Number keys 1,2,3...0 for turbo boost settings.
Edit; oops, I've missed it, it's there already.


And if someone could tell me how to fuck the ghost car off for good, I'd be a happy man...
Surprise, no sig. Now there is. Or is there?

I'd like it if they'd make it so you could bind a couple of buttons so you could increase and decrease boost

That would be easier, but maybe it's intentional? Could old cars up the pressure dynamically? Perhaps they wanna stop people increasing and decreasing it for different parts of a lap.

I guess you could do that anyway, you can run small applets that let you map keyboard keystrokes to controller buttons.

My tip would be regarding optimal settings. Mainly, don't crank up shadows and reflection settings on the cars too much, they are BIG fps killers. If you're looking to improve performance, start there.

The ghost car setting is in the sessions settings. It's the same page & works just like the penalties setting. ;)

Another fps killer is smoke in mirrors, turn it off if you need to.

I've mapped turbo boost key strokes in a key mapper & also in Logitech profiler depending what buttons I wanted it to use.

People were changing boost in the Ruf last night during a lap.

I was running 50% and lap 1 a couple of HOONS running 100% flew past me. Then crashed! LOL

also back before they banned it they could even change engine settings from the pit lane. Now telemetry is only allowed from car to pit.

In your steamapps folder

Steam>SteamApps>common>assettocorsa>content

Then either place it in the tracks or cars folders.

Depends what type of mod you're installing. Start by going to your Steam library folder where Assetto Corsa is installed then;
For cars goto your assettocorsa/content/cars folder.
For skins goto your assettocorsa/content/cars/car(i.e.bmw_1m)/skin folder.
For tracks goto your assettocorsa/content/tracks folder.
For apps iirc goto your assettocorsa/apps/python folder.

we might also add, that setups go to myDocuments, NOT the steam directory
(all the above are!)
Setups
C:\Users\[user]\Documents\Assetto Corsa\setups\[carname]\[track-or-generic]\[setupfile].ini

eg
c:\Users\Ysu\Documents\Assetto Corsa\setups\lotus_49\generic\ysu_setup.ini

One of AC's best features is its accurate wheel forces and nuances (iRacing sucks!). FFB clipping can be an issue if it is left at 100% in the car setup, it numbs the feedback in certain situations, e.g. high downforce cars loading up properly at high speed or when turning in on the limit of grip.

It is good practice to make testing for FFB clipping part of your setup process. It helps convey realism when you really need it in my opinion.

*I only worked this out recently with the help of Duke, I was complaining about the 787B not loading up right :tilt:

We have just worked out that at least some if not all of the cars actually have an inverted toe value in the live window (on the right side of the setup screen). Looking at the live toe on the rear you seem to get more stability with a negative value when it should be positive that gives stability. And just to make it worse the default setups all have a positive value which is consistent with how it should be IRL but in the game this is giving toe out on the rear. I think this might have changed with an update and has not yet been noticed, I hadn't noticed it until we ran an open wheeler last week which is very sensitive to toe settings. I have verified it today with Duke in the Lotus Exige V6 Cup and the Oreca mod car.

"Positive toe, or toe in, is the front of the wheel pointing in towards the centreline of the vehicle. Negative toe, or toe out, is the front of the wheel pointing away from the centreline of the vehicle."

"Toe-in makes the tires want to push inward, which acts to improve straight line stability of the car as it’s traveling down the road, particularly at high speed (highway).

Toe-out makes the tires want to separate from each other. This improves “turn-in” response considerably but again, at the cost of tire wear. Running toe-out in the rear is generally not recommended since it will make the car want to pivot (oversteer) at all steering angles, but in the right setup it can help (auto-x / technical tracks)."

So, run a negative live value for stability and a positive value for oversteer :aussie:

In the benchmark and replays I have red triangle or square below drivers names. What is this? And can I get rid of it? Didn't notice it in the race the other day, but I think I recall yellow triangles

It looks like the new update allows you to cycle through turbo boost with the one key now :)
