Misc Advanced Gamepad Assist 1.5.4

Any chance of an ABS option?

Wdym?

Wdym?

Probably should've explained a little better

Sometimes cars on AC have broken ABS (even with ABS turned on in content manager), so like what you did with the auto clutch and the auto and manual shifting options, would you consider implementing an ABS option for the assist as well?

If that's the case then drivers on a wheel would also have broken ABS in those cars, so fixing it for controller users would be a bit unfair, considering they might be racing in the same lobbies.
There is a brake helper feature if you drive on keyboard, but that's only there because otherwise cars with no ABS would be impossible to use on keyboard, so that one is fair enough. Plus the vanilla game already does something similar to keyboard anyway.
Basically I just don't want to add anything that I feel might be an unfair advantage in a race.

It's a good tool. But I'm not getting any FFB on my Xinput device. Any suggestions?

It's only adding trigger vibration specifically, so if your device doesn't support that then you'll only have the default vibrations from AC. But if you do have trigger motors then try turning off Steam input to make them work.

The app installs fine, everything is in its right place, the app works as I can see the wheel calibrating on track load, but I can't see the app in the sidebar and can't tweak anything ingame as I don't see the app. Any advice?

Did you try using the search bar?

 

[Curratum]

I did, yeah, I don't have enough apps to push yours out of the visible sidebar too.

Just tried dropping the mod in \mods and installing using Content > Mods in CM, no dice.
The app works and the wheel calibrates and everything is in effect, but no config app in sidebar.

Will there be an option to force Automatic Clutch on all cars? Sometimes, it just disappears on cars that doesn't do this by default and it gives me with no control for clutch

Semi-automatic cars don't have a clutch input at all, can't do anything about that

Would it be possible to have a mode for automatic shifting that shifts at redline every time instead of shifting at the optimal RPM range?

Not sure why you would shift there, so I don't want to add that. But the default auto shifting in AC always shifts at a fixed RPM that's specified in the car's files, and many cars will use the redline for that, so I think the default mode is the closest thing you can try.

Some cars have very low shifting points, like some of the vanilla BMW's. I know it's the best shifting range available for that gear but it would've been cool to have the car reach its
redline in all the gears. I'm saying this because default shifting doesn't work too well on many cars either, and is one of the reason i downloaded this plugin in the first place.

I don't think 99% of people would want this, so it would be just another option that people misunderstand or switch over by mistake or whatever. I have to keep the user experience in mind, so I don't usually add things aren't useful for enough people.
My algorithm always shifts in a way that gives you the best possible performance. If it shifts early, that's because the power drops off way too much near the end, and you would lose time by revving that high. I guess it would sound cooler, but I'm not adding a mode just for that. You can always use manual if you want to rev the engine in a different way, but my automatic will always prioritize acceleration.

Could you at least tell me how would i go in making it myself? I clearly understood you don't plan in adding said feature, but if you could tell me how to "play unoptimally" it'd be helpful. Otherwise, no biggie. It doesn't change in the slightest what i think about the plugin nor it'd push me towards making a negative review or anything of the sort.

Also, I'm pretty sure other users have pointed out, but both manual and auto plugins don't work at all with some car mods

If you wanna do it yourself you can edit line 232 in CarPerformanceData.lua from this:
upshiftRPM = math.min(bestUpshiftRPM, maxShiftRPM)
... to this:
upshiftRPM = maxShiftRPM

As for issues that people report, those things are either not broken for me when I test them, or if they are then they get fixed in the next update. So if you have a specific mod car or something that doesn't work, let me know and I'll look into it.

Is it possible to make the left/right trigger feedbeck work with a dualsense controller?

It is, but I would need a dualsense myself to be able to add that.

great mod. but there's one small issue i noticed with the v1.5.2. for some reason, the vibrations seem to not work as intended when I'm using it with my 8bido Ultimate controller. with other scripts, the vibrations work on brake and accelaration. but with this, it seems to just be at a constant vibration rate. and once you pause and unpause, the vibration is completely gone. would be cool to get a fix for this
