Bought this game 3-4 days ago and I am in love with it,
At first I was really disappointed by the lack of content but what is there is amazing. Now I have 45 hours played and I think 40 hours from this is only from Nurburgring tourist with one or two cars. It is so fun to drive here.
I would love to see Le Mans and some prototypes though. It would be amazing.

The Nordschleife in this game is the most brilliant, alive track I've ever experienced in any racing sim ever. The brilliant FFB and suspension design and everything obviously make a big difference too, but it really stands apart even from other tracks and not just because of the layout or because its the Nordschleife. It truly has the best track surface modelling I've ever come across.

Zandvoort! I love that track and spent hours on it with Grand Prix Legends. Can't wait to take the Lotus 49 around for a few laps! This game just keeps getting better and better.

Can anyone recommend some tweaks that might improve the shimmering tree shadows? I especially notice it at the Nurburgring and Monza, where there are a lot of trees casting shadows across the track. Everything else looks really smooth and beautiful, but the tree shadows are really distracting. I've cranked up most settings, but no luck:

16x Anisotropic Filtering
4x AA Samples
Max World detail
Ultra Shadow Resolution

Enabled post process effects
High overall effect quality
HIgh glare quality
Normal depth of field quality
off Motion Blur
checked Crepuscular rays
unchecked heat shimmering effects
checked Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing

Just bought the PX mod from URD and it's as great as the rF2 version.

I agree with Big Takeover in that AC feels a lot like rF2 now - which is a huge compliment.

Does anyone have a useful tutorial on how to create fast_lane.ai files for AV? I've got a few tracks like Bathurst on which I'd like to race the AI, but, well, there is none :)

I enabled the AI editor app, but all I seem to be able to create is pitlane.ai, the recording buttons confuse the heck out of me.

And what is the option to make the AI cars not scramble to the (virtual) line I drove, but stay on their side of the track when the lights go green? I'd really like to play around with this recording app, but I can't really find any info on how to do it right.

Thanks, I have found the thread. The I editor/recorder is kind of incomplete, I recorded a smooth line on Bathurst, avoiding any difficult lines through corners, driving in the center of the track all the time, and when I start a race with AI cars, half of them immediately turn 90 degrees into the pitlane wall and stay stopped there for a while, and the other cars actually manage to drive a good race around the track. I'm wondering if I can record several laps into one file, as to give the AI more data, or if there is some editor where I can kind of visually drag and edit the AI racing line. But also it seems that there are errors the people who build the mod tracks can make that will impede the AI from working properly even if you've recorded a good line. So I'd like to dig deeper into that, and possibly into editing tracks that may have errors, but I'm still looking for resources on that.

I like driving the Audi 90 IMSA GTO in Assetto Corsa, but it comes with a six speed gearbox, and I prefer the five speed box in pCARS. So I whipped together a config for the Assetto Corsa car to give it five gears, with ratios quite similar to those in pCars.

Get it here.

These are the changes I made:

[GEARS]
COUNT=5 ; forward gears number
GEAR_R=-2.867 ; rear gear ratio
; forward gears

ratios. must be equal to number of gears defined on count
GEAR_1=3.152
GEAR_2=2.352
GEAR_3=1.755
GEAR_4=1.354
GEAR_5=0.90
FINAL=3.31 ; final gear ratio

It really breaks my heart that I let this game sit in my Library for so long because of initially finding the UI to be clunky and not knowing how to properly set up my controller to play.

It also hurts to see that this game isn't getting the notoriety it deserves. After sinking in 49 hours into this over the last 2 weeks, I really want to see these guys get more sales to help develop the game further. Hopefully the console release helps give it that boost it deserves.

I think their new UI will definitely help bring in more people on the PC side as well. Hopefully it will become a million seller. The bad thing is that people are going to be comparing aesthetics of the game instead of the actual drive-ability. Hopeuflly consumers are smart enough to understand where this game is supposed to shine.

I feel like if these guys get enough funding, they could probably offer features that exceed what PCARS offers in their game. We'll see.

_____________________________________________________

On another note, has Kunos implemented mods into their car list due to modders making quality products? I hate modding games like this because I don't feel that modders have the resources to create physics based on the actual cars they are designing. Reason why I'm asking is because the Lamborghini Miura was a mod and now it's in the game. I'm guessing maybe they bought the guy's work and implemented their own physics to it.

I'd wager AC is the best selling PC sim of all time. It's been more successful than they'd ever imagine it would be. However, it'll have to drop to 10 bucks before it ever sees anything like a million sold. Console sales are what's really going to boost it's notoriety.

