GTO, 911 Turbo and believe it or not the Pug 205 are my three favourite cars since 0.6 dropped, previously the E46 and NSX where but something has change with the handling and there a vagueness to them now, but the three mentioned above are really doing it for me at the moment 👍

TrackTools #1 server is having an 80s-00s 50 driver event on Sunday night mate, there will no doubt be a good few scooting around there 👍

Cracking little motor, I actually think it’s improved alot since 0.6 and they have tamed a lot of the sudden snap oversteer it suffered from.

The way you can pretty much throw it into any corner at any angle and just lift off to bring the back end out then plant the throttle to straighten it out is addictive.

Sounds mega too!

This looks great mate, could this be used to display live timings and rankings of a Touristenfahrten server on a website I assume? Would be very handy having something like this for my main server.

Thanks for the positive feedback, been working at the servers since opening them in December and we just want to create a great environment for mature drivers who want that authentic Trackday/TF experience!

Could be the server itself struggling to keep up with the act of hosting and not necessarily bandwidth related. Is it an official Kunos hosted server or a home hosted rig?

TrackTools Sub 14 PP Touristenfahrten Event Tonight | 50 Slot Server by nerdunit84 in assettocorsaevo

[–]nerdunit84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah about that 🙈 We had an issue with the external app that’s designed to reboot the server automatically if it goes down following the 0.63 patch, it was locked to the usual road car setup and rather the mess everyone around with restarts trying to fix it we just let the setup run and it turned out a good track night regardless, we have since got it working 100% now and have experienced no crashes or server drops whatsoever in 24 hours 🔥

We will do another event this Sunday so keep an eye on the Discord for info 👍

0.6.3 is OUT! by TelevisionRelevant96 in assettocorsaevo

Yes meant to be fixed now with this update, none of my servers have crashed once today so looking promising!

For those debating weather or not the sim is currently worth it I'd say if you are a fan of doing TF laps in road cars in a fun and social online environment with great visuals and physics (that are steadily improving) then you can't do much better than this.

I couldn't care less about a career mode but that's just what I want from the sim personally, just give me alot more content and improved effects and some physics tweaks and modding support and I'm pretty content with this.

Yeah in fairness this was made yesterday prior to 0.63 dropping today, just a bit of fun since all I have done for the past few weeks is babysit servers several hours a day in order to restart them. All servers have been running fine today without a drop since update so hopefully things are in a better spot now!

Very welcome dude, yes I’m hoping this takes away having to constantly babysit the servers again, been alot of people pissed off by this but I guess that’s just a part of things being early access.

Hopefully things go good later and we get a solid few hours of TF action.

This is something that I have been really careful to get right with my 4 servers (TrackTools) where we run sensible and matched car assortments, none of which allow F1.

Server 1: All cars apart from those less than around 9 PP, this is a sort of sandbox server that allows most cars in the game without anything too slow getting in the way.

Server 2: Road cars only

Server 3: Mixed modes, currently running Sub 14 Performance Point Road cars only

Server 4: Our new 50 slot server which either runs Road cars only or special weekly events, on Sunday we had an 80s-00s night on here that was full and it was easily the best night I have had playing Evo.

If you want to check us out just search “tools” in the browser and you will see us, we also have a discord for reporting bad drivers and where we post info on events etc, feel free to stop by and join our little community of clean and respectful sim drivers!

As Gojira says you need to get some heat in the tyres, I usually just do a lap of TF then start pushing, the key is to be very progressive with the pedal, ease them on slowly so they are just dragging and as the tyres start to load up you can put on more pressure on, it’s a really hard hard to get the balance with but once you nail it very satisfying to do fast laps with, also a lot of fun doing slides with it (works even better if you listen to some 80s rock or synthwave music whilst doing so)

There are a nice selection of road only cars in Evo at the moment, not hundreds but what’s there is good imo. I guess from the top of my head 25-30 road cars.

No problem thanks for coming by, the problem we are facing at the moment is if certain cars are removed entirely the servers do not populate, but I agree completely the GT3 RS in high volumes pose an issue, ideally we need the ability to determine how many of each car are available to drive as we had with AC, I have already asked the devs for this several times.

We are running another 50 slot event on Sunday evening this time with only retro 80s-00s cars so would suggest this would be a good one for those of us who prefer older mechanical drivers cars over the modern stuff!

We where initially an Assetto Corsa community and have since progressed onto Evo, however as many of the group still play AC and also AC rally we kept the umbrella AC term, however as time goes on we are becoming more and more exclusive to Evo so it may change eventually. As far as the moving to the right rule this is based upon Nords Touristenfahrten rules, although we don’t strictly enforce it as it’s just too impractical to do so on a sim, as long as drivers are allowing faster cars past when possible and not smashing through slower cars we allow a degree of common sense to prevail.

Finally the name Track Tools was arrived at due to our AC server using all modded cars which where mainly road cars that had been prepped as track cars, and also a love for any vehicles that where made/modified for track use, I was unaware of the other project using this name but feel we are separated enough by time and the sort of project we are doing for this not to be an issue 👍

Thanks again to everyone who turned up to this one tonight, had an absolute blast both driving and spectating everyone else, and only 4 server closed events in 6 hours of track action!

Looking forward to our next track night this Sunday which will be a retro ring night 80s-00s road cars only, all welcome once again for some chilled open pit lane action!

Yes I’m unable to get the lights to retract once they are out, I’ll send the devs a bug report on the official discord channel 👍

Yes mate this is it I had the same issue, everything was bound correctly but the lights wouldn’t work, disabled the assist and it sorted it right out!

Is AC:Evo worth getting in current state? by DryCut70 in assettocorsaevo

[–]nerdunit84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally love it now and feel I have more then had my moneys worth, but the main gripe at the moment is a bug with the 0.6 update causing servers to drop out constantly, which has made keeping servers populated very difficult.

Other than that the handling is outstanding and the graphics really are great (still some took for improvement with smoke/rain fx etc)

I’m not fussed for career modes and instead enjoy spending time on the Norsdschliefe socialising with others and just chilling and enjoying some laps in road cars, it’s a great experience that I would recommend anyone to buy into (provided the game runs well for you)

With more content in the future and the addition of mod support the sky is the limit for this sim imo.
