I put in a couple laps then hit the auto button on the black box. It’s also important to change your horizon setting because iRacing sets it as if your head is always at a 45 degree position looking down.

Perhaps you don't know about it, but you ignored stating the relation that the "Intensity" setting plays when using the F9 / Graphics Adjustment [auto] options. - iRacing sets this Intensity at 50% by default, but I see users change this all the time when they get in the sim, trying to make changes to FFB. The problem is that it is totally unused until and only when using the [auto] option. - At 50% Intensity, the [auto] option will set the peak FFB so the dynamic range is 50% of the "Wheel force" setting that is usually set to match the peak allowed by the wheelbase. So this will give a FFB force setting around the middle of your wheelbase capability overall. - In the old days of super low FFB (below 5nm), this Intensity was actually 100% since we had weak power wheels. They changed the default some time ago as stronger DD became more common, since the lower values are the safer ones. - People can tweak the Intensity value up or down to suit their preferences, especially if they frequently dial up/down the values from the [auto] button. - Additionally, you didn't mention one basic goal of the [auto] function is to employ a full dynamic range of FFB (within the Intensity & Wheel force limits) such that it applies higher forces while avoiding clipping. That is within the context of the lap driven and the forces experienced in the car up to the point of hitting [auto]. So things like hitting curbs, walls or anything that exceeds the loads of the pre-auto selection may exceed the clipping point of the wheelbase. This is usually considered fine, even good since the goal of this tool is to give the most force for a given variable set without losing clarity via clipping.

This looks carnage lol ive lost track after second instruction 😂

(! - I love Gran Turismo; I hate Assetto Corsa. Period. - !)

The Mcclaren c-12 or whatever its called is a complete piece of garbage. THey made that car so bad in AC. Understeering so bad i cant even progress any further on the game.

Hi Lewis I'll definitely jump on this what car should I use lol I have a pull towards the nova the mini in vr will probably be too bumpy at kenya 😅

How about making it playable on controller

I get the feeling that the tyre model is going to be the only big thing coming for AC2. It would be nice if you could import mod's into AC2. The cars at least, I the track's might to complicated to port over, unless someone creates something to do it.

'Promo SM' 💖

Appreciate the info🙏🏾. How do I turn off auto ffbo in the iracing menu? It's grayed out and won't allow me to uncheck😟

I just want awesome physics and graphics with ok performance along with an easy-to-use but moddable platform. The more real it feels the better. Haven't driven real race cars, believable is a word I like to use when describing realism.

A very interesting point

Great video, nice take on Sim racing

There's no wonder I'm last on this one, I kept getting lost and going the wrong way, also with some penalties thrown in there too - wasn't good 😂 All good fun though. I might practice next time and try the cars out, as I just jump in and go normally. We'll see, if I have time etc. Need to get Rob in on this too. Take it easy bud, speak soon

Thanks for making this - great video mate. My opinion is exactly the same tbh, to make a good sim you must have experience from people that have driven the cars, but equally important variation of data to accompany it. This is why I have multiple sims installed and each have their own quirks, it's just slight variations on how the data and experience have been combined and used.

I remember in the past when people made mods and had professional drivers back up, these said professional drivers would take the car for a spin and immediately says "oh yeah! that's just like the real one!" when they're just talking about the acceleration, braking and basic cornering of said car... and when other people took the car for a spin, let's say passionate people, they saw that the lap times were completely wrong... thanks, but when I want a backup of a pro driver, I want to have what they actually experienced IN said car. not if the car approximately drives like the real one. the small details that actually matter in the behavior of said car. sadly, that's often forgotten. so yeah, can't even trust pro drivers most of the time

Knockhill is a great track for the slower cars. Plus, slower cars = better racing. It's a fact, don't @ me.

Blimey I forgot about this month's

no

Well done, first person that I have seen advertise this. Thanks

Hello mate. May I request a throwback to the 90s mate. Your old local cadwell Park. Maybe a 90s touring car of some sort.

Great car and track if you ask me, think you're not worthy

Graphics always amaze me in this. Great video!

When standing in the pit you can hear the cars going round the track and gues where they are Thats pretty cool

So true. It’s even more amazong qith hometheatre and 2 sub 😁😉

Don't like the sounds of ACC. Prefer raceroom and LMU is also not bad.

