Assetto Corsa Comp SRO ACC Sprint Series 1 (of 4)

Thanks for the pointers, that should work out then !

 

Update 2.9 gb. Many specs added.

 

Hmmm stuck doing update, might end up missing this one.

 

All I wanted for this one was a race without incidents, even finishing last. Only managed to finish last.
Lost the start and started from pits... lost over a minute before the race even started. Raced alone for the rest of those 45 minutes, never saw other car on track. How was the race for you, by the way?
Comparing my pace with the other guys, it wasn't bad at all, since I was running the same laptimes as Taner at the end.


By the way, this series was completely forgettable for me... 3 discos in Monza, punted twice and DQ in Nürburgring, punted again in Brands and now this...

 

The update must have reset my graphics settings all to Epic, did not notice any difference in practice or qualifying but when the race started my frame rate dipped real low near the end of the lap. I went to the pits and through the options menu turned down the graphics settings but the fun had gone, hope the rest of you had a good race.
The livery editor is excellent

 

I hate updates at raceday ... and that fast corner before the final chicane.
The real speed was gone after the update but the setup still felt decent so I did not make any late changes. I started second and managed to stick with Bonner in the opening laps. In lap 3 or 4 he had a bad run coming out of eau rouge and while he almost started mowing the lawn at the left side of Kemmel straight I was able to overtake him. After that I managed to break away a little until I left it in a gear too high after shifting back at the end of Kemmel straight almost losing the rear. Tanner was a lot closer now and I could no longer break away from him. We entered the pits at the same lap. I was very proud that I remembered to tick the 'change tires' box. 30 seconds later I went all Tourettes after realising I didn't untick the 'change brakes' box.
I came out in 4th behind my teammate and decided to cruise to the finish only to let my guard down and lose the car before the final chicane... twice.
This game is good, really good. But oh, it is a hard learning school...
On a positive note: I didn't spun anyone around, beside myself... twice.
Congrats to Tanner for the win and to Alex for taking the championship.
Thnx at Rob for hosting. ( small tip: select track status 'fast' for practise session as the green status is not representative for grip levels at raceday, which makes it useless and might prevent people from practising online.

 

I felt positive changes after update. Bentley is more stabile on the kerbs. I used the kerbs more than the old version of the sim. The breaks are more effective.
As the race; I think I set everything well in the track and the pit; so car run well. I only did not predict the temperature decrease so quick. It would be better to clear the sim race time, so we can predict the temperature.
I follow Tim closely around 2 seconds range. As soon as He pitted, I dived too. Then the stroy he explained anyway. After the pit, I kept 20 seconds with 2.p. So, saw the chequered flag.
Congratulations Alex for taking the trophy : )

 

This was my very first time online with ACC !

The fact VR was totally broken was not great. But I reverted my oculus software and firmware, made sure it would not update by configuring the firewall and that did the trick.

I tried the Lamborghini first, that didn't suit me too well, then tried the Mercedes. The sim completely freezes when I leave the session by the way. Even task manager won't show up. I have to ctrl-alt-del and sign out. I will check my game files for this. Just went with aggressive setup. Are these setups generic setups or are they different for each track ?

What I didn't know was that you had tire sets in ACC .. I have done practice, qualifying and race start on the same set and I had no grip at all at Blanchimont on lap 1. I have scraped the tires quite a few tires during practice too. Unless I am mistaken the wear remains between the sessions I guess ? As I thought this wasn't possible to have such limited grip during the race I pitted quite soon and chose tire set 4 in the MFD. That worked a lot better Almost made it to the end, was hit from behind pretty hard and that sent my car in the barriers, suspension completely broken.

I don't care much about the race itself, I wanted to see how well it worked.

- Immersion is great
- Rob's car was jumping left-right all the time (low ping?)
- VR graphics are a bit blurry, known issue with ACC, I prefer AC a lot more in this regard
- VR smoothness is something I have to look into, throws me off a bit sometime but overall it was pretty smooth
- I have to get used to the physics a bit in corners like Blanchimont or Pouhon
- I have no clue about a lof of things like tire temps / pressure, refueling (I just started with 90 liters), setup etc

I'll try to join the next series if the time/date fits.

 

I was just doing some practice with the Mercedes on Spa I drove yesterday, this time with fresh tires. And I noticed once the time hit 21:00, the VR started to be less fluid. It's also the time the sun seems to go down. It was very smooth before and a lot less so afterwards. I think I noticed the same during the race yesterday. Once it's dark it seemed more fluid.

Down to 1.20.1 by the way with more to come

 

Sorry guys I totally forgot.

See you for round 2.
