Edit: Ilja gets 5K a month for working on this gorgeous Rain Mod and He's also the one who gave us CSP which kept AC current in a huge amount of ways. He also damn near gives us almost weekly updates for CSP by constantly adding more features. Now that's dedication and love for his passion. The Patreon supporters show how amazing the community is behind AC, on top of showing that we want to keep this sim/game progressing well after the Kunos left it behind. CSP is one of the main reasons AC is still my most played sim.
He should get way more.
@@Ermz It's a HELL OF A LOT more than just a "rain mod". CSP is a whole overhaul of the physics and behaviors of the game and with the new (still experimental) "extended physics" there's a lot of new coming down the pike.
Oh and that money every month, it's not really a reflection of what he DOES, it's a reflection of how many people he continues to make HAPPY.
I always wondered how the mods are financed. Is it like Patreon-esque financed? Or do people have to pay to get the mod?
@@drchtct Can't speak for every mod or modder but here's what I do know: Some do sell their mods for a fee (RSS, URD for example), many are free (hobby or passion projects, check assettodb.com or racedepartment.com for ex.), some have patreons et al.
Phoenix77 (I think) who does LA Canyons (awesome, awesome track) for example, gives it for free but has a two levels of "premium" versions for sale that add functionality (basically the "freemium" model) but the free version certainly gets him exposure. He also has a few other tracks that are completely free (PCH comes to mind)
Iliaj's work however is just way above and beyond simple "mods".
His work on Content Manager is a total transformation for using AC and I'll never touch the AC vanilla UI again. CM is also "freemium" (actually more like "donationware") and CSP, as you can see, is an incredible transform of the game itself changing physics and weather and visuals and so much more than can be said here. Probably as much or more work as the original game development itself.
@@JoelAz909 Of yeah, I forgot he does all of CSP, that makes alot more sense and I wondered why his name sounded so familiar. Ive been using CSP for 3 years or so, maybe. CSP and CM were one of the main reasons I still play AC the most out of al my racing sim/games.
"How a Racing Game From 2014 Became Photorealistic?"
Short answer: Ilja Jusupov & Peter Bose
The content manager is a must. I wish all racing game have this ui.
In 2025: This tire mod in AC is better than rf2
honestly i'd argue the tire model's capabilities are already better than rf2, but the problem is that theres only like 2 cars that take proper use of the amazing extra physics features that CSP adds, but have to be applied car-by-car, using good, real data (those cars are IER Simulations P13c and BK Studio R8 LMS)
The FFB lacks that feel of the road surface, so while the physics feel great, the FFB doesnt feel so "rubber on ground" as rf2 no matter what you do with the physics.
So maybe FFB rewrite soon? hahaha
With this Simulator is nothing impossible!
Hehe.. Hopefully your right mate.. 😎👍👊
@@whysoslow1999 in the latest versions of CSP there is a direct force-feedback setting that feels much more accurate than the original FFB. It feels a lot like raceroom on the regular v10 tire model. I imagine if I tried the cars you mention it would feel very much like rf2.
@@whysoslow1999 Lol.
But Since almost a year Rf2 become more and more fun and beautiful . Still behind AC in pur graphism. But the gap has been greatly reduced.
And no tire model is still better and RF2.
@@mikawelll tyre model in rf2 is crooked and broken
Would love to see Ilja (the maker of CSP and Content Manager) in the Studio 397 team. This man alone is responsible for AC being future proof, Optimized and having a great easy UI!
They need to hire him asap.
Great idea !
His name appears in AMS2 credits!
This is my go to Sim. Tried plenty of alternatives but I always return to AC. With the right mods/settings this game is one of the best virtual racing experiences ever.
Ermin, turn the heater all the way up, you got foggy windshield 😂
I wasn't expecting anything mindblowing from the title... but my jaw is on the floor I can't believe how good it looks
You need to try some of RSS’s mod cars if it’s better physics you want. The GT pack is phenomenal.
That looks incredible. The flames seem overdone though.
Nothing that can’t be customized to your liking:)
I really got into AC this year, 2 years after the developers ended supporting it - it is so well modded with CSP, and Content Manager is great. And the multiplayer is always busy.
Thanks Ermin, I'm now sold on this and will be downloading today! Another excellent video, keep up the great work!
If only more realised just how good AC is these days. CSP, SOL and that amazing wet weather effect. Set up right and the FFB/physics in AC is top notch stuff.
