Latest DLC...


Red

I bought the first AC and I honestly tried every effort to like it but I found the game to be overall "stale". There was simply no immersion at all. I put about 30 hours into it before I uninstalled. Does Competizione add any kind of driver career/season mode?

I need a career mode as well, to hold my interest.

Same here. I think AC is a good sim, but I also never put much time in to it. My son and I turned a lot of laps around Monza and a few others, but it never quite grabbed me.

And I now resent it, because there's an ungodly number of achievements in AC. What is it, 500? I have like two, which tanks my completion percentage

Don´t forget there´s mods for most of these sims. Here´s one of the best places to get Into mods, among other Info...

RaceDepartment: (free subscription at the bottom of the page, or sub monthly)
RaceDepartment Home site

Mods are nice and all but it would be a nice time-saver for me for developers to actually include some features which I consider to be "basic" in their games on release or at least with subsequent official patches.

All the mentioned sims here on this forum have some sort of career mode, along with championships, custom races, events, challenges, online events/races etc. What most don´t have are driving schools or team management. So I don´t quite understand what you mean by "basic"?

The first Assetto Corsa did not have a driver career mode. At least not when I was playing it. Was it added later?

Yes correct, both of them...

Thanks for that info. It may be worth getting AC Competizione then. I may do just that after I'm done with F1 2021.

Basically single class, cup, and multiclass. I haven´t tried all of them out, just the Ferrari and It´s very smooth and fast. These are new car and BoP builds. Everything Is great on my higher end PC, ACC runs and looks awesome on It.

Just an FYI, Assetto Corsa Ultimate Edition is on sale on Steam for like $8. I just got it, and plan on installing the GPL 1967 mod today.

That's a great deal Argon. I just had a look and Steam shows it as 50% off, or US$39.88. How'd you get it all for $8? I have the base game plus a Dream pack or two. None of the Porsche packs. Eight dollars for all of that is a sweet deal.

It's hard to describe the anticipation I am feeling at the mo. I've talked about my sim racing history here before, racing GPL in leagues among others. the dedication to improving, learning cars, tracks, chassis setup. Like a devotion really. Obsession maybe. Turning a roll bar one notch, or opening the coast side differential just a touch before returning to the track to test it. Tiny changes, small gains or perhaps not. Serious effort to shave another tenth. I've been away from this for a long time. I've been racing F1 2021, but you'd have to say it's 'simcade' in some ways. I love it, but it's not quite on the same level of simulation like Assetto Corsa Competizione (among others).

When we were talking about the various sim choices here a few days ago, someone commented that one of the knocks on ACC is that it is limited to a single class. I completely understand how that can be seen as a negative, especially compared to others titles which have a much more diverse line up. But I see it as a strength, a 'study sim' in the same sense as Grand Prix Legends or Falcon 4. Not a sim where you probably swap to a different car each time out, but where you choose one and master it.

I bought and installed ACC last night, including all the DLC. This set me back $107. Not cheap, we're talking Combat Mission money here, but I think it will be a bargain for what I get out of it. I want that feeling again of tackling a demanding task and coming good. A challenge to put my skills to the test, both in driving terms and in hopefully mastering the other bits --chassis setup, tyre management, race management, learning all of the car's systems and using them to best advantage.

So yeah, I'm excited. Everything is in place, just waiting for the racing seat which is scheduled to arrive today. Once I've got that squared away and everything working, I'll dive right in and see where I stand. There will be a lengthy acclimation period as I adjust to this, but I'm eager to get started!

See you on the track

True dat! Long time since I played AC, but I reinstalled it yesterday and now the opening screen has four choices, one being career mode!

I really lucked out - it was a weekend-only deal, and I just so happened to be looking at the GPL 67 mod for it out of interest - after getting my original Grand Prix Legends sim with mods up and working.

Thanks for this info. I may just reinstall it this weekend!

Give me some lap times and car/track combos so I get a sense of where I need to be when I kick this off tonight.

I, of course, am a massive mid-engine V8 Fez fan and plan to make that my ride, but not if that's what everyone's driving.

Good timing Argon!

Here, one of the developers (Aristotelis Vasilakos) talks about the benefits using the safe setup option as a starting point in ACC.

Every beginner will gain time and confidence with only a few clicks changing the base setup. Highly recommended!

Makes sense to me! Matter of fact I plan to take a very different approach to ACC. I've had so much time to think about it, a wait extended by the fact Federal Express did not come through for me, but the seat is 'out for delivery' today. But yeah, with the safety ratings, and trust factor and other things I have a new approach in mind, which I plan to talk about in a new thread I plan to make. See, lots of time to think about it and prepare while I await the arrival of my racing kit! Got a whole roadmap laid out haha.

So we can´t say "happy pit day" yet?

Safe setup Is ok, It´s what I was using at first, I would say aggressive Is even better. I am using my own now which works a bit better then both, but I still think the understeer In ACC Is a bit exaggerated. I did post some time ago a video of the dev explaining In more detail car set ups, see tutorials and gear thread.

No, dammit, and I was ready for it too. But pulling in to the driveway after work revealed no seat had been delivered, and subsequent investigation revealed it was in Northampton, Pennsylvania. But I checked before leaving for work this morning and it's on the delivery truck and if the porch pirates don't strike I should be running tonight!

About the safe setup... gotta start somewhere. I'm a tinkerer, and after a few laps I'll be coming in for the first steps to dial it in. Tire pressures are very important here, ideally around 27-28 degrees, but that might depend on car and compound, although from what I've read there is just dry and wet?

Those exploratory laps will show the car's balance,and like most drivers I have a certain balance I'm looking for, Red hit on the understeer, which I've read as a complaint with ACC, but hopefully that can be dialed out. Tire temps and pressures, corner entry, mid-corner and corner exit balance, top speed all noted and then the fun begins, with frequent trips to the garage to dial out the bad and make it suit my style.

I looked over the setup options in ACC and it's complete. You can adjust everything, a tinkerer's dream. Rough cuts like springs, roll bars and aero are one thing, but stuff like damping, gear ratios and brake duct settings are more delicate. This is where picking a car and sticking with it comes in. Having many settings for engine map, ABS and fuel is something rather new to me and will take time to learn.

