If someone thinks its good idea to race unstoppable race car with plane engine. Here it is.
Ai still cant race it at high speed tracks like monza.

right, V6 busso was too much expansive!😂
however 2.0TS is always a good engine... with 2 cylinders less!😆

I've done some digging into AssettoCorsaMods.net and I've found some early documentation:
Timing:
These objects don't need the axis orientation like the spawn objects
AC_TIME_0_L
This must be placed on the LEFT side of the start/finish
AC_TIME_0_R
This must be placed on the RIGHT side of the start/finish
AC_TIME_1_L
AC_TIME_1_R
Same rule about left and right but it will became the first intermediate.
AC_TIME_2_L
AC_TIME_2_R
The second intermediate.
You can place only 2 intermediates.
The trigger will be a line drawn from the center of the object to the other side (not visible obviously)
So there are "gates" that are labeled in the .kn5 editor called AC_TIME that are incorrectly placed. These indicates sectors on a track marked as "circuit" in tags and goes from start to finish in the same place (another reminder to please add the "circuit" tag to your tracks in future updates, it is important).
I'm going to try and open it myself and see if I can find the problem, although I have no further reference and haven't opened a track in kseditor before. I'll let you know if I find the issue.
EDIT: I've found the AC_TIME variable, it's in the "grid.kn5", which needs to be unpacked after the "yas_marina.kn5" model and then opened as an FBX file in KSEditor. In here, all the timing and positioning data for the track is stored. I assume that AC_TIME 2/3/ etc. here is misplaced.
I am trying to figure out how to move these "AC_TIME" blocks in grid.kn5 (or any blocks for that matter, so pit slots, grid slots, etc.), but I can't figure it out at the moment. Any help from those in the know will be appreciated. I think it's safe to assume these elements are not created in Blender itself but in the KSEditor, I just can't figure out how to control them.
EDIT2: The sector "blocks" in the KSEditor view of grid.kn5 are definitely placed incorrectly. They're out of order (AC_TIME 2 is where AC_TIME 1 should be, hence the timing breaking) and they're not in the right place on the actual track itself. See this map for where the actual sectors should be:

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, pals, but I can't seem to fix the AI drivers' erratic gearshifts until the engine fails seconds after leaving the pit...
One question, is the AI working well for the three of you?

I live with stuttering all the time, I tried everything to get a smooth game but I still haven't succeeded, and by smooth I mean that 120hz image that seems real, I wish those damned orange and blue bars in render stats would become flat, instead...
Two tips if they can help, the first, I noticed that playing in 2K resolution at 120hz, if I block Riva Tuner at 119hz I have less stuttering than if I block it at 120hz.
Second, always in Riva tuner, once I found the right Frame Rate Limit, I started from 1 and went up in the Scanline Sync item, now I have the right compromise between graphics and performance and the stuttering is always there every now and then but not so annoying.

I used to do the same thing as you almost every day, thank you so much for sharing, it seems like a silly thing but it saves a lot of time!

Yep, they're all terrible... But until someone takes pity and releases a decent version, the least bad ones (or at least, those are the ones I have in my collection) would be two: first, the aforementioned Rainmaker version, a short layout in which you'll find numerous blonde chicks, pot-bellied guys, and all sorts of objects, all cut out of cardboard.
And second, Frank1463's version, updated by ImWilde, with hideous 3D trees and their bouncing behavior and ghostly glow (how I hate 3D trees), although surprisingly, they don't affect performance as much as in other mods...
That said, none of the versions come close to current quality standards, but to get rid of the urge to race between (and sometimes, through) narrow walls and trees at breakneck speed, they fulfill their purpose. You can find the links on the Never-Enough-Praised Breathe's List.

