Rally mode and more
🕑 Added 2024-07-27 01:02:15 +0000 UTCFor the past couple of months, we were primarily focused on a couple of things related to rally, to put Surfaces FX module adding off-road physics to a good use. One of those is a new app meant to function as a copilot, showing and voicing details about upcoming turns, and another is a new mode for a single rally stage (a more advanced rally mode with multiple stages is coming a bit later).
Rally Copilot app
The first main addition is a new app that can help you navigate an unfamiliar track. It shows upcoming turns on HUD, draws them in 3D space and voices them when appropriate (and, of course, you can turn off the parts you don’t need). Actual pace notes are generated automatically based on AI spline and track relief, but there is also a built-in pace notes visual editor you can use to either tweak and improve automatically generated notes, or create a new list. And, similar to the Setup Exchange app, it also allows you to share your prepared notes or download ones prepared by others.
The app comes with an English voice created using an AI voice generator Elevenlabs. There are also two alternative voices demonstrating different ways of preparing your own ones, and a tool that should help to quickly map existing audio files for creating custom voices. With it, creating new voices shouldn’t be too difficult (assuming you already have audio files containing all the phrases).
Also, if car comes with a prepared co-driver model (documentation is coming soon), the app will load it and animate accordingly, all made possible with the help of some new Lua API.
You can find the app on App Shelf, as always. Or, alternatively, CSP should suggest you to install it automatically if you’d use…
Rally Stage mode
A simple single-stage race mode that was initially created more as a proof-of-concept. Unlike regular hotlap mode, it requires you to park the car in front of the starting line and starts counting time after a countdown. Implements its own custom sector time keeping in a reliable database, as well as its own penalties logic and car restoration mechanism.
The mode can be found in the Quick Drive tab of Content Manager (click on the dropdown list on the right of the sublist of modes). Oh, and if you don’t like the way starting gates look, you can always change the style in a configuration tool available in-game when this mode is used.
New Dynamic Reset app
Just a small new tool that could help you learn difficult corners and such. Set a starting point and a finishing point, and it’ll help you to learn that section while keeping track of time and delta. You can also save a section and its results so you could return to learning it in a next session.
Other highlights
Besides the rally features and a new app, the update is mostly fixes, although there are some small new features that might be interesting:
New physics experiment fixing missing spawn points on some tracks;
Triple Tweaks module can match uneven sides much better, also allows to configure triple camera behavior individually for different camera modes;
Chaser Camera module allows to use a different script for secondary camera;
A bunch of common errors in user content no longer cause Assetto Corsa to crash;
Replays online are now active by default;
Grass FX got a new wind logic for a more grassy look and feel;
Handbrake state syncs online (currently only using a single bit);
Walking Out mode now uses gamepad for camera controls (and got a bunch of fixes too);
Also, Android Auto got a web browser (and the YouTube app has been fixed once again).
Notable fixes
In the never-ending pursuit of a stable build, there are, as usual, a lot of fixes, such as:
Layout of the new pause menu fixed;
Turbo switches no longer stop working after certain hotkey combinations;
Surfaces FX no longer messes up AIs driving off-track;
Odometer loading works again (and if you’re using original launcher, CSP will keep track of total distance driven itself);
System keybindings should work properly now, including Ctrl+Shift+… ones;
IME integration fixed, now should properly support advanced input methods (but if it fails again, it can be disabled in GUI settings);
New trees got a couple of small shading improvements;
Extra FX’s TAA and SSLR effects work better with LCS active, no more turning sky black or failing to find any reflections;
AIs now should properly select rain tyres in the rain;
Visual part for deforming walls should be functional again.
Oh, and the long-standing issue with the domain zone has finally been fixed, apologies for taking so long. Now we’re moving to acstuff.club, please feel free to start updating any URLs you might be using (both domains lead to the same website to keep everything compatible). The update for Content Manager supporting new domain is currently in the untested branch (that’s why quick install link on this post still refers to the old domain), and it’s also attached to this post just in case.
Here is the full list of changes, and here is a quick install link. As usual, thank you so much for all the incredible support! For the upcoming update, among other things, I’m planning on finally rewriting the replays system, which should finally allow us to start implementing some of the more interesting new features and solve some of the current limitations.