If only the sound would be close as good... (And yes, also with mods, it's not even close to acc for example)
I personally think the menus arent good. Yes, there are mods for PC but many customers want a finished game without any mods. So the hardcore community will stay and enjoy the mods but that doesn't get a game to a hype status where it would boom in the mainstream market.
@@drchtct 😂
@@tradesman1000 ...
If only people didn't have to download all of those mods to get the experience you're describing.
ilja's rain mod looks insanely close and inspired by DRIVE CLUB, which set the bar so high, no racing sim/game has even came close...until now, which is so badass for AC. DRIVE CLUB still wins at the moment though when it comes to rain effects on the windshield, environment, and particle spray. If you havnt seen DRIVE CLUBs rain, please go check it out.
its a PS4 exclusive so yeah that kills it
@@alouisschafer7212 Yes, but that wasnt my point
Driveclub without a doubt is the most beautiful racing game on a console from *2014!*
And the rain physics on the windshield is just insanely realistic!
Indeed
It's too bad they didn't take it further with another installment
I have to admit, these rain / reflection / refraction effects make the ACC effects look like they were made by some amateur, sadly.
Imagine this sim with this graphic, the content manager, the physics and FFB of rF2, of course open to modders, the sound of RRRE ... that would be the 7th heaven for every SimRacer.
@You Tube Yes Sir! 😎👍👊
FFB of RF2?! Really what's all the fuss about that. I mean except for FWD cars ,like the Mégane that feel great, did you drive a GT3 or GTE car?! Did that feel good to you?!
I have AC, ACC, AMS2, PC2, RF2 and RRE.
RF2 feels nearly as bad as PC2, but PC2 has those custom settings that RF2 doesn't.
🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
*Just WOOOW I uninstalled it 2015 and never touched it again*
*But this looks so amazing I should give it a try again*
As far as content creation goes man, production quality, idea's/titles for vids, Absolutely smashing it. Great to sit back and appreciate hard work and creativity when it comes to a still to boom Sim racing industry. Excited for the next decade in sim racing. your numbers, tenfold!
AC without content manager is like fish without chips.
1:17 "This story is a testament about what a dedicated and passionate community can do to a simracing plattform" Yeah!
(also.. this channel has also some passion! :P )
Loving the the Assetto Corsa videos lately Ermin, if you haven't do yourself a favour and try the Mercedes Benz 190E EVO II in the game it handles like a dream had so much fun with it the past few days, it has the best balance of mechanical grip (almost gt3 levels at speed) and savability (almost drift car savable) with a few minor adjustments, i remmeber you goin on about how the the 1m in Autobalista 2 felt so i think you ll enjoy it too :) that goes for everyone else out there too
I highly recommend the Street Cars of AC like the Supra or BMWs. Its a very pleasant driving experience.
And if you are looking for a thrill AC you need to try The Lotus 98T and the CanAm Porsche.
I don't know if it's a "no-no" to say this, but the handling of SOME cars in AC1 are still way better than SOME in AMS2 for me. I hope AMS2 guys get their shit together and focus on SIM aspect more than on the adding more content. For me, only about 1/4 or 1/3 cars are "drivable". Example: On straight, If I just touch a brake I'm pointing in a wrong direction.
@@alpha007org its tough, i think the strength of AC1 is its variety of cars and they all feel relatively good but there is 10-20 cars that feel amazing and then with modding you can double that number (not to mention all the tracks added by modders with awsome quality including laser scanned ones) but they are hard to come by with that level of quality, so i do think AMS2 needs more content especially now they are adding in real cars and some of them do feel amazing so i think they are on the right track as long as realism takes priority, but yes i agree completely that SOME cars in AC1 feel as good or better then the best cars in AMS2 and when you add in the variety of choice you have and moddability and the fact it can be made to look like this for me its the go too sim still for sure when i just wanna mess around and have a good experience
@@alpha007org Also im aware that AMS2 and Rfactor 2s physics models are superior and i do think they have superior force feedback but if you play around with all the settings in content manager you can get the wheel feel to 90% the feel and predictability of those sims which is impressive since the physics and tyre models are from a 2014 game, it think its as good as it gets for the way they go about simulating the physics, which just makes me excited for when a company like kunoz use a tyre model like rfactors with somthing like a full AC2 with the unbelievable modder support it will inevitably get
@@danieldonovan9755 I just wanted to point out that AMS2 is _currently_ a big mess. If they continue just adding content and fiddle with FFB feel, realism will never get "right". I want Reiza to stop adding content and address their "baseline" physics model.
