little tip for an otherwise amazing video, if the sun is extremely bright and you can't see, I wouldn't turn off sunrays, I think it's too nice of an effect to lose, instead use the page down button in game to turn down the exposure, for my ppfilter I have it at only 30% , because at 100 the sun is really bright.
I've got a little problem. I can set the steering but when I try to set the throttle/brakes It just doesn't recognize them. My pedals work because I can see it at the top right but it just doesn't apply.
Guys, is the extended physics checkbox better to keep it active for all cars or not? I noticed that with the extended physics the lap times drop slightly and the ffb clips more easily
I believe this is only really useful if you want rain physics on vehicles that don't have that checked on by default anyway. Cars that have it enabled I don't think it has an impact on and if the track/vehicle doesn't support it then it'll make not difference.
when i try to open content manager an error pops up saying "System.IO.IOException: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." followed by another 30 lines or so of code. What should i do i tried redownloading cm, reinstalling ac, disk checking all my partitions, reinstalling everything on another drive, nothing will work. It worked completely normal for so long then it didnt. It happened while my cat was sleeping on my keyboard with my pc open i really wanna know what's causing this.
when i install content manager i can not put any folder in the root folder at the beginning it says " directory apps is missing ". and now i am stuck and do not know what to do i tried everything and searched on google but did not find the answer. can you help me plz?
This could be corruption, so make sure to verify your installation. I've not come across the issue personally, but from what I've read, it can be where the game is partially installed in two separate locations.
Sadly there are lots of mixed messages on this kind of error. One option is to delete CM entirely and download the latest version, from there make sure your Steam game is picked up properly under settings and see how far that takes you.
I've installed content manager, it launched automatically after instalation, configured some settings, run game once and turned off comupter. Next day i can't find any executable of content manager, no shortcut, no *.exe. Where should i find it?
I have a problem in content manager when I try to open it in vr it says to move my root folder to somewhere else and I'm not sure what that means thanks
When i downloaded content manger im getting a error on the assetto corsa root folder spot. its telling me Directory "apps" missing and i don't know what to do.
Have you a video on how to set a motor going for an Aston Martin GT3 car ? is this done in Content manager? I have it set in ACC but car wont go. I've goofed it on the key pad pressing keys. I have a high end sim set up 3 screens plus one above , Sim-cube pro 2, Sim-trec pedals, Wheel Sparco GT wheel, need help ASAP
The mods that content manager wants to install for you are usually in zip files. Winzip is a shareware app for such a thing but on later versions of Windows you already have something to extract these without additional installation. Install something like 7Zip that can do this for you and is completely free, that is, if your OS can't do the job for you without it. www.7-zip.org/download.html
This sounds like Content Manager hasn't successfully managed to find your steam details. If you open Content Manager then go to Settings>Content Manager>General you can manually set your ac path and Steam ID. It should find these for you automagically though.
@@ThePrescott32 Ahh cool - somehow missed your comment so feel a bit guilty it took so long to reply to you - sorry about that. Glad you're back up and running!
If you open up Content Manager, go to [ Settings > Content Manager > General ] you should see 'Steam profile' and have an option to set it there. Make sure you have Steam running before Content Manager starts, it might not be essential but could help.
That normally suggests you are trying to look for Assetto Corsa in the wrong directory. From Steam, right click on AC, you then need to select properties > local files and click browse. Copy the folder location you see here (hint it'll contain an apps directory) and in Content Manager go to Settings > Content Manager > General and change your Assetto Corsa folder to the one you just opened in Steam.
Nope, you're not being silly at all, that feature is well buried. Sorry for the slow reply, I was having too much fun on holiday! 😅 In case you didn't find the answer to your question yet: Go to the [Drive] tab, then from there towards the bottom left if you are playing single->quick you'll find the option under the difficulty preset, that might be Pro, Gamer, Intermediate, etc. Across from tyre blankets the 3 vertical dots menu, if you click that you can set your assists. If you're playing online, you'll first have to select a server which allows the assists. On bringing up the screen where you get details on the server, just to the left of the [Join] button you'll see assists, click that and you can change to auto shifting, auto clutch, etc.
I have a question. If I download content manager it is automatically conected with my steam game and will I get steam achievments or I have to do something like connect it or?
Were you looking at the in-game lobby? I'm using Content Manager in this video, mind you, the video is a little old now so they might have updated that too.
@@Teqqlesdoessimracing like when i enter game its not the same like its yours,i feel like its older version idk i have just bought it off steam.Any tips?
@@montenegrofishing7497 Are you opening the game from Steam? If so, that isn't using Content Manager. You'll have to start up Assetto Corsa from Content Manager itself.
but I need help why My asseto corsas wheel setup with manual shifter works on the game perfecly, but when I try to use content manager it won't work what is wrong? do I need full version of it?
From content manager, go to Settings > Assetto Corsa > Controls and select wheel from the drop down. If your controls are recognised by Windows you should be able to assign them from here. Specifically for the shifter you'll need to move away from the Axis panel and go to Buttons, there you can assign your sequential shifter or check the H-shifter box and assign all your gears individually. Hope that helps!
@@Teqqlesdoessimracing thnx it's working perfectly right now!! wow I can't believe how realistic feel to drive on asseto corsa cz I allways was trying on Fh5 but it seems asseto old game but still 1st one at realistic driveing :oo Now I just need to know how to make more realistic graphics also this is second thing what I still didin't understand ;D

