Seperate on board settings for each vehicle

This is a request to support seperate on board settings for each vehicle. As it is currently implemented I have to change the onboard settings when I drive an open wheel vehicle then change again for GT cars. It would be good if we could have separate onboard settings for every vehicle as we do now for FF settings.

Thanks.

 

Hi jjmax,
what do you mean with "onboard settings"?

Edit: ok, got it.
The in-car position that you tune with the app Onboard Settings.
Yes, it would be useful. I wonder if this can be already done using the set driverEyeZ via console, can't remember if that is per car or general.

 

You can change the drivers position and angle view of view in car. Right now the game only supports one setting so you have to change every time for each car to get the best experience. I would like to be able to save a separate view for each car and not one view for all cars.

 

Umm, i dont think thats true? FOV is 1 fits all, but position etc should save for each. Just look in the files where it has all on board setups saved.

 

Nope. I change FOV, pitch, distance from steering wheel and driver height for open wheelers. When I go into a GT car the view is exactly the same as I set for the open wheeler so I have to change it again to better suit the view in a closed cockpit car.

 

Hmm... I dont think its like that for me. Its always perfect. And i go to town with pitch and all. I know FOV is not saved as its "global", but the rest works for me. At least i dont have to change anything.

EDIT: Here is where its saved: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\cars

The files in there for each car you have setup contain:
[DRIVER_EYES_POSITION]
DRIVEREYES=0.33,1.12666,-0.145792

[CAMERA]
ON_BOARD_PITCH_ANGLE=-0.0333057

FOV not accounted for as its global. Maybe you have an issue with the docu&settings/AC folder? Sometimes renaming it and let it rebuild can help. Remember you have to go through all settings again if you do that. And also set on board settings for all cars.

 

I have a view.ini for several cars, maybe the ones I set up.

Look here:
C:\Users\YouruserName\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\cars\

I have a list of cars (folders) and in each of them there is a file called view.ini, with this content:

[DRIVER_EYES_POSITION]
DRIVEREYES=0.35,0.985556,-0.15

[CAMERA]
ON_BOARD_PITCH_ANGLE=0

 

Yes but there's no FOV entry in the file so have to constantly change FOV which means I also need to adjust distance from wheel and pitch.

Or maybe something's gone wrong with my install and the game isn't recording my changes properly.

 

You should not need to change the FOV once you have it correctly. A mathematically correct FOV, from your fixed seat position in real life, sets the virtual image so that the objects on-screen are life-size and realistic. The only thing you should change for each car is the sitting position of the virtual window (your monitor) using the on-board settings.

 

FOV is global. It will change for all cars. And you cant change it and make it stick on track with on board app my friend. You have to change it in the video options. Pitch and placement in space is saved, but never FOV as it will always be the same for all cars when setup in video options. Would i like to change FOV individually for each car? Yeah! Could be nice although i try to stay on the same FOV for accuracy reasons (changin FOV mess with speed feeling and thus can mess with brake points etc). But the seat forward/back/up/down and pitch will save for each car.

 

I would personally like a car-specific FOV to be honest....Screw the "correct" setting (which 99.9% of the time feels really really weird). When I'm driving a kart with a max speed of 100 MPH, it feels like I'm doing 20. So therefore I crank up the FOV to 103 (yes you read it right, 103. Which is far closer to what a human sees anyway, but on a monitor it gets distorted, and I can live with that). But when I get into a G car after that FOV switch, it's all trippy. So setting it back to the "correct" FOV makes it better. But my point is, the type of car can change your perception of the track ingame, and make it look weird, so it'd be good to have a per-car FOV so we can tweak it per car, but not then have to ever do it again

 

^^Indeed. I wrote that i'd like that too. Just that i dont mess with it often.

+1 able to change FOV independently on each car when saving in on board app, please. Thanks!

 

Yes you can change it in the car just look at the onboard settings app. And to be honest I really don't care whether a particular FOV is mathematically correct or not. I just need it to feel right and that changes depending on the car I'm driving. I'm just saying it would make sense to be able to set the view per vehicle as we do with everything else (tires, alignment, suspension, aero, etc...)

 

Lol... You CAN change FOV in the car yes, but not for each car. I thought that was what you talked about? And i think i responded several times that you cant save it for each car. Its GLOBAL. Do you read the comments?

And as i said (read more carefully please) to me its important with correct feel. To ME, and MY driving. What you do - is up to you. And i also think i wrote +1 on individual FOV on cars right above your post. So im even on your side. What more do you want from me?

 

No, my point was to clarify where FOV can be set. You said it was only adjusted in the Graphics settings but that's not true. There is a separate adjustment in the Onboard Settings app. So it is adjustable in car, it just doesn't allow you to set and save separate adjustments for each car.... hence my comment. I'm not challenging your statement, just clarifying how FOV can be set.

 

I use the on board app often so i know its there... You asked for individual FOV and wondered why it wasnt saved. Anyone opening the on board app see the FOV button is there. You dont even need the on board app, just press NUM+ and NUM- to change FOV.

 

Yep, but I'm not on a full keyboard so that's not an option fir me.

 

I didnt think that even mattered mate? I thought you said you change diff FOV on diff cars and it doesnt stick. And it doesnt stick. 1 FOV fits all. You can change it all you like on all 3 places but it will be the same for all. So you have to change it everytime. Im on board with ya though. Would be nice to be able to save all settings for each car.

 

Yeah it doesn't, just that I have to bring out the Onboard Settings app every time I change the view as opposed to simply using the keyboard shortcut because I don't have a full keyboard (on a laptop).