I still play this game after all these years!
about that BMW "cutting you off" ... IMHO you just came from FAR to far back and he just ran his line, because as you know you want to enter a corner from the outside and that is what he has done ... not going to the outside because there is some maniac divebombing the hell out of you would be the AI thing to do ^^
Great video and commentary ,
and wow what a driving with that gt3 on a wet asphalt! It seems that rain needs some manifestation on the car grip, may be? lol
Thanks for looking at AC. Still such a great title.
The modder professionals did and are doing a great unbelieveable job. Imagine all this you showed is still in testing/beta phase. Weather transition improvements on the horizon and it's amazing. Create a weatherplan based on the #laps you created.
12c best car to pick cos it’s basically a flamethrower. Great vid btw 👍.
Yip it's incredible, I've gone back to it from all the other sims... If ever a game needed a kick from what makes this so good now is Rfactor2
Make a video with all the mods cranked up on a clear day to show off the light bounce, ambient occlusion, realtime reflections, shadow and shader enhancements, motion blur enhancements, talk about the FFB post processing tweaks they added (probably for lower end wheels), talk about soft particles, The AI tweaks, and everything else that makes CSP an SOL two powerhouses that work perfectly together to keep Assetto Corsa up in the top sim scene with 1000s of cars and 100s of amazing tracks all for free. Also That Shutoku Revival Project. Man, so many things happening in the AC scene
CSP
Sol
Content Manager
Tracks by FatAlfie
Kunos' 330P4, 908LH and GT40
Pessio's Abarths and Minis
= Simming bliss
An immersive vintage experience that no other game has come close to so far IMO
You should try aphigod's Lola T70 MkII Spyder. It's an excellent mod and works really well with the other cars you mentioned.
I agree the shader is great and really adds a lot. The one thing I think is silly is the lightning. I don't think races are run when there is lightning. Seems silly.
Actually, assetto corsa is from 2006, assetto is a "ripped" version of netkar pro, just with better physics
AC is the best value sim out there. Ultimate edition for about £4, content manger for £3 and most mods free. If you're into historic racing it's unmatched with stuff guts like Bazza do.
CSP brings every modern visual effect of any modern game engine has aside from Ray Tracing support (they will). They have realtime reflections, so many advanced features, ambient occlusion, soft particles, and so, so ,so much more. Thats a testament to how open ACs engine is built to allow Modders t dig in and add features that run surprisingly well
Oh man I have to get into this now that I have a Reverb G2 headset.
the down shift bursts are like flame throwers haha... love it
I recently updated Assetto corsa and my FPS went from 120+ to 50-65....but gosh the visual quality became so so much better
Looks incredible
As an absolute beginner, who just started simracing with an entry level wheel (G29), currently I'm learning the basics with ACC. But I'm absolutely happy that we have a sim which is moddable and beautiful. Kudos to the authors of the mods for AC. (I've already own it, just didn't play much. I also bought content manager) :)
Looks better and runs waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. Amazing work from the modder! Just need better physics now
AC is older than 2014, was in pre release for at least a year. I agree, AC and mods can be overwhelming for some and before you know it you have 500 different cars and over 100 tracks. But that is also the greatness, if you put a bit of work in, you get something amazing out. AC should only be used with Content Manager. PERIOD. Once you understand this, the world of possibilities open up. Plus no more loading screen and internal game menus. All bypassed. You can setup races to the nth degree. This make and skin in pos 1, this one in 2 etc. Mix and match to the exact car and skin. Just so cool. Then you add Sol and the weather addons are transformative to the game. Yes, you do still need a decent rig to push...but I only ever run it in VR. I can't race on a pancake, just lose so much time to VR racers who can look into turns and slides. I used to wonder how those guys ran 6:10 at Nords, then I got VR and improved 20 seconds over best lap in first session. VR is a game changer and AC supports it even though it was released prior to VR. Awesome. As for ACC, I thinks it feels ok, but just poorly optimized in VR. Whereas, Automobilista 2 can run a full 30 car field in VR with no issues on an few year old pc...and it looks beyond amazing. Feels great too. But AC is and will always be a go to, where else can you drive any car on any track in any combination together with great VR.
Give a donation to get full content manager, it is excellent.
