Must say, having played the new Series X version of ACC, I’m becoming obsessed with it. I see what people see in this now. God it’s good. It’s the spiritual successor to TOCA2 for me - just a brilliant game based on a championship that’s maybe a bit niche but all the better for it. I’m doing a career of championships starting with the first year (2017/18?) and eventually working through to the most recent stuff. Can’t wait to try the British GT too. It’s the frame rate that makes all the difference. I’m playing on a controller still, but some of my times have been become pretty decent on some tracks. It’s on another level to any other console racing sim I’ve played I think. But it’s taken me ages to realise that.

There is one on the net which seemed good... but it crashed my AC. See 'Racedepartment Melbourne 22'. At your own peril..

For the real nerds: I found out that in AC, with Content Manager, you can actually manually set up grids and handicap cars and drivers... 

 

See here: https://youtu.be/g3eHnZsMTzY

 

Hard to find, so good an option.

This should be posted to couple other threads too but there is a racing game bundle on Humble Bundle again.

If you haven't already, the 1970 F1 Car from RSS is a must buy car for Assetto Corsa. I love driving (with a shifter preferably) these! Such a joy! Together with a great selection of classic 50-60-70's era tracks, it's the best.

Regarding modding and Assetto Corsa. I don't feel too good about it. It is a Steam-only game. And i really don't think FOM&Codemasters will be happy to see another game showing F1 cars.

 

How wrong I was! :D

 

The only defence I have is that back then, FOM was on a spree, together with Ferrari. Shutting down anything that used their trademarks and could potentially earn money. Does anyone remember the start of the fall of BATRacer?

I'm a little bit annoyed I missed the Steam sale for ACC. I saw it was on sale, thought to myself "I must remember to get that whilst it's on sale!" and then promptly forgot about it. I'm thinking about getting back into sim racing again, I have a bonus coming up so I might put some aside to build a small setup. I don't have a great deal of space, so I'll have to be a little creative.

I did have an iRacing subscription for a year. I did two races (with a win in the second!) before my last wheel died and I didn't have the means to replace it, so that was a waste :lol:

Myrvold, I was on BATracer back then and I remember the fallout of the Ferra... er, Team Wales thing. I went back into my account and poked my head into the forums somewhat recently. Complete ghost town now. Shame Jules never really had the time/want to move the game with the times.

Be patient and keep eye on Humble Bundle, the driving game bunde resurfaces regularly. It will take a while since previous just ended but I'm sure it will came again and then you get much more than just ACC.

Acc is an acquired taste for me.  Basically it is a game where a lot of content has been completely forgotten about or lost, they only care about current cars and tracks and leave everything else which is a shame

 

If you love setups and can do them you will enjoy it, but for those who more want to click and race the defaults setups especially on older cars are completely broken resulting in poor lap-times.

 

there are also numerous exploits that seem to occur the same in any sim, but especially in ACC, you can either choose to use them and sort of cheat or try and be honest, but the result is always the same in some servers you will often guys much faster