That's like asking which dog turd tastes the sweetest. They are all equally disgusting.
A bunch of us were working hard last year trying to get the 'best of the worst' up to snuff but it was absolute torture and the project stalled.
Ideally somebody would port a more modern version from one of the Moto GP (or other bike sim) games, eg:

beware! the XnConvert program does not always do a good job of resizing it seems ...
I resized this DDS of a steering wheel (see attached rar file, remove .txt) ,
did a resize of 50% with XnConvert ( w Lanczos2 algorythm )
and ended up with the wheel looking like this:
still trying to find out why it didn't work well...

At the moment I am working on skinning some australian Carrera Cup 992 cars. I am using the Guerilla mod, but I also have the URD one. What do you guys think is the better or more widely used of the two mods? I can't decide, like em both, but they both have their mapping problems. As I am only starting the skins, now might be the best time to decide. Any input appreciated.

Hello,
I've been messing around with an issue I've had in-game for a few months now, but unfortunately have not been able to fix or even fully understand.
It is regarding the way road surfaces are rendered and reflected onto cars. Here are a few issues I have encountered, I hope that these can be fixed and I am just running a wrong setting.
-Road surface below the car being reflected inside the cockpit, coloured kerbs are reflected onto the car's glas/carbon or metal materials inside the interiour of the car.
-Road surface is reflected onto the car's body but is a little too reflective/noticeable. Again this is very noticeable with kerbs, sometimes being reflected like a mirror onto the car's carbon parts.
What frustrates me the most is that the issue will be more noticeable on some cars than others, the reflective values of the car's materials could be an explanation. The issue is however as far as I know, is present on every car but exactly how present it is varies a lot, it could just be slightly noticeable on the windshield wiper, or very noticeable on the car's carbon dashboard, or the entire carbon diffuser.
Below are some videos to illustrate the issue with reflections as best as I can.
Cheers and thanks for the help ^^

You're not the only one, bro... That problem also drives me crazy, since depending on the intensity of the reflections, they can be very annoying when the reflective areas are within the sight area.
As far as I know, the source of the problem is what you point out: the parameters the modder uses for certain textures aren't adequate, rather than a problem with the game's settings... There are a couple of simple tricks that sometimes work, adding some code to the ext_config.ini, but lately, most of the time they have no effect (or I'm not able to make them work), or spoil something else...
To remove road reflection from internal glass...
To remove from other cockpit parts...
And to remove from windshield banner...
Unfortunately, I insist, these Jedi tricks (provided by several charitable forum members, thanks) don't always work and I suppose that definitively solve the rebel cases requires knowledge that I don't have...
Good luck!

another wall texture should be possible. Will have a look tonight.
for me it would be the URD one

yes that is a major pain , esp in VR it can be quite immersion breaking.
You can alter the reflective properties of any material, with extension code , play around with it :
[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...] ;improve carbon
ACTIVE = 1
MATERIALS = name_of_material_here
PROP_... = ksAmbient, 0.13
PROP_... = ksDiffuse, 0.08
PROP_... = ksSpecular, 0.5
PROP_... = ksSpecularEXP, 180
PROP_... = fresnelMaxLevel, 0.05 ;esp this one , lower is less reflection
PROP_... = fresnelEXP, 40
PROP_... = fresnelC, 0.01 ;esp this one , lower is less reflection
PROP_... = useDetail, 100
PROP_... = detailUVMultiplier, 14
PROP_... = detailNormalBlend, 1
DOUBLE_FACE_SHADOW_BIASED = 1
BUT if the material is chrome , it SHOULD reflect... but it should be made impossible to see the curb reflection from inside the car as it should be consealed by the car chassis and doorpanels ...
So anyone has a neat trick to force that via extension? (I guess that is a fault of the creator , and needs to be dealt w in 3D program, and can't be fixed w simple extension code?)
no , when I resized it w Gimp it was all good ...
the resulting dds looked very weird after having it being converted by XnConvert ...
also attached the resulting DDS (remove .txt) , maybe someone can figure out what happened?
The original dds looked like :
It would be good to know the case in which NOT to rely on XnConvert (esp when doing batch resizing , it could be dangerous to loose stuff - if you don't backup first that is)
settings used :

URD one would be the best one