So while I may start with the safe setup it won't last five laps before it becomes something else. I like a touch of entry or lift oversteer and firmly planted exits if I can attain that, so for example I might go more open on the coast side of the differential and locking down the power side. But the beautiful thing about car setup is just about everything is interlaced, a change to the rear springs means the front roll bar now has a different reaction to a change. Chassis setup is an art as much as a science and it's one of the most appealing aspects of racing sims to me. Looking forward to the challenge in ACC.

I agree that It also dependes on which car your driving of course. But I am sure that "some" details are hardcoded for all cars. I am sporting the Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II right now and I might need to look Into another car and see what. I am using Monza and Imola as my test tracks.

Although ACC has been doing better due to the newer 5 points wheel mechanics, there are some complains with grip still, and that just might add to the understeer. It´s always worth to do some homework as to not misjudge things as well as find solutions If there can be, or adapt to the limitations. After all ACC Is running on the Unreal engine so that can also be a handicap In some areas of the simulation.

Chicane tracks eh? What sort of laptimes are you turning there?

There's also GT4 if the DLC is owned and it seems to me that's a good place to start. I might just do if the 488 proves too much at first. I wish there was a 360 Stradale or similar in GT4, but I guess I'll need to drive something less than a Ferrari

Audi R8 is mid-engined right? I expect some push out of the front-engined whips, but the mids should be a little more balanced, or I'd expect them to be. Until I acutally turn laps it's all speculation from me.

Oh yeah, one other comment I wanted to make.... I said 'chicane tracks' as if I know them. But after watching an in-car lap around Paul Ricard yesterday -- and seeing the backstraight chicane is not used here -- I really need to wait until I see the configurations used in GT for the tracks I think I know well.

This thread is contagious.
It made me buy the Ultimate version on Steam.
50% off.

The enthusiasm is infectious!

I have much enthusiasm at the moment. Let's see if it survives my initial attempts at completing a lap

That's a good deal, not quite the shopper that Argon is haha, but $40 for all of AC is a good price for a lot of content. Especially if you like Porsches.

I hadn't played AC in a few years, but I reinstalled it a couple days ago. I attempted to drive with a controller, but that's a fiasco. However, it still looked great and the engine notes are glorious. The 458 is vicious at the redline and the V8 rumble at idle is awesome. Have fun Wigean.

Today at Monza with the Audi R8 LMS Evo II and with my own settings (I am new at this), I did 1:59 which Is my best lap for now. Not bad considering I only have about 8hrs. on ACC and a total 60hrs In sim racing, but It obvious that my last name Is not Alonso!

The good thing Is that I am digging this a lot so with time a should get better, I hope!

Yeah I think GT4 would be a good starting point too for all us newbs In ACC,

Thanks for the laptime, gives me a reference point, appreciated.

I think I read that the British GT DLC is needed to multi-class in ACC? Not sure, but yeah, GT4 cars should be considered too I think.

Brought that down to 1:57 with the 720S just now. 488 was nice too but I think the 720S fits me better. Both on aggressive setting out the gate. I am sure I can do better with more time on the 720S as It was the first time taking It out on track.

I think you can do multi-class without the DLC but only with some of the Included base tracks, but you need to choose British GT Championship. That´s what I red. I have all the DLC´s so I can´t tell you If I am missing something.

Got my rig done and fired up AC. Ran the 458 around Monza to get a feel. Then switched to F1 2021 and struggled. I've turned off all the aids and had some trouble laying down the power, but that's a matter of time to put right. Then I fired up ACC.

What a wonderful sim racing experience. This is a sublime simulator. Entered my full name, because of course that's what you do. Set everything to "Pro", tweaked a couple settings and hit the track. I started in the default Lambo and drove around Monza with Red's lap time in mind. Best I could manage was a 1:58 with the 'safe' setup and a few minor tweaks. I still suck at chicanes haha.

Swapped to the 488 and was not able to better my time.

Then I hit Kyalami, which I hadn't driven since 2007 in GPL. Honestly it didn't click with me in the sense that I've done this before, that the track felt familiar. It felt new and in many ways it is. Spent some time there re-learning it, but not really putting together a great lap. Then I switched to Zandvoort and here I started to feel it. Dove a little deeper in to chassis set up and the car felt planted. I could throw it in to the corners, whip it around and get on the throttle early. Felt amazing! I started getting more animated with the wheel, not so timid, but aggressive ya know? The 488 was a joy to drive.

This must be a version of Zandvoort that's about four years old, because there have been some changes to the track that are not in ACC, but you get used to it quickly. Best lap was 1:44.25, but I had to shut it down for the night as work beckons in the morning.

Honestly I was absolutely loving it. The amazing sounds, the feel of the car, the force feedback. Manual shifting. I used hotlap mode. It drops you in the car with the engine NOT running. How the hell do you start this thing? Controls. Ignition, OK, Starter, OK. Back to the sim and cranking it over but it won't catch. I drive sticks in real life and to start my vehicles you need to push in the clutch. So I tried it here (getting that three-pedal set up is already paying off!) and that amazing Ferrari motor kicked over and rumbled at idle and oh yeah baby! Hit the gas and stalled out! I actually need to let out the clutch. Never expected this but it feels awesome.

I'm really happy with how it all turned out and I already love this sim. Can't wait to improve!

And AC/ACC have excellent replay systems. Best I've seen since the Papy days.

Nice DBond, glad your having fun! The more one dives In the more fun It becomes, well until you start trying to beat your own lap times. But even so, you always learn, or want to learn from each lap, overall a great experience. Bring In some rain, that´s very Immersive!

Just a tip, with a "safe" set-up you will get understeer, It´s actually meant to be that way so you can start from scratch your tweaking. Another tip Is that ACC´s tyre model Is basically focused on tyre pressures/temp/diameter. Compound Is not simulated as In rFactor 2 (which you should really try out). You will have grip on the first 2-3 laps, then It will degrade a bit for 1-2 laps then after will stabilize so keep that In mind.

Yes, even if it isn't industry-leading, the tire model here is the most advanced I've played. Looking around I saw blisters, flat spots, graining in the feedback. I'm here for it

Settled on the Bentley for the moment after trying out different cars on all tracks and getting a feeling and all the trackmedals as a consequence.

Doing mostly quick races now to get my Safety Rating up to 80 which seems to be the magical number being able to join the "better" MP servers for the future.
Was a nice surprise seeing they allow doing that offline without the need to grind through open lobby mayhem to get that number up!

Has the added benefit of getting comfortable running very close to other cars with the appropriate AI difficulty/aggression level.

