I'm getting these errors every time I try to start a race in Assetto Corsa and then it kicks me out to the main menu. Any ideas?





Go to your documents folder and open Assettocorsa/cfg/video.cfg and change aa samples from zero to one. I was getting the same error a while back when I was dicking with my oculus rift settings.

In regards to the RBR copy from gamesplanet, is that just a copy of the original disc or does it incorporate the latest patches?

It is just a copy of the games disc hence my linking to the official patches which you can only really find through racedepartment. The rsrbr2015 includes the patches, but if your goal is just vanilla rbr then you're gonna have to hunt them down like I did.

Also I guess this is the best place to ask, if I were to say build a cockpit out of PVC, where the hell do I find a seat for that? Is it just a cheap racing seat with a cheap cover thrown over it or is there something I'm missing here because even the cheap seat options seem kind of pricey.

Hey gut bomb, in travelling now, but I fully exported maple valley and processed all the road meshes for ac. The only thing left to do is finish uv mapping nonroad textures and then using the cap ac editor to assign shaders. Hit me up and let's coordinate on irc. I think coja even drove it.

I'm laughing my rear end off. The g29 appears to be indentical to the g27, but really ugly, shifter removed and it will cost a whopping $534 in Sweden + $79 for the shifter. Meanwhile I got my g27 six months ago for $240, shifter and all. Well done Logitech, not only did you raise the price, but the customer also gets less.

I bet they came up with the price by looking at the competition like fanatec and figuring they needed to close that gap, because gently caress it, gears are as good as belts.

Yes, I did it. The csw is amazing. If you can't afford an actual direct drive wheel, it is a must get.

I tried cranking up the ffb on the csw V2 just to see what 11 feels like. It has enough torque to gently caress you up. I'm sure direct drive wheels are great, but gently caress having to set up a massive servo driver, power supply, and emergency cutoff button.

Looks like the Accuforce is the worse of the three DD wheels he tested. The guys he had on seem to like the OSW and Bodnar wheel better.

Not a surprise that a stepper motor is not as good as a servo. Steppers are open loop controlled whereas servos are closed loop. In simpler terms, you send a pulse to a stepper and the stepper can't communicate back to the motor driver to say whether it completed the rotation (or overshot it) as requested by the driving pulse.

Steppers are good for the price for bigger movements, but they have a tendency to start drifting with lots of little movements. I assume that the second plug on the sim experience is for some sort of encoder, but that is still gonna be dogshit when compared to a properly controlled closed loop servo.

I don't think fanatec understands black friday sales as they only sell things they want to get rid of. Last year it was CSL seats as I assume they weren't selling well. They can barely keep production going anyway, so it's hard for them to have a sale. Expect to see old porsche based wheels this year probably.

I snagged the BMW/F1 rim combo which all told is really super tits since swapping out between a round rim and an F1 rim was a thing I didn't know I wanted in life.

Thanks dudes, I have friends with Pcars so that's a factor as the multiplayer in AC is loving atrocious. I might wait a while though and buy after the big patch, seeing as I've missed the Steam sale.

The having friends and multiplayer is where the selling point lies. For all of its physics and ffb warts, right clicking on a dude on steam and joining up is worth it considering the PhD degree you need to not only launch multiplayer, but to change settings once your team is together.

Reiza Simracing Bonanza Update 2:

Due to some confusion regarding what "access to beta builds" refer to, we have elected to make some additions which will add value to backers from all levels from 2 upwards - they are:

Levels 2, 3 & 4 will now grant backers early access to upcoming beta builds of Stock Car Extreme & Formula Truck 2013, (provided already have the games or elect to get them within your perk level);

Levels 5 and upwards (except for level 10) will grant early access to beta builds of Stock Car Extreme & Formula Truck, AND also for the next game (Q4 2016).

We cannot edit the perks to include the new info since the campaign is already in progress, so please take this under consideration when making your contribution.

The F1 rim is much lighter, so it reacts quicker and more precise to FFB signals because the motor has to deal with less inertia. One the graphs it's quite a difference although I don't know how much of that translates into the real world (I'll find out as soon as the F1 rim goes on sale). If you're not big on MY IMMERSION (unlike me), it might just be easier to forgoe switching rims and just leave the - technically - better option on.

I have both a BMW and f1 rim, and the difference is not all that crazy. Granted that rotational inertia is a function of mass and object radius, it is just then when rallying I grab the wheel is so many crazy ways it ain't funny. Also one handing in excess of 270 degree cars with the f1 rim is going to lead to a broken finger on my end one day.

They did not budge during the steam summer sale, so it is what it is. Given their recent crowd funding thing, I doubt they will drop the price so the donating spergs don't get mad.
