Yah I think fix is to make curbs non 3D or smaller on tracks - or mods that use multi ray casting for tires other issue is AC1's suspention simulation is not as good as ACC/RF2/iRAcing so I think large bumps also cause issues for that as well so again just moddling curbs smaller is good idea.
You can use majority of the kerbs in AC. You do avoid some kerbs in real tracks as well. If you ever been to track days you'd know. They are "kerbs" for a reason. They are meant to be rougher than asphalt. Not meant to be used as inherent part of the track like asphalt.
@@disturbed1787 Nah this is not the issue. The kerbs in AC are fundamentally broken and have been for a long time. It’s a widely acknowledged problem with its physics.
We needed this for so long, I've missed racing in AC I used to do leagues but iRacing was just more accessible to race at anytime. Suddenly we have so many options! I hope people give them all a chance.
I wasn't thrilled by the car and track combos at first sight but after giving it a go, it's fine. Those big inviting looking kerbs at Lime Rock are going to be a surprise for anyone new to AC though.
I would love to see BTCC from VRC and maybe Classic Endurance Pack from RSS. I know these are paid mods but i really think they are worth it, specially to online racing.
Can't wait to try AC with LFM. I tried ACC with LFM and it was fine, but I never really liked the handling in ACC and basically just sucked at it. And as a person who has minimal time to race, AC is much easier to just jump into. I'm excited to race the MX5! A simple to drive car with an H-shifter. Sign me up!
I had the opposite experience. I'm rubbish at racing in AC, but ACC is a lot more comfortable for me. Somehow trail braking feels much easier in ACC than in the original.

Thanks very much GamerMuscle - and thanks for explaining all the APPS you were using at the start, as I was one of those that was curious... Sounds very exciting with all that LFM info - can't wait to try it out when it goes "live"?
The problem is though once you set up AC+CM and apps it works like a racing game should. In rFactor I lose FFB randomly at the start of races about 30% of the time. The devs even put a button to map to reset FFB due to this known issue. Not to mention other issues like not being about to save button configs as a profile if you need different button mappings between F1 cars versus GT3 cars. You also cannot do any adjustments to FBB, UI widgets, and other things while you are racing on the track -- you have to exit out of the race to make any adjustments. As well as any FFB adjustment seems to only apply to the livery of one car and not the whole car! I don't know.. tons of issues with rFactor2 that makes me scream.

@GamerMuscle - Can you do a video that outlines the best mods for Assetto Corsa??? This would be helpful to new people coming into it and for old head like me who are returning to it...AC is A LOT different now than when it came out almost 10 years ago :D
I love how customizable this sim is. Personally, I use more console like HUD elements. It was nice when Rivali OV1 was working well. But nowadays I use a smattering of HUD elements that make AC feel a lot more polished. And I switch things per car as well.
If they can just bring the graphics up to speed, add the ability to customise cars like in Forza(they almost certainly won't though), and open up modding even more than in AC1, then AC2 will be the only driving game anyone will ever need.
How do you change the HUD per car ? There is a way to make it more configurable to just switch the apps depending of the car I want to race with? Thanks
I'll probably get to this at some point. Looks good. I had to reset my PC about a month ago. Got every other SIM back and ready to go but could not be fussed setting up AC again. It's such a chore with CM, CSP etc. At some point (maybe next year), I'll set it up again. 😅
I spent 10+ hours, configuring AC to my VR setup. Waiting my wheel from Fanatec Black Friday, and this happened - AC with LFM) I hope - it is a really good combination to start newbee online sim-racing))
This is what I have been waiting for years, got me to play again, racing was actually really good we didn't even have the typical first turn crash :). You talked about setups (i'm a complete noob), do I just have to go to your discord ?
Kudos for using the H shifter as God intended on this car! The LeMans mod they chose is a track cutter's dream. Horrendous. The new 2017 version fixes some of that, it's just strange they would go with a (Forza) mod track when so much of the stock content for tracks is excellent. And that LMP3 mod equally as bad. What the hell were they thinking with that. 599XX at Classic Monza! 😅
I have iRacing and ACC. I really am not much of a fan of ACC. But MX-5, GR86, Skip and Ford open wheel racing in iRacing makes for some pretty great racing. I just enjoy the variety and don't think I'll be investing any money in ACC DLC's going forward. I'll scoop AC next time it's on sale though to try it out.
Haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere but this, imo, is clearly a beta test for AC2 so LFM can be ready on release of AC2. Would not be a bit surprised this was pushed/requested by Kunos to directly compete with iRacing going into the future.
SRS just didn't have enough resources. Sounds like it was more of a one man project and the guy just can't offer all the content and fleshed out features of LFM. That's what I gathered from G Muscle's recent video on the subject
Have you tried the LMDH that they are going to use next week? Imo the mods are terrible. The glickenhaus is a hybrid and drives like an lmp1, when in real life it is just a twin turbo V8. Even tho they are free i don't really understand this choice of low quality mods.
I know this sounds not related but I think this is even more concerning for raceroom than iracing. THIS is what raceroom were supposed to excel at. they had EVERYTHING. they had the servers, the tracks, the cars. and they just chose to make weekly rotations with paywalled content. I've been saying that raceroom would become obsolete in 2024, when rennsport and AC2 releases. but I was wrong, it seems it already is 😅
Looks fun. Need to see some faster cars to draw me in, though. Would be fantastic racing the RSS LMDH or VRC LMP1s, not to mention the free single seaters on offer by RSS. So much potential here. I’d kill for competitive multi class AC races.
I understand the concerns with good online racing and clean cars/tracks but for me the whole point of AC apart from the physics is the possibility to drive any car... It's so sad to see the same cars everywhere when we could have GT1's, BTCC, DTM, etc. We can do boring races on every other sim already.
I just hope LFM (and players) will use content unique to Assetto Corsa instead of making it another GT3/LMP setup. I'd love to get serious racing in vintage cars.
I feel so flabbergasted after I bought some rf2 content on black Friday worth £40+, then I found absolutely astonishing FFB REAL STEERING setting in AC CSP that makes literally the best FFB in human history and now LFM for AC, so I think £40+ was wasted TBH...
As a AC fanboy I would still recommend getting in and doing rf2 ranked racing, it's just as good as Assetto Corsa and right now has better car combo choices
Tbh this doesn’t really move me, LFM is great for ACC but that’s because ACC itself is also a modern game with a functioning UI from this century. AC, as much as I like hotlapping Nordschleife and loading up some mods, just isn’t it in (almost) 2024. So much pain with all the mod management, the UI is god awful. The real deal is AC2 next year and their online system, potentially also with LFM, that’s how you attack iRacing, not like this. I also think the great part about LFM in ACC is that it mimics iRacing. You race the same car class for 12 weeks, it feels like a real season. The rotating system of rF2 and AC by LFM isn’t as engaging, it’s more like a nice inbetween distraction, but nothing that glues people to their rigs for months like I was when I first used LFM in 2021
Yeah responding to Gamer’s statement, I fit into the demographic that he is talking about but for the same reasons of time, convenience etc (casual racing), I would never have time to make this work. If I can carve out protected time to race in my family, I want to make sure I can race. I think this is awesome and I want to try it, but it’s not going to cause iRacing to lose much sleep.
ACC may be more modern but it's not a very good sim when it comes to actually driving a car. It's delayed, numb driving inputs are highlighted when you try Assetto Corsa. AC2 won't be ready on release just like every modern sim, it will take years to become usable. AC is a sandbox for LFM, It's about having fun races with car combos other sims can't supply with a little competition sprinkled in. And it's basically all at the cost of the base game and it's here right now. I struggle to see what not to like.
@@JaredPaul01 I disagree about ACCs driving, it was like that years ago, it's not like that anymore. It's such a refined, allround good experience for GT3s, AC1 is just a sandbox. If you're into that, cool, go have fun, I don't really like it
I have all the Down loads and everything I needed But could not find the race server I could find the practice LFM servers but when It came to the race I could not Find it no matter what I typed
iRacing needs to provide WAY more when you have to spend $200 or more to race a full series buying tracks / cars / etc if you want to do anything interesting. That and then getting your ratings tanked by trolls and nothing happening about it. Yah ... iRacing is not worth the $$$ when you pay for a SUB monthly and don't get any support to make sure the racing is quality.
