So is it better to force Aniso in the NIVIDA settings than let the application decide?

It mostly doesn't matter nowadays.
I've read about the af implementation being a bit taxing in AC and sometimes nvidia has better quality but honestly I didn't notice a difference in AC and never in any other game..
Only if a game doesn't have it, it makes a massive difference, obv.

I tested it and then couldn't be bothered to change it back, so I kept it via nvidia

And now the big question! Does this make me go faster?

I'd say seeing something more than 30m away from you might help, yes

@RasmusP I read ‘Sol’ all over the posts here, can you explain what it is? Some kind of weather app or something? Is it useful for me or should I just let it be?

Yes it’s an app that allows you to add and control weather effects. I would highly recommend that you install it at some point but not necessary when you’re starting off.

You do have Custom Shader Patch (CSP) and Content Manager (CM) installed though right? Those are must haves in my book and you would need to have those installed first before you can install SOL.

I hope Edith can answer this!

Yes I can ask Brian how to do that as he has created the Rookie Discord channel.
But on the other hand, it's not problem that you use the standard Assetto Corsa channel.
You only have to stay off this channel if there's an AC race event running.
That is only Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 21.00 - 23.00 CET.

Good to know.

So if (by any chance) tonight around 2000 Uhr (8PM european) a practise session would form spontaniously we could use the AC Discord VC??

That would be my understanding...

Thanks Dominic! Yeh, CM and csp rockin’ and rollin’ here!

Ah, that's a nice little story.

Lol.

Yep

 

[HF2000]

I hope not.

That surprises me! I thought you would be glad to get rid of the Fazzi train!

And here the difference (I feel like an IT noob (because I am):

I don't mind the Fazzi train as long as it's behind me and not in front.

Now you’re talking.

Fun fact: SOL is actually the most downloaded mod for AC here at RD.

If anyone wants to waste spend some time sorting their cars and tracks in Content Manager, I discovered this mod/tweak a couple months ago and it's been a bit of a game changer with sorting. Works with some .json and png files for sorting. I learned as I went and it's not terribly difficult to add your own categories or switch it all up

Sweet! I’m going to check that out.

 

[Alfred Wayne]

It's quick to set up, and easy to revert back to original (backup original folders). Only takes some time if you really start to customize it / go through all your cars and tracks and start tagging/adding info

 

[maxilogan]

I'll take an mx5 please. Think I'm going to return to the ol' stock No 24 black kunos skin. Need a break from the Audi livery after last weeks spin(S)

Took me a second to find the pit exit, but what a fun track!

It literally took me three times to understand where to exit the pits! I'm hopeless

 

[maxilogan]

@HF2000 Mazda for me please. As #24 has been already taken by @Alfred Wayne , pick a number of your choice, I'm not superstitious, or the Aris Oil yellow one.

Thanks!

 

[maxilogan]

Don't know but I highly recommend ContentManager with CSP. Apart from ease of operation, it has great extra functionalities and CSP. With the settings from Rasmus for CSP you have more eye candy without a loss of performance.
I can't remember how vanilla AC looks like anymore.

Yes, @Dzul be kind to yourself and make yourself a present, install CSP and you won't be disappointed!

 

[maxilogan]

I've been practicing with @Allan Ramsbottom and another fellow driver today, and I must say you guys rock. I have to have a look at the replay to understand how to take some corners, I'm few seconds behind and don't know where to find time..

I'm sure lately Han is picking the tracks from some "hardest AC tracks" list that he found somewhere in the deep web

Not really. I'm classifying the tracks that I've tested and this one has 2 on a scale of 5 (5 being the hardest).
