After a few weeks of learning this stuff, i can confidently say that learning to fly a 737 was and is 3 times easier than this. I am so confused but these videos are definitely helping alot.
John - Thank you for making the three setup videos. It really helps to demystify a seemingly complex subject that is, well, complex! Specific settings aside, just knowing what they do is a leap forward (I hope) for me. At 67 I am trying my hardest and any small gain is a big accomplishment. Please keep up the good work, This is the best channel I’ve found so far addressing ACC.
Really appreciate the comment Bruce! I have also always found it a complex beast to wrap my head around, and still a long way away from being able to create my own optimal setups from the ground up. But, the more different elements you understand, the easier it becomes 🙂 Glad you are enjoying the content and best of luck with your racing!
@@TraxionGG Here’s an observation. I’m currently in ACC career mode and I can truthfully say my career accomplishments are basically nonexistent, or you could say they suck big time. 16th, 16th, 16th, 16th and so on, always close and slowly learning. I have a rather hard head and a never give up mentality; I simply refuse to quit. Over and over and over again. Then yesterday I came out for a qualy session and somehow had put myself in bonnet view. My world instantly changed. I qualied 2nd and finished an honest 9th! I was sitting lower but made a couple small mistakes that cost me. I was gobsmacked. I hope it continues.
Such a dumb I was till this guy gave me the best quality information. Struggling being gold driver with trash setup, now I can compete in tier 1. Big thumb up and thank you very very much!!!
Just getting into sim racing. Just my own notes: so basically stiffer generally gives less grip and softer yields more grip. More grip at the front means agile turn in but potential for oversteer. Less grip at the front leads to understeer. While grip at the rear leads to understeer upon corner exit and less grip leads to oversteer. Anti-roll bars work much the same way to the wheelrate and bump stops in this regard.
These videos should be in the main game!! How the hell are people new to this game supposed to know what TC2 means! I’ve been watching car racing for years and had new clue what this actually did until these vids!
Great channel mate. I've been sim racing for around 3 months now, initially I've copied other people's setups but noticing my tyre pressures when copied were still way off, so after tweaking them to perfection i realised I'm losing out on tweaking other aspects of the car. These videos have really helped me understand what I need to adjust. Thanks bro. Broken down like a pro
THESE GUIDES HAVE BEEN A GOD SEND... I invested in ACC for my xbox series s yesterday.. Amazing the game but these guides have helped loads THANK YOUUUUUU
@@TraxionGG cheers bud.. I was gettin really good at the original assetto corsa, so I thought the transition to acc wouldn't be to bad.. HOW WRONG I WAS LOL.. It is a really hard game to get ya head round and does take ALOOOT of practice but once I started nailing the laps in at zolda on career mode I started really gettin into it. Chuckin u in the lambo as a first car which is a handful didn't help my introduction lol
Absolutely agree, lots of work required but so satisfying when you get the hang of it! Check out our playlist of videos, loads of tips on there for how to get started 🙂 ua-cam.com/play/PL1wiZ5YwTwHaRrH3cWnSzjjErM3b1nM8l.html
Woah! I've been thinking that antirool bar worked the opposite way! Since like, forever! Thats why I don't usually lose the car but I'm not able to be fast on corners... I do use them for balance, but I sacrifice grip...
thanks for the guide! not too shallow or too overcomplicated and straight to the point, well done. a bit offtopic but could you tell me the name of the background track you used during 0:27 ? that track slaps :D
Hello! Tried finding it in other places, however here is the only place you can get it: elements.envato.com/this-is-summer-SC8JW3M Thanks for watching, part 3 of this series is out next week!
Useful video and thanks for taking the time to do these. On bumpstops, at about 10:12 on the video you seem to be adjusting wheel rate rather than the bumpstops. I found this a bit confusing.
about the rear diff, a fully locked rear diff gives you understeer, but better grip on acceleration. open diff, makes your car more nervous (agile?) , but worse traction. An example of fully locked rear is a Kart :) where you have to lean the wrong way to lift the inner wheel to make the kart able to turn efficient :) in real life, its not good to hit the bumpstump, cause it usually upsets your car. I could be wrong with this, but.
Understood everything so far the last part was a hair confusing I’ll just play with it see what it does to figure it out the bump stops and whatnot I’m not spending money on coach Dave setups, I wanna get into IRacing lol that’s expensive and I think my wheel is dying so I’m about to have to buy a new one *( gonna cost me like $2,000usd )* it almost 4 years old and has about 500k+ miles on it *( 804,672km )* probably more a lot more than that actually
Conceptually I'm having a hard time with brake bias... If you have more brake bias, does more weight transfer to the front? If so, isn't that more likely to cause oversteer upon turn-in due to a lighter rear?
Brake bias will only affect the cars tendency to oversteer/understeer, and will have an impact on your brake temps. The car will always dive forward regardless of brake bias.
You gotta make this more clear. You're saying, "when you press to the right..." And you're all over the place, instead of clicking to the right. Also we don't need to see your face
It's probably worth reaching out to an engineer, whether that's real racing or sim racing if you want full details for each setting! These guys and girls will be more qualified when it comes to the nuances 🙂
The fact that the numbers in the tire slider represent a different set of tires and just below that the numbers in the brake pads represent a different type of pad, and these are in the same menu box with zero explanation is the most absurd thing I've ever seen. My first race, thinking i need to use a new set of pads i plopped in pad 4, because they were new. 20 minutes in i lost all braking ability with absolutely no indication of what had gone wrong. All of these unnecessary mysteries in the setup and the use of terms unfamiliar to noobs make this sim incredibly frustrating. Why does everything have to be a dern secret? It's a snooty, stuck-up, arrogant thing to do to put things you don't explain in the settings and then just tell people to figure it out on their own. Almost like it's the national attitude of snootiness. It took me days to figure out that "wheel rate" meant how soft or hard the springs were. Why they did that? Use what terms you want, but at least have an explanation available.
At 4:30-ish "... and this is petty much self-explanatory..." No, it's not. Nothing in this sim is self explanatory. Trying to treat it as self-explanatory means you'll make logical assumptions based on context. If you do that here, or anywhere in the setup menu (refer to my complaint earlier about the brake pads numbers representing something completely different from the tire numbers directly above them), you'll end up making vast errors. Furthermore if it was self-explanatory, I wouldn't need to be watching this video. The setup system is so intentionally misleading and esoteric that I have zero confidence in my understanding of it, even as that understanding evolves. I still am very wary about thinking I understand it correctly even when I think I've figured something out. It really takes away from the enjoyment of the racing itself. As a result, I do not see myself using this sim long term. I'm just holding out at this point until the new Forza drops, and hoping that will somewhat bridge the gap.

