Assetto Corsa Competizione Setup Guide: Part 3 

I had to give a sub on this. Watched all three videos and can say the way u explain it is spot on for helping new comers or those who don't know the technical side of it. Very inciteful and should help alot of the newcomers to sim racing no matter what sim they are playing. Of course for PC u have alot more tools to use for tuning but for consoles these are perfect. Wanna say thank you for the tidbits I didn't understand fully. Keep up the good work.

Guys, just a quick tip, your explanation about ride heights is not correct. Racing cars are as low as possible to the ground to accelerate the airflow passing underneath and it creates a low pressure zone (venturi effect). Running very low also allows a seal of the floor stopping that low pressure from escaping. This is all benefits the rear diffuser as the more, faster charged air you have, works the diffuser harder creating more downforce. This is also efficient downforce as opposed to creating downforce through wings as there is nowhere near the same drag penalty. Cars are not run as low as possible to avoid air passing underneath, creating lift or getting more air onto the rear wing. GT3 cars rely on underbody downforce a lot and it is simulated this way in ACC too.

Awesome teaching, I made notes in every sentence. Great content. Keep it up.

Thanks mate, just watched all three of your beginner videos. Very informative. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺🤝🏻

Best ACC setup video out there hands down. It’s helping me so much! You guys are the best 👊🏼👊🏼

Great overview mate, I have pretty much written down everything you said in the 3 videos ,I then went to create my own set up and the results were unbelievable how you can set car up to suit your style of driving accurately using the tips you given us. Looking forward to more of your vids.

Thanks so much for this setup series. It helped me quite a lot. Cheers from Portugal!

Wow man, thanks for the amazing guide. I watched these videos yesterday and now I can make my own s3tups and amaze people with my on track performance while I'm not good at all. Really helped me with knowing what a car can do and how different cars react to changes. Thanks a lot!!

Extremely grateful to you guys for putting this together. I've known what these settings all do for quite a long time (except for bump stops), but I like hearing different descriptions of their function to further pinpoint what each thing does. These setup guides will be useful not only for ACC, but any racing title with comprehensive car setups. Thank you.

Super series of videos!! Thank you. Made a huge help as I believe I'm finally in a position to actually start to understand it. You just put it into a medium that really works. Thank you.

great series. exactly what I have been looking for!

You have a decent nº of viewers/subs, but you deserve 100 times that. Thank you, instant subbed!

Couldn't be more clear with description, great setup videos.👍

Excellent setup guide serie!

Thank you, what a great guide. Highly appricated 👍🏻

Great content and an excellent guide. Thank you!👍

Again very nice and comprehensive, thanks :)

Thank you so much! I now have 3 pages of notes to absorb. Sub earned

This is amazing for someone like me who just got into the game and was struggling a lot with setups and how the cars behave. Awesome guides man! Have you consider talking about how setups and car balance may change when driving front/middle/back engine cars? the porsche made me freak out trying to tame that beast on corner entries🙃

This guide is quackers 🦆🦆🦆 seriously great guide

Thank you 🙏🏻 new to the game, finally a good explanation video

Just got into this sim and am having a blast!.. Lots of good info here. You sir, got yourself a sub.

When you like just to tweak some basic think in your aggressiv setup for you driving style perfect !

That would be very nice if you do last video in series - case studies on setting up car for example on 2 different tracks :)

Awesome 👏 great video series. + 1 subscriber!

Found these guides helpful, thanks, however I still find the suspension settings confusing, I would love another video going more in depth on those settings, as for everything else though I understand everything more than I did before watching this video, thanks

I cant with that dam duck 😂😂😂

Thanks 😊

Go numbers!!

Check your ride height explanation guys. What you are saying in this video is wrong! A low ride height on a race car isnt used to allow less air under the car. Its used to accelerate the air flow under the car while the air flow over the car remains slower. This creates a low pressure zone under the car, while the pressure over the car remains bigger/gets increased by slowing down the airflow even more through wings, winglets and "fancy stuff". The low pressure area under the car creates a force sucking and the high pressure area over the car creates a force pushing the car to the ground. Thats whats called downforce.

First of all, I was pleased that the explanations for the first two parts were sufficient. Since I don't know English, I watched by turning on the translation option. But in part 3, subtitle translation does not work correctly. That's why this part confused me a lot and I couldn't understand it. What do bumps and rebounds mean?

I think driving games could take a page from the moto gp games on the issue of set up. Most real drivers don't directly change parameters on their setup, they describe their issues to engineers who can then translate the suggestions to discrete setup changes. I don't remember which of the MotoGP games did this but you would simply ask the engineer what you wanted the bike to do and then he would give you a brief summary of the suggested changes and then apply them. Seeing how certain behaviors correspond to certain parameters is a good introduction into conducting setups and encourages more experimentation since you feel more confident that the changes being made are not completely wrong. Once you build up more confidence and see how changes are being made and how different parameters influence each other then you can start tinkering around and fine tuning to perfection. I understand that sim racers are a very peculiar sort but not everyone is trying to get a degree in mechanical engineering just to drive in a game. A little handholding could go a long way into making sim racing games much more accessible and ultimately more popular without sacrificing the depth of customization mechanics.

fantastic set of videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks. It really helps if you dont have the knowlegde

I,ve heard about setting rebound in dampers same or higher than bump in other places too. Yet you find this set the opposite in many default setups or custom setups from fast people. Hows that?

Hi there ...Just wondering how do you set up to talk to friends in acc .... thanks

Higher reboud setting for faster/ stronger decompression, and lower setting for slower decompression? Or vice versa? Im a bit confused

As I have now watched all 3 parts, being a fairly new player, is there a setting i should start with when making a new setup? I heard someone say spring settings but I find it hard to figure out where to start. Thanks!

There's so many settings to choose from, what are the settings I should start with if I'm trying to make a setup? Do I start with tyres first or aero? Or does it not matter?

👍

Would you say that the first thing to setup would be the aero tab? I think I've been ignoring the aero balance and putting too much attention to the mechanical grip and overloading my tires.

Nice Vids explaining all this stuff. I suffer the most 'with what do I start????. Ofcourse yor PSI is the most important but if you change your brake ducts your PSI is also changing. If you find the sweet spot what is next??? For example you have a understeering car in mid corner and exit. With what do you start? Springs, Dampers, Aero????? I always intentionally stay away from dampers and springs because i was a noob and with my old wheel i didn't feel the changing in settings. Perhaps now with the new wheel I can. But Nowhere on the internet there is a guideline how to setup your car. Which steps to follow OR is this just the black magic that you are refering to in the beginning of part 1. Wonder how an engineer will approche this scientific matter 😁. Subcribed to your channel btw. Greetz Shifter.

Helpful?...yes!

1 question, How to know when the car is bottoming out? sounds? vibrations? replays?

The translate is broken, please solved !!

Brake Ducks 🤘

Made it till the end of all the videos more then twice lol . . I’m so lost . I have no hope

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you contradict yourself when saying that the rebound setting (decompression) should always be higher (stiffer) because compressions (bump) always needs to be stiffer than the decompressions (rebound). You say the higher the value, the stiffer it becomes. So something must be wrong here, no?

Damper settings should be so easy but when explained it's a mindfuck haha. absolutely ridicolous.

Sorcery

Safe to say, your veiws dont match the quality of your video's.

All the setup stuff is going to drive you guys mad just drive the car for fun end of story.

Far to much time on your hands
