Been working my way through ACC for a while now, and watched a "lot" of videos. They helped in different ways, and some just messed things up. I came across your calm relaxed informative video, and I have taken away a lot info from series to setups. Thank you, and now subscriber. 😎
Very interesting HD! The number of variables is quite impressive. Definitely on another level when compared to FM. I am now getting a better understanding of the differences between a simulator and a simcade. 😀👍
It can be quite a lot in the beginning, which is why I started with the basics. There are some other differences, but yes you've seen some of the main ones here. 😄
Thank you so much for this! I started following you for your Forza videos but I deleted Forza and transitioned into Iracing and ACC I just can't deal anymore with Forza and it's flaws! I look forward to your Videos about this and other sims
During my trial weekends on ACC, i either used the M4 (i'm **a little bit** of an GT3 M4 fan and hope to get one in 1/43 scale this uear) or, before that, the most recent GT3 bentley (rip bentley GT3 program) and always tore up Zolder (my most local track, also visited it in 2022). Its one of the very few racing games that i know that features this circuit... pretty underrated IMO.
@@porsche911fan2It actually isn’t, the 911 is very good at traction. But it can actually bite and the balance shifts during a stint because of fuel levels in the nose.
This is great! Looking forward to your ACC driving tips! - I would also love to hear maybe your take on technique or philosophy on how to race ACC, vs for example Forza. The differences are obvious at slower speeds, but I’m curious to hear your views on the handling at the upper end of things. My hunch is they get somewhat closer, or, one or the other has a specific thing it likes or dislikes. I’m personally not that fast with ACC but have been trying hard for a few years. As I learn I have a mini epiphanies along the way that tend to unlock the next level of speed. I can’t get the cars up to those top speeds in either game, yet, so the handling feel up there is still somewhat mysterious.. but perhaps the differences you notice will shed some light! Loving your vids - I’ve been a fan since the beginning of FM :)
Thank you so much! 😊 Suprisingly the driving in a lot of the GT Cars in Forza is fairly similar to ACC. I just feel like the cars in ACC are a bit more predictable and generally seem to have a bit more grip. At higher speeds to me it seems that downforce plays a bigger role in ACC or it just does more there. I can't take Eau Rouge at Spa flat in any GT car in FM, while in ACC it's basically all of them.
@@HDeeRacing aha so it sounds like the more complex physics allows for a more gradual transition from in grip to loss of control, maybe 🤓 I know that the air temp, density and humidity is modelled in ACC and that affects the engine performance (ref in one of Aris’s “did you know” vids) so I wouldn’t be surprised if they spent time getting detail into the aero as well, and that could be what you feel. I feel vindicated in that Forza is indeed tricky to drive 😅
Just found your channel, thank you 🙏 Explaining understandable, and in a nice slow pace. Actually the first time I get ANYthing out of watching tutorials. All other content creators are talking so fast, and covering so many topics, all in one video, it is impossible to understand anything 🙈🙃 I’m totally new to ACC, I have exclusively played/driven gran turismo, all of them, from 97, to present. Newer thought I should play ACC. But it actually sunk in ( this time, had it for more than two years without playing, because I didnt even understood the menu’s🙈) I’ll look through your content, and find more usefull stuff, like in this video, thank you again😃 Question: Is it possible to have both, the controller, and the wheel connected at the same time? It would be much easier when you make liveries, and setups, not to do it with the controls on the wheel 🙈
Thank you for the kind words. 😊 To your questions: I haven't tested it, but I think it should be possible, as keyboard and wheel also work at the same time.
Great video I started playing just need for speed a few years ago now I'm getting Logitech g29 and looking for a good game to bring me into sim racing! This should help alot.
As someone completely new to AC/ACC, thank you very much for putting this together. I want to improve my overall skill and understanding and this was a perfect first video.
i need to probably come back to this video a couple times for the next while, i just recently got my first wheel, (yes its a G29 but im on PS5) and im currently just getting to grips with it after about 450-500 hours of playtime on controller throughout assorted different games. im more posting this because if anybody else has some tips that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, I am on day 2 of my ACC journey so very new and wow I finished my first race last night after crashing many times and restarting and figurring out the pit stop. I knew Sim racing would be a level above GT and Forza etc but no its about 100 levels up and its very very kool. I was going to use the BMW but it wasn't available I assume becasue I am in career so I went with the Porsche, I feel its going to be a tougher car to master but has it benefits perhaps in the overtaking and late breaking from my very small amount of play time. When moving away from career do you really think its worth me dropping the Porsche for the BMW? I have a very basic wheel set up
I paid 10£ for pro setups for my car Times are from monza online lobbies during races not qual No setup 1.53-1.55 My setup after hrs of videos etc 1.50-1.52 Pro setup 1.48-1.50 Car is the bentley. Im getting a loadcell brake this week heres hoping for 1.47s
I haven't, but maybe this still helps you: Apart from wheel settings (on the wheel and ingame), increasing the car's caster in the setup can increase FFB strength and feel. Maybe give it a try, as most meta setups run max caster on almost all cars.
I don't own a console, so no, I'm playing on PC. Runs way better than FM, as I can run higher settings and get 80-100 FPS while recording instead of struggling for 60. 🙈
@@HDeeRacing ah cool thanks for replying man..guess I need to just take the plunge! ACC looks so good 👍 keep up the good work too, really like your videos and your Forza tunes are great (especially the MG on Touring Car, that's our secret though haha)
AC is more varied with a lot of things to do and all sorts of cars, if you are willing to look into mods and plugins. ACC just works out of the box and is way more focused on GT racing.
My pressures and brakes are good, but my tires are not getting warm. I would say my aggressiveness on tires is good anough, but still cant warm them up properly. How do i get more heat into the tires?
Depends on the conditions. If it's not very warm, than getting heat into the tires might be very difficult. You can try to close the brake ducts more and have more heat in the brakes. As long as they don't get too hot (red), you can get a little more heat from that. With lower ambient temps it's sometimes just a "deal with it" situation, as long as you're pressures are fine.
can someone help me. When I shift gears and accelerate, the car does nothing, I can steer but not accelerate. When I press my accelerator the bar turns green. can someone help me?
I’m playing on Xbox, I did purchase a DLC pack with gt2 cars and British championship cars but I can’t get any cars made after 2020. I see PC players driving the new M4 and new Ferraris, why dont they offer console players the opportunity to purchase/download new model cars? I just don’t understand why PC get all these special features and console players don’t
@@HDeeRacing I think there was only like 3 DLC’s available and I bought 2 of them. I gotta go back and see what the 3rd one was maybe I missed it. I haven’t played the game much I’m very disappointed in the lack of FFB I feel on my Logitech g923 while playing the game, yes it’s not the best wheel but for the most part it’s been awesome on other games. I tweaked the settings, I asked other sim racers with more experience on Reddit to help and watched hours of RU-vid videos but my FFB is such shit my wheel is extremely loose and I really wanna continue playing but it just feels wrong
@@HDeeRacing it isn’t registering properly, the amount of pressure you have to apply to brake is really high. I did google it to make sure it wasn’t just me but it may be an old issue and I just haven’t changed a certain setting?
That’s a bummer, but A bunch of people in my league use that wheel and don’t have issues. (Or have solved them;) Perhaps try updating the firmware? Could also try resetting to your settings to default (screenshot current to go back) - maybe there’s one that flew under the radar, or got wonked in one of the updates. Hope you figure it out because that wheel has a decent track record with acc.
@@chocolateeteapot you have to adjust the max brake pressure in the acc settings, i have mine read at 80ish percent so that i don’t have to bottom out my pedal to brake
