AC Assetto Corsa - General Discussion

Hi guys,

Just a quick heads up for you Assetto Corsa boyz

My league SRA now have a dedicated server up and running...

We are staging some load tests tonight and tomorrow night if anyone's keen to come along for some fun and to assist us load the server up and make the online net code sweat just too see how it handles the stress...

Look for us in the server lobby - www.simracingoz.com Server will be locked, Password is Rev.It
Oh yeah and our TS IP is 27.131.77.92 with the same password above

So guys, the races for these next two nights will be 20 lap affairs at Silverstone National and 15 lappers @ the Nurburgring GP layout...

Cars will be BMW Z4 GT3 and the McLaren MP412c GT3, nice and competitive on times to make for great racing!!
Hope to see a few of you guys join the fun to help us test the server and the MP netcode!!

Shags.

Played some AC again today after a month and a bit. Haven't had a chance to try out MP yet, but wow the Ferrari 312T is addictive!

Hey fellas new bloke to ac my steam I'd is Tovey_4saken look forward to meeting and racing

finally!! finished building my new PC and got a taste of AC proper. the vids out there don't really do the model fidelity justice. i'm surprised at how 'planted' the cars look on track too. the physics seem to be awesome and the grip model is convincing enough. i've got the graphics at a middling level and it's screaming on the R9 290X I just bought. time to start fiddling the graphics upwards to see how pretty/playable it can get. it's gonna be a hoot playing this in multiplayer. hope I see you guys out there soon. steam id: tedoki

Hi guys, didn't realise it had been so long since I was last here been flatout, and life keeps getting in the way, but still no excuse really
Anyway, great to see so many getting into AC, sounds like a nice rig hairybear, don't think you will have any issues running AC at maxed graphics, if you're interested to see how other simmers have set up their graphics there's a dedicated thread to it @ RD

Not sure if you guys were aware, but you will also find a string of add-on tracks, sound mods and tweaking info for AC @ RD, seems the community has gone nuts with track conversions, there's a Bathurst too, Some of them are extremely good, one that comes to mind straight off is the Nordshlieffe, there's 2 version out ATM but Nobby's v0.93 is the better of the 2 IMO. Hence Kunos released the track Dev Kit to try and get the community to dev scratch tracks. If anyone here is that way inclined you can download the track dev kit from the tools section on steam.
So now that I have some time to myself again is anyone interested in gettin together for a few AC events in the not to distant future?

Cheers

Sweet mate, I'll have most evenings available as of tomorrow night and all through to late next week, (unless the boss has other plans of course ) as far as time slot goes, whatever suites you mate. I'm not to fussed but it would be cool to get as many on as possible, make it oodles more fun, so if anyone else feels compelled to join in GT3 cars @ Bathurst sounds like some fun or Zonda R @ Nords, plenty of options to choose from. So anyone else keen??

Sounds good Anon, maybe start a regular event one night during the week, if peeps are keen that is.

is there a particular server the ROOZ crew congregate on for AC?

So who's keen?
Also, what do we want to race, and where is the next question. I'm kinda happy to run on mod tracks,
but the defaults are all laser which feel better to drive on.

2x15laps M3-GT2 default setups @ Nurburgring is my nomination

Welcome back Koaster, heres the link you requested http://www.racedepartment.com/resources/n%C3%BCrburgring-nordschleife.2270/

Heres a link to the track database use this to find the Oz tracks, Bathurst, Oran Pk, Sandown, Phillip Island and Melbourne GP.

Seems there's new converted tracks being released every other day now, but with the car modeling tools being released in V0.20 I'm expecting a stream of mods to come out in the next few months, here's one Ive been keeping an eye on
http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/tudor-united-sportscar-championship-mod.82411/

Here's another mod I'm watching on RD it's F1 2014 & GP2 mods, these things look stunning already.

AC is gonna be the ducks nuts once these mod teams get there heads around the dev tools, the future of Simracing is looking brighter than ever for us virtual revheads

Hmmm, Simracingoz server eh!! Phill and I parted company, we had a falling out so to speak. I'm not registered with them, so hopefully this wont stop me getting on there server for some fun AC races.

P.S. Just checked the link for SRA's server, shouldn't be an issue for me unless the p/w has changed.

thanks I've been a bit lazy with the teamspeak thing. I bought an interim headset when the last one died, but I hate having the new thing's cord strung across the lounge room lol. getting a new wireless jobby this pay I hope. where'd you guys get the Nord track. I could only find the Snoopy version, or are we talking about the same one? I just tried this, after a few installs lol, in the Bimmer GT and i can safely say it was the most f*&king insane 5 minutes I've spent in a sim outside of iRacing.
It looks like there's some rally stuff coming down mod wise in AC soon too. i'm super happy with how AC is turning out.
now if they can just fix the world's worst AI...and the mule FFB

edit: gonna be tinkering with AC for the remainder of the week. might catch you guys out there while i'm trying to get the most of the new Hyperdrive rig before heading back to work.

@hairybear you got the right Nords m8, and I agree, it's fecking amazing track.
Kunos knows the AI suck, plenty of simmers feel the same about it so we can only hope they get them sorted before to much longer, as far as FFB goes, I find AC FFB a little flat but I have my CSW settings up fairly high as I like my FFB STRONG, Maybe tinker with your FFB settings in AC, if that gets you know where try the following link, there's AC FFB settings for every wheel known to man, lol.
