ACC Cockpit View Movement Tool

I've written a little tool that lets you set cockpit view movement settings (e.g. lock to horizon, movement and dashcam factor), PER TRACK.



You generally want Lock To Horizon to be fairly large, to more closely mimic what your visual system does to keep your view stable. But ACC doesn't handle this well for hilly tracks like Mount Panorama, Brands Hatch etc, where a large Lock To Horizon leaves you looking at your dashboard or the ceiling half the time. On hilly tracks, you want a smaller Lock To Horizon.

Also, on quite bumpy tracks, you might want to set Movement to a low value.

This tool lets you save and restore those settings independently for each track.

To use the tool
You probably already have a preferred view setting set up in your game. Run the ACC View Tool, and click the "Load View Settings from Game" button. This will load your game's view settings into the tool. Then I would pick each track from the list in the tool, and click "Save Track Settings", one by one. This will give you default view settings for each track. You only have to do this once.

Then you can go and drive at a hilly track like Mount Panorama, and adjust your view settings to whatever you like for a hilly track. Quit the ACC session. Then go back to the tool, select the Mount Panorama track, and click the "Load View Settings from Game" button, then click "Save Track Settings". This will remember your settings for that track. You can repeat this for whatever track you like, or if you already know your preferred "hilly track" settings, just got an enter them for the hilly tracks, clicking "Save Track Settings" for each track you change.

Then, whenever you want to practice or race at a track, run the view tool, pick your track, and click "Save View Settings to Game", and go and drive with the correct view settings.

You can do this any time while you're in the ACC launcher, just so long as you do it before you go and drive. You can have both programs running at the same time.

For those struggling with too much movement on tracks like Spa or Brands I use dash cam view with 14% for LTH, Movement & DC Factor which seems to be pretty good..

 

Thanks, I am always using very little movement sometimes even 0 and never dash cam just normal cockpit, further more now I use VR and I find sth like 15% LTH and very little movement like 0-10%,
I see that I need to make some more tests to really understand that 3rd setting

 

Thanks... but the download link gives me ACC Setup Tool (ie. PSI change), not ACC View Tool. Is that another tool?

 

It would be great a tool for editing the replay cameras... Could you do that?

 

Thanks - fixed cut & paste error.

 

Lock To Horizon - 0% keeps the car still, while the track bounces around (camera fixed to car). 100% keeps the track still, while the car bounces around.
Movement - only seems to affect pitching of the viewpoint forwards and backwards, under braking and acceleration. This does not seem to affect the amount of vertical car or horizon movement. 0% = no view pitching, 100% = max view pitching.
Dashcam factor is a further % of the Movement, for dashcam view only.

Why doesn't Movement scale the amount the car bounces around? Don't know.
Why is there a separate dashcam view that needs its own dashcam factor? Don't know.
Will magicfr make a Real Head Motion for ACC? Don't know.

 

Wallym - Thanks so much for this software tool!!!

 

I don't think so.

 

I assume it does not work with helmet camera ? I want to get rid or lower the movement of the head.

 

All it does is set Lock To Horizon, Movement and Dashcam Factor to whatever you have set for each track. It won't magically lower the head movement, or anything like that. But if you find some combination of those settings that works for you in helmet view, you can use this tool to remember those settings from track to track.

 

Never knew that you have to set this per track. That's why, when try a new track, I get litte bit sick.

 

This thing is way superseded by Real Head Motion: https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?posts/1126230/

 

This would be great with a per car setting too, especially for seating position! The wind screen and hood height is quite different from car to car. Good job.
