How To Install MODS (Properly) in Assetto Corsa | (Cars, Tracks, Apps, PPfilters, Reshade, Presets)

hey there fellas due to a high amount of questions asking how to install tracks apps PP filters and literally most of the popular stuff on a set of course I've decided to make this video and as you can see we have a lot of questions on a daily basis on our help Channel and I try to answer them all so without wasting too much time now what I've prepared today I've prepared one car completely random I just downloaded something from Internet it's for showcase purposes one track one car then I got an application then I got a PP filter that I'm gonna show you how to install and I've got my recent reshade preset that I made now I'm not gonna go into the reshade preset I'll make a separate video about it and also if you're interested on how to install Soul CSP pure the preview versions The paid versions the free versions always make sure to check out my update videos about them I cover absolutely everything combined with the new changes so you can stay tuned and I showcase how to uninstall versions uninstall new versions now without further Ado let's jump into how to install on both of the ways what's proper what is safe and what is not going to cause you any problems in the future so first things first of us now a lot of you do drag and drop now what I want to tell you fellas is that there's nothing wrong usually with drag and drop as long as you are drag and dropping small car and track mods I will not recommend drag and dropping applications this can cause some problems because you cannot trust content manager it doesn't extract data properly it doesn't compile them now if you also ask what is this folder thingy this is called winra it's an extractor program that extracts files basically data and I love it because you can double click and immediately access the archive without having to extract it first so it saves me time anyways without going into too much details on like very basic computer skills uh now we're gonna jump into uh very important things that I want to share with you now first thing that you want to know I strongly recommend not installing applications basically not drag and dropping them in content manager PP filters as well and any any preset either BPP filter or reshade whatever now for cars and track mods you can definitely drag and drop them as you can see when you drag and drop the car you can click install and then boom the track is installed with one click so you can then click here type Holden and the car will most likely pop up you can see the green thing lights up so that means probably it's a new mode and there goes the car now we can drag and drop this track now what is very important to know first now I've tested myself manually when you download massive car packs that contain inside then click install as well when you download massive car packs that contain about 30 cars or Plus or 20 cars a lot of cars basically above four what I've seen is that content manager manages to install four cars at once and it's actually missing some of the cars it's not installing I've tested this grabbing one massive Archive of two gigabytes full with like 20 cars drag and dropped it twice and the second time time it even told me that I have a new mod that I haven't installed that means the first time I drag and drop basically the archive with the cars it didn't install the cars so this is why I tell you do not trust content manager it cannot compile massive data and I advise you massive car packs to install manually and I'm gonna show this real quick later now we have installed this track let me see how this is called it's a CF so let's see ACF and there goes the track so it's now installed let me show you real quick now how you can install this so let's select the car and let's select the track now if you have to install them one very quick way to locate the track is right click on it on the picture folder then go on folder backwards and just delete press delete on the keyboard and now the track is deleted then we're gonna find the same car that we installed now same trick fellas right click boom and I'm gonna show you now how to install many so I'm gonna restart content manager I'm gonna open it real quick now and you will see that we have the car is no longer here and the track is not no longer here so what we're going to do fellas is since we cannot use this quick access basically what you can do is you can open Steam you can click on Library instead of Corsa properties then the third option install files and browse and this will send you immediately into your root folder now where the current track mods go they go into this content folder the cars go here and the tracks go here now we're gonna talk about the app a bit later let me cover everything so how we install the cars is let's go on this folder then we're going to select this we're going to open the folder of the car close this it's asking us to go into paid version but we're fine with the free one now what we're going to do is we're going to grab this folder and drag and drop it into this empty space or if you have too much empty space here you can see as long as the folders are not lighting up you don't want to drop them here because it's going to go inside this folder on your content manager and just the game in general is not going to detect the car must be in the cars folder so we're gonna drag and drop it right here boom don't bother about my desktop it's bugging because I'm running triples now the the car is installed it's already inside our cast folder then we're going to go back on content folder we're going to tracks now we're going to install the track that we installed via content manager we're going to do absolutely the same for us we're going to grab this folder and drag and drop it right here now this is how you install manually mods and this is the safest way possible with absolutely everything doesn't matter so CSP Pure Car Mode track mods I'll explain uh real quick in a moment why now we're gonna type Holden Boom the car is here you see absolutely the same way now you can see both methods work drag and dropping content manager uninstalling manually now what is the difference between the two methods of installing the mods in a set of Corsa guys for the cars and track mods is that some tracks are exceptionally big like shotoku Revival project basically SRP you've probably heard of it FDR basically New York they're massive even Union Island but I think Union island is pretty safe anyways I still absolutely recommend when you download massive track like stock Revival project FDR or anything that is free roam it's usually very big I strongly advise you to install manually why I'll tell you why because when you drag and drop this massive track like this one for example look at this this is insanely big when you drag and drop this track what is going to happen is content manager will manage to extract the data but it's going to miss some files now this is the key element what is the problem is that you might run it on single player your game might not crash or it might crash but