Assetto Corsa

Just stumbled across some car mods (sleepless night, huh:)) and a bit gobsmacked by how good they look. Dead easy to install/delete too - just drop/delete the mod-car folder into AC/content/cars.

Woooow:) Gran Tourismo, eat your heart out, at this rate we'll have all the car pr0n we could possibly want in one great sim:) (sorry for jaggies, I forgot to enable AC showroom in nvidia nspector)

Civic mod is my fave so far

E39 looks decent

I haven't fired up any sims for a month or so, but made a little time to try the 98T yesterday. It's a real handful, but one which makes you grin, not gnash your teeth in frustration... which is how so many of the more dangerous cars in iRacing have always made me feel.

Having said that, I haven't driven iRacing much recently and I ought to do in the short time left before my sub lapses. Based on some of the complaints in the forums this build, DK may have made the tyres a bit more satisfying to push on.

That's where AC immediately and obviously excels to me... you can push, feel the limit and just about get back under control before it's too late. It feels more naturally accurate even if, on paper, iRacing may have the more accurate maths. At least you'd hope so, with DK working on the tyre model full time.
 
I've also got an iracing sub few months ago but hardly played it, need to try it again and compare it again. The thing that is most impressive to me about iracing is the netcode, it is almost like driving over LAN. Physics is a tough call as I dont have many cars in iracing and I mostly the drove open diff Mazda, but its probably a draw for me (although both sims have different shortcomings).

Absolutely. iRacing is the place to go if online is your thing. It was never mine though; it was just the only modern sim for a few years, so I got caught up in it in a way I hadn't anticipated.

Now though there's choice, and although I enjoy the forums, the MMO style racing doesn't light my candle. It's a great time sink, but I have plenty of those to choose from.

I still have a few hundred dollars of credit left from the movie making competition in 2012, so I'll be back at some point, but I managed to wean myself off buying content I never use last year, and haven't raced for 18 months, so I think maybe this time I'm cured. :->

Especially when we have amazing projects like AC and rF2 to scratch the racing itch. Which reminds me, I didn't try the Shelby yet. However it's a bit warm, even at this time of night, to be firing up the heat generator in the corner of my desk. Maybe in September. :-)
 
That civic looks great. Does the mod include its own engine.ini?

I'd love to see some more old school and new era jap cars. Like the 89 honda crx vt and honda s2000.

These mods continue to amaze me!
 
Just drove all the mods above. Civic is the best of this bunch, M5 drives the worst. But even Civiic's physics fidelity is not up to the ingame FWD Fiat Abarth's level, but it's pleasant enough. Civic looks fantastic in replays too. Didnt like BMW much, it certainly does not represent stock M5, maybe some badly tuned drift concoction.

Now need to try the CObra and Ibiza mods :)

I have no idea what you've just asked :p
 
We will, once the devs will turn on damage modelling ;)



Weyland was right, Shelby Cobra is the best mod by far, looks superb and drives like an AC car should. Amazing experience!

Tried some of the mods listed. The e39 M5 was a massive disappointment. Bad sound an really physics, the revs drop near instantly when not in gear in a really odd way and it just feels plain wrong :( Shame!
Civic and the Cobra both seem nice though!
 
CObra though... what a car, what a car, what a jolly good car! :) Updated my previous post with some better pics. Keeping Civic as well, looks really nice (especially exterior) and drives ok. I'm keeping the Reliant Robin as well, even though its 3d is a bit shoddy, it is just hilarious to drive :D

Corvette is a race car which is not my cup of tea, but it does look good.

Two very good tracks are Blackwood (from Live for Speed) and Salzburgring. Its worth signing up to racedepartment or the official AC forum to find most mods.

BLackwood is such a classic! And the fact that it was authorised by the LFS owners to be put into AC is a great statement, passing of the torch like :) Great track, great modern remix of it in AC. Thanks again, weyland yutani!

Cobra is the golden standard for mod quality though, nothing else- cars or tracks- matches it so far :)
 
Exterior sounds on all cars im disapointed with. I hope fmod addresses that as they sound weak and almost generic. Also all cars appear to have the same horn. Did KS forget to record the horn sounds? :p

Borsch are you using sweetfx and super sampling? Those screenshots look mint!

I know fmod from Rise of FLight sim, it should sound really good (provided AC's sound engineer is of ROF caliber)...

Settings- no pure supersampling, no sweetfx. SGSSx2 in nspector, ingame 8x AA, 16x AF, colour saturation 71, Glare qual and DOF -normal, reflections medium, 6 face per frame. EDIT: oh and Post processing effect "preset 1" - these presets have made sweetfx redundant now I think.
