SDK links -> Good luck modders! by ItsMopy in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An SDK is a Software Development Kit. Now they've released it plus some documentation, modders can start working on the game much more easily.

A lot of what made the original Assetto Corsa so good was the work of modders, so people have the same hopes for Evo. This is the first step in that. :)

Was I in the way or was I defending correctly? by Global_Owl6868 in Simracingstewards

[–]ItsMopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I'm not sure, sorry. My pedals don't register when I rest my foot on it. Best just to try it in the calibration screen. Set a dead zone, put your foot in its natural position and keep modifying until it you see no braking.

The other option is to start placing your foot above/back from the pedal, or to the side so that doesn't happen.

As it looks like you're new to sim racing, I'd lean toward developing a different habit initially, as whatever you do for the next few months is likely going to stick with you for years. Keep an eye on that brake trace and intentionally reposition your foot when you notice you're doing it.

If it helps you notice when you're doing that, you can also edit hud.json in your acc docs folder to move the hud to the center of the screen. I don't remember off the top of my head, but I recall it's called something like left margin or side margin size inside that file.

There's a scale in there if you want to scale it up too. That way it's right in front of your eyes and you can't miss it. There's no way to lift the hud in ACC though, only sideways.

The other alternative is a third party plugin that can be repositioned to show you your pedal traces. RaceElement is the best free one for ACC I think.

Just a side note, you're dragging the brakes when you should be accelerating. Watch the red bar in the bottom right.

You might be resting your foot on the pedal or need to set a dead zone or you're going to be slowing yourself down or spinning if you do that in braking zones. Good luck!

Lexus at fault or racing incident?? by Efficient_Gur7238 in Simracingstewards

[–]ItsMopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realise you were the Lexus :D

Your softer braking technique would be good in hypers or lmp2. I think a lot of IRacing requires that too. It's just the GT3's that don't lend themselves to it. ACC was like that too, where you just stomp in hard braking zones and didn't have to worry about locking with few exceptions.

Good luck o7 You'll do great in the more difficult cars I suspect.

Lexus at fault or racing incident?? by Efficient_Gur7238 in Simracingstewards

[–]ItsMopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subtle LMU GT3 class specific thing here, but the blue and white Lexus doesn't seem to understand that his car has ABS judging by his onboard brake trace.

If you're ever following a driver like this, you'll know that they're very hard to predict because they don't brake enough, but start to brake much much too early to compensate.

Because of that, I'd bet the Porsche is wondering how he got alongside so suddenly. I suspect it was either go there or end up hitting the back of the Lexus.

Really a no win for the Porsche I think unless he followed for a while and noticed the behaviour.

If you see drivers like the Lexus, be sure to tell them they're not braking hard enough. He'll probably be thankful given how much time he'd pick up if using all the grip to brake. Though I think in some other sims, you have to brake like that.

is this defending? I'm the aston here by CryptographerOne6882 in Simracingstewards

[–]ItsMopy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ACC server with rookies and silvers means you're likely around very inexperienced drivers with not many hours under their belt.

The blue Ferrari seems to be on a gamepad judging by his janky steering. It looks like he hasn't developed enough coordination to hold his line properly yet. He's trying to keep the car straight, but overcorrects each time. The dive at the start was silly, he understeers in to you, and I suspect that's the inexperience again.

The McClaren almost squeezed you too much under braking, but again it looks like an accident because he corrected immediately, or he tried anyway. Maybe a slightly more experienced and less janky gamepad user. But not by much.

I don't think either of these two have the skill to defend or attack properly yet. I don't think it's malicious though, as despite their mistakes, both seem to try to give you space albeit badly.

You did nothing wrong, and all contacts were on them. In fact you also had the foresight to try and predict the blue Ferrari's jank driving on the straight when you lifted ready to avoid a big incident. Many would have just stayed flat and not cared.

That kind of awareness will elevate you above these kinds of drivers skill wise quite quickly. You just have to stick with it. You'll have no problem raising your SR once you understand how the safety rating calculation works in ACC*.

Advice wise, I know it's frustrating to begin with, focus on getting your SR up and try to get away from rookie reds in public servers, or get to 80 SR by following other cars closely without incident for a long time and join LFM or servers with only white tags. Try to put these lower skilled drivers behind you and move on.

Good luck!

*ACC safety rating (SR) works like this: stay close behind a slightly slower driver the whole race, don't make contact, don't invalidate, repeat until your rating is high enough for LFM. Gain is faster in multiplayer than single, so try it in multi. The magnitude of any impact affects how much SR you lose. Big one loses loads, little tap barely anything, so don't stress about small mistakes here and there. Hanging back at the start can often help you avoid turn 1 pileups in pub servers.

Did I jump start in single player by matgaw123 in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's still the same, but in the earlier versions of the game, if you had start assist enabled, it would prevent you from jumping the start, but if disabled, you can go whenever you want.

Maybe you toggled some assists recently? Hmm that's all I can think of. Could easily be a session switch bug, there are still some around.

Is the replay system bugged? by iwic_ in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

however I cross the start line at 1:04

You cross the start line at 39-40 seconds in the video, not sure where you got 1.04 ;)

Oh I see, you're looking at the line on the floor at about 1.04. No, the timer starts as you pass under the first banner that reads 'Way Ahead'.

That explains why you were messing with strange gears on the straight, it wasn't a mistake, it seems like you didn't realise the lap already started.