Lol I just went back to AC to try lol after I went to Andrettis in Orlando, they have AC with a motion sim using Fanatec equipment. Lol holy shit .. it's easy to get brained washed by iracers. Reminds me of that scene of the second matrix with the Architect and Neo. The Architect explained of the many iterations the Matrix had because the first one was a "perfect" world for our minds, BUT the human mind just wouldn't except it because the human mind knew something wasn't right about a perfect world. Iracing is super forgivable when you give more steering mid corner because one lacked the correct rotation and speed. In AC.. yea you'll know you fucked up real quick 😂
biggest problem with AC on LFM is legality of tracks and cars, on your video is first Le Mans track (wich is literaly beatutifuly made track) but they had to change it and now we have some weird Le Mans look a like track that is extremaly bad. If they will add races on only those bad quality tracks it will die quite fast.
AC has way better physics and net code than than AMS2 so it wouldn't make any sense , AMS2 is much better for single player and AI racing or doing casual racing with friends though
I dont think its "simcade" I just think they still need to get the tires acting tighter and more responsive its like always driving a rally car , dirt racing is really good in it though @@abuelb
For some a little hard to locate at first. I had the same issue trying to find it. Had to open up the APP Shelf which is in the list on the right side of screen when on track and then actually install the Radar App. Not sure why this had to be done ....however ....once done it's worked fine since.
Looks like AC on LFM got off to a flying start racing wise. Interesting choice to kickt it off with several mods rather the great original Kunos content. Installing mods obviously adds one more step for a less experienced user, before they can get on track. Maybe they're testing the full process during the beta though, I guess.
I was thinking the same thing, but if you already have content manager (which 90% of ac players have already) then installing mods is as simple as dragging and dropping a zip file in content manager. But i do still agree with you that they should have used the kunos content to start it off
True enough, it's not exactly complicated to get the legendary trilogy of content manager, pure and the mods installed. My comment was more of a question than a statement really, just wondering why they opted to go for mods.@@allthingsminifig9263
They should've picked a more noob-friendly track for the Miata. So many idiots signed up that have no clue about how to drive and racing rules, and a tricky track doesn't help. Some people drive with a keyboard - this is just madness, not so different from public servers
@@d.o.5238 It may have nothing to do with it, but MX5 at Lime Rock Park is a classic rookie iRacing combo of course. Perhaps it was designed to lean in to the '...this is iR for AC' angle.
@@d.o.5238 I've done about 10-12 races so far and its definitely not like a public server, ive seen a few idiots but no where near as many as i expected. Maybe I just go lucky but im impressed with the racing so far. Also, practice servers are provided so people will keep getting better and better, its still early days yet.
They killed it?! Really?! So AC has infinite content and yet they still choose an iconic iRacing combo?! The mx5 is kinda free in iR that's why it's used there. But why use it in AC when we have infinite amount of content and more fun cars?! I mean they are so obsessed with iR it's no longer funny.
It's actually very, smart, you cannot put in combos iRacers and ACC players don't know. They are fickle creatures that can only click a mouse button on average 11 times per sitting so they are already quite stressed with all this modding business.
Was waiting that really bad but I was really unhyped after seeing that the UI was still god awful and that mods (GT7 Hud and ACC hud) was a pain to config and was really not great (not working or felt cheap), I mean I respect the modders work but finding the good force feedback was hard for me on my CSL DD, jumping into that LMS modded car felt cheap, the force feedback felt grindy and sandy (while it was great on the MX5), I think LFM shouldnt use "unofficial mods" and tracks as there is too much difference in handling and physics. Might stick to AC for Touge sprints and nordschleife and thats all
I cannot get AC to look good in VR for some reason. I got AMS2 looking great. But for some reason AC looks super white washed. I need to figure this out because I really want to try LFM but I dont race much outside of VR.
