Damage model

and you can set it to be shown only for 1 second (which is long enough) ..

 

@cooknn @Patrik Marek
Does one of you know how to make the pitgraphic dissapear that shows up if you drive in the box during a race?

 

Although I like the implementation of damage, it makes public racing even worse.
Literally every race start ended with some sort of bodywork/suspension damage for me.

This had me thinking, on what is the damage based in multiplayer ? Is this done per server, so that everyone has the equal damage setting, or does it take your personal damage settings ?
If it's the second this would mean that I for example get damaged on impact, while someone else doesn't because he has damage turned off ?

It would seem logical that it's set up per server, but somehow it seems that I am always heavily damaged while the others can just drive on.

 

This is AC forum and you were replying on a comment about AC damage model. Other games discussion is off-topic.

 

i don`t think discussing other games in relation to AC is off topic .. we all probably have experiences with other sims and it is absolutly legit to compare and have expectations based on other games ..

It is definitely less off topic than this post or your post

 

The other night, I blew the engine in my e30 less than 200m from the finish line at Trento-Bondone.
Aside from the loss of 13 minutes of driving, that seriously made me happy. Big time.

But, my car shouldn't have made it that far in the first place because I smashed into quite a few guardrails on the way up. Some at a pretty fast pace.
I should have lost wheels/body panels/etc, and I think that the damage model should reflect that. We're shooting for "sim" here, right?

I'm inclined to believe that Kunos is still in the early stages of developing the damage model, and we'll see some improvements.

 

See video at 5m 45s for this. He calls it an urban myth that other companies use so they don't have to do a damage model. They can't do things like show blood or decapitated bodies.

 

No.. But he dodged the argument by referring to other games which was completely irrelevant to my post for example. And previous post was the video interview with Stefano which busted the myth anyway about AC.

 

c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\system\cfg\damage_displayer.ini
[MAIN]
TIME=4
MAX_DAMAGE_KMH=60
POSITION_X=20
DISTANCE_FROM_CENTER_Y=-200

If you alter 60 to a higher figure that may stop the indicator from showing on screen. Don't know haven't tried it yet.

 

Aero damage counts for nothing is not true. Unless something went nuts in the latest build. Through out beta testing when my wing went broken i couldnt take corners as fast as when it was tip top. I will check now as i havent had much time last days, but it is in fact coded in and is supposed to have a negative effect on steering when wings are damaged. Some tests and bug reporting should do the trick if its not working.

 

When damage was mistakingly released some months ago, after a front impact the bonnet would move about and come slightly loose. I trashed a z4 last night, but the body panels all stayed in situ...?

 

Good question, judging by this:

Edit: damage multiplier at the bottom, so it should be forced by the look of it

 

So you believe that because other games signed restrictions on damage model, that has anything to do with AC damage model (we discuss here) which didn't sign any restriction?

 

and what if you change time to 0 ? right now I have it set to

not what I wrote, but since you`re asking .. ..
i think, fact that Kunos did or didn`t sign agreement about level of visual destruction of cars has nothing to do with current state of a damage model .. and I think Kunos just didn`t have time to finish it and what we have now is just a scatch of where they are going ... and cause there is no repairing implemented cars are pretty durable ... no point of having proper damage if there is nothing you can do about it .. but I could be and I probably am absolutely wrong.

For me visual damage is not that important (I`m fine with visual damage let say in GTR Evo .. you can lose aero, some body parts, wheel .. simple, easy to implement and does the job letting you know what happend) More important for me is to now that if I did damage my radiator, my engine will overheat and I need to pit or keep revs lower till I can pit or finnish, if I damage my aero, I will have less downforce and I need to be carfull and decide if I`m willing to spend time in pits or I can finnish race, and so on with other types of damage ..

Second part of it is letting me know what kind and how serious damage I have (wheter it is voice of a guy from pits or less expensive option due MOTEC display or some HUD info panel

 

I'm happy with the visual damage as is, just more for heavy impacts. You seem to get quite heavy panel damage from a bit of door handling then nothing more happens if I hit an Armco rail at 100mph.

As you say, they just need to move the damage occurrence upwards and then make the engine fail after heavy impacts.

 

There should be more consequences if you totally wreck your front, back and sides.. Currently it's maybe just a slight decrease in downforce.

 

It is supposed to be more than slight. Was during testing. I couldnt steer the car at all at high speeds where prior to the damage i could take the same corner with max speed.

Just report things that are out of place and im sure Kunos look into it.

 

I will try to reproduce this 'no damage' bug....what car/track combo is this happening in and in what game mode? (please don't say MP)

 

I have heard that Ctrl+Q works also.

EDIT: Yep, it works.

 

I believe that different cars have different damage models.
