Opinions on ACFL2016 mod?

Helmut Skrdla · Jul 17, 2016

Hi all,

I wonder how many here are using the ACFL2016 mod (Formula One 2016, League Physics with different car models). Seems there will be an update to include the extended ERS settings that Kunos implemented for the SFT-15 as well as the DRS LEDs (in zone and activated) and otherwise updated cockpit/steering wheel readouts.

They are also planning an "offline" version with aero and power adapted per real life for each team.

To me this seems too good to be true - their website and forums are mostly in French, so I don't get what the people there are saying. Is anyone familiar with them and has some insights?

Sidenote: I didn't get to download the update and test yet - is DRS detection now supported in 1.7.1? Meaning less than 1s gap during race?

Stealing other's data is better than nothing ?

But if this continues and people see that their work is being stolen, without anyone doing anything ... you will really end up with nothing.

Shocking. Embarrassed to say I bought this mod although I can't remember actually driving any of the cars. Sorry guys. Lesson learned. Perhaps a donation is in order.

Yeah, sorry to hear that, had I know I wouldn't have paid for it. Maybe Kunos should put the hammer down on them?

Sidenote: does anyone know what's Kunos policy is on reusing physics from them for FREE mods? ISI never seemed to mind. Of course proper credit given, no money made from it etc.

I contacted the AC support on the official forum, but they don´t seem to mind, no reply yet.

You´re not allowed to extract any data from .acd´s at all, let alone use them on mods.

8. Copyright violation
Extracting, decrypting and/or converting cars, tracks, objects and any other copyrighted content from Assetto Corsa and/or any other software, even talking about that, without the permission of the author is strictly prohibited and subject to infraction. The rule is also applied to a mod made from scratch but related to another mod that breaks this rule (e.g. a sound mod made for an illegally converted car).

Thanks Mike.

Shame about the ruling on "free" mods, as it seems they shoot themselves in the foot here. In reality I think most modders learn from exsisting data... - compared to ISI who even shares tire models with the community this is a bit odd.

I don't quite get what you claim to be right about based on the post you linked. Needs a bit more explanation.

people claim its worth the money, I claim it isn't because I know it isn't and there you go, just as I thought, they're a bunch of scammers.

Your post reads as "It's a mod for Assetto Corsa - therefore it's not worth the money" - at least that's my impression.

regardless, I don't support unlicensed content by paying for it, whether it has a made up name or not.

Nope he's right, your post was confusing.
You need to improve your English.

Anyway, I see that I was right too.
Using the SF-15T with different skins will result in a better F1 experience than using this mod. lol