View bouncing, more excessive in some cars than others. Can't get away with lock to horizon at all. Is there a way to tone down the vertical bounce? Only noticed it the other day in the Megan at Imola, turn 10 to 11 was unbearable. This is in VR btw
I use real head motion and the lock to horizon in that , can adjust it to how one likes , but yah would be nice if there was an iracing / RF2 head filter option
@@GamerMuscleVideosCheers James, did try to download that but it seems it's only available from the official ACC forum. My IP was banned 3 years ago by the Commandant for talking back to him regarding ACC. Will have to tunnel in under the back door so I can download it. Just needs a little tweak of the vertical bounce to get it perfect, don't want to stabilise the horizontal.
Would be nice if someone got say a early 90s imsa gto/gtp series going. High hp, heavy cars no abs or tc. Theres already an oversaturation of modern prototype/gt racing lets get some series going from all the awesome defunct racing series from the 80s and 90s. Btcc,dtm,jgtc,grand am as it was in the 90s, trans am, cart assetto corsa has great mods for all these. BOP would be an issue but I imagine a classic series would keep out allot of the win at all costs type of jackass that seems to plauge the lower ranks currently. 1st place in the 5th split is still 100th place, people need to keep that in mind when going for the win punting someone ahead in the first corner on the first lap
It would be great to race cars like the Audi 90 GTO etc, but the reality is you will have to go to dedicated leagues that like these series. Ranked systems are great for rounding up players and they will race practically anything as long as they see other drivers sign up in big numbers, but I question if It creates healthy racing, I wish people would be conformable to just race series they like for the fun of it, not just hot lap to earn fake ratings.
I wonder how much this will boost sales of AC2 when it comes out next year. Surely this has massively boost Kunos's sales targets. Also, ac2 is the game I'm hoping to be my main game. I'm sick of driving like 4 different games 😅. Also I'm sick of Windows. And with the Linux improvements thanks to steam deck. Like my god there's a perfect storm brewing.
Absolutely get AC, it costs so little and if you have some time to dig into it has an endless amount of content and features. Also the cars have a very satisfactory behavior when driven on the limit. On a DD wheel (i have a CSL DD) it feels just so good.
@GamerMuscleVideos well since you said in a video you have the intellectual capacity of a rusty fridge magnet, allow me to say my issue is that I'm as broke as a mirror that was left on the floor in the middle of a slayer concert..... sooooo it will take me a while to afford even a $20 game bahahaha
Considering how cheap AC is and how moddable it is there is no reason not to get it. Insane value for money. AC2 will be mess at release for sure. If they decided to build upon ACC people might stay with AC1 anyway.
go into a practice session or a hotlap and when AC is running and you can drive, move your mouse to the right side of the screen. A menu should come up. The top icon should be All Apps or something like that. If you click that, you should get a list of all the apps and overlays you can enable. You should see and Essentials one. If you click that, it'll pop up on the top, left of the screen and you'll be able to drag it to wherever you want it
I would just usee 'Sidekick' instead if i were you, race essentials was abandoned a long time ago and is very buggy, sidekick is made by the same guy but is updated regularly and works much better.
I'd love to get into LFM but its pointless from oceania due to ping, really the only thing iRacing has going for it now is local servers and local numbers for me. AUSSIES GET ON LFM
That intro song is a banger!! Need it on spotify asap

@GamerMuscle - Can you do a video that outlines the best mods for Assetto Corsa??? This would be helpful to new people coming into it and for old head like me who are returning to it...AC is A LOT different now than when it came out almost 10 years ago :D
that gamer muscle sound track is tooo lit
I love how customizable this sim is. Personally, I use more console like HUD elements. It was nice when Rivali OV1 was working well. But nowadays I use a smattering of HUD elements that make AC feel a lot more polished. And I switch things per car as well.
If they can just bring the graphics up to speed, add the ability to customise cars like in Forza(they almost certainly won't though), and open up modding even more than in AC1, then AC2 will be the only driving game anyone will ever need.
How do you change the HUD per car ?
There is a way to make it more configurable to just switch the apps depending of the car I want to race with?
Thanks
I'll probably get to this at some point. Looks good. I had to reset my PC about a month ago. Got every other SIM back and ready to go but could not be fussed setting up AC again. It's such a chore with CM, CSP etc. At some point (maybe next year), I'll set it up again. 😅
Pah! Looks like a drone driving station. I can't think of a more immersion busting setup.
intro for the ages !
