1. Do you need support for Assetto Corsa Competizione? Please use the proper forum below and ALWAYS zip and attach the WHOLE "Logs" folder in your c:\users\*youruser*\AppData\Local\AC2\Saved. The "AppData" folder is hidden by default, check "Hidden items" in your Windows view properties. If you report a crash, ALWAYS zip and attach the WHOLE "Crashes" folder in the same directory. Do not post "I have the same issue" in an existing thread with a game crash, always open your own thread. Do not PM developers and staff members for personal troubleshooting and support.
  2. As part of our continuous maintenance and improvements to Assetto Corsa Competizione we will be releasing small updates on a regular basis during the esports season which might not go through the usual announcement process detailing the changes until a later version update where these changes will be listed retrospectively.
  3. If ACC doesn't start with an error or the executable is missing, please add your entire Steam directory to the exceptions in your antivirus software, run a Steam integrity check or reinstall the game altogether. Make sure you add the User/Documents/Assetto Corsa Competizione folder to your antivirus/Defender exceptions and exclude it from any file sharing app (GDrive, OneDrive or Dropbox)! The Corsair iCue software is also known to conflict with Input Device initialization, if the game does not start up and you have such devices, please try disabling the iCue software and try again. [file:unknown] [line: 95] secure crt: invalid error is a sign of antivirus interference, while [Pak chunk signing mismatch on chunk] indicates a corrupted installation that requires game file verification.
  4. When reporting an issue with saved games, please always zip and attach your entire User/Documents/Assetto Corsa Competizione/Savegame folder, along with the logs and the crash folder (when reporting related to a crash).

    I think a better cleaner solution to this is to setup a new math channel for each suspension channel, something like BUMPSTOP_SUSP_LF
    with this code: choose('BUMPSTOP_RIDE_LF' [] > 0, 'SUS_TRAVEL_LF' [mm], invalid())
    And give it a unique color

    Then setup one more channel, something like 'SUSP AND BUMP LF' with this code: choose('BUMPSTOP_RIDE_LF' [] > 0, 'BUMPSTOP_SUSP_LF' [mm], 'SUS_TRAVEL_LF' [mm])

    This could easily replace the default logged channel as all the values are the same, it just has the added color change. No flat lines from using stat_min() anywhere. I hope I'm not misunderstanding your aim here!

    Just realized I made a mistake - the second math channel should be named something like SUSP NO BUMP LF and should have this code: choose('BUMPSTOP_RIDE_LF' [] > 0, invalid(), 'SUS_TRAVEL_LF' [mm])

    Then, you add BOTH channels to the same group. The first channel gives you only suspension travel in bump, and the second channel is without bump. When you put the two channels in the same group, it should equal the original suspension travel channel, but now you can change the color of the trace when it goes into bump. I don't have access to motec at the moment so trying to do this all from memory without testing gets complicated!

    I tried to work my way with Motec following your instructions, but I am missing something because I don't get the bumpstop reading.

    Would be possible to share the workspace, or maybe a copy with just your math for the suspension.

    Also noted that the suspension diagram change in shape substantially between the one from Nils and the original from Kunos...

    If you copied the math, it may be that they are not highlighted in the group.
    When you are on the worksheet left click on the name of the bumpstop channel once ( in this case the pink one) and they will be shown on top of the suspension travel one.

    I think this is the simplest form of this particular diagram: [​IMG]

    Very simply, it highlights suspension travel whenever bump is engaged, and shows you at what value bump engages, indicated by the straight pink line. Only one channel needed, as long as you make sure you highlight the bump channel (you can click on the channel itself to highlight it, indicated by that white box next to the channel name) and choose an appropriate color. Also I think if you put the channel first in grouping, it will take priority regardless of highlighting. The other thing you can do is make sure in the math channel editor to only use 1 decimal place, same as the original channel.

    choose('BUMPSTOPUP_RIDE_LF' [..] > 0, 'SUS_TRAVEL_LF' [mm], stat_min('SUS_TRAVEL_LF' [mm], 'BUMPSTOPUP_RIDE_LF' [..] > 0))

  9. I think you forgot a "choose" at the start anyways.
    lol you actually removed all "choose" commands XD.
    In the and in the original post they are all the the start. lol.
    choose is an istruction. absurd coincidence

  13. are you running bumpstops at 0? cause it does not look ok to me otherwise.
    You can verify by putting the relative suspension travel in the same group.

    Good catch ;) Yes, 0 bump on the front. I will dig more into this before the next Enduro early next month and maybe will abuse of your knowledge when I have a better grasp. I think it's one of the most valuable data along with damper diagram, oversteering and rake. Wondering if there is any way to calculate drag...

    Thank you for the support!!
     
  15. You can in theory since you can set 0 wind and fixed temperature in hotlap mode I think, but you cannot in practice. Requires a non human available time of testing. We do not know the 3d model and we don't know anything about aero devices on these cars.
    You can only get approximed relatives and even if you do, without aeromap infos, it's useless.

    However, a good quick info about your current setup in relationship with one another may be the variance of longitudinal g forces or their derivatives. In this way, in fixed conditions, in those condition also of grip, you can quickly look and say: "this is slower". To determine where and why.

    Does anyone know how to determine the Ride Height Formula in Motec? I have question in regards to the formula that was provided in the work-book.
    For example: Ride Height LF is - 55-'SUS_TRAVEL_LF' [mm]+19.2 . Can some one please inform me where does 55 and 19.2 comes from? I just want to understand what those values meant.
    Ride Height LR is - 74-'SUS_TRAVEL_LR' [mm]+19.3 . Can someone please inform me where does 74 and 19.3 comes from?

    The 74 and 55 are your static ride height set in your setup screen in ACC
    19.3 and 19.2 are the suspension travel when the car is standing still, you need to read it in a telemetry file.

  19. Is it possible to create a graph of the difference between front and rear height?

    Yes, that's called rake and it's pretty important in the car handling and the general aero balance and level.

    If you use the formulas above to calculate ride height, you can use these two expressions and substract rear ride height to front ride height to get the rake. Set in a time/distance graph that will give you an approximation of the dynamic rake of the car.

    Note that as the initial ride height is taken at a certain fuel level/vehicule mass, remain constant in this aproximation, and further values are determined by suspension travel only. Your car will be burning fuel ofc along a stint, with a density of 0.75 125 liters of fuel represents 93.75 kg so around 7% of the vehicle mass, and depending on the fuel tank position it has an impact on rear suspension, front suspension, or both, that's why this rake calculation will be an approximation, no possible workaround here we miss too much data.