hi mates, i have the same issue as many: switching from rally stage to other race modes and then back to rally stage cause game crash... any ideas?

hi how are things? First of all, I would like to congratulate you and thank you for your work. This new Raññy app is fantastic and something like this was already missing in Assetto Corsa. You mentioned that it is possible to put new voice notes. I have been trying but I am quite clumsy and I haven't been able to. My question is... would it be possible for you to introduce a co-pilot in Spanish? If that were the case I would be very grateful to you, even more than I am of course...hahaha. thank you very much and greetings

Hi, is there an app to align the left and right screens better when using triples? I see you have mentioned it can be done now with this latest update but I don’t see it in the triples app. Thankyou
Lord Hotis
great job, but mine has some problems, the function of using 2 chase cam scripts didn't work, every time I take a photo, it removes the ppfilter effects and any color filter I've put, and some apps stopped working. But apart from that, it's fine
Fran Velázquez
what an amazing job, congratulations

Hey Ilja - for latest preview grass does not move in VR for the right eye (Varjo Aero, but others are reporting it too). Please fix.
Christopher Vanderlaan

found another youtube site alternative for anyone looking to use youtube in the android auto web broswer , heres the link https://inv.tux.pizza/ been working fine and smooth so far
Rolling Fanatics
I was trying to find a workaround for youtube using the android auto web broswer .. I managed to get to the desktop version of youtube with this link, https://www.youtube.com/?app=desktop kinda works , but the videos will play for 2-5 secs before buffering . Shorts work fine, no buffering with shorts . I thought the web broswer app and the android auto browser shared with each other . Youtube plays fine on web broswer app but not the android auto version .

Hi. Could you please check the "Use with VR" option in neck fx? The last version of csp in which it worked well was 0.1.80 prev 346. In subsequent versions it doesn't work at all on VR. Thanks

Every time I press R1 on controller to shift up Android Auto on dash screen flashes white and takes a screenshot of itself. Is there anyway to disable Android Auto as I cannot seem to find any keybinds at all for it.

Hello great work as always, loving what you do for the Assetto community. I have a few bug reports to inform you of from this latest update that have been rather hindering to gameplay. Bug 1- when your in chase camera the audio from the cars engine starts to trip up and stop randomly for a number of seconds. I've tried numerous tracks and cars and it does the same thing on all of them, even records it in the replay. Bug 2- the track day AI has become nearly unusable- some particular cars will stay at a very slow speed therefor slowing the rest down causing car crashes a lot, some don't move at all and some wing from one side of the road to the other for unknown reasons. we've had these problems before but now they have escalated to a game breaking level. Bug 3- (this is a small one) at dusk and dawn the sun glare can cause the windscreen to flicker a different shade on and off when in view of the sun randomly as if its compensating from being too bright. thats all. I hope this helps. keep up the great work

Amazing fix of many things, all looking great. Rally Stage mode not working tho, just crash after it load everything, I see for less than a second the car and then crash. And Youtube in Android Auto after you click to play some video, go to black for a while and then go back to video thumbnails, do not play anything. And the flickering looking behind cars at LOD B distance in daylight (sunny midday for example) it was on 0.2.3 ... gone in 0.2.4 ... it's back on 0.2.5 (All this in VR mode, Single Pass Stereo OFF, and ON it is the same anyway)
Lauri Hyväri
Might be long shot but do you have single pass stereo on?
Marco Fabro
As mentioned before grass is a bit broken in VR. With my left eye the grass moves with the wind and with the right eye It's still. Makes for a very strange effect that doesnt feel nice with both eyes open.

Rodger Davies
Thank for all the fixes! Please can I ask, is there any hope for a replacement LoD generator in future? Was one of my favourite features ever before Simplygon decided we were having too much fun :( Made so many mods usable that wouldn't have otherwise been.
ManuelS
Where i find the new Dynamic Reset app, please?

As always, great job Ilja! I am wondering, with this new rally mode in development, would that allow us to create multiple race events for the big free roam maps like NFS Most Wanted and Underground 2? I would personally love to have the ability to create either independent or connected race events in some of those big maps so that the community can relive some classic free roam racing games in modern hardware. As always, thanks for all your hard work and always happy to support!!