Hey GamerM why dont you post somewhere your ffb settings? It would be very helpful for many moza users
New Intro is SICK BRUV!!!!!
Rapping Muscle 💪🏽 love it!
You got a like just because of the opening rap.
finally there will be good mods that are not scamdream...URD will have a field day pumping out mods for AC thanks to LFM...
damm i need to pull out my racing rig out for this :) looks promising GO GO LFM.
I spent 10+ hours, configuring AC to my VR setup. Waiting my wheel from Fanatec Black Friday, and this happened - AC with LFM) I hope - it is a really good combination to start newbee online sim-racing))
It's a great start, wish I could go back and start with AC lfm.
Track cutting included for free
People want easy and this will be like gt7 is on console I believe. This sim is the best for FFB and has excellent physics. Gonna be a great thing.
That intro bruv sick 😂😂😂
This is what I have been waiting for years, got me to play again, racing was actually really good we didn't even have the typical first turn crash :). You talked about setups (i'm a complete noob), do I just have to go to your discord ?
Kudos for using the H shifter as God intended on this car!
The LeMans mod they chose is a track cutter's dream. Horrendous. The new 2017 version fixes some of that, it's just strange they would go with a (Forza) mod track when so much of the stock content for tracks is excellent.
And that LMP3 mod equally as bad. What the hell were they thinking with that.
599XX at Classic Monza! 😅
I don't know why, but I felt a compulsion to click a link, like and subscribe, even though I already do.
I have iRacing and ACC. I really am not much of a fan of ACC. But MX-5, GR86, Skip and Ford open wheel racing in iRacing makes for some pretty great racing. I just enjoy the variety and don't think I'll be investing any money in ACC DLC's going forward. I'll scoop AC next time it's on sale though to try it out.
Haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere but this, imo, is clearly a beta test for AC2 so LFM can be ready on release of AC2. Would not be a bit surprised this was pushed/requested by Kunos to directly compete with iRacing going into the future.
So what was specifically wrong with Sim Racing System? And with Simgrid who i think also did AC? What is different here?
SRS just didn't have enough resources. Sounds like it was more of a one man project and the guy just can't offer all the content and fleshed out features of LFM.
That's what I gathered from G Muscle's recent video on the subject
How did you set up your camera? I kinda like it
Have you tried the LMDH that they are going to use next week? Imo the mods are terrible. The glickenhaus is a hybrid and drives like an lmp1, when in real life it is just a twin turbo V8. Even tho they are free i don't really understand this choice of low quality mods.
❤Loving it!!!! iracing is over for me!!!! Just canceled my subscription 😊
I know this sounds not related but I think this is even more concerning for raceroom than iracing. THIS is what raceroom were supposed to excel at. they had EVERYTHING. they had the servers, the tracks, the cars. and they just chose to make weekly rotations with paywalled content. I've been saying that raceroom would become obsolete in 2024, when rennsport and AC2 releases. but I was wrong, it seems it already is 😅
I asked you in your stream a couple days ago what hud you used.... hahaha
The tea is flowing my brothers, we have reached the promised land. Who fuckin needs ac2 and rennsport, not me!
Looks fun. Need to see some faster cars to draw me in, though.
Would be fantastic racing the RSS LMDH or VRC LMP1s, not to mention the free single seaters on offer by RSS. So much potential here.
I’d kill for competitive multi class AC races.
I understand the concerns with good online racing and clean cars/tracks but for me the whole point of AC apart from the physics is the possibility to drive any car... It's so sad to see the same cars everywhere when we could have GT1's, BTCC, DTM, etc. We can do boring races on every other sim already.
LFM changes the game for AC!!!!!!
I just hope LFM (and players) will use content unique to Assetto Corsa instead of making it another GT3/LMP setup. I'd love to get serious racing in vintage cars.
I’m twerking to your intro now thanks for that 😂
I feel so flabbergasted after I bought some rf2 content on black Friday worth £40+, then I found absolutely astonishing FFB REAL STEERING setting in AC CSP that makes literally the best FFB in human history and now LFM for AC, so I think £40+ was wasted TBH...
Nah RF2 is great with its ranking as well and its nice to have different sims with different content to move around on :)
As a AC fanboy I would still recommend getting in and doing rf2 ranked racing, it's just as good as Assetto Corsa and right now has better car combo choices
what are you setup in the ffb csp menu plz ?
