installing ac compi now

i'm not sure if we're playing ACC or AC yet, so i'd hold off until it's confirmed.

[uni]

I am going to make the executive decision of going with Assetto Corsa and not Assetto Corsa Compteitionzone

The reasoning for this is the variety of cars available in AC as opposed to ACC. ACC it's all supped up track cars and doing the same type of car each week might be a little boring and less competitive. Instead, if we go with AC, we can raise a variety of stuff from Go Karts to Ferrari's.

For those that do not have AC already, it's in the Steam sale for £3.09 or the ultimate edition that has a bunch of DLC cars for £6.06, it can found here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/244210/Assetto_Corsa/

If you already own AC and are unsure if you own AC standard or Ultimate, if you check the bundle info https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/6998/Assetto_Corsa_Ultimate_Edition/ here it will say "In library" if you already own it.

As rabble has pointed out on IRC, https://acstuff.ru/app/ is useful for some additional features so i'd recommed grabbing that as well.

Suggest praga 1 on the highlands map for one of the events. for an easy track 1 week.

@uni - how are we looking? When can we get started

[uni]

We are looking to start on the 3rd April and the schedule will be this:

* Week 1 - 03/04/2023 - 09/04/2023
* Week 2 - 10/04/2023 - 16/04/2023
* Week 3 - 17/04/2023 - 23/04/2023
* Week 4 - 24/04/2023 - 30/04/2023

Cars and tracks for 3 of the 4 weeks picked, waiting on the last person I asked to pick to provide me with their choice.

The first track and car will be a standard car and track. We have some custom cars and tracks picked for other weeks. I will contact Whitey to discuss getting them added to the server.

I will provide more details on the FIRST car and track Sunday as I am away tomorrow until late Saturday night.

For the custom cars, if people could download and install: https://acstuff.ru/app/ it makes it much easier. I will provide full instructions and links for install the custom cars and tracks closer to the time.

Edited unis post re dates!

Looks good chaps.

[uni]

haha thanks for updating. I was doing it in a rush before heading away for a few days, that'll teach me.

Please see this Google sheet for information on the cars, tracks, links where necessary, instructions for installing custom content.

The server should record everyones times and we should be able to see them at the end of the week. But, as a precaution, if you are playing on the server and you finish a session for the day, grab a screenshot of your best time and save it. At the end of the week (or whenever you are done for the week) please post the image into the spreadsheet with your name clearly visible into the corresponding weeks sheet.

It is up to you to enter your best time!

The screenshot is just for proof as I don't want to have to go through everyones images on a Sunday evening and enter it myself.

All times to be entered by 6pm on the Sunday please to allow enough time.

The server will swap to the new car and track on the Monday after.

If I have missed you out of the list of participants, please add yourself to the overview and each week you are taking part in.

I can't edit last post but one last thing.

Rabble has set up some very handy feature that enables a live view of the server: http://ogp.deadmengaming.co.uk:10100/ac/event/1/live

It will show current car, track, best time and by who, cheers rabs!

I asked Whitey to set it up for me, so be sure to thank him!

[MichaelOrvis]

Awesome. Race on!!!

[MichaelOrvis]

Great car/track combo. Would be good to see more on and trying to improve. Open offer, I am very happy to offer some basic advice on lines, braking points and any knowledge I know.
