Assetto Corsa 2024: FULL Guide Content Manager, CSP, SOL, Pure, PP Filters, New Cars/Tracks & Rain.

hello everyone this is my complete tutorial for a set to Corsa I will show you how to install all Essentials for the game in 2024 content manager custom shaders patch so pure cars and tracks PP filters and how to make it rain I'll take you from the initial setup to more advanced features step by step let's do it anyway we have to start with Basics and for sure you will need the original game from Steam also just to let you know you will always need steam to be running otherwise it's not going to work the first big question is the DLC really needed that depends on the server you will be playing on some will require DLC just to run if they use the original kunos cars which is really popular I would recommend buying everything of course but quite often the only thing you'll need to get on a server is just the original game the first place we go is aeto Corsa . Club you can Google it like I do and here in the tab at the top it will say content manager there's a little description of what exactly this launcher does and you just have to scroll down and from the direct link download the archive with the light version It's a completely free version open the archive and just drag and drop the file wherever you want we close the browser and open content manager for the first time during the first installation you will have some settings that you can change namely the folder with the game your Steam account and you can also change the name or install additional files which are related to the game or more advanced mods development after clicking okay we are taken to the main content manager screen from here you can customize the entire game as you like for example from this main Drive tab you can control the races you can also switch to the full version of the content manager and you'll need a key for that then you'll unlock additional features and modes for this you go back to aeto cora. club and there are a couple of ways to donate to get the key once you have the key you click here and this is where you enter your key key for the full version a little thank you menu appears and then the application restarts now you have access to absolutely all modes so how do you install the custom shaders patch you simply go to the settings tab and here you click on install custom shaders patch by by default version 0.179 is the recommended version although it is already outdated and you can upgrade to newer versions all you need to do is just click on the version you want and it automatically installs it's updating so you will get the current version when it's ready if you want more advanced experimental features you can upgrade to the paid version for only $1 to do that go to Ilia yusupov's patreon page on patreon he is the Creator and content manager and custom shaders patch you can just Google his nickname and patreon and here we get to Ila's page here you will find very different versions of a more advanced shaders patch all new features that are still in development as well as all these versions allow you to activate rain in the game usually in the post post there is an archive or a link to download new version I'll show you how so you can also participate in the discussion see what kind of changes have been made recently or maybe it report some problems or you have new ideas everything is actively being developed so let's move on to the installation especially since there are two different ways you can choose the one that suits you the first way is to download the file directly usually to get the latest version it is better to look at the most recent post that will be published posts will be updated so this is just an example you download the file to your computer once the download is complete you go to the folder with the file and then you just drag and drop the whole file into the content manager and then you click right here and then install here and the version is automatically installed now it's already changed but I recommend that you close content manager and open it again so that the changes will definitely take effect as you can see you now have the advanced version from patreon now for the second option so the easier option I think is to use the quick install link I just click on it and then you click open link in the content manager it brings up a menu to install the new build it starts downloading from the link it takes a little bit longer but overall it's much easier and much less likely to make a mistake as you can see we now have the advanced version installed with patreon and now that the first part is done I'll do a little overview of the features this part is responsible for choosing a car but it's not all that simple there are also additional options to explore here this part is responsible for selecting the track you can choose here the track or track configuration that you have installed in addition there is an interesting module with the time on track selection and also there is an Advan mode if you click on these three points you have the option to pick a random time or increase the speed of real time significantly resulting in a faster change of day and night in addition an interesting function to select a specific date from this date will depend on the season ality and the position of the sun at a certain point in time for example in summer the sun will set later than in Winter you can also select real conditions on the track this feature allows you to load real world conditions on the track at a specific time period from The Real World when you start the game if for example in the real world on the track bad weather or it is the night you will get exactly the the same conditions that exist on the Real Track if you want for example to put a fast lap then you can choose the opposite ideal conditions to not depend on the weather conditions next let's look at the different game modes there are several game modes for example practice fast laap race with the ability to choose opponents of your choice weekend drift session with points or choose some mode from the experimental or test modes here for example or a mode like this I think it's something you can play around and choose what you're interested in next if you rightclick anywhere a hidden function comes up you can customize a few settings here like removing the hands or removing the steering wheel usually nobody even knows about it next you can control a difficulty mode or for example Tire blankets but there are a few more modes