What´ s your approach so far in ACC?

The only way to run with AI is to start a race event? Was looking for a way to add them in practice mode.



I have just two days in the books, but making progress. Drove about thirty laps 'round Brand's Hatch last night. This is a proper circuit, seemingly unchanged from the GPL days, when it was one of my favorite add-ons. Elevation change makes such a difference in how fun tracks are to drive.

I've not wrapped me noggin around the ratings system. I'm making no progress aside from TR (track rating?). There's also consistency and car control and those are not increasing. There's a requirement to do two clean laps. I've done none, it seems, despite the fact that I think I have done dozens of clean laps. There must be a speed or laptime threshold here? I feel like I'm driving well, but am I that far off the pace? So slow that the ratings system isn't even engaging?

Mostly my approach has been from the setup side. Experimenting with the settings. Like rake and ride heights. But this is slow going, making small changes and testing it on the track. How does the differential work? It's not split between coast and power sides.

I also ran some laps in AC. I saw an achievement to beat 1:56 at Imola in the 458. I managed it in the 458 GT2, but I guess it has to be done in the Italia. Derp.

Derek, don´t know if that got already posted here, but just to be safe here is a link which explains the complete rating system: ACC Driver Ratings

Good info Frank, and I looked this stuff up last night. Still at a loss as to why my laps are not 'clean'. I even watched replays and don't understand it yet. Looked clean to me

Didn´t even think about this till now, thanks.

I think I'm just slow. I think my laps are clean but so slow they don't count. I hit 1:56 at Monza but I looked in to it and some guys are going ten seconds faster. I have lots of work to do to close such a massive gap.

I think I have two weaknesses right now. Well, probably more, but two main ones that I need to focus on to improve my laptimes. I felt great running 1:34s at Brand's Hatch but that's again ten or more seconds off the top times. I don't expect to be there, but 1:25s should be doable for me. So that means finding a massive nine seconds.

The first weakness is braking. Yep, I need to go slower to go faster haha I am losing a lot of time by not braking in the right places, and part of that is identifying brake markers or braking points. There isn't much along side some of these tracks to use as markers. And in addition to that, I need to rediscover trail braking, which I can feel is crucial to good laptimes in this sim. I need to drive better with both feet, at the same time. There's speed to unlock by working both pedals at the same time.

The second thing is line. To get those fast laps you need to hit every apex and use the whole track, which I am not. I'm just six hours in to this adventure so I don't expect to be fast out of the box. And honestly I would sneer if the sim allowed me to jump in and go fast.

But at least I have targets, and specific things to work on and improve.

Derek, here is a very detailed ACC track guide video for Brands Hatch by one of the aliens in that sim:



I was very surprised how much of the track you can in use in that sim without invalidating your laptime.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I think I should also start trying other cars too. Maybe I'd do better in a different one. I love the Ferrari but not that information cluster on the dash.

The BMW M4 was the easiest of the GT 3´s to get comfortable and fast without too much of an effort. The car feels just great out of the box!

It turns out it was my wheel. I had made zero progress in the consistency and car control ratings, despite the fact I felt I was both in control and fairly consistent, some of the time haha.

I decided to revisit my wheel settings. I'm new again and these are the sorts of things you dial in over time. I made a several tweaks. The changes worked great, the wheel is much better now. But the best thing is the changes triggered the ratings I wasn't getting. I went from beginner to FIA Bronze rating in an hour turning laps at Spa. These ratings were not working, changed the wheel settings, and suddenly they worked. The program is evaluating your control inputs, and something I did convinced the sim that I was now in control, when before it calculated that I was not.

Honestly nothing really changed as far as my pace, driving technique or racing line. But all of a sudden those ratings meters started working. I made a few changes, so I don't know which was the magic one, but I suspect it is the minimum force setting. I think my wheel has a FFB deadzone because of the hybrid system, and I think that in some way 'cuts out' the inputs, making the program see continual disruptions in my control. Just speculation, but whatever is the explanation it is now working, and my ratings are going up. I even hit the track with some AI for a bit of practice and now have a safety rating too.

Spa was wonderful. Not sure if it's the track or the setup but the car was just locked in, everything amazingly stable and smooth. Twenty laps and never made a single slip aside from an overcooked exit one time at Eau Rogue. It was a sublime driving experience. I also turned more laps at Monza and Brand's Hatch (two-second improvement). Then I swapped to AC and tried to get that 458 achievement at Imola, and failed.

Then I swapped to the Lotus 49 at '66 Monza.and oh my god I was playing GPL again. Just fantastic. I saw an achievement called something like "Old GPLer's Know why This is Important", to break 1:30. That's a fun target but I didn't break it. Not far off, but I really struggle to put the power down out of Parabolica. And I suck at Lesmos. I'll keep working on this.

I mean, come on, right?

After watching Red Bull sweep the weekend at Imola I settled in to my new rig and started cranking out the laps. I'm still slow, but I now have ratings, adding Pace yesterday. Turned my first laps in ACC at Donnington, Paul Ricard, Silverstone and Imola. Car Control rating is in the 80s so I must be doing OK, but I'm still way off the pace. Dipped in to the 1:54s at Monza in the 488 running a Hotlap Event to establish Pace rating. That is a full seven seconds off the top time submitted.

I'd like to add that I was thrilled to see the leaderboards have only legitimate times. Every racing sim or game I run has hundreds of cheat laps at the top of the board. But not ACC and that's great to see.

I also ran three races at Spa, just quick race set to 20 minutes. One thing I need to work on is pit procedures. I made these races short enough that I wouldn't need to pit, but there's a lot of jeopardy and penalties lurking here and I'll need to get that sorted so I can do it right. What's the best approach, while minimizing how much menu navigation must be done while driving?

I also spent time driving other cars. Turned laps in the Mercedes, Huracan, one of the 911s, McLaren 720 and one of the BMWs for another one of the Events, a Hot Stint session at Brand's Hatch. M2 CS I think, maybe a GT4 or Cup car? I was lapping about 12 seconds slower in this one.

At the moment I feel like the proverbial tortoise. Good consistency but pace is slow. Unlocking the pace is eluding me, despite hundreds of laps I'm not making much progress on going faster. That challenge is motivating me.

I also returned to AC to see if I could break 1:30 at old Monza in the Lotus 49 but best I could manage was 1:33.3.