If youre broke, SOL, which is free has rain/wet weather effects as well and you can enable wet physics in content manager that works with SOL. But its just not a gorgeous as ilja's.
sorry this is not true, Sol uses CSP rain stuff
@@lebluem9240 well doesnt sol add rain effects with its weather selection or just work in conjunction with CM for that?
@@d3tach3d it works only with CustomShadersPatch, thats the thing adding the rain, so to speak: ContentManager is just the "hull" around both CSP and Sol
You should have activated the extended physic when driving on rain. It would not be as fast and as easy as on this video. There is 2 box that need to be tick into content manager and the whole ffb and physic experience will be changed. It is still experimental phase but still better then driving with visual rain effects with a dry physics.
Looks unbelievable!!! It's like it has Ray Tracing on. I assume with all those addons Assetto Corsa now requires a heavier machine than ACC.
They're definitely neck and neck. You can crank up the CSP settings to really big down the system.
Those flames in the rear view mirror... Took me by surprise lol.
Fire in the hole!
Every time a new csp comes out my graphics card cried a little.
I honestly see the biggest hurdle in ams 2 and other universal sims in the fact, that ac is just still so damn good. The physics are still good and the amount of original and mod content is unbeatable.
Just bought AC - even unmodded its fantastic. Can't wait to add these in and join a league.
And you can make it look even more realistic with reshade due to the 10000 settings it has which can massively improve shadowsand overall lighting, reflections, colors etc. Turning my shader config off/on is a night/day difference. I don't download other people's filter and config etc it's much better to go through each value and set them because it blows my mind how little people actually configure w those tools. I have mostly found contrast/brightness/saturation changes on the internet but nothing that truly changes the rendering. With enough tweaking you could easily loose 5-10 FPS etc. Lots of settings that drastically improves AC.
I get the fog on the windscreen but if you can have control of how much of that effects the windscreen that would be great. I feel its just too much.
I don't think that is fog... I think that is the spray coming from the cars ahead.
@@PiotrG1337 i meant the dew/condensation. Fog was probably the wrong word to use.
I see the good intention of giving credits to AC's level of customization but the raindrop on windshield which just cancels the water fog created by the previous car just make it out of character so badly.
Jesus that looks good. Awesome showcase of the rain and lighting as well!
Soon you too can enjoy it from the comfort of your sim racing lawnchair!
@@Ermz You bet I will!
Kunos should hire/contract modders (especially Ilja) and use their own experience (and maybe even content) from ACC to create Assetto Corsa 2 on their own engine. Mod support, Weather system, Content Manager style UI, implemented community features like SRS races... They could even go with current simplified damage model and port cars straight from ACC if this would mean more refined multiplayer/AI and more content. I would love Assetto Corsa 2 as touring cars centric game. Imagine BTCC with this weather system...
There is not a lot going on with ACC anymore from the development, so maybe they are working AC 2.0 already.
My 2080 super gives me 130 fps with all this at max. Great vid and pretty much the reaction I had when I installed it.
Make sure you have 'Extra FX' enabled (it's disabled by default) That's the real GPU hog!
about time you shed some light on the best sim on the market.
The rain effect is incredible but without the physics/feeling of a wet road surface it doesn't beat ACC in that respect.
nice vid! one thing you did not get right: internal ai behaviour is not changed
Ermín definitelly try to turn on water physics. Check CM - Settings - Content Manager - Drive - Allow to use patch cars data to activate extended physics - this has to be checked, then you will have the option in DRIVE menu to turn advanced physics on. Then try to play with settings in CSP - FFB TWEAKS menu, it will improve FFB to new level for some cars.
Hi buddy if I do what you eat does this unlock the wet physics
I just wish there were more online servers. Seems like they've died a bit. Especially in variety. Its always the same drifts tracks and race tracks. Theres more empty servers than occupied. All these effects would be amazing online too. So beautiful and still going to keep playing for sure
Imagine if some is working on Assetto Corsa 2 and then they see this. They will probably give up and buy out the Sol 2.0 shader patch.
Btw, you don't have to pay Ilja 5$per month! You can, of course! But 1$ works also...
Or one off and cancel
AC Manager + SOL + CSP + Reshade (maybe) = Better visuals than current titles with the right tracks. if you got a beast of a PC and get a CSP Preset or know enough to tweak it your own as well as SOL, you can get amazing visuals.