Assor Corsa Competizizone won’t play on my triple 32 “ screen set as one screen in Nvidia , it plays on 4th display screen set above when launched through Sim Hub. Could you let me know where to go to get it to open in wide screen, I guess it may be in Content manager. Thanks kindly for the well explained video you post, cheers Robbie
Normally you'll find this under a folder in Steam. Something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa is typical unless you've changed the install location of Steam or installed it in another way.
That was just an example folder, to find your own, load up Steam, go to your library and find Assetto Corsa. Right Click the game from your list and click properties. Select "Local Files" and then Browse which will open an explorer window in your installation location. That is the directory you need to supply to Content Manager. Hope that helps!
@@Teqqlesdoessimracing After doing this, it still opens the same files found in 1. program files (x86) 2. Steam 3. Steamapps 4. common 5. AC and the extension folder needed to install said mods is nowhere to be found. Please help
Under the Drive section for quick races it is in the bottom left, under some presets (Pro, Intermediate, Gamer) and slightly to the right of Tyre Blankets. You'll see 3 dots (ellipsis), click this and it'll pop up a window which shows mechanical damage. To do the same in career mode you need to first select a championship and then it'll appear as a 3 dot button on the bottom right of the screen to the left of the Go! button. Hope that helps!
Hi David. Good question. For the UI apps I believe you can scale them individually. When you move them around they have an anchor point which allows you to scale them. As for the text and main UI, that is a harder question. I don't believe you can do a lot from within Content Manager but there are some settings for the launcher in Steamapps/Common/assettocorsa/cfg/launcher.ini where you can play with LIMITWIDTH and IGNOREDPI though be sure to back up your settings before making any changes 😀
@@Teqqlesdoessimracing Thanks for your answer, but that doesn't work. The Maximum Scale for the Apps is Almost big enough but still too small, and the With Limit is for Triple Screen and doesn't affect anything (I've tested it), the DPI doesn't affect anything too surprisingly. Both options are in the Original Base Game Settings (Not Content Browser).
That's the Drive > Single screen. If you look at the menu at the top of Content Manager, click Drive on the top left and then underneath that menu click single, it'll then give you those options.

Thanks for the tip. I did try that but it was still too bright for me. I'll pin the advice though as it might help others 👍
@@Teqqlesdoessimracing that's odd, I'm using NFS2015 ppfilter without colour grading and then turn it down to 30 exposure, perfect for me!
@@Joe-hl2ts I'll have another look when I'm back at the rig to see if I missed something 🙂
sunlight is a part of playing. Do a good lap time wile cant see the road.
This video was very helpful, I got content manager confused on how to use it but then I found this video and it’s been great ever since
Glad it helped! I have some follow up videos in the works which will hopefully help even more 😍

I've got a little problem. I can set the steering but when I try to set the throttle/brakes It just doesn't recognize them. My pedals work because I can see it at the top right but it just doesn't apply.
Is that from within the game or Content Manager that you can't see the throttle or brake?
okay so im late but if youve not figured it out yet, run the controls setup in assetto and save the profile and apply it in content manager

For the core game - maybe. It's when you start adding a bunch of mods that I find Content Manager most helpful.
why doesnt my sky change or my video settings change when i go in assetto corsa, is it something to do with usiung the lite womde on custom manager

I'm not sure I entirely understand your meaning. Are you trying to load Assetto Corsa or ACC?