For the moment I´m just making sure that I have adding fuel disabled in the pitstop menue entry in the setup screen before the race.

So, that the crew doesn´t add fuel when I have to visit the pits for some repairs needed after a crash.

Navigating menus while trying to lap at speed has never gone well for me.

You have to also 'confirm' a new driver before getting to the pit right? Seems there are several things you have to set and confirm to pit properly. But maybe this can all be set in the setup, and the attention required during the race can be minimized.

I said give me a month to get accustomed to all this new racing stuff, but three days will do

Hooked up with NimRud tonight for a multiplayer test and I had a blast. Productive too as I set new PBs at both Brand's Hatch and Zandvoort, knocking two seconds off at each track. That's awesome, and thanks to Frank (NimRud) for the tip to change FOV, which I did. That shouldn't explain laptime improvement, but it's all I changed.

Frank and I raced in the same leagues all those years ago, and talking tonight on Teamspeak I realized it had been about fifteen years! Wow. It's a privilege to do so once again, you're a top racer and a cool dude.

Yeah I had an absolutely brilliant time. We ran around Mt Panaroma, and it's my first time here since the GTR days. But a couple tours around and we were zipping along in tandem. It's a challenging circuit, full of dips and twists, and it was awesome. Frank's about six seconds faster, so he had to reign it in a bit to run with me, but he did it perfectly, somehow running at just the right speed to maintain his lead while I ran near my limit. My Trust and Safety ratings both shot up. The car felt hooked up and I could really go for it and what a great driving experience. Really loving this sim. And finding some pace is a great motivator.

I turned a 2:11 in the 488 Evo and left a second or two easy out there on the tarmac, Frank ran a 2:06 and probably did the same. Thanks for the session Frank, that was a lot of fun and see you next time.

I was hoping for some replies after so much enthusiasm haha.

After running with Frank for a couple hours I did the seasonal event with the Huracan at Imola. It's a 30-minute Hot Stint. I was running in the low 1:50s, with a PB of 1:50-flat. This was good for my ratings. Running with Frank on the server, and visiting a new circuit brought down the Consistency rating. I felt like I did well, but I was running 2:18 and then brought it down a little each lap to 2:11. So that's an improvement of 7 seconds. That is not consistent. So it doesn't matter if you're getting better or worse, consistency is exactly that. So of course as I learn each new track the consistency will naturally suffer even if I'm doing well.

The Hot Stint for 30 minutes of course encourages consistent lapping and my Consistency rating recovered.

I then switched to AC and tried to beat 1:56 at Imola in the 458 and again failed dreadfully. Not even close yet.

The GPL mod shot looks really great! I must admit I'm terrible driving these cars, but I do love driving them. My times are all over the place, and add in other cars in the mix and I tend to spin out and crash more often than not. The '67 season was the best IMO.

The GPL mod does look great, but I have yet to get it.The Lotus 49 and 1966 Monza are stock I think. I only have one or two AC DLC, Dream packs as they are called, and no mods yet, but I think everyone has the Lotus and old Monza.

It's really a handful, as we'd expect of course. My lap is fine until I get to Lesmos, where I suddenly feel like I'm piloting a sled, so easy to snap when you get on the throttle. Then wide open through the old Ascari, before it was polluted with a chicane, and down to Parabolica. My lap really falls apart here, even if I get the braking right, putting the power down out of Parabolica is so difficult. The car wants to skate right out and the modulating throttle to keep it in check kills the run down the pitstraight, killing my lap time. My PB in GPL here was 1:28.177, in the Eagle though. Benchmark was 1:30.202, hence the name of the achievement for breaking it in Assetto Corsa.

But I've not gone faster than 1:33.3 in AC. Max power side differential is 80 in AC, when I could go 85 in GPL. A small difference, but would let me lay down the power out of Parabolica better. Instead I need to get it right with springs and camber. I've got too much rotation right now both throttle-on and throttle-off to turn fast laps. But I like this sort of challenge as you try to hit targets through a combination of better setup and better driving. 3.3 seconds though might be beyond me

My first night action, this at Misano on the SimHQ server

Turning laps in the 488 Evo

Had the day off yesterday and managed some seat time amid all the adult responsibilities.

Tested our new server by running a race event solo at Misano. I came in first by some margin

Spent a lot of time with chassis setup, learning it better. The differential has always been one of the best ways for me to tweak cornering balance, but in ACC it's different. A single setting, rather than having the differential split between power and coast sides. Bottom line is that lower preload values mean more oversteer on corner entry and less on exit. As ever it's a balancing act, but it's a good setting to play with to dial in your cornering behavior.

I used that to good effect at Brand's Hatch, dipping in to the 1:29s there. That's five full seconds I've found in the past couple of days. Now to find another five.

I also ran an offline sprint race event at Spa, although all I did was practice and qualifying, then had to shut it down for the night. Managed to drop in to the 2:24s.

My lap times are generally about 6-8 seconds off the top times at any given track, but this motivates me and the times are tumbling as I learn the sim and improve my skills.

My son returned from two weeks in Florida with the ex. He is 12 and a car guy. His knowledge of cars puts me to shame lol. I casually said I decided to get back in to sim racing, which he has long encouraged me to do. He said, did you get a wheel? I said yeah it's upstairs and he bounded up the stairs. Woah! he said spotting the racing rig. I let him and his friend turn laps in ACC at Brand's Hatch and he was loving it. He did pretty good too, breaking 1:40 in the Lambo.

I had read there is a setting to turn off the driver ratings system so you can show ACC to friends and family. It can be set to On or Multiplayer Only. So I set it to MP but a word of warning, that my Car Control rating was not disabled, and as my son and his friend spun and crashed around Brand's Hatch my CC rating plummeted, from low 80s to low 60s.

So who's driving these sims? What are your favorite cars and tracks? What laptimes are you turning? Which setup changes are you making, and how is it working? I see no posts about this stuff and despite talking about it for weeks I have no idea what cars and tracks anyone likes, how they're doing. Let's talk about it

I hopped on to the SimHQ server last night, finding Hungaroring on the docket. First time here in ACC, but I know the track well enough from F1 and was turning 1:50.

No one stopped by so then I decided to see if I could identify a second GT3 car that I really like, other than the Ferrari. Drove a number of them for short stints. Unlike many sims I find it difficult in ACC to really feel the differences between the cars, maybe because they are so similar to meet the GT3 regs. It doesn't jump out at me which cars accelerate best, corner better, have the most power. There are differences, but it's not easy for me to really feel them. So I'm left to choose less by performance and more by the soft factors. Cockpit view, dash layout, engine sounds.

