AC Assetto Corsa - General Discussion

me and about 6 trillion others have asked for aussie stuff that much that maybe they could at least make 1 aussie track lol anything but freaking bathurst im over that track we got alot of other great tracks out there.I might send them this track model with a grand to do it because thunder dome is giving me the s lol

Talk about your own back yard.....I live about 5 mins from Calder Park/Thunderdome.

With a northerly wind I can hear the cars on the weekends....

haha thats awesome i'm over in Maidstone try to get down calder as much as i can when the drifts are on good fun watching them
be even better fun if i had the cash to do it myself haha so instead i have to try and create it for ac but after too many attempts to mention i can never get the scenes filled.Grand stands walls so on haha but i always mange to get the track layout spot on lol

maybe im better off doing a conversion since i have no paitnce with this wireless mouse to add every little detail

Latest update for AC is out, check the change log below.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
The new version includes the most wanted Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: even if the release of the first Mercedes-Benz model licensed for Assetto Corsa was previously scheduled to be included in Assetto Corsa 1.0, we have decided to reward all our fans for the terrific support they gave us during this year, including this content in the current release.

Nurburgring Sprint Layout
The Sprint layout of Nurburgring GP circuit, ideal for quick races and events, is also available as free update. This version includes also some features under the hood that will allow our development team to test the overall compatibility with the aim to release a candidate beta version of Assetto Corsa within some weeks. More details will come soon

Hi guys,
I was playing around on AC earlier and thought I'd try connecting to the ROOZ server to see how it all works but it looks to be locked.
Reading up on AC there seems to be a booking system but I assume this is not available because the server has been locked??

Also, first impressions of the game is that it is quite different to GT (in a good way). The feel of the steering takes a bit of getting used to but certainly feels closer to reality - and as a result it is harder to push the cars hard like you can in GT.
Really enjoying it so far...though my low-end GPU isnt. I'm looking to get a GTX750Ti soon which should make a huge difference over the HD5570 I'm currently running.

I also installed the KaosDashboard which looks pretty good and is nice and easy to read. Its a pity you can't hide the "pins" on the apps you pin onscreen (or can you??).
I've also downloaded a few tracks to try them out which seem to be OK but I havent really played the game long enough to compare them to the proper AC tracks that have been laser-scanned.

Hey bud glad you're liking AC it is a fantastic game and an awesome challenge There is a password on the rooz server to lock the public out the password is ROOZAC1...I think haaha its in one of these forums snoopys nord is a must it's a fantastic track and also is what is assigned to the server,we will be all having a run wednesday 8:30 EST in the 312t if you want to jump in and see how your gpu goes and cut some laps and also if you have teamspeak set up you can here our lovely voices

Yeah there's a password mate, ROOZAC1
As far as booking goes I have it off so we can join anytime, the booking will be great for league events as you will have to book your place on the server within a designated time otherwise you cant join. Or at least I think that's how it works.

And the more you drive it, the more you'll want to drive it AC can get very addictive, especially when you find a car & track combo you click with.
TBH Dave I would look at the GTX760Ti 2G if it's affordable for you that is, you will get better bang for your buck, as the 750ti is only 128bit ram the 760Ti is 256bit. if the extra $100 it's not possible then a 750 will do, that's based on PC case gear prices SEE HERE!

Ive looked at the Kaos dash but never gave it a second thought, sounds cool I'll take a peek , and no mate I don't think you can remove the pins.
I find the Laser tracks nicer to run on, and more realistic in the way bumps feel through the wheel, it's not a major difference but the laser tracks do feel better to me
Hope to rub panels with ya soon mate

Cheers

Cheers for the replies guys.
I did try entering the ROOZAC1 password but it didn't seem to let me in (or I am doing something wrong).
Is there a specific button to press to enter once you have input the password?
I typed it in and pressed enter on the keyboard but it did nothing, so assumed perhaps it was because I didn't have a booking on the server.

I can certainly see how the game can become addictive. I was driving the MP12 last night and it was a blast. Getting the tail to oversteer around a few of the turns was great fun and I agree that the official tracks do seem nicer to drive on.

As for the GPU I would love to get the 760 but without building a new PC (which I can't do just yet) I am limited to what will work with the factory Compaq I have.

Best bang for buck is the GTX 750 Ti SC which doesn't require a 6pin and will work with a 300W PSU (my two limiting factors - short of swapping out the PSU for a decent one), but by the time I do that and then get a better GPU I might as well build an entirely new PC.

For now the 750 should do the trick.

I've had AC for months now, and absolutely love it! Anyone know if the Porsche GT3 mod is still available? I heard it got taken down??

For anyone who want's to know, my Steam is Randm90 and basically only play Assetto, so feel free to add!

@DoogleDave, yeah mate you need to click on the JOIN button which is on the right hand side of the server GUI. We'll be on tomorrow night for the final Nords Challenge event, although I will be on tonight doing some laps, so if you want to have a try at joining the server I'll be on from about 6pm Perth time.

Cheers

Hiya Randm90, maybe you would like to join us for some AC races, nothing serious just having some fun
If it's the same Porsche mod I'm thinking of, (997 GT3 RSR) that was removed from RD, it's vanished from the net. But I have a copy, which I will put up via MegaCo, when I can get some decent upload bandwidth that is . Will post a link soon as it's up.

LINK: Porsche 997 GT3 rsr

Cheers

Thanks heaps man! Will do, I'll be sure to join the lobby every now and then That's the mod I was thinking of! Do you by any chance have the 458 GT3 mod too??
'Thanks

@Randm90
Posted the Porsche link in the previous post mate
Don't have the 458 GT3 sorry, I'll have a hunt for it, might get lucky
We'll be doing some random events on Mondays and Wednesdays as of next week, if ya wanna join in mate feel free.

Cheers

Alrighty, sweet thanks mate! I'll probably join in, I play most nights at 4:30PMish AEST and if i'm not on PS3, from 7:00PM AEST so I'll join in if the lobby is up

Server is 24/7 and as Koastr posted, all the server details are in the OP mate
Look forward to running some laps with ya soon

Cheers

I figured out why it wouldnt work.
