Assetto Corsa OcUK TT Challenge! *Season 3*

[PinkFloyd]

Is everyone else running 100% boost on the TT Supra?

I initially did 90% boost as I could see that 100% was damaging the engine, but on closer inspection it doesn't look to do a lot of damage - just some strain on the gearbox? I've not really looked close enough to see what implication it has on the performance - but I would imagine that even in a worse case scenario the extra power would make up for a bit of damage for a short session.
I think doing your outlap/warm up laps at 90% and then bumping it up for your hot laps is probably the way to go with it!

Well, Mr Floyd... Your car choices have indeed challenged me. I'm a complete fish out of water with those things.

And that GT500 is ridiculous. It Corners like a train designed by Adrian Newey.
Never trust RD reviewers...

There's also something dodgy with the timing on that track. Delta doesn't work and it's not giving graph info on the tracker.
Again, my fault for not properly testing. Normal service will be resumed next week.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Glad my car choice is keeping you challenged here

I'll skip the gt500 then, doesn't sound like I'd enjoy it. I found the delta thing a little annoying, but have lived with it. I only discovered the delta time feature last week so used to not having it anyway!

 

[Uncle Petey]

I think you set me up! Should I be wearing studded leather and a ball gag when driving them?

I've dropped a note about the timing thing to the AC reboot guys FWIW.

 

[PinkFloyd]

I'll start thinking of the next combo of cars that you downforce lovers will dislike for when you are next short on ideas

Thinking about it, did try a downforce heavy car at the weekend that I did really enjoy as something different. The Porsche 919 Hybrid. Hated it on a 2d screen due to the visibility, but in VR it feels much better as you can look around to see out of it! Goes like a missile but doesn't feel as fidgety as some other modern race cars. Would definitely be up for that one week

 

[Uncle Petey]

Was gonna do an '04/'05 F1 next week, but why not? The 919's awesome and we haven't done it yet for some reason.
As for the low grip, low downforce, crappy brake road car stuff... I keep bleating on about this being a good way to expand skillsets, so I really should practice what I preach and put more time in

Glad you're getting on better with VR

 

[PinkFloyd]

Why not both? F1 car on track at the same time as the 919 could awesome - on the right track they could be really close in overall laptime with time made up in completely different areas!

 

[Uncle Petey]

Now you're just spoiling me I shall make it so.

 

[golfnut]

every time!

more problems placing car files, where do I put the gt 500 + update files?

sorry makes me feel a right pain.

every time!

sorry makes me feel a right pain.

Go to <your Steam directory>\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\content and paste the cars folder in there. Should be the same process for the main files and the update.

 

[golfnut]

Cheers Paddy,

I’ll have a pop tomorrow, put them in the car files! Didn’t work, tracks always fine, does my nut in sometimes!

 

[Uncle Petey]

As Paddy says, it should be the same procedure as installing the cars. You just overwrite the existing files.
Honestly, I'd delete them as soon as you're done driving it. The car is dumb anyway, plus they take up 1.5GB...

 

[Born2BSlow]

Not going to bother with the GT500, having too much fun in the 787B, an F1 car would have been awesome on Suzuka, the road cars feel a bit lost and frustrating tbh...definitely need downfarce to get the best out of it.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Yeah, 919 and an F1 would've been very cool here... We did do the 643 on here last time though (I know it was ages ago) and that was quality.

I think the road cars would've been better suited to the East or West layouts.

 

[golfnut]

ffs! Opened with Winzip saved to desktop copied & paste to content in AC folder.... still nowt.. had enough now!

 

[MoodyB]

What isn't working?

 

[golfnut]

Toyota shows red (content missing) in ocuk server.

 

[Born2BSlow]

have you got content manager golfnut, i had similar issues until Petey recommended it, trouble free since then...

 

[MoodyB]

Toyota shows red (content missing) in ocuk server.

Did you download the extra update file for the Toyota? it's on the race department page as a download link under the main one.

 

[golfnut]

Just installed 2 new ssd’s and reinstalled Windows, Old Hdd’s sat on desk, forgot about content manager. Only had the free version, will that matter?