The winner of the shootout was the Audi R8. I really like this car in ACC. Feels nicely balanced. The engine note is intoxicating. Sounds freakin' fantastic when passing a wall, like a Formula 1 car. Compared to something like the AMG which sounds like a Huey. Love the sound of the R8 V10! I also like the dash, and especially how the TC and ABS readouts flash blue when they engage. That's instant real-time feedback that I think will make me a smoother driver. Maybe other cars do the same thing, but if so it wasn't so apparent. In the R8 it is and noticed in the peripheral.

So yeah, going to go with the R8 for a while.

Did some more practice at Brand's Hatch, which has become my de facto test track. Such a great layout and I think if you can master this track you can tame them all. Managed to drop my PB a few tenths to 1:28.1. Getting there.

Because my ratings had suffered so much from letting my son drive it I wanted to recover them if I could so did another Hot Stint seasonal challenge. Picked one from the past, so it didn't count for score, but still boosted my ratings. 20 minutes of lapping consistently does wonders for the ratings. Then I ran another race at Spa, bumping the AI to 90/90 which puts them closer to my level, I qualified a half second in front on a 39-degree track. Led in to Eau Rouge and stayed there, winning by 9 seconds (30-minutes race). My ratings would be better served with some measured passing moves, but even still my ratings recovered over the course of the night. Still FIA Bronze, but now sitting on 7,400 points. What does it take to hit Silver?

My laptimes are improving every day as I learn more about the sim, setups, tracks and lines. But I'm still well off the pace. Here's a handy chart. The top times are fantasy for me at the mo, but the rookie column is within reach I think.




I'm within a second at Spa and Brand's Hatch for example and some others are close too. Those top times seem insane at this point to me. These laps are assumed to be with 80l on board

I finally got around to installing AC last night and hopefully today I will play it and check out the new solo career mode. I hadn't played AC in over 4 years according to Steam.

With regards to ACC, I am around but I am just not running ACC for now as I am more Into rF2, so I am turning with that. Will get back to ACC at some point.

Hopefully soon while we have a dedicated server and some interest!

Hopped in last night for a long session of trying to improve. I mostly did that.

Started off on the SimHQ server and ran a race in the R8 at Suzuka. That was a new track for me in ACC, and I also turned laps at Nurburgring and Oulton Park. I had confused Hockenheim and the Ring in my mind and was well confused for a bit when the track didn't go where I expected it to.

Hopped back on the server in hopes someone might be around, but it was empty. Catalunya was up so I turned some laps. I said I was switching to the R8 for a while, but I decided to run this session in the 911. I had only briefly run this car, and I ignored it since it is the consensus hardest car to drive,

But man it clicked for me. At Barcelona I lopped 1.5 seconds off my PB, to 1:49-flat, then went to Brand's Hatch --the real test considering all the laps I've turned here -- and set a new PB on the first stint, dipping in to the 1:27s. I then took it to Spa but not as fast here.

Oulton Park is a delightful romp through the countryside.

For the moment the 911 is my ride

It's actually a 991, but same difference.

Hopped on the SimHQ server to find Oulton Park on the docket. Spent about 45 minutes working on the lines in the Porsche. Great track, this.

I also hit Laguna Seca, Zolder, Paul Ricard and Donington. Made Donington a race event with practice set to an hour so I could run with AI on the track. Good fun, and the AI is pretty good to run with. Donington is not on that pace chart I posted above. Too bad there's no discussion here, maybe someone would have posted about their laps at Donington? Just kidding.

Split time between the 991 and the 488. I like both of these cars, but the feel varies widely from track to track, which is down to the setups that are included and that I use as a baseline. At one track it will feel hooked up and the next greasy as hell. I need to identify those setups that feel great, see how they're done, and then transfer those settings to other tracks, with of course certain changes to suit the new track. No setup fits all.

I think the only tracks I've yet to run are Snetterton and Silverstone. So I'll run those next and get the Track Competence maxxed out. Three stars at every track is the goal, which just requires stringing together four valid laps. It's easy to get caught out by track limits, breaking the consecutive lap string.

I changed to dynamic weather, mostly fair, but it will introduce changing track temps, cloud cover, wet conditions and the like.

The program thinks I'm overdriving, which is true, but that's how you find the limit right? Becoming smoother is a goal, slow is fast and all that, plus for endurance racing tyre management is key. So you want to be fast but also easy on the shoes. Better braking, smoother lines, less wheel input. I changed the HUD settings to show Car Control, and it gives continual feedback about how you're driving. Too much wheel, too slow, too wide etc. I can't watch this while attempting to drive, but last night my son was calling out every piece of feedback.

And then he took over the rig, fired up AC and had a blast drifting around a drift track while I couldn't get a turn. Confiscated!

Made FIA Silver rating. It's 8,000 points it seems, but not straight away. It seemed that there's a requirement to keep it there for a bit before the license is granted. I think I read 250km. So hit 8,000 and keep it there for 250km and then Silver. Or so it appeared. Anyway, that's great, and a goal reached. I filled in laps at Snetterton and Silverstone. Now have three stars at all but six tracks, which all have two. This isn't hard, just string together four consecutive, so just takes putting in the time.

Spent time in the 991 and the 488, plus did a number of laps in GT4 cars (570S and Clubsport) to give those cars a bit of a run out.

Spent a lot more time tweaking setups and hitting the track to feel how much effect it has. This process takes forever, but pays off. And if you're going to do this you can't really be hopping around from car to car since the characteristics are so different. Just something like ride height and rake, testing how it works. The 991 default safe setup for example has a really high rake compared to other marques. Should it? Is it better, for me? Well that takes 20+ laps to figure out, maybe. It's art as much as science as I think I said earlier, and for me such a fun part of racing sims.

I need to start practicing pitting and then I'll start a career or championship.

I spent some time with AC over the past few days and I was reminded about just how crappy the brakes are on most of these cars. I got too used to the instant-performance of the F1 brakes. After going off the track a few times though I got back into the AC groove.