Do you exclusively race on a stick sequential on MX5?
Tbh this doesn’t really move me, LFM is great for ACC but that’s because ACC itself is also a modern game with a functioning UI from this century. AC, as much as I like hotlapping Nordschleife and loading up some mods, just isn’t it in (almost) 2024. So much pain with all the mod management, the UI is god awful. The real deal is AC2 next year and their online system, potentially also with LFM, that’s how you attack iRacing, not like this.
I also think the great part about LFM in ACC is that it mimics iRacing. You race the same car class for 12 weeks, it feels like a real season. The rotating system of rF2 and AC by LFM isn’t as engaging, it’s more like a nice inbetween distraction, but nothing that glues people to their rigs for months like I was when I first used LFM in 2021
Yeah responding to Gamer’s statement, I fit into the demographic that he is talking about but for the same reasons of time, convenience etc (casual racing), I would never have time to make this work. If I can carve out protected time to race in my family, I want to make sure I can race. I think this is awesome and I want to try it, but it’s not going to cause iRacing to lose much sleep.
ACC may be more modern but it's not a very good sim when it comes to actually driving a car. It's delayed, numb driving inputs are highlighted when you try Assetto Corsa. AC2 won't be ready on release just like every modern sim, it will take years to become usable. AC is a sandbox for LFM, It's about having fun races with car combos other sims can't supply with a little competition sprinkled in. And it's basically all at the cost of the base game and it's here right now. I struggle to see what not to like.
@@JaredPaul01 I disagree about ACCs driving, it was like that years ago, it's not like that anymore. It's such a refined, allround good experience for GT3s, AC1 is just a sandbox. If you're into that, cool, go have fun, I don't really like it
I need that song!
SEAT SEAT SEAT SEAT
Why are you complaining about the curbs? They are fine. Worry about that pace
hopefully LFM splits balance soon so the races are competitive
I have all the Down loads and everything I needed But could not find the race server I could find the practice LFM servers but when It came to the race I could not Find it no matter what I typed
iRacing needs to provide WAY more when you have to spend $200 or more to race a full series buying tracks / cars / etc if you want to do anything interesting. That and then getting your ratings tanked by trolls and nothing happening about it. Yah ... iRacing is not worth the $$$ when you pay for a SUB monthly and don't get any support to make sure the racing is quality.
Now just to add AMS2 to LFM and the online ranked options will be complete.
AMS2 just isn't up to par yet, it would struggle to hold a substantial player base, still a decent sim tho.
GM is in heaven. His prayers and AC preaching have been heard and proven correct ;-)
Every race at evening is full long before start. My god I can't wait till they add some series with RSS cars.
As an avid sim racer, and rocket league enthusiast, I'm curious to your rank in RL? And are you an Octane user too? xD
I only played 2v2 i think i was domond 2 , i need to get back into it !
@@GamerMuscleVideos Awesome! Keep up the great content my guy!
Is it possible to share your 'App Windows' settings so I can have the same as you using?!
Where did you get race essentials from?
Lol I just went back to AC to try lol after I went to Andrettis in Orlando, they have AC with a motion sim using Fanatec equipment.
Lol holy shit .. it's easy to get brained washed by iracers.
Reminds me of that scene of the second matrix with the Architect and Neo. The Architect explained of the many iterations the Matrix had because the first one was a "perfect" world for our minds, BUT the human mind just wouldn't except it because the human mind knew something wasn't right about a perfect world.
Iracing is super forgivable when you give more steering mid corner because one lacked the correct rotation and speed.
In AC.. yea you'll know you fucked up real quick 😂
biggest problem with AC on LFM is legality of tracks and cars, on your video is first Le Mans track (wich is literaly beatutifuly made track) but they had to change it and now we have some weird Le Mans look a like track that is extremaly bad. If they will add races on only those bad quality tracks it will die quite fast.
Now let’s have AMS2 on LFM.
AC has way better physics and net code than than AMS2 so it wouldn't make any sense , AMS2 is much better for single player and AI racing or doing casual racing with friends though
Nooooo! Ams2 physics sucks. Its a simcade.
