Hey man, this is superb! I have bought the ACFL 1994 mod and saw that the engines are all the same, so i took this mod and applied more realistic engine torque curves to every car. Some how i got a problem that 4 of the cars crash the game (race cancelled instantly after loading, Content manager message) and 2 of them dont have a engine sound anymore.
Case into point: DiRT Rally from Deep Silver. The game is tough as nails, but wildly fun to play, and it actually teaches you a thing or two about the world of rally racing, whereas Assetto Corsa simply exists to frustrate, rather than exhilarate. I have a hard time recommending a game like Assetto Corsa.
Do you know where i have to look to fix these issues?Even when i just make a new tune and edit nothing it doesnt work on those 4 cars. (they are in a mod pack so i dont understand why 4 cars dont work and its fine with the other 10).
Racing sim fans are spoiled for choice at the moment. From iRacing to rFactor and to, you're pretty much free to pick and choose your level of realism, graphical fidelity and car and track selections.Where does Assetto Corsa fit into all this? Quite neatly, it has to be said - Italian developer Kunos Simulazione has produced a game that's both accurate enough to please dedicated sim racers and accessible enough to please those who simply want to drive some spectacular cars around striking courses. Depending on the version, there's now up to 102 vehicles available, as well as 26 different circuit layouts. Console versions also ship with the 'Tripl3 Car Pack', which includes two Ferraris - the FXX K and the 488 GTB - as well as the crazy Praga R1 track car.Constant improvements to all versions of the game have made it much better to play over the last year or so, and release of the console versions coincide with several bugfixes, including fixes for crashing issues (of the game, that is - your own crashing issues are probably driver error.), improved wheel and controller support, and subtle tweaks to the gameplay, including backfiring noises in certain cars.
Version 1.6A lot has happened since we last played Assetto Corsa, when version 1.0 first arrived. Among small tweaks to graphics and bugfixes, the developers have constantly refined the game's handling model - factor on which a sim lives or dies. Specific changes include new settings for all-wheel drive vehicles, heating performance changes for cars with slick tyres, and even engine performance differences depending on temperature and air density.

GameplayWe couldn't find much to fault Assetto Corsa's handling last time, though an exploratory test before the latest update revealed some of the developers' tweaks had made the cars significantly more understeery and somewhat less enjoyable.No such worries in 1.6 - if anything, those new to the game will find it quite tricky to get used to, unless the game's driving aids are employed. In particular, vehicles fitted with slick tyres can be pretty (if realistically) edgy until the tyres are brought up to temperature - and in some cars, that can take several laps.But all the characteristics we loved before still remain: There's a real sense of weight and momentum to vehicles, tyres bite into and scrub across tarmac in a manner familiar to anyone who has driven a real vehicle on track, and the circuits themselves are fiendishly realistic, with the same inconvenient bumps, tricky cambers and severe kerbs you'd find on their real-life counterparts. Combined with a track full of other cars sporting decent AI (or a track full of real players in the game's online modes) it gives you almost as much to think about as you would in a real race.The variety is improving with each update too - since last time we tried the game, several new courses have appeared, including a tricky fictitious American public road course. And as always, if there's still not enough variety for you, Assetto Corsa has an ever-growing base of third-party created content - we recently downloaded a nicely-made rendition of the Goodwood race circuit, perfect for the game's older cars.

Closing thoughtsAssetto Corsa remains a title you absolutely must add to your collection if you're dedicated to racing simulations.While its graphics still don't quite match up to the very best in the genre, they arguably have more personality than some and they're more than accurate enough to prove immersive.Racing is entertaining, hot-lapping is fun and there's an ever-growing collection of cars, tracks and challenges on offer to keep players occupied. With a growing online fan base (another factor on which modern sims live or die) you'll always be able to find challenging opposition too, with the potential to replicate real race series like the MX-5 Global Cup or GT3-level competition.We're looking forward to seeing what the developers have in store next.