here here you can choose the helpers to make the game easier or switch to more realistic or enable some settings inside the car responsible for the real systems that may be available in a real car choose what you like best an important feature is the function of extended physics it can be applied only to one car or to all cars this is an experimental function it makes the physics of the car more realistic and also it is responsible for the physics of rain in addition the weather tab you can select weather or for example the conditions of the track you can also play with these parameters there are presets on the parameters on the track you can even customize the wind or temperature for example in the end of this part I can say that you have an incredible amount of options and features with which you can customize your perfect race or just a day at the track give yourself a little time to play around it with all the possibilities cars and tracks installation there are a lot of sites with mods but would be easier to show you on the example of the familiar site aceta cora. club just choose your favorite car on site and download the file with the car usually it is the same zip file with game files inside and the file is downloaded once the file has downloaded the easiest option is to drag and drop the archive into the content manager click here and click install the scheme is absolutely identical after that we can find a new car in this menu with the vehicle selection you can find it by searching for it or just in the general list of vehicles through the content manager absolutely the same scheme happens with the installation of the track we choose a track that we like and download the archive as you can see in this example the link was to the site race Department I advise you to register there without it will not be able to download from there in addition we will need it to install other things from race Department in future the track downloaded and we drag it in the same way in the content manager according to the already known scheme click here to install accordingly it just appears in the game and there is even a category new so that you do not have to look for it for a long time this is how you can install content automatically second method if something went wrong you can install the mods manually for example let's take this Ferrari Formula I've already downloaded it and unzipped it into a folder what you need to do is find a folder called content after that to get to the root folder with a setto Corsa you can rightclick on the car inside the content manger and click folder button this will take you to the folder with the car accordingly the best way is to go back to the root directory of the game this is the typical location of the game now you take the downloaded car and drag it here all the content with the car goes into the game then you go back into the content manager and the car appears in Access so this is a typical manual installation way it's best to be more careful at this point but basically everything works exactly the same as well for example this folder contains tracks so what I want to say you will always have two ways to install the same car or track only be careful how you install manually you must maintain the logic of the game's file system rain and how to enable rain in the game the most important thing is to check what version of custom shaders patch you have rain only works in the patreon version of the patch they usually have the index preview after installing the correct version you can simply select rain in the weather selection in the main game menu drive a small hint appears here this is an important point that in order for real rain physics to work and affect the behavior of the car you must activate the extended physics feature otherwise you have rain will only be a visual effect which will not affect the physics and car Behavior but I understand some people just like a NIC looking weather effect how to install soul to install Soul we go and Google the public version of soul that can be found on the race Department website where you already have an account and we just download a small file from here which already contains a link to the actual file after that you download exactly the same zip file which you need to unzip inside contains several files and even has more complete installation instructions if you have problems S as you can see all you need to do is place these Soul files in the root folder with the game there are folders content folder extension folder system and so they should definitely be placed in the root folder we just drag and drop it there you can restart content manager right away now now go to aeto Corsa python apps and enable all apps that are related to the soul plugin in addition go to settings custom shaders patch and check that weather FX is active as well as select the script so go back to drive and go to the weather selection controllers now Soul controls the weather you need to select this particular Soul 2.5 controller so that you can control the weather with a special plugin inside the game as we have added new applications Soul planner is now available to you it can be found here in the applications menu in short it is a powerful tool that allows you to control weather and environment day and night changes weather time scenarios and so on I'm sure you will love this app the possibilities are really endless you may want to change the day in 10 minutes of real time or customize the time of the beginning and end of rain the arrival of a hurricane or fog it's actually up to you developer mode here is a hidden but important feature if you want to enable developer mode go to about and tap several times on the last digits of the version number click yes and debug features and other things will be available to you we will cover them later pure if soul is not enough for you there is a more advanced app it's a paid app from Peter Bo patreon page he is the developer of soul and as such he has a more advanced version called Pure the app is in active development and here is the current version note that you always need an up-to-date custom shaders patch for Pure to work the path is roughly the same you find the last post that Peter posted and download the current version Peter usually has pretty detailed instructions at the link and he also makes his own installation videos so I'll just show you the easiest way to quickly install it all as you can see pure weighs almost 2 gab which is 10 times more than Soul the way is the same take the file