Yeah they've included cars, and even a track that were developed by modders.

First party stuff is almost always the best for the reason you mention, but at the end of the day it's still a game, and games are about fun. There are some great modded cars out there that are a ton of fun to drive, and whatever inaccuracies they may have, you'll likely quickly dismiss as irrelevant. First party teams swing and miss all the time. It's not like their data makes them infallible.

There are also truck loads of crappy mods too in various states of development, and I personally don't bother with those. I stick to the finished, or at least very mature stuff.

When I say million seller I was taking into consideration the console release as well. I think the update with the better UI will help garner sales on the PC side of things as well. Maybe it can stay ahead of PCARS in sales.

As for the mods... I'm looking into what I can add to the game. I'm trying to research things, but everything I look at seems to be in beta or not finalized and I really don't want to have to deal with staying up to date on what mods I need to update throughout the life time of the game. Also, mods seem to become broken when a game updates and seeing as how Assetto Corsa is revamping everything for the console release, there's a pretty good chance that anything you added to the game will not function well or at all. Just seems like a hassle.

As BT mentions, it's probably the best selling PC sim racer of all time. A survey from last year showed something like 95% ownership amongst the sim community, with second place being around 60%, but I forget which title. Kunos are certainly not lacking in cash. In fact, I'd wager the market saturation with AC is why it's not being developed as speedily as we'd all hope. They've made their sales already and don't need to win anybody over... Which is probably why they're now focusing on consoles, as it's the easiest way for them to achieve growth.

Some mods are way better than others that's for certain. The devs can choose to create a car that others use as a template - of note is URD did the Corvette model for Kunos and use the physics Kunos supplied as the basis for their EGT mod.

I don't doubt many of the f1 mods are based on the Lotus F1 cars...might be slightly more difficult to use the Ferrari cars if they are incripted.

FWIW, ISI release cars for others to base their mods off too.

Well Natsuki is working on the Honda HSV-010 and I need that car in my life. I bought GRID Autosport last night just because I found out that car was in the game... Man I disappointed myself thoroughly. What the hell was I thinking. The damn thing just has a generic race car sound to it.

Well here's the Natsuki version for Assetto Corsa

Yeah, it's the unfortunate side of mods, but the upside is free cars that are sometimes indistinguishable from first party. Stuff that Kunos may, or may not be able to even get the license for. Get an account at Race Department which will give updates on when cars and tracks change, and stick to the cream of the crop.

The scatch built Donington is a work of art so I hope you can get it to work.

The URD paid for mods are also very good and we'll worth the money or wait until they go on sale.

URD mods look fantastic. Almost bought their pack with I saw the Viper. But it's the GTS-R and not the GT3-R... So my wallet is safe.

Edit: Wallet wasn't safe.

Try double checking your resolution setting just in case. Been having some weird issues where it reverts to a non native res and fails to load. Has to do with nvidia DSR factors I believe.

Holy shit at the rabbit hole I just went down from that YouTube/facebook page lol. I'll definitely check out the Integra and any others if I hear good impressions -but wow I had no idea there were so many mods floating around like that. There are like 20 cars posted in the last month. Looks like quantity over quality though - I don't think many of them are "legit".

Most cars work quite nicely, an annoyance some cars have that irks me but isn't really important is that the cockpit and/or exterior lights don't work - purely cosmetical because there are no night races, but still it's something I care about. Check the cars on this site, they are lovely. Especially the Lancias and the De Tomaso Pantera.

P.S. I don't ask if the cars are legit, just if they are fun :p

Is IER another super good modding group? Seems like their mods are taking forever to get released. They've got a Viper GT3-R in the oven and I want to get my mitts on that. They look like they are going to put out a package like URD and it's looking great!

Another mod that is looking fantastic is Natsuki's HSV 010. He's even got the displays in the car working
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPIriDcoRmw

Something that URD doesn't do.

I kinda of hope he charges for the Mod. He looks like he needs help updating to a stronger rig. I'd throw a few bucks his way since he's a one man team it seems. Plus, this car is like my dream race car. Wish I knew how to get my hands on one in real life.

One can follow the IER here: https://www.facebook.com/IERModGroup and here: http://acusccmod.weebly.com/the-cars.html

The problem with all mods are the accuracy of the physics and the vehicle models. One aspect I liked about the URD is they have made car models for a variety of companies, including Kunos. I like to think with URD's connections to professional development teams, any areas they aren't sure about with regards to physics they can seek help with.

I'm guessing modding teams reference other sims or mods, technical specs, real world lap times and YouTube to get their own stuff to work as closely to reality as possible.

Edit: this is a mod we all need:
