What I'd really like to do is have just the two of us, with the rest of a racing field made up of bots.

Is that possible?

Within the game, I only see options to join an existing server, or to play on LAN - no remote, private, multiplayer option.

I found this thread:
https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?faq/dedicated-server-manual.28/

But to be honest, it's all beyond me! Is it as simple as running acserver on my computer and running ac itself at the same time? Then providing my mate with the details to join?
 
Cheers. I've been playing about and found you're exactly right - I can successfully get a server running, and I can at least join it myself (haven't tried with the friend yet). But can't see any way to get AI cars running. That's a shame. Only two of us on a track is a bit empty!

Are there any similar games anyone knows of which do allow AI cars in this setting?
 
Yeah, I've played PC2 in this setup very successfully a few times now.

I wonder if there's a setting (I can't find it!) to allow us to put all the player cars at the back of the grid though? The ideal would be to set the NPC cars a little slower than us, and try to fight our way through them to the front.

At the moment, if we don't have a qualifying session, it's just purely random.

Even so, had some great fun. Tried the Zakspeed Capri's at Brand's Hatch which were hilariously twitchy. And not even just in to and out of corners. Every gear change you have to be ready to catch some oversteer. Fastest way through Paddock seemed to be to already be sideways as you reached the bend.

Driving these games in VR and with a steering wheel set-up is something else.

I dont think there is a setting for that. Everytime I have played with my friends it has been either qualifying or random grid position. You could add qualifying and just not do a qualifying run, that way the players will be at the back of the grid. Setup like a 5 min qualifying session so you dont waste too much time just sitting around :D.

Yeah, that's what we thought of too. I even wondered about making the qualification so short we couldn't - but then I guess it wouldn't count the AI cars as having done so either.

In single player just moved on to the Group A touring cars. The Merc 190E on a wet Hockenheim was great fun too.
