ACC version 1.9 - Tyre physics - Assetto Corsa Competizione 

The base aggressive setups will usually get you within 1 - 1.5 seconds of the alien times. The default setups really aren't bad (at least in 1.8)

@@jordannixon4138 They work, but could be better. I would like if they took some inspiration from the pro community and inched up on the faster setups with at least the aggressive ones. They are mostly understeery. Aggressive setups should be the safe setups ;)

Skill issue

@@googlexd7294”skill issue”? Genius. You must have a very high IQ. I don’t know how you figured it out. Was it because OP suggested changing the stock setups for new players? Is that how you figured out there is a skill issue?? I would have never guessed that a new player would have an issue with skill. Thankfully you came here to add this in depth analysis of OPs comment. We can all relax knowing there are very smart people like you willing to share their knowledge.

@@joebeezy9471 👍

Absolutely! This is a big miss in ACC. The ideal values for each tyre (WET/DRY) and class (GT3, GT4, ...) should be available in the UI. Also, it'd be helpful if they showed what each engine map does for each car. I know the info is available online but, c'mon, it should be in game.

Well you have the 3 split tyres in the HUD. Perfect PSI are when the middle part has the same height as the outside splits or very slightly higher.

We should not worry about tyre pressure at all. At which series a driver is worried and sets up if the tyre is in optimal psi range? I'm not talking about fixed tyre psi. We can of course adjust it to our liking but we should not worry if it's in optimal range. Same for fuel load.. I don't think in any series a team would allow a driver to go with less fuel than needed, or full race fuel for qualifying

@@Habixus Sure, but they could say ideal PSI numerically as recommended by Pirelli on the setup screen anyway

@@DavidAguileraMoncusi Yeah not arguing against it. I'd like to have more bits of information in the UI! It just seemed that Whippy had no idea how to dial in the correct PSI from the help of the HUD.

@@danielettrico Where did You have that info?

You know, that there can be a 1.10 ... 1.11 ... 1.34 etc.? 🙃

Do you plat ACC online on PS5? Is there a good number of players to race online?

Thanks

Because you're combining it with camber

Yes! There are cars which are not raceable in VR due to lack of or horrible mirror. :(

Regarding the virtual mirror in VR I can't say anything, but regarding number of visible mirros and FOV of mirrors, there won't be any change. The mirrors are not calculated with real FOV, it is just one render for all mirrors and it is applied as texture.That's it. That's why there is no performance gain if you turn off 1 or 2 mirrors out of 3 and why there is no need to turn off single mirrors. And also that's why you can't adjust mirror angle at the car, because it wouldn't affect the viewing angle.

I'm scratching my head about the same thing

It was 27.5, he just mistalked there which happen to all of us because it’s not a scripted talk. 26.5 psi is for the new tyre the average like on the picture 26-27 psi.

It was 27.7

@@bmwM3M5M6 not a mistalk - 26.5 was written on the slides. Glad to know it's apparently a typo, though. Or is it!?

As Aris mentioned though & others that already responded, V1.8 was 27.5-27.7 psi hot (Dry) the new tire model has a much wider range now which is why the display is saying 26-27 psi, so now depending on your setup anything in that range is now optimal

Usually 3.4 months

Neg toe is still a thing.

@@leohoosk Really? I didn't know /s How do you think that helps anybody?

@@Orvieta Just watch or listen to the whole video. You will get the gist in the first hour.

@@namesii1880 I have an hour simracing, or making a setup, not listening to a video, no matter how much I appreciate Aris his input. Is that really so hard to understand?

@@Orvieta Well okay, you will not know the context, and i don't see how you can't even listen to it while doing anything else. But the important parts are: Cars will have more rotation on even default setups. And current meta setups will be a dead end. You will have more options when making a setup, opposed to maxing out sliders.

Physics update yes

Tyres are more dynamic and their operating window (both in pressure and temperature) are wider. Their physics have also been improved: they used to calculate one value per tyre (one pressure, one temperature, etc) at 400Hz - they now calculate 5 values per tyre. This should result in more realistic tyre behavior. Finally, tyre setup has now a bigger influence on car dynamics (like rotation)

@@DavidAguileraMoncusi Thank you!

So since there’s a wider range of optimal tire pressure. Can we say this will make it easier to get it right?

@@willy08bm I would say it is more difficult, but you can fine tune the car more, just with tire pressure and temperature.

The term "release date" typically refers to the date on which a product or service is made available for public use or consumption. For example, in the entertainment industry, a movie's release date is the date on which it is first shown in theaters or made available for streaming or purchase. Similarly, in the video game industry, a game's release date is the date on which it is first made available for purchase or download. Release dates can be highly anticipated by fans and consumers, and are often accompanied by marketing campaigns and promotional materials to build excitement and generate buzz. They can also be subject to delays or changes, depending on various factors such as production schedules, marketing strategies, and external events or circumstances. In some industries, such as software development, the term "release date" may refer to the date on which a new version or update of a product is released to the public. This can involve testing and quality assurance processes to ensure that the new release is stable, functional, and compatible with existing systems and devices. Overall, the release date is a key milestone in the development and distribution of a product or service, marking the moment when it becomes available to the wider world.

Let's hope that they were able to split this into multiple threads. You can't calculate chassis flex before the suspension calculations are done and they need to first get the results from the tyres. But I'd say you could calculate each tyre in parallel and then merge it into a single thread again.

@@Habixus Parallell threads should work. Tire temperature/pressure parameters change slowly compared to the rest you mentioned ( suspension/chassis), so even if they are asynchronously calculated with regular intervals in parallell threads and updated, say 10-20 times per second, it should be close enough to real time and not take much CPU at all. These parameters behave like constants in contrast to the real time physics of damper speeds, chassis forces, tire deformation and flex etc. that all need to be updated at a high rate to not smooth over and mask realistic behaviour where for example hitting a curb att 200 km/h requires a lot of detail to present correct driving dynamics and feedback. In games some things can be parallellized and other stuff not without breaking the game. I'm no expert on this stuff, and it's possible that all different parts of physics can be parallellized at such low rates as only hundreds of Hz. I can't say. But it's safe to say that the high rate part of physics are the hardest to optimize and puts the most load on the CPU and that not all parts of the physics need to be updated at 400 Hz. Say for example track temperature, which probably is updated a few times per minute only and higher rate give no benefits.

Just use motec when back in the box. The purpose is to simulate the driving experience not to play a racing game like some other titles do.

ACC Drive app provides a similar widget

How realistic is that actually?

What does this mean?

@@Davids6994 All previously bought setups are now useless because the meta changed.

@@oskjan1 Usually they include one year of updates so it won't last long.

Maybe you should actually try to understand what was talked about and shown.
