Xb1 controller was causing the problem. It's not compatible yet. Now reverted back to the 360 and it's working fine. The post processing effects are lovely. The tracks still need more character and atmosphere though compared to how project cars does things but we're slowly getting there. However if it doesn't happen I'm still more than happy with the physics and general looks /performance / mod support / content of the game.

I had this problem today. Only happened after I plugged the XB1 controller into a USB 3 port. Moved it back to to the previous USB 2 port and no problems since.

That's strange.http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/xbox-one-contoller-support.10934/

Did you plug it into your motherboard 's port? I had it in the cases USB 2 port.

edit - so I plugged it into the motherboard's usb port and it works. How odd. But mine only works in USB 3.0 not USB 2.0. Are you 100% sure yours doesn't work with USB 3.0?

The new lotus is lots of fun, tried with just 10% turbo boost to get used to it and though it was ok, switched to 100% and it just goes insane :) brilliant
 
Building a couple of dashboard panels for the R-Pod using a hacked DSD button box and 4 Neutrik USB terminals. Real carbon fibre has been used. Almost done with the wiring, only a couple of toggles left to do.

Left panel:



Right panel:



Updated Edit:

Really pleased with how this has turned out.

Just need to wait for some retaining blocks to set to allow me to fit the last screw in each of the panels. Also need to epoxy the blanking plate on underneath the wheel base.

Not sure what the issue is - haven't had an issue using the controller on that particular USB3 port with any other games. Very weird. :confused:
 
Thanks Matson. You are absolutely correct. It is a crime and I will repent by updating it with triples (when funds allow :( ). The more I use it, the more I realise how much 3 screens would improve the experience.

I know the feeling...Why I don't have a cockpit like yours at the moment im only running a single 24 inch 144hz screen and I mostly play racing games since I got my wheel so definatly want to change that.
It was either a choice between a triple screen setup or an Ultra wide 34 inch screen.
While the triple screen will be wider I don't really have the room for it and with the ultra wide screen you wont have the bezels so im probably going for that. The only downside is the price at the moment. The LG is about £800 but with AOC and Dell 34 inch ultra wide screens coming out shortly im hoping there not as expensive since you could get 4 monitors for the same price lol.
It does make a huge difference though to the immersion as I just threw 2 more rubbish monitors next to my main one to test it and it was so much more fun.

Also need some new speakers but don't know what to get. Im just using some cheap 2.1 Logitech speakers at the moment but sound is just as important for immersion so hoping to upgrade but cant decide to what. Id probably go 2.1 again but just need much better quality ones.
 
Wow what a difference an update can make.

It looks as though the bugs I was experiencing have gone away and I can now run the game at 60 FPS again with 24 cars on track with the majority of the graphics set to their fullest.

It ran fine since I bought it a while ago, but the last few updates it gradually started to slow down.

Those were the reasons I went for an ultrawide initially although mine is only a 29 inch. It is a good compromise (asides from the price) if space is a concern. However, since I've come this far with the rig I'm going to go triples and design a stand which will allow one of the monitors to be easily swung out of the way. Weight will be an issue so 27 inch screens will be the absolute maximum (23 is more likely).

I agree sound is really important; I find headphones are great for driving and it means I don't disturb anyone else in the house.
 
With that whole car-centric set-up, how do you handle other use of the computer?

Do you have a computer which is for driving and nothing else? Or some kind of switch set-up to move monitor output and input devices between that and a desk based setup?

I have a switch setup. I've written three scripts; one for the desktop, one for the rig and another for my arcade machine. It switches the display, changes the default audio device and wallpaper. For the arcade machine, it automatically starts up a front end as well. I have 3 icons on the task bar and simply click one of them to activate. They are batch files converted to executables using the battoexe tool. It works well and there's no messing around - one click and it's done!

What soundcard do you use? If using headphones and Bass shakers simultaneously.
 
I have onboard sound, wireless USB headphones (G930) and an Asus Xonar.

For powering the transducers, I use Simvibe software which uses a separate sound output to the default one used for audio; I use the onboard sound for that which means I can run either my headphones or audio through the Xonar (I always use headphones though).

If you haven't used it, Simvibe is excellent software and allows you to feel a lot of effects - not just interpreted low frequency. Unfortunately, given the recent changes in AC, only a couple of effects are working right now - this should be fixed soon though.