when you go to online and you try to play on any shoe talk Revival project server the server will give you race canceled or it will kick you and give you check some mismatch because your data is not matching your track is corrupted basically your files on your end are missing something and they do not match the online server's files that's what you're running that's what happens when you join the server is the server is running to your files loading everything and when something is not absolutely the same as in the server folder then you get the raise cancel that's why fellas I constantly repeat install manually installed manually and some people get mad bro let's be honest you literally don't lose time I can do it like full speed and you'll see how quickly I do I just install everything now super slow because some people complain that they go too fast so I want to make it very user friendly and very beginner these guys so everyone can understand me right all right guys now since we have the cars and tracks out of the way I'm gonna delete them and now we move on to the applications now applications are very simple and I personally just drag and drop them onto the content manager however if you decide to install them manually that is super simple again fell as you open the root folder of a zero Corsa I showed you earlier in the video how to do that now probably almost all of them will be python applications so what you do is you open the archive and you can see immediately what folders do you have absolutely same scenario fell as you grabbed these two folders and you drag and drop onto the root folder of a set of Corsa and all the files will go exactly where they're supposed to be you don't believe me look apps python DK pedal so this will go into Apps Python and it will go into DK pedals however I already have it so as I said most of them almost all of them will be python so this is the only one track map that is in this specific case uh Lua so that's why this is here in the coffee map and the drag and drop I think it's pretty straightforward fellas you just grab the application drag and drop it and then click install as you can see I already have it now once we've installed the applications we go to settings we go to Acero Corsa we go to python apps or perhaps if you're using older CSP version it will be just called app so when you go here you make sure enable python apps stick you can also tick the developer apps you get a very nice debug applications and so on in the game and then you make sure the applications that you've just seen installed are turned on like you can see right here DK pedals and you can always turn them off or on whatever you like next make sure you go under settings custom Shader patch on have GUI enable so that way the new taskbar will also appear and make sure that new taskbar right here is enabled so you can have the taskbar when you go in the game as you can see we're in the game now we're gonna move our Mouse to the right you can see we have DK pedals we have all the applications on these right here quick access apps that I have already accessed if you want to open them you have to go first to all apps and then you have to select it and it will appear right here you can see we have also coffee map so our application is working perfectly fine I don't have my pedals now enabled but when I press the brake this will light up on the throttle as well it will light up on the modulator so that's how you enable the applications in game since we covered the applications now we're moving on to the final and that is PP filters presets reshape presets and the preset settings for content manager video settings CSP settings whatever now I'm gonna show you most of them ninety percent probably 95 would be super easy to install however there are some that might confuse you so don't worry I'm going to show you everything else as usual now reshape presets very simple when you open them they'll be very very simple this extra shade if you're asking me this is my shade recently made it it will be on patreon feel free to check it out links will be in the description anyways not gonna install the video how do you install this if you have installed reshade you will have this folder if you don't have reshade you won't have this folder so do not worry this is for the people that use reshade what you do you grab these two files and you drag and drop into a set of Corsa root folder however as you know I already have this so I'm just going to cancel and terminate this installation so as we've got out the reshape presets same with PP filters most PP filters fellas you can see even the notepad that says installed manually as I tell you valves most of the pp filters will be super easy you just have a system folder you can see the system folder is right here what you do is you grab this file and drag and drop into a set of course a root folder immediately you can see I already have this so I'm just using them as an example and then you click replace if you somehow have it and now on to the hardest ones and the most confusing ones for all of you fellas and I will give example with Sky now we're gonna Open Sky alright so now we're inside the sky files and what do we do with these fellows now the guys very obviously trying to indicate you that this belongs to a set of course a root folder and this belongs to a different folder which is the content manager's data folder I will show you in a moment but this is the same procedure as before system folder you grab this and you drag and drop it right here and that's that I'm gonna cancel this installation because I have it now what we're going to do first we're going to go one folder backwards and how do we find the folder where to install these two files for this specific PP filter now we're gonna open the search and we're gonna type percentage update percentage boom then we're gonna go one folder backwards to update we go local and there we we have the ac2s content manager this is the content managers folder with all the settings all the presets all the files then we go to presets and now you can see we have custom Shader patch settings and we have the video settings there goes the video settings there goes the custom Shader patch settings so we open this we open this and there you have it fellas Skymax you can see I have these files so you basically just drag and drop them so you do that but I'm going to cancel because I already have them then we go on folder backwards we go to video settings we open video settings we grab these we place them here and there you go then you have it now in case you have the content manager open you can close it basically restart content manager and what is going to happen now fellas is when you open this right here when you go to custom share patch you will see now you have the Skymax CSP settings that you can use for 179 and for 180 with the new settings because every single custom Shader patch has different new options and so on and you also have when you go to a set of course video you also have the Skymax on Skymax medium video settings presets so that's gonna do it files for today