I think it depends on the car to an extent too. I keep trying to get a certain achievement in the 458 Italia at Imola, and keep failing, but that's never been much of a problem. And in the 458 the setup options are sparse. No brake bias, or spring settings or just about anything can be altered like you can on some cars. And man do the brakes suck on this thing, which is partly why I keep failing at the challenge. So it's like a 458 off the showroom floor and not a racing version.

The 458 GT2 is a track version, with setup options and lightened considerably and that car brakes much better, as you'd expect (which is partly due to being so much lighter weight)

The transition from F1 to GT cars has been challenging for me. In F1 you are always full on the throttle or full on the brakes, little time is spent in the half-spaces if you know what I mean. Assetto Corsa takes a more measured approach, more pedal dancing and feel is involved, partial brake pressure, feathered throttle, trail braking. The two disciplines require very different driving technique and I'm only just starting to get on top of it.

Hopped on the server yesterday and met up with Frank where we chatted and turned some practice at Zandy. I did a lot of driving over the weekend and set PBs all over. Getting better at this.

The server isn't going to last long I don't think. The interest here at SimHQ has been disappointing. We have had just one player request the server password and frankly it won't make sense to keep it going if so few are interested. We'll see how it goes in the near term, but yeah, if there's no interest it doesn't make sense to keep paying for it.

I hope for some enthusiasm and an upturn in participation, but I can also see that the interest just isn't there, with little discussion, no inquiries and no one turning out.

So that pushes me in to off line racing, and I've started a Championship, with the first race at Imola, driving the Black Nine Racing 2020 Porsche 991. Two 30 minute practices, 20 minute qualifying and 30 minute race. AI is set to 90/90 which puts them right at my level and it's good racing. I qualified on pole by .070 and got jumped off the line by the Lambo along side. Finally caught him several laps later only to make contact attempting to get by which spun me. Got going in fourth and passed one other Lambo to finish third. Good start but it could have been better at one of my favorite tracks. My fastest lap was 1:47.9 which I did for pole and in the race.

The Lamborghinis and Audis seem to be the strongest marques among AI cars. They are the cars most often at or near the top of the timing screens.

Is the server running both AC and ACC or just the latter? I should be able to get on it some time this week if AC is on it. I haven't bought ACC yet.

It's ACC only PM. I also have AC and would participate in MP AC stuff too.

I think I'll pick up Race Room soon and give that a look.

Ok thanks for that info. I'll see if ACC goes on sale any time soon.

Bought rFactor2 but ran in to issues and went back to ACC, round two of my championship at Brand's Hatch. With all the practice I've turned here I hoped to have a good race. Qualified on pole by a few tenths but was again jumped off the line by Lambos, two this time and I settled in to third. Need to get better starts. They're rolling two by two starts in this sim. I managed top get by one to run second, but some minor mistakes here and there prevented challenging for the lead and I finished six seconds adrift. Points are like F1, top ten pay, so I'm in good shape for the championship, sitting third, eight points back.

I'm using dynamic weather, although nothing extreme yet. This does vary the temp, and this race was run on a 40-degree track, plus there's a bit of a breeze.

Had some time to kill waiting to get the boy from school and decided to clean up my track competency and now all tracks are three stars. Aiming for that gold license

Drove a different car for each, mixed GT3 and GT4 along with a Lambo cup car. Even took the X-Bow out for a spin.

I fouled up my championship. Third race was at SIlverstone. At each race the event options come back up and you have to make any changes you want here. How long is practice, how many races, how many qualifying sessions and so on. It defaults to three qualifying sessions, and I missed that this time. So I ran good practice, topping out at 2:05 flat, which I was disappointed to see is nearly three seconds off the 'Rookie' pace from the chart I posted. Felt really good!

Anyway, when I got to qualifying I turned another 2:05 and while sitting in the pits I noticed my error in not setting it to one qualifying. So I decided to skip session and again to bring us to Q3, where yet another 2:05 set pole. In to the race to find I was starting 24th, last. Session 1 was the one that counted, not session 3 and so I was at the end.

I was able to go from 24th to 9th, but got in to a lot of incidents, tanking my ratings. Car Control had risen to 90, but not after SIlverstone haha. My OWBP shot up too I'm sure.

I might start a new one since I fouled this one up.

Started a new championship and got to the race to see I had not set it to 'no pit'. Back to the drawing board. Focus!

So instead I decided to run the seasonal challenge at Paul Ricard. This is a 60 minute hot stint in the Audi R8. This would be the longest stint I've done yet, Started it to find the car just wouldn't turn in. Way too much entry understeer and it would have been such a chore to drive it for 60 minutes.

Restarted and made some set up changes. I wanted better turn in, so raised the rear ride height, stiffened the rear springs, softened the front roll bar while stiffening the rear, reduced the differential one notch, adjusted tire pressures and put in full fuel for the hour-long stint. Much better but still a little push through to mid corner. But drivable and even a bit docile which would serve me well over a long run.

I guess so few players have attempted it that despite my rather pedestrian effort I am now number 299 on the leaderboard. That was a nice boost to the Pace rating, and now I'm getting close to that coveted Gold license.

I keep meaning to mention this but it keeps slipping. I really like this sim, one of my favorites that I've driven. It's focused and drives great. A true sim. I've been having a great time with it, trying to improve and reach that Gold license level.

But there's a glaring hole in ACCs game and that's car details. There are none, which is unacceptable really. No car weight, or engine type, displacement or location. No weight distribution numbers, wheelbase info, power or torque or any statistical information of any kind. This is a huge miss in my view. The devs could pay a player like $500 and a game credit to compile this.

One issue specific to the series covered here is it is BoP (Balance of Performance) so that even manufacturer's specs are not helpful, as weight is added or engines detuned to bring the cars to a level field. This is a big miss in a sim like this, or at least for me it is as this sort of information is useful and interesting.

I enjoy the sim more and more.
DBond with 25 years of racing experience compared to my 1 week means that I have my hands full. More details I will worry about later.
I have more problems with discarted laps than thinking about details.

I started with trying different tracks just to get the feel of where I am or rather what I lack when racing. Think that was smart because it gave me a reality check.
Just like a norwegian world rally champion said. He translated a norwegian saying to english which went viral.
"It`s not only only, but but"!
Meaning it is hard.
I have now started a career. Highly recommended for beginners,

Btw here is an example of how we norwegians speak english.

I'm happy you're enjoying it. Let's meet up one evening and turn some laps on the server. If you stay up late, that is

Have a look at the GT4 cars too. Those are a great introduction.

