Assetto Corsa OcUK TT Challenge! *Season 3*

I'd like to think the spirit of this is about helping others improve as well as showing off your speed. So yeah, I think it'd be great if people could download replays to see how the quick guys get around.

It's kind of why I post lap videos here and there with onscreen pedal input info. I don't just do it to show off :D

Obviously, watching and replicating are two different things, but it can help a lot to see that it's possible to push way harder in certain sections than you might have thought.
 
They'll both just save the last session in whatever length and quality you've set it to, rather than just the fast lap :)
For example: High quality and max filesize will save the first two hours (or the last.. Been a while since I had it activated), Ultra quality can save up to an hour.

I find it easier to just record footage live, once I've got up to speed and then just edit the quick lap.
Another, and perhaps easier way would be to record the lap from a saved replay. No editing required.

I use paid recording software, but anyone could use Afterburner/OBS etc.

As for controlling the game in VR, I just have my kb/m next to me on a footstool, as I'm just using a wheelstand and an Ikea chair lol.
Maybe see if you can get your hands on a relatively cheap wireless keyboard/trackpad thing, or run a long USB cable? I dunno :D
 
Easier for the sharer, yes.
For the watcher, maybe not, as you'd have to sift/skip through the whole thing.

Yeah, you can watch anyone's replay.
The size of the file will depend on the quality settings you've chosen and how long the session was.
Either way, they'll obviously be drastically less than a video.
 
Yeah, whatever works for you.
However, saving and uploading a video is pretty simple.

All that needs to be done is find the lap in the replay and hit record and stop when it's done. Upload to youtube and post a link.

Personally, I just happen to choose a slightly more awkward way of doing it :)
 
Sorry, no. If it was possible to independently disable body/crash related damage, then I would for situations like that.
However, turning off damage altogether means that you don't get penalised for locking up tyres or making dodgy gear shifts etc.

I know it can be annoying in certain cars like the Jordan, but it's something you need to learn to work around just like the guys at the top of the board have :)

It can also give you a dodgy representation of the car, just like the Williams FW14 we used in round 24, when I'd accidentally left damage off after the previous week at Nordschliefe.
The below lap wouldn't have been possible if damage was on, as I'd have blown up the engine with some of those downshifts.
Sure, it was definitely easier to drive, but it's a false representation of the car.

 
A very tricky combo last week... Respect for putting in all those laps and not moaning about it too much :D

Round 8 - Imola results:

Jordan 191 - Fireblade2K4 - 1:23.616
Porsche 962C - SPARC - 1:40.077
Porsche 911 GT3 R - Fireblade2K4 - 1:44.274

Impressive work, chaps.
​

This week's challenge:

Sepang - Malaysian GP >>DOWNLOAD<<
McLaren MP4-20 >>DOWNLOAD<<
Porsche 919
Corvette C7R

These should be a lot easier to drive, but the track may or may not give a **** about that. #challengeaccepted​

As above, I keep it pretty simple. Maybe make a couple of camber changes or something. Nothing crazy.
I get where lokiss is coming from, but I don't think anyone here is an expert at car setups. I'm certainly not :D

ACC is nice in that it has a few presets to use, but you'll find that you'd still have to make custom setup tweaks if you were doing a similar thing to this, where you're trading tenths or fractions for the top spot. No sim racing game is different in that regard.

ACC is also way more of a complex pain in the arse to tweak setups with IMO. I feel like I need a motorsport engineering degree when I'm looking at the options for even some of the simpler things.

EDIT:
I'd love it to be a straight competition where it's purely about driver vs driver on a completely level playing field using fixed or stock setups (which can be done), but that introduces it's own problems because that setup will suit some more than others due to their driving style.
It's the same when we share our own setups on here.

On another note, if any of you are voyeurs like me and like to watch people going around the live track map on the leaderboard, it's not working on this one for some reason.
AFAIK, all the correct stuff is there and uploaded, but we have nothing. Oh well.
 
Yep, just use the onboard settings app to give you a better view.

Personally, I like to set it so that the position of the virtual hands match my real hands.