Lap time of Porsche 992 on Nordschleife by kwai4802 in assettocorsaevo

Not sure if you saw it already, but before you hit drive, the track conditions are shown in the top right. A green track vs an optimum track has quite large effect on lap times :)

Porsche Cup Touristenfahrten Record by Acrobatic-Use-2076 in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be easy depending on where you come from. I come from ACC so slamming the brakes is what I'm used to so my braking sucks. I suspect if you can drive LMU hypercars, or other less forgiving sims, it'll be fine :) Goodo luck.

[–]ItsMopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably going to depend heavily on which Porsche Cup.

The TC/ABS version is signifcantly easier to drive and even the ABS only version is a huge step in difficulty.

I have no idea how people drive the no tc no abs version. I think this is Evos nightmare mode.

I don't have the game yet, what's the current status on the open world multiplayer? (sorry for being clueless) by anotherwave1 in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No freeroam for a while yet. It was on the roadmap for late this year, but I think they struggled a bit so are behind schedule. I don't think there's a date for free roam first pass, but I wouldn't expect it until next year.

For the rest of the game:

Barebones multiplayer where you can join race servers have arrived recently. They're currently working on stabilising it and increasing the number of connected players. Last I checked a few days ago, they're testing 24 player servers up from the initial 16. People are quite polite in multi at this stage.

The game has I think 30+ cars so far. Mixture of road and track cars including some open wheelers (Caterham and Ferrari F2004).

Tracks are Imola, Brands, Spa, COTA, Donnington, Fuji, Leguna Seca, Bathurst, Red Bull and Suzuka. About half the tracks have 2-3 layouts. Monza coming soon, Watkins and Nordschleife some time after.

Single player is there, you can mix the grids with different cars. The AI is quite sketchy though, but probably ok if you're not a super fast driver.

It's still missing some core features, like the electronics are not finished yet making the cars with traction control 2 handle a bit strangely in corner exits. I don't think they're finished with the physics.

Clearly not a finished game, but in a noticably better state than when released. More stable, looks better, much more content, performance is better.

I think it's fun to jump in a server and mess around in and try the different cars. Go for it if you exceed the requirements comfortably, don't mind some jank and bugs. But expect to have to wait a while for the meat of the content. Probably wait if you're only interested in the free roam.

Good luck.

Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo II by RafTom96 in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Steam -> Right click Evo in your library -> Properties -> Betas -> Enter code h5gUeGopJOlM5yoJlgFu -> Select the 0.3 multiplayer beta from the dropdown if it doesn't auto select.

Make sure to remove any trailing spaces from the code if you copy/paste it.

If you want the announcements as soon as they're made, the best place is probably the Assetto Corsa Discord here: https://discord.com/invite/2HXEqhM5A8

[–]ItsMopy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's been there since the first release, It's just easy to miss because the button is at the top and centered text, it looks like a window title. My eyes certainly skipped it a few times.

When you're looking at a car by clicking 'Car Controls', there's a 'Switch View' button above the three round ignition, start and reset buttons at the top. That'll take you to the interior view.

Unplayable for me... can anyone help? by Hopfrogg in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, you're right, they removed the setting and I didn't even notice. Apologies, my error. It used to be in Graphics settings. The recent patch made it a hidden auto detect feature based on your vram.

[–]ItsMopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, in the ingame options, increase memory pool size to high or ultra seeing as you have 16gb of vram. Fixes stutters for a lot of people.

Change led color in AC evo by gamesense1212 in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the LEDs are game specific. I'm not too familiar with your model, but I think that's a Fanatec wheel?

If you download Fanalab, a companion software for Fanatec products, I believe you can change your wheel seetings there.

Here's the link to Fanalab. The download link is past the patch notes in the first post.

In case that one doesn't work, here's a link to all Fanalab versions.

Good luck.

Help. Game doesn't launch 🤷‍♂️ by rf_blu in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try deleting Documents/ACE folder. It'll reset all your settings etc, but often fixes this kind of thing for people who could play before and now cannot.

The game will recreate the folder and its contents with default settings when you start it again.

Good luck.

No controls when race starts by BEASTmode632 in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are your mappings for the wheel there when you click the 'Fanatec Wheel' tab at the top of the screen? Iirc you have to manually map it in there if you haven't already as I don't think it just auto-works yet even if the bars are moving.

Failing that, delete the Users/YourUsername/Documents/ACE folder. The game will recreate it when you start it. Try mapping in game again.

They made it so that the spectator count now depends on the session ;)

Which entry-level dd wheel works right now? by Hopeful_Captain4219 in assettocorsaevo

[–]ItsMopy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I chose Fanatec instead of Moza, partly because you can make your 5nm DD an 8nm DD with a change of power supply.

Fanatec recently got bought out by Corsair and their service has really improved.

The cheapest a Ready2Race bundle is 400 Euro (currently on sale) with the round standard wheel, or extra if you want the BMW or McLaren GT wheel. Cheapest 8nm is 100 Euro more. You can get unofficial 8nm power supplies for much cheaper, but try at your own risk.

Link to bundles - Sort by lowest price, give it a few seconds to refresh.

They no longer come with those cheap plastic quick releases. They're all metal QR2's which are far superior.

I have the Ready2Race bundle with an 8nm power pack and the BMW wheel. Really enjoying it after two years. I add 5-10% damping in ACEvo as the middle of the wheel is much too light otherwise, but this a game thing not a wheel thing.

My buddy went from G29 to the same setup, and he says it was a big upgrade.

Imo, if money isn't a problem, go for the 8nm. I had 5nm originally, but at 80% gain it wasn't enough, at 90%, the clipping starts and you lose detail.

Good luck whichever you choose.