This is a very valid point actually. I've been worried because we have so many great mods in AC, but if they give us a slightly better physics engine, modern graphics and modding support (as you said) ultimately modders will jump ship as well. Well I hope AC2 will be a success, as AC1 has been one of my favorite free-time passer for the past couple of years. Great vid!

i am just hoping i can convert my AC1 mods to AC2 because if i can’t my 150 GB of mods will be exclusive to an outdated game

I want better tire models asseto corsa under steer is crazy and if you gas with a high up car you spin out

ACC is still a simulation/game, not real. The sounds are there to represent what is happening to the car. You don't get G-forces in a simulator, so some things are exaggerated to an extent to fill in the missing parts of the feeling of driving a real race car. It's a design choice, and pretty good in my opinion. Some more detail could be added still like per car sounds of course, but in my view the sounds don't have to be 1:1 compared to reality, as long as they're meaningful to the gameplay and feeling.

I play sims without sound it gains a lot of performance.

Here's my ranking according to my ears. 🙂 1. Assetto Corsa Competizione 2. Le Mans Ultimate 3. iRacing 4. Raceroom 5. Automobilista 2 6. Assetto Corsa (RSR 2017)

I love ACC (and AC of course) but all the metallic, scraping etc sounds in ACC are a tad annoying in my opinion. I understand they add to the immersion, and yes ACC is one of the most intense racing games I have ever played. Still they make you feel like you're driving a tank. Next week we're getting the Nordschleife, I cannot even start to imagine the noises :D

Okay so here's a take people wont like, while ACC's ambient sounds like the scraping, floor hitting the ground, kerbs, pebbles etc are supreme, the engine and ESPECIALLY the transmission sounds are inaccurate to their real life counterparts, its absolutely shameless to see a 992 GT3 CUP reuse the sound from the 991.2 GT3R, the 992 GT3R is nowhere near close to the real life onboards (i have high quality audio recordings of the 992 GT3R), the transmission sounds in ACC are recycled between all cars and dont include the specifics of each car, ex - gear 3,4,6 of porsche, the distinct 4th lamborghini whine and the aston's gearbox sounds very very different, try following RSS's work and Corsamode (AC Sound modder), they genuinely reproduce sounds close to reality, I have a series on YT which compares ACC vs AC vs IRL although those videos are outdated since there are more accurate sounding AC engine sounds which I havent included.

Dirt rally 2 does a decent job at this if i remember correctly

Le mans ultimate is new audio king.

I literally started to play this game because the audio was eargasmic.

Thankfully this is a sound only comparison, the driving is a right turn off 😉

There is one absolutely extremely rare instance where this occurs in Assetto Corsa and that's the Citroen C15 mod. The guy actually went absolutely insane on the sound design of it and you can hear _everything_ in that car. The suspension squeaking, the movement of the vehicle, little stones, it's almost as good as ACC and it's a free car mod for AC. It's _wild_ what he did with the game.

ACC by far, AC with some mods can come close, but it is when the modder try to replicate ACC level of quality. Runner up for me is LMU, which is getting there, might have to see what full release sounds like.

I remember Morad in one of his streams saying ACC's sounds is too exaggerated as compared to real life (I guess because of the helmet). But I find what Kunos did with the sound design as one of the best examples of balancing simulation and video gamey-ness. And that makes for a better immersive experience in my opinion.

I really appreciate when I hear other things, like track debris, clunks, bumps and rattles. Agree there should be a better effort to record the concert happening inside the car. Thanks Lewis ‘Maestro’ Bloom.😊

imo, I know it sounds weird coming from me, but you should have done that with the Ferrari 488. the GTE and GT3 are essentially the same car(they can convert the GT3 to GTE and vice versa) while the Porsches are different models between GTE and GT3. and even in RaceRoom, they still use the classic 2017-2019 911 RSR. the 488 GT3 and GTE would have been better for a more fair comparison

Well said Lewis, sound (as we know on TH-cam) is often far more important than a whole list of other things. LMU (although very good car and brake sounds) & Rennsport have a distinct lack of control over individual volume/sound channels in game - begs the question why? ACC as you rightly point out has aguably one of the best all round sound stages, RF2 has those lovely chasis creaks and rattles and everything else is in the middle. Keep up the great work buddy 👍😉