I dont think its "simcade" I just think they still need to get the tires acting tighter and more responsive its like always driving a rally car , dirt racing is really good in it though @@abuelb
Would love to see that as well. It's fun and awesome in VR. And they are improving the game with every patch.
@abuelb yea but is not like ac is that great either I feel is lacking alot of details on ffb but that's probably me
@GamerMuscleVideos where is this radar app on content manager ?
I can't find it.
For some a little hard to locate at first. I had the same issue trying to find it. Had to open up the APP Shelf which is in the list on the right side of screen when on track and then actually install the Radar App.
Not sure why this had to be done ....however ....once done it's worked fine since.
Can anyone explain how to install the bcast leaderboard please? My severe muppetry is preventing me achieving my goal.....
I'm kinda bothered you turned on your headlights for the MX5 while racing the during the day.
Looks like AC on LFM got off to a flying start racing wise. Interesting choice to kickt it off with several mods rather the great original Kunos content.
Installing mods obviously adds one more step for a less experienced user, before they can get on track.
Maybe they're testing the full process during the beta though, I guess.
I was thinking the same thing, but if you already have content manager (which 90% of ac players have already) then installing mods is as simple as dragging and dropping a zip file in content manager. But i do still agree with you that they should have used the kunos content to start it off
True enough, it's not exactly complicated to get the legendary trilogy of content manager, pure and the mods installed. My comment was more of a question than a statement really, just wondering why they opted to go for mods.@@allthingsminifig9263
They should've picked a more noob-friendly track for the Miata. So many idiots signed up that have no clue about how to drive and racing rules, and a tricky track doesn't help. Some people drive with a keyboard - this is just madness, not so different from public servers
@@d.o.5238 It may have nothing to do with it, but MX5 at Lime Rock Park is a classic rookie iRacing combo of course. Perhaps it was designed to lean in to the '...this is iR for AC' angle.
@@d.o.5238 I've done about 10-12 races so far and its definitely not like a public server, ive seen a few idiots but no where near as many as i expected. Maybe I just go lucky but im impressed with the racing so far. Also, practice servers are provided so people will keep getting better and better, its still early days yet.
They killed it?! Really?! So AC has infinite content and yet they still choose an iconic iRacing combo?! The mx5 is kinda free in iR that's why it's used there. But why use it in AC when we have infinite amount of content and more fun cars?!
I mean they are so obsessed with iR it's no longer funny.
All in good time :)
It's actually very, smart, you cannot put in combos iRacers and ACC players don't know. They are fickle creatures that can only click a mouse button on average 11 times per sitting so they are already quite stressed with all this modding business.
@@JaredPaul01 hahahahhaa nice one 😄
For some reason I don't see the Car Radar setting in Content Manager. Running the latest version. 0.2.1 -preview2
I've been wondering about this one but I'm not on the last version yet
It's in the recent CSP versions inside the App Shelf in-car app
I know nobody wants to hear this but when they took ranked out of Forza that's when it took a massive downturn. Ranked needs to be there.
Was waiting that really bad but I was really unhyped after seeing that the UI was still god awful and that mods (GT7 Hud and ACC hud) was a pain to config and was really not great (not working or felt cheap), I mean I respect the modders work but finding the good force feedback was hard for me on my CSL DD, jumping into that LMS modded car felt cheap, the force feedback felt grindy and sandy (while it was great on the MX5), I think LFM shouldnt use "unofficial mods" and tracks as there is too much difference in handling and physics. Might stick to AC for Touge sprints and nordschleife and thats all
I cannot get AC to look good in VR for some reason. I got AMS2 looking great. But for some reason AC looks super white washed. I need to figure this out because I really want to try LFM but I dont race much outside of VR.
View bouncing, more excessive in some cars than others. Can't get away with lock to horizon at all. Is there a way to tone down the vertical bounce? Only noticed it the other day in the Megan at Imola, turn 10 to 11 was unbearable. This is in VR btw
I use real head motion and the lock to horizon in that , can adjust it to how one likes , but yah would be nice if there was an iracing / RF2 head filter option
@@GamerMuscleVideosCheers James, did try to download that but it seems it's only available from the official ACC forum. My IP was banned 3 years ago by the Commandant for talking back to him regarding ACC. Will have to tunnel in under the back door so I can download it. Just needs a little tweak of the vertical bounce to get it perfect, don't want to stabilise the horizontal.
