Assetto Corsa in Pimax 5k plus - advanced setup guide

Thanks for the settings in Content Manager, which is well worth donating to the writer for that.

The DX10 makes it much nicer and clearer over distance.

Modes to go for for Assetto Corsa
Sol Mod (Weather / Day and Nighty system with shaders)
Wet Mod

A good reference to setting things up is by this guy.

Modders making a good game great.

Have you got it working with the SOL mod? I read that there are problems with the Pimax crashing when activated?

No problem s here with the Sol Mod and PImax 8K. Using the BrainWarp Beta PiTools. Set PiTools Render to 1, FOV to Normal or Wide. Steam VR to 100% and it runs quite well.

Either running it from Content Manager or In Game

Great to hear, can’t wait for my 5K+. I’ve got only a i7/4970k with a1080 (non TI) so I will give .103 a try, perhaps with 72Hz… I’ve still got a DK2 and have no problems with 75Hz. I’m also using the Content Manager with AC, so I hope everything will go well…

Thank you for the guide, it really makes a big difference in the performance and visuals.

I found only one problem with this:
The brake lights on other cars are disabled when the ingame PP filters are deactivated. The only workaround I have been able to find is the ā€˜minimum’ PP filter that can be downloaded here: Minimum PP Filter | RaceDepartment

As the name suggests, it has a minimal impact on performance, but restores the function of the brake lights on other cars. Does anybody know a better solution to this?

Has anything changed in your settings from that time, with recent pitool, brainwarp etc.? :slight_smile:
Have finally received my 5k+ and will try to play with AC, steam and pitool settings tomorrow, need it as smooth as can be. Have 1080ti btw.
Cheers!

There is nothing to change , sharp picture & solid 90 fps with gtx 1080ti
I can recommed 72hz mode for other sim games which need PP ( like PC 2, IL 2, Dirt Rally)

Can someone share the shader patch?

It fails to download using the content manager and when I click the link to download directly it tells me that the download limit has been reached.

That wasn’t very nice. I was just going to go to bed when you laid this on me. One lap with my Williams FW31 around both of these fantastic tracsk and I knew I was going to be up awhile. Great recommend Yata. THX

one more ā€œvintageā€ track for you @dogbite , clear winner for me among all AC track mods :slight_smile:

1.2GB - huge amount of work with so many deatils

recommending with contrast + 3
brightness -1

Yep have Feldbergring. Much fun.

BTW have you tried Wiliams FW37 prepared by VRC Modding Team ?

love sound of the engine and visual quality , little tip: at setup you need go down with wheel assist up to 40 % becouse at default setting FFB is way too weak

I have, but I like their 7 speed myself. I spent about 3 years driving the Williams in IRacing because Williams had shared so much telemetry and other data and worked with Iracing closely.
Using IRacing as the template, I judge VRC’s FW31’s handling around F1 tracks like Spa and Nürburgring to be a good match.
Both cars handle really nice.-

I know you guys love old vintage tracks and I love them too. But have you tried Shuto Revival Project? It’s an enourmous map that recreates the whole Shutoko Highway in Japan(the one that the Wangan Midnight games are based on). I used to drive this track with the Night mod(this was before SOL came out) in VR in my Rift a year ago, and the experience was just…gasp…ORGASMIC! I can only image what it’s like in the Pimax.

I’m not a huge fan of city track in AC becouse gfx is a bit limited compared to PC2.
All city tracks looks amazing in PC2 like Azure, Monaco and so on.
However I cant even find link to download Shuto Highway. Checked their webpages and there is only option to become a patreon which I refuse to be…

May someone could explain me how to run asseto corsa in vr? Im totaly new. Project cars 2 is vr game and it launches ok, but this is just run on my monitor. And I dont have any vr controlers so I cant navigate in steam vr.Only have one base station and virtual desktop.

hi, go to assetto corsa settings and chose Oen Vr mode in videos.
to recenter Vr headset Ctrl/Space bar.
i strongly recomend using content manager, not necesary to run AC in Vr but makes the games sooo much better :slight_smile:

Thanks, now it works. Also instaled those two mods. Cant say it is much better cause I didnt played this game earlier :slight_smile: Still can’t find how to adjust my seat position in game.

on the right when in game (when in car) move your mise to the right of the screen, an app column should appear.
There you ll find some option, for the driver position click on the ā€œhelmetā€.