and unzip it and see that there are tutorial files in here as well as the files we need to install Peter says that the best option is to uninstall before installing soul and he has an exec file with which you can do this in one click you just click on the appropriate file and uninstall soul and install pure the only thing you'll need to do is select the folder where aceto Corsa is installed as you can see I selected the root directory and the script deleted the necessary files and started installing pure I then pressed any key and the script is installed I go back to the content manager now we go into the weather effect settings and we have to select the pure script because we don't have soul anymore we go back to the drive section and we see that we now have pure as a controller you can notice at once quite Advanced Dynamic WEA other settings you can explore the possibilities by yourself pure allows you to have control over many more parameters planner has become even more intuitive in addition in pure config you can customize an infinite number of settings for lighting clouds game rendering and more pure is an incredibly powerful tool check out Peter on patreon for more information post post processing filters there are an incredible huge number of postprocessing filters so you can just start searching on Google and find the right one for you as you can see even on Race Department there is a separate category usually the authors attach screenshots of exactly how the game will look like after installing this filter we need to download this small file and and in general they are always small similarly unzip the file and as we see there are already familiar two folders extension folder system which must be placed in the right place in the root directory you can see what's inside to make sure everything is correct now just drag them into the folder and you're done open our game go to the applications list and type in postprocessing filters PP filters can dramatically change the picture and some also have exposure settings they change the way the game looks as a whole maybe you will find your favorite for different Maps or different atmospheres as we are done with initial setup I'll show you more of the advanced settings and why you need a developer mode activated okay I guess you are ready to go deeper as I said if you have activated developer mode debug features are now available for example the very useful CSP debug application here you can use very interesting features and control the game in a way that has not been possible to control so far as an example there is a very nice feature teleport by clicking it you can teleport your car to any convenient Point by simply pressing F7 you go into flight mode and control the camera with the arrows on the keyboard I'll demonstrate what happens when you click teleport to any point on the map if you want to move somewhere quickly also also from the experimental functions that you can play with this if you need to always return to one point you can save the position of the car and return it through save states customize a few if you need to just like that one or two can be a very useful tool here are some exploratory options let's say you are tweaking the suspens ion for your cars you may need some features to get more information from the car you are creating the physics tab enable the tire Rays mapping as you see the advanced physics is enabled now by the amount of rays coming from the tire also there is a debug model of weather FX if you need specific rain settings you can use this debug to customize specific conditions in literally seconds a very useful feature here also shows all the asphalt condition parameters and some debug features that can be enabled or disabled photo mode one of my favorite apps is the photo Mode app with it you can take amazingly beautiful screenshots add filters change crop settings shutter speed aperture and frame focus and create really beautiful screenshots literally in a couple of clicks you get a lovely picture as this app shelf also app shelf application which is integrated into custom shaders patch is a collection of useful utilities that expand the functionality of the game for example the new 3D radar or this Unbound app for managing car systems as a specific example I will show you the paint shop application in which in real time without leaving the track you can change the color of your car or even for example like this to add some stickers and text on your car it's full color palette different sticker sets and the ability to save the textures of the car after your creation is complete I'm not an artist I hope you get something more interesting returning to content manager a few different things that will be useful so Gamepad FX Gamepad FX allows you to control the car via Gamepad in a fully functional way you can use game pads from different manufacturers but you will have to find the script that suits you best for example here is a script gyro steer which allows you to control with a game pad from PlayStation based on accelerometers and gyroscope for normal arcade races this script is enough and I don't even need a steering wheel don't forget to select gamepad as the control method in the control settings moving on neck FX neck FX brings a lot of new things to the table when playing in first person the camera starts reacting to steering wheel turns g-forces and other events that happen to the car you get a more immersive experience and it also allows you to look around inside the interior with the right Mouse button there are two different neck FX control scripts available now try to find the right one for you one more little tweak I like is smart mirror it allows you to display the actual image from the car mirrors given their position in reality and the driver's position in a car works great in VR really allows you to feel like you are inside the car there are some fun options even like mirror vibrations on old cars which makes the gameplay even more realistic a setto Corsa with custom shaders patch has an incredible amount of customization options to create a unique racing experience and even a normal track day it's an amazing for me here for example I play with a game pad with neck effects and real mirrors I believe this is a basic guide that covers the basic questions that arise for those who have just joined the assetto Corsa Community according to the statistics it is the most popular racing simulator right now let's see what the future of aceto Corsa has in store for this game thanks for watching
