AC Modding Questions Thread

I was wondering if anybody tried to get something like this effect on any mod using the brake disc glow parameter (if it's even possible)

@chargingcar

Definitely won't work nicely with disc glow though...

Okay absolute modding starter here. I tried to fiddle with a 901 mod floating around on shady russian sites (Suspension was 1:1 copy of RSR 3.0). The physical tyres are placed pretty good according to CM now, but the 3D tyres have huge negative offset in relation to that. How can I fix that? Is that an inherent problem of the ripped 3D? Thanks for any tip!

Is that "aligned to data"? If not, the tyres will get aligned to where they should be according to data

Yes. Looks the same ingame. Or am I misinterpreting the green wheel indicators? What's in the actual physical position, the green circles or the 3D wheel, when the box "align to data" is ticked?

Where can I find good quality mods for AC (newest Steam Version), what are "must haves"?

Why would you feel the need to clarify you're on the "newest Steam Version"?

Suggests that despite being on "newest Steam Version" it maybe wasn't acquired in the most conventional sense

For the newest version of assetto corsa you can go to racedepartment->downloads and then search for hours. If you trust the ratings you can even sort by rating

Ok, are there any "must have" mods in cars?

Generally the most downloaded

Just the first 2 that come to my mind: RSR Dallara F3 and all Ben O'Bro Caterhams....

Everything by A3DR and Aphidgod, Some1's Honda NSX, Shaun Clarke's Ginetta, Lancia Fulvia HF by RSanchezPaz, Jaguar XJ13 by mantasisg, Nissan Primera BTCC by Patrik Marek, Peugeot 504 by x4fab, Shelby Cobra 427 by the_meco. These are just a few that I think are must-haves.

Not cars but absolute must- must-haves: Content Manager by x4fab (just Google it) and "Good & Bad weather suite" by Peter Boese. http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/good-and-bad-weather-suite.19484/

The Lola T70 by @aphidgod is my absolute favourite car in AC, either mod or Kunos. Driving it is just a sublime experience

"Progress", haha... Corrected the XYZ positions of the wheels in 3DSimED, now I've lost textures and transparency

and some weird object on the front now

Bottom line: Better stay away from ripped mods

I think that grey plane is trojan virus

I've been fooling around again in 3ds max but this one's keeping me busy. What's the best method to keep the wheel arch curved while having smoothing groups? (3ds max). Manually adjust afterwards say with a edit poly modifier or a boolean maybe?

Thanks!
