, Some of IFSO's mods are encrypted down to even textures, Like his Huracan. At the end of the day all of these cars are available to download on the ACMP or AutoMod Workshop discords. So if you really do have an issue with that you can just port it yourselves

I'm 100% aware of the CSP preview rendering option, thanks

Thanks, that was the problem. When I originally downloaded the update, I didn't unpack the folder "AC Files" before installing. This time I opened that up and installed "apps" and "content" and the LED settings are in there now.

I know I've said this in the past but I'm getting increasingly frustrated with this whole sim racing genre. It's just too much info you need to know, computer stuff you need to know, and it's very tedious. It's just so far over my head and I get so angry that I can't figure things out quickly. Plus there's the physical problem it's giving me. I'm 59 now with a bad back. I bought this Fanatec cockpit rig a few months ago and I can't sit in it for more than 20 minutes or so without the right lower quarter of my back feeling like it's on fire. But it was the same before I got it with the portable GT Omega wheel stand and regular racing type office chair I had.

Don't get me wrong, when everything works, it's great. But I seem to have so many problems getting it to that great point. I'm probably only using about 60% or so of Assetto Corsa's capability because I just don't understand how it all works. I haven't updated Pure in a while because I don't remember how I did it the last time and I'm afraid I'll mess it up so bad trying that it will make the game unplayable.

Everyone here has been really helpful when I've asked how to fix my problems. That hasn't been the case other places. Some people have been incredibly rude and nasty when I've asked what I thought was a very simple question. But I suppose that's the way gaming culture is.

I just feel so bad that I keep having to ask over and over again for help. I'm sure the folks at VRC and RSS think, "oh no not another email from him". I desperately need a new home PC to replace my 10 year old one and part of me thinks I should take this one and strip all of the games off of it and just use it for home purposes. But I've also got many issues on that side of it I can't figure out either and need help with.

Yeah I understand, things would be better if Content Manager actually properly installed content with the drag&drop method, but unfortunately that is unreliable.

Now that's a rare breed. I think FRM were the only people to do that ever in any game.

Please can someone remind me where the option for default replay camera is.

thanks

I hope that your sim rig is hot and ready for this christmas

There was a recent (Nov 2024) discussion here, and it seems like ito of settings, that which was, is no longer.
Best solution atm seems to be "hit F3 as soon as the replay loads". 🤷‍♂️

Hi,
3D models are from new cars of Raceroom, isn't it ?

Not singling you out, as you are not the only one who appear to think that CM drag and drop does not work.
Just want to mention that I have used it, many times a week, when not daily, for years, to install tracks and cars, new and update, without having a single issue.
To me, the drag and drop so called issues are just an other urban legend.

Hello !

Thanks for your works, I appreciate it.

Just a thing, on the 2021 version, the delta (time delta) on the first and second sectors of the track is off, the third one is OK.

Cheers.

ACTK did a major update on this car a while ago, adding windshield wipers.

They are not from the same model source though. The IFSO car has entirely different cockpit details, and seems to be ported from a recent Gran Turismo.

the Stratus is a good shout. that's very obscure. (still hoping they do the Accord MK5 to add to the MK6) Another obscure is the Mazda Familia only ever raced in JTCC

Not singling you out, as you are not the only one who appear to think that CM drag and drop does not work.
Just want to mention that I have used it, many times a week, when not daily, for years, to install tracks and cars, new and update, without having a single issue.
To me, the drag and drop so called issues are just an other urban legend.

Its not a legend if you have thousands of customers and thousands of reports of wrong installs.

Its actually not a legend, there are just different factors:

Just try a blank Windows 11 install and all default onboard virus and user protection tools activated. MS Defender, Smart screen and so on. You already got proplems extracting files from a zip file. And i can just tell you, because of my support work for Pure and i also tested it on VMs and it does not extract all files (without any warning).

Also think about the difference if you use Windows as a user or you log in as an admin!

And then you have the factor, where AC is installed. You have a high chance of wrong installs if AC is installed in the standard steam folder (C:\Programs ...).

So the safest method, which works for ALL people is this:

You use a file extractor (WinRAR, 7zip ....) and use its internal extraction method (not drag'n'drop).
You have a 100% chance of a complete file extraction and overwriting of old files if you use the "Extract" button in those apps.

I have years of experience with this problems and in our team we must reduce the support of such nonsense problems.
Also the nature of those problems are changing from time to time. Its always related to the current state of the MS Defender database.

Also CM can't and will not extract all files, because it has a filter in it, and its also using Windows tools to do it. So you can't really trust the installation, because you don't know how broken the Windows copying is.

So if its ok for you, it does not mean it is ok for all other users... Be happy that it works on your side!

Drag & drop thru CM will NOT install everything found on the compressed file. If there is extension file within the compressed file, it will NOT be install...

 

[RMi_wood]

I have never once ever dragged and droped a mod to CM
(Well thats a lie, I tried it once a few years ago and agreed to never try it again)

Also, I do use JSGME for testing large installs, CSP and PURE (which has never failed once).

Yes, Legion made a nice update, but the wipers are white for "now" :-)

 

[chrisracer]

I finally made the jump to CM (I currently have five AC installs, Le Mans, IMSA, 60's, F1 and a test base). Each install has both pure and lighting patches. In the CM I currently am using pure 1.79. Is there a newer one that works? I tried using the 2.5 high res and when I run a race all the cars crash at the start of the race. When I changed back to 1.79 all is well.

I'm literally fighting the same with people using CM to install mods and report issues. Because CM won't put the tyre zip texture in extension/textures/cars

I don't really want to blame CM devs, but the advertising as the way to install everything wasn't the best idea. It should be noted somewhere that if there's an error, always try installing manually.

That feature should have been disabled and manually enabled in settings as we all just ask in the end the end user to install mods manually.

don't know what you mean with Pure 1.79. I guess you mean CSP (custom shaders patch) 1.79.

If you install CSP versions like 0.2.5p1 - a preveiw version (with rain) install it manually like this:
Delete the dwrite.dll in AC root folder.
Open the CSP preview zip file with a file extractor (WinRAR, 7zip ...) and use the EXTRACT button. Select the "dwrite.dll" and the "extension" folder and extract them to your AC root folder (Steam install folder of AC "common\assettocorsa").

If you install a public version, use the CM - settings - about&update page.

If something crashes, reset your CSP settings completelly!!!

Goto /Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg/ rename the "extension" folder to something different.
Restart CM. It will create a new "extension" folder. You can restore it later.
Select Pure as weather style again in CSP weatherFX settings.

They are not from the same model source though. The IFSO car has entirely different cockpit details, and seems to be ported from a recent Gran Turismo.

I'm talking about the 246 GT version of Full Throttle mentioned in his message, not the IFSO version.