I will.
The time zone is a problem, but I will try .

I have tried to find the server, but it does not show up. I`ve seen it only twice since I started.

I can often work out an earlier meet on Sundays and Tuesdays when I don't work. Just floating it out there. Norwigean sounds fun to listen to

ACC will be free to play over the coming weekend.

And get´s a hefty 60 % discount right now on Steam for the base game and all DLC´s.

Thanks for the heads up.
All DLC bought.

Thanks for this news. I'll buy ACC today.

@ Wigean as Panzer got in (good to see that Panzer's in). I had been wondering if the reason you might not see the server sometimes is you didn't have all of the DLC tracks, and this development will show if that is true.

I started off last night with rFactor, running my first race in that sim at Lime Rock Park. When that was done I swapped to ACC. As mentioned I am hunting that Gold license, so I thought I'd see if I could polish up any of the current seasonal events. I did both of the Hotlap challenges, one in the Honda at Nurburgring. I'm not so good here. Managed to improve my standing, but still well off the top times.

Then I ran the 488 Challenge Evo event at Monza. Monza of course was the track I started on, and got in lots of laps while I got a handle on ACC. Best lap at the time was 1:54.1 in this same event. But I've had lots of practice since then so wondered if I would show some improvement. I did, but not much, dropping my PB there to 1:53.5. Better's good enough

Then I started yet another championship, again in the 991, mixing up the track order, and kicked it off at Donington. Donington's a great track,and the one I probably drove most in GTR/2. Love it here. Managed to show good improvement, dropping my PB to a 1:32-flat. Race went well, but I have them running right at my best. Qualified second, .060 off pole. The Lambos and Audis are the top AI cars and here again.

Got jumped by the third placed car and settled in for the 30 minute race. All went well as I just stayed there and crossed the line for a decent result. Jack Aitken in his Huracan was closing me down in the final laps, but held him off for a valuable 15 points in the bag.

All this activity boosted my ratings slightly, that Golden ticket closer within reach.

Yes , the reason for not finding the server must be that I didn`t have all the tracks.
I checked just now and found the server.
Right now it was Snetterton, the track DBond loves .....
I will try to do some laps later today. Not sure if I am on late, but I doubt it.

Snetterton must be done. I might not like it, but it's there and cannot be ignored

I've always had it in for dead-flat tracks. Need me some elevation, some undulation, Much more fun to drive.

Glad to see the DLC may have been the fix.

ACC has been bought and I'll install it tonight. Tomorrow I will start checking it out.

Well seeing as we're both on the east coast, hit me up if you want to turn a few in the future. Server password available through NimRud or myself.

Have fun!

Thanks and I will definitely show up on the server once I feel I'm somewhat competent in ACC!

Sounds good PM. I said give me a month but then was online in three days haha.

There's some adjustment time needed, but these cars are not so hard to keep on the road, and even easier if you kick it off in GT4 or a cup car. One challenge is identifying your ride, sifting through all the choices to find the one that speaks to you. There's no reason a player can't hop from one to the next, but I think progress will be more swift when mastering a certain chassis. The cars feel different enough, especially cornering balance.

I've settled on the Porsche 991 II GTR 3 as my ride. I wouldn't have picked it coming in. I really like these cars, but not like I like Ferrari. And then you think about the Lamborghinis and the Audis and the rest and those seem like more potent cars, and in the AI's hands they are. I started mostly in the 488 and did OK I guess and then tested out some others. I gave the 991 a shot on a whim and really took to it.

Shamefully the game contains no car specs, so I'm just guessing,but the Porsche must have the highest rear-biased weight distribution or close to it. This makes the car feel better to me than many of the others which have more push in them. This weight bias gives the Porsche better turn in rotation for me, more sensitive to driving with the pedals instead of the wheel, more responsive to lift oversteer which is what I like when banging in to the next corner.

The concensus is that the Porsche is the hardest car to drive, but I don't feel that way. Then again, I'm five or more seconds off the top times at some tracks and this reduced pace might explain why I think it's not so hard. Maybe on the actual edge it's a more menacing machine. It also seems to be a bit down at the horsepower tracks like Spa, where I struggle to match my lap times in the 488.

The BMW, Mercedes and Bentley are all bit more docile, forgiving I think because of the weight distribution, and handle things like kerbs better. The McLaren's sort of in the middle. I wanted to like it but didn't do so well in it and thought the windscreen opening was not big enough! Like it has less glass to look through. The Honda's are not competitive. The Lexus is an interesting choice, but I couldn't race a Lexus

After leaving the SimHQ server last night I resumed my championship. As fate would have it next up was Laguna Seca, which I had just left on the server. That gave me plenty of warm up and nice new setup to run. As a result I was maybe a little too fast for the AI this time, qualifying on pole by six-tenths. Once again got jumped off the line by a pair of Lambos. They really get me. These are rolling starts and I'm so wary of jumping the lights and getting a penalty. Lambos are all-wheel drive (I guess!) and that seems to pay off at the start.

But my pace advantage told when the tires came up and I got by both in the final corner braking zone to sneak down the inside heading up the pitstraight. Won by fifteen seconds, Exactly matching my practice PB in the race. Consistent enough in my laps that my PB is 1:26.5, and the other time displayed, which is your best five-lap consecutive average, is 1:27.000.

This win moves me to second in the table , three points adrift.

I searched for ACC car specs and came across this wonderful piece

https://trinacriasimracing.wordpress.com/acc-gt3-cars/

It's a run down of car characteristics and more in depth than we usually see. It's for ACC, evidently, but reading it I kept wondering how much of what is said is real-world and how much is modeled in the sim. Either way, it makes for some good reading and might help one or two settle on their number one.

Good find, Derek! Very interesting and informative!

Thanks Frank, and yes that was on a different level than this sort of stuff we usually see. Well done to the author.

FIA Gold License is mine.


After hopping off the server with Frank I was still looking to improve haha. I ran the new seasonal challenge, this one a ten-minute hotsprint at Catalunya in a Huracan. That put me over 9000 points. So to get the license I needed to maintain that level for a bit, which I did by running two offline races in my championship. First was Imola, where I got smoked off the line again but came back to win, setting a nice new PB in the process. It didn't quite trigger the Gold license so I ran the next race too, at Brand's Hatch, finishing third after getting jumped off the line again. #%&*$# those Lambos. #%&*$# them!

