Idea: Setup Packs

[Nick Nothom]

Downloading setups one by one is time consuming. What if someone were to package together all of the setups for each car into an RAR file that could be extracted into your directory, so that they filtered into the correct folders? Each of the setups would be appropriately named so that in game you had an idea what it was for. Name it something like Nurb_GP_HOT_creatorname. I think we can assume that if someone is posting a setup, they are okay with it being distributed. (mod-edit: actually no you can't assume that)

There could also be a weekly RAR that had the "best" setups of the week on it.

Thoughts?

If this is possible, that would be a Godsend thing, for me who knows nothing about set up and have a little to no free time at all!!!

Not knowing anything about setups is a choice. You can also make a choice to become a starter or pro by doing some reading on the subject.

This setup guide is a good start to understand the behaviour of a car http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/assetto-corsa-car-setup-guide.83493/

Nice guide! I'll print this and study it at my next holidays!!! (or when I'll get to pension in approx 20 years from now, when I'll have plenty of free time)

Awesome Bram! I also kinda hope for a official "aris setup pack"

Not knowing anything about setups is a choice.

Of course it is a choice, but for some of us the choice is between spending time learning about setting up each car for each track and race type and then testing to see how it behaves, or spending some of our spare time with our family

I agree that it is good to know the basics of car setup to understand how they behave and be able to tune them for your individual driving style, but it would take a significant amount of time to tweak each car, track, and race combination in AC, so having a good suggested setup pack for each car and track combination would be really useful

It's better to wait for a final version of the game ! a setup that "works" today on some car can become useless on the next update ! i believe they're still working on physics !