Would be nice if someone got say a early 90s imsa gto/gtp series going. High hp, heavy cars no abs or tc. Theres already an oversaturation of modern prototype/gt racing lets get some series going from all the awesome defunct racing series from the 80s and 90s. Btcc,dtm,jgtc,grand am as it was in the 90s, trans am, cart assetto corsa has great mods for all these. BOP would be an issue but I imagine a classic series would keep out allot of the win at all costs type of jackass that seems to plauge the lower ranks currently.
1st place in the 5th split is still 100th place, people need to keep that in mind when going for the win punting someone ahead in the first corner on the first lap
It would be great to race cars like the Audi 90 GTO etc, but the reality is you will have to go to dedicated leagues that like these series. Ranked systems are great for rounding up players and they will race practically anything as long as they see other drivers sign up in big numbers, but I question if It creates healthy racing, I wish people would be conformable to just race series they like for the fun of it, not just hot lap to earn fake ratings.
I wonder how much this will boost sales of AC2 when it comes out next year. Surely this has massively boost Kunos's sales targets.
Also, ac2 is the game I'm hoping to be my main game. I'm sick of driving like 4 different games 😅. Also I'm sick of Windows. And with the Linux improvements thanks to steam deck. Like my god there's a perfect storm brewing.
Serious question: If I dont have AC1, is it worth just waiting for AC2 which is supposed to come out soon?
AC2 will probably take 2-3 years to mature from launch hope its good but you can only go by whats good now with games and AC is great.
Nah don't wait. AC1 is so cheap and with the amount of mods, it's by far the best overall sim out there
Absolutely get AC, it costs so little and if you have some time to dig into it has an endless amount of content and features. Also the cars have a very satisfactory behavior when driven on the limit. On a DD wheel (i have a CSL DD) it feels just so good.
@GamerMuscleVideos well since you said in a video you have the intellectual capacity of a rusty fridge magnet, allow me to say my issue is that I'm as broke as a mirror that was left on the floor in the middle of a slayer concert..... sooooo it will take me a while to afford even a $20 game bahahaha
Considering how cheap AC is and how moddable it is there is no reason not to get it. Insane value for money. AC2 will be mess at release for sure. If they decided to build upon ACC people might stay with AC1 anyway.
Will LFM work with AMS2?
Does GM like AC? I can't tell
Finally someone says the truth about iracing. Thank you
I installed race essentials and activated it in settings under python apps but it doesn't show up. Am I missing something?
go into a practice session or a hotlap and when AC is running and you can drive, move your mouse to the right side of the screen. A menu should come up. The top icon should be All Apps or something like that. If you click that, you should get a list of all the apps and overlays you can enable. You should see and Essentials one. If you click that, it'll pop up on the top, left of the screen and you'll be able to drag it to wherever you want it
I would just usee 'Sidekick' instead if i were you, race essentials was abandoned a long time ago and is very buggy, sidekick is made by the same guy but is updated regularly and works much better.
you need to wait to downshift before the chicane, you're damaging the engine every time :)
I'd love to get into LFM but its pointless from oceania due to ping, really the only thing iRacing has going for it now is local servers and local numbers for me. AUSSIES GET ON LFM
I'm doing fine in New Zealand, ping is high but still able to battle close, even with a starlink connection
not on console :(
I hated the lemans car they used tho
It's woefully mid, both the car and track model. But hey ho. They will no doubt pick better content.
@@SMGMusic14They should use the Reboot Team track. Don’t see why they couldn’t.
@@SMGMusic14oh good cause I thought I screwed up my settings
@@SMGMusic14 LFM likes the mids...... with such great content they could of used in rF2....always mids there and why I use CS now.
Yes the handling felt cheap, my FFB felt broken and the track sent wrong signals, and lets not talk about the San Andreas like graphics
Sadly the hot lap mentality will always be in every sim as long as kids have access to them i thought that's what Forza was for.😂
The only thing I can say is cheating might become a problem