As you can see by getting the gold license in a couple of weeks, I am motivated by challenges. So the achievements help identify them. I'm always failing, because the ones in AC are hard. And I don't understand most of them. Like there are ones for specific cars at specific tracks and listed as bronze, silver and gold achievements. Well how do I know what to do? Any mode? How do I see what the requirements are to hit those thresholds? Is it specific laptimes, or how does it work? Anyone put any time in to this?

I've spent a few hours now trying to lap around Imola in the 458 in under 1:56 and have barely broken 2 minutes. I'll not hit that, but I keep trying.

Another one I've mentioned is the one to break 1:30 in the Lotus 49 at the old Monza. Spent some time today trying out various setup changes. Made the car a lot better, but it's a mess mid-corner as a result and the Lesmos complex is slowing me down. Just when you get the car hooked up for one thing, it's not any more for something else. Balance, eh?

But yeah, better anyway and dropped down to 1:31.3. Now it feels in reach, if I can drive better.

Static screenshots fail to really capture the majesty of the drift

How are you getting on with it Panzer?

New car pack out for ACC (in April). I picked it up for the Ferrari 296. Includes Ferrari 296 GT3, Porsche 911 (992) GT3 R, Lamborghini Huracàn EVO and Circuit Ricardo Tormo - Valencia

2023 GT World Challenge Pack for ACC

I'm still waiting for AI cars to be added to multiplayer races in ACC. Sorry but the single player aspect of the game I find to be rather dull and sterile. I get bored after about 30 minutes of playing it in single player.

Have a look at AMS2 then.

The single player racing in ACC is great, can't agree with you there.

AMS2 just had an AI update and it's pretty good.

I may eventually look into AMS2 once I'm done with F1 2023. Would you say the single player in AMS2 is just as immersive as the single player in F1 2023?

Good question, and difficult to answer. Let's give it a go anyway....

The answer is probably best stated as a yes and a no. Let me 'splain. No, there is too much, let me sum up

F1 23 is the most immersive sim I've ever played when we take everything about it in to account. And that means career mode, engineering, session fidelity, practice programmes, weather system, talking to your engineer, official licenses, drivers and liveries, laser scanned tracks, rules and regulations. Everything that surrounds the actual driving and racing is as good as there is. If there is one way F1 23 falls short it is in the physics. I'd have to rate it as sim-cade. This bothers me not a bit, I Iove to race in this game. It is immersive for me in every sense. I feel like a F1 driver when I play. And that's the barometer right there.

AMS2 on the other hand does not come close to matching F1 23 in those ways. But it is more immersive for me in the car. The sights, the sounds, the way it bounces and rattles, the whine of the supercharger or turbo. The sensation of driving, the feel of the tires on the tarmac. I often praise the 'soundscape' in AMS2. I mean, take a Porsche 992 out for a spin around Interlagos and it is just a symphony. The sensations of driving a car like this are fantastic.

So I guess which one is more immersive might depend on what the player thinks defines this term. If you want to be immersed in the details of driving a race car, AMS2 is better in my view. If you want to immerse yourself in what it means to be a race car driver, then F1 23 comes out on top. I am threading the needle here with this distinction, but I reckon you'll know what I mean.

Thanks for that great reply and yes, I totally understand the difference you are making here. As for me, I lean more towards the type of immersion that F1 offers over the immersion that AMS2 offers but I like both.

My problem with both Asseto Corsa games is that they are TOO far into the AMS2 type of immersion and very little to none of the F1 type of immersion.

I lean that way too. I like all the peripheral stuff. Don't get me wrong, AMS2 is a delight to drive, but it just doesn't have the supporting cast that F1 23 has. I drive AMS2 mostly as a hotlap sim. I race in F1 23.

And I recommended AMS2 for you because you can put AI in the field for MP racing.

Fired up ACC last night for the first time in ages. Sort of forgot how amazing this sim is. Took my brand new Ferrari 296 out at Laguna Seca. A delight.

Having only really driven F1 23 over the past few months, it was evident right away how much better the FFB is, and I can actually feel the onset of lost grip, which is so nice.

It's great to have so many racing sims to drive. And ACC is one of the best.

How´s the world of burning rubber doing?

Hope you all are doing well and racing all you can!

I am, err In there...

Are you all using "Content Manager" with AC?

Welcome back Red!

I had a period of intense activity catching up with AC, installing CM and CSP and finding all sorts of interesting cars. Not all downloads seem to agree with my CM/CSP install though so I sort of got tired of messing with it.

ACC is not for me though, as GT's is not really my thing.

We're hotlapping in AMS2 at the moment so if you feel like joining you're more than welcome I'm sure.

Hi and thank you for the welcome!

I had some Issues with my usual rF2 sim and my new video card (AMD RX 6700) not getting along some months ago, so I found myself spending more time with other sims, and AC with CM/CSP really did It for me. Filled my garage with most of VRC (Formula cars), RSS (older Formula plus others), and URD mods. Only mod that´s not paid for are the ones used In the video below. You do need to be careful and make sure the mods are compatible with you´re version of CM/CSP. I have no Issue because paid mods are usually up to date, and/or the mods are none dependent of CM/CSP.

This group have a lot of fun and race every weekend. Mostly old school stuff.

These cars are so much fun to drive!

For now I can´t race, I am on sick leave from work due to some arm pain, so I can´t drive unfortunately for some time. Hopefully It will be short or I´ll lose my job LOL!

Well I hope I spiced this up a bit for you all and we can get some racing going on soon.

Cheers

Hey Red, welcome back.

That was unexpected. Quite a loss for the community.

I love the GPL mod for AC!

New release from the folks at RSS.

So much new racing stuff to get into. Looking forward to racing again.
Thanks!

You´re welcome!

I think It´s great time for a comeback. In the gear scene you now have very compatible prices no matter what side you pick (belt, DD), and we have AC 2 coming up this year, Rennsport, and theirs the recent LeMans Ultimate that I know of. Aside from all the 3rd party developers which are In full gear as you can see. Theirs also a strong online racing community with the recent LMU and rF2 online racing system, and new Integration for AC on LFM (Low Fuel Motorsport).

Welcome back Tarnsman!

How to Install Content Manager, CSP and SOL...

Most likely there´s a newer version, just make sure you´re version SOL Is compatible with It as with other addons!

You all know what this means right...

Nice to receive confirmation that AC Evo is still on for a 2024 release!
