Assetto Corsa OcUK TT Challenge! Season 3

Hard to see from the TV cameras, but it looks to me at quite a few points you're not using as much of the track as you should for corners which will be killing your speed and why you're not hitting the apex's.

Yadda · 1 Nov 2018 at 09:36

Yes, still a lot to do (that was my first proper session with it), but I'm getting there.

This thing has so much more grip than any other F1 sim I've tried (it's been a while, the last decent one I played was GP4 I think) that I'm still feeling for the limit.

Uncle Petey · 1 Nov 2018 at 18:06

I was having fun doing some laps earlier and figured I might as well make a vid while I was there.

Still got another half a second if I can string my sectors together properly.

I believe the setup was:

Final drive: One click to the right
Aero: 19/5
Fuel: 18L

Just realised I had my recording quality set to normal instead of ultra... That explains that then :rolleyes:

Yadda · 1 Nov 2018 at 18:22

Nice one, Petey. My next move was going to be more front wing, for S2. Cheers.

I'm all out of ideas @Uncle Petey sorry. I can't get AC to work since the oculus update. I have no issues in any other game except AC. I'm gutted but for some reason AC has always been a problem for me like this, love playing it, but it's so temperamental. I know it's an Oculus Update issue, but the fact it has only affected AC means Kunos need to look at this and fix it. ACC isn't ready yet they need to continue to support AC and I'm not alone. I was really starting to enjoy AC again, but I've exhausted every option I can find to fix it. I'll be back if it ever gets fixed or if you swap to something else.

Uncle Petey · 2 Nov 2018 at 21:45

Gutted for you mate... Have you tried asking on the AC forum?

Yep, the only response so far is, it's ok for most people so it must be something in your hardware. I've done everything except reinstall my OS, that will be such a ball ache.

Uncle Petey · 3 Nov 2018 at 00:03

I hear that. I had to do it myself recently after I noticed I was getting about half the rightful performance in AC - and ONLY AC :mad:

Still, at least it ran...

Born2BSlow · 3 Nov 2018 at 11:36

Thank **** I've found a workaround... I have to make sure oculus home is up and running, then I start Steam VR manually and finally fire up AC from inside SteamVR... I mean come on just clicking one icon on a desktop is so last year :0

Born2BSlow · 4 Nov 2018 at 15:11

Finally managed to set some times at last...feels good to get back to it.

Yadda · 4 Nov 2018 at 20:57

Nice one B2BS, good to see others getting involved.

Yes, I know I still haven't posted a time - give a newbie a break, lol.

I've just had another offline practice and nipped into the 1:49's for the first time. Was late on the throttle in the first chicane though (nearly lost the back, just about caught it) and I was too cautious onto the last straight but still, it's an improvement of sorts.

Here it is, onboard cam this time.

Yadda · 5 Nov 2018 at 17:19

Great times, all.

I managed to nip onto the server for a short session before it changes and managed to shave a bit off the above time. A new PB of 1:48.7.

What a fantastic motor and circuit. I had great fun and could easily do them for another week.

Has anyone used one of these? I'm not expecting it to be comparable to a wheel stand pro but for just a casual racer I'm hoping it would be ok?

Uncle Petey · 5 Nov 2018 at 20:25

Congrats to @Paddyqwerty1 and @Born2BSlow on his triumphant return

Well done to @Yadda for finally getting on the server

Brace yourself for a culture shock on this one!

This week, we're going on a little blast to the past, because who needs grippy turn in and reasonable braking distances when you have oldskool drifting and the fear of imminent fiery death on every corner?

Round 22 - Bridgehampton >>DOWNLOAD<<

Porsche 962c Short Tail
Ferrari 312PB >>DOWNLOAD<<
Lotus Type 49
Shelby Cobra 427 S/C

I put the Cobra in there for the hardcore nutters.
@PinkFloyd it's your time

Reviews seem mostly ok. Might as well take a chance.

I'll see what I can do, I've been super busy recently but will try and get some laps in!

Yadda · 5 Nov 2018 at 20:31

Haha, cheers Petey.

Ooo, slidey cars. Marvellous.

Uncle Petey · 5 Nov 2018 at 20:39

The Porsche and Ferrari are fairly planted, so it's not so bad.

Oh, and the Ferrari 312PB (1972 Can-Am) is from the AC Legends Protoype pack that you can find HERE
There's also a GT Classics pack HERE if that's your bag.

I didn't want to make you download an entire pack just to use the 312PB, so I uploaded it separately.

Here's a nicely made review of the Prototype pack:

Yadda · 5 Nov 2018 at 21:23

Just noticed this week's circuit. Bridge-who-mpton? :confused:

This should be interesting.

Edit:
Blimey, in standard setup the Cobra's a nightmare. Understeer, oversteer (wombling free...) - where do you start?

Until you reach hardcore nutter status, you start with a different car