@@bruceberg3574 Bro, you are not alone! Am always last in Career mode too 😂😂
Great video! Wish they would explain these things more in the game itself
i dont know, atleast in acc you get visualisations for the things they change.
It's unnecessarily mysterious and that's very frustrating. Almost like they wanted to discourage people from playing this sim.
Such a dumb I was till this guy gave me the best quality information. Struggling being gold driver with trash setup, now I can compete in tier 1. Big thumb up and thank you very very much!!!

As a beginner to ACC and GT racing in general, this has been a very good comprehensive guide to get me started.

Thank you for making this really easily understandable for a non car guy 4Head
😂 You are welcome!
Thank you. I am new to sim racing and ACC and this is the best guide yet.
Again, quality is super, hope you'll get more popular!
Ikrrr
Nice, even I knew a little about the setup but you have helped me improve on it 👍
and am new in ACC too
Great to hear!
Much need 3 part vid....the need this for when you buy the game
Thanks!
Hi You need to change the desctiption PART 1. Link and remove the gap between the be/z and 48-
Thanks so much for the guides...super-helpful!
Thank you!
This kind of video quality is like from a 1 million sub channel.
even people with 1 million subs wouldn't make a vid like this
This channel was created by Motorsport Games I believe, they have quite the capital...
It's not. The audio is good, but the visuals are a mess
Very helpful series, I've watched them all, thanks so much.
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching!
thanks man for the tips...you explained it beautifully
You are very welcome, thanks for the comment!
great video!!! you explained everything perfect. youve gained a subscriber!
Woah! I've been thinking that antirool bar worked the opposite way! Since like, forever! Thats why I don't usually lose the car but I'm not able to be fast on corners... I do use them for balance, but I sacrifice grip...
I learned a lot myself when creating this video! 😂

Ok so sort of get it i gues I can stop putting random numbers and hoping it works great video
Thanks heaps mate!
You are very welcome!
Tnx , hvala!
Good info
Thanks!
You are very welcome! 🙂
The Nurb 24 throws a wrench in the fuel portion lol

You are my hero I am now 3tenths faster
Thanx for the info, one question how do you get all the camera angels from the back of the car to the front and the close up of the tires ?
Press F7 in replay and use arrow keys to move the camera.
@@TraxionGG thanx
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Glad this helped.
@9:22 is it normal that i'm getting a headache and a bit of dizziness when trying to absorb all this information at once?
Entirely. I have tried my best to make it digestible, but that doesn't mean you won't need a lie down 😂
Also who is your favourite f1 driver I am a big Lewis Hamilton fan💜
I play a lot of F1 with a logitech wheel and thought I was a skilled sim racer, until I came across this game😂
It’s definitely a complex beast! But so rewarding when you get the hang of it😁 You will now be a beast on F1😂
You gotta make this more clear.
You're saying, "when you press to the right..." And you're all over the place, instead of clicking to the right.
Also we don't need to see your face
Сделайте кто-нибудь такое же видео на русском языке, даже с переводом некоторые моменты не понятны...
You explain what every setting means, but not what it does in detail. You should go over this much more in detail, with driving examples.
It's probably worth reaching out to an engineer, whether that's real racing or sim racing if you want full details for each setting! These guys and girls will be more qualified when it comes to the nuances 🙂
@@TraxionGG Oh cmon, you obviously know it, you just need to go more in detail, like explaining it to your granny or something.
@@bbogdanmircea dude....
this game is incomplete, slow af , handle like boats on skates, incompetent developers i suppose

Man, idk what to say besides I have no idea how you ended up in ACC expecting it to be like Forza, two completely different genres