Flames look ridiculous
Looks Phenomenal ...
to get wet weather physics you'll have to unpack the data of the specific car you'd like to drive in the wet and add a specific line like DEV EXTENTION or something and save the new data in CM. So obviously back up the original data before doing this, and no online because of the modified data, but it'd make a single player GT3 race like this VERY fun with the modified data on the cars. I wonder how the AI would handle it and how the handling compares to the feeling of wet weather driver in ACC, which is arguably the best out there with the hydroplaning physics
good job Ermin!
take a shot for every time ermin says 'flames'
I modded my R8 with yellow lights and yeah it's much better. You should also try the new Macau mod.
great vid mate, keep up the good work
it's SUCH a shame that AC is running on a 32bit engine.
Had it been 64bit, we could have had massive open world maps. It would have become the perfect game.
Imagine when rFactor 2 will look this good in 37 years.
Some cars made by 397 studios are similar to AC . Like the 488 and the dpi Cadillac. And Rfactor 2 game engine has almost 10 years...
The Macca in original AC is probably one of the most tail happy GT3s there. That and the Ferrari
That makes a lot of sense. It murdered me a lot on prior takes.
Amazing
Assetto Corsa is like S.T.A.L.K.E.R of racing
IRacing should take some notes and hire the developers of these mods...
Also SRS and WSS are integrated in the content manager, with a great variety of events and a very good competitive system. In overrall it is the best simulator, in ACC although it has perhaps the best physics model, the feeling does not convince me, rF2 has the best feeling and tire model, but the physics have many bugs, AC + CSP + SOL + SRS + WSS in my opinion is the best simulator without being the best in anything maybe now in the graphics haha, but the sensations are much better than in ACC and very similar to rF2
AC is the only game that actually has all of what the community wants. Thats why it is still #1
Use the GT3 mods by BK mods, they make use of the extended physics and accurate manufacturer data provided by the actual race engineers.
So, as you mention your 3080 GPU... does that mean that to get this level of visual awesomeness, you'd need a 3080-level GPU performance too?
Im running a solid 60fps or more on a full car grid on Nurburgring 24 hr layout with maximum video settings with an RTX2060 even with rain.
@@zeyzerx3722 Thanks, that's promising!
You forgot to include AudioLoids McLaren GT3 sound mod! It would be whole new level!
damn if only my game could look as good as yours
Not so good idea to demonstrate sol with "raining smoke".
The flames tho 🤘🏻🏁
if the cameras of like the replays were like type of camera shake it would be nice
this is so realistic that i kept trying to wipe the water off my phone screen and moving side to side so i can see track better ..
THE GINETTA LMP1 CAR WAS ADDED TO RF2 TODAY!!!! by global endurance mod, go check it out!!
also amazing content as usual!!
Not at all shabby for the okd kid on the block eh?
And due to the modding community, you can pick your car (not all have wiper animation) and pick your track ( not all have rain fx)- and off you go!
I have more fun with this sim than any other at the moment. 👍🏻
Thanks for vid.
Ilya Yusupov the developer of CSP currently earns 27,756 Euro PER MONTH! Hasn't he had enough? Fixed cost per month is not everyone's cup of tea and exactly what keeps me away from trying iRacing.
If only this had features like iracing, great game and it works nice in vr too.
Unfortunately the only gfx card for my new PC (low profile refurbished job )I could get 6 months ago was a 1030 (ddr5 one) so these mods might be a step too far at the moment , looking at 1650 low profile is this sufficient ?
nice
What boom arm are you using for your microphone?
For me, is the better!!
Sick sick vid, I’m just starting to build my first ever sim rig and such. But can’t wait to build my Pc amd slowly move my driving games from console to Pc only and enjoy games like this...thank you to all these s too. You guys and girls are amazing for Turing this game into a masterpiece... question to all, is this also doable for project cars 2? Would love to see that game continue into 2021 onward too, to give us all those cars and tracks for some amazing gameplay that mr bell stole from us... :)
Ermin have you even played around with different post processing filters? Honestly it transforms it and makes it even better.
Running sol_extra here. There are better ones?
@@Ermz you can set one up yourself but sol_extra has everything enabled so it probably can't get better than that
@@Ermz Sorry for lateness Ermin but I was using A33P but I have modified Horizon Shades a little as it has too much motion blur and altered glare and it looks crazy good now easily my favourite.
Are you running extended physics? It's still WIP, but it's fundamental to get the full rain experience.
That's great. Can you share your water spray settings? I haven't managed to make it look so natural yet
Maybe a dumb question, but I can't see the exhaust flames in my virtual mirror. What can I do?
if only rf2 have mods like this!!!
