Basics of ACC Setups | Assetto Corsa Competizione Basics #6

[@01Laffey]

For the ECU map it is generally correct, except for the Porsche, where fastest ECU maps are 5, 6, 7,8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 in that order. For every other car, 1 is the most powerful engine map.

[@PowerQ]

Thanks for posting, I didn't know about that!

[@theguy1633]

I thought the fastest ECU on the porsche is 8? Not 5

[@PowerQ]

I've read that the 5-8 ecu maps on the Porsche are equally powerful but the throttle linearity changes

[@ThomasWardman]

@@PowerQ Just so you know, your statement isn't really true. Every car is different and some (like McLaren) have an emergency ECU that uses loads of fuel with no performance difference, its and ''engine cooling mode''; I think its ECU 7. Also, most cars have a ''pace car'' mode as well. www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/ecu-maps-implementation.54472/

[@NeTiTrea]

Porsche ECU map settings are the following. 1 normal power&consumption least progressive throttle map 2 normal power&consumption progressive throttle map 3 normal power&consumption aggressive throttle map 4 normal power&consumption linear throttle map 5 Qual power, high consumption, least progressive throttle map 6 Qual power, high consumption, progressive throttle map 7 Qual power, high consumption, aggressive throttle map 8 Qual power, high consumption, linear throttle map 9 Low power, low consumption, progressive throttle map

Let me know if this guide was helpful, or are you just more confused by my ramblings?

[@rkoburakevo5596]

nice guide thanks

[@frankvanderheide]

Absolutely helpful!

[@guidohorvall1484]

Deffently helped as I was doing it completely wrong lol. I'll let you know if I improve.

[@joewoods4098]

I used Dave’s coach academy, brought 2 setup bundles takes a while to get used to the handling etc but once you do you will be a lot quicker and it was easier and shorter then playing with setups for ages but thanks for the help

[@seraphss]

THANK YOU!

[@KastaRules]

Concise and to the point, I love it. Now, let's talk about suspensions!

[@janezpungartnik3149]

Regarding the ECU MAPS.. it depends on a car, what mode a number has. For example Porsche's fastest map is 8.. You have a really good chart and description on ACC forums. It explains every car's ECU and Mapping. Also one thing to note, always start adjusting the splitter, and then the wing. Most cars on aggressive setup you don't have to change the wing. Also, brake bias, always keep in mind where the engine is in the car, and set the bias accordingly. TBH all this stuff is kinda hard to explain, so props for making it kinda easy for people. PS: Hot Lap always resets you tires, so setting up a car should always be done in practice. And remember, each track, car, weather, temp... all depends on how you set the car up. There is a channel on KZbin called Aris.Drives, and he's a dev at Kunos. He had a very detailed stream on Brands Hatch... about setups, physics, weather.. You wouldn't believe the amount of detail in physics and weather that this game has.. Anyway.. i'm just here to hear i'm a beautiful baby boy, that's all. Cheers.

[@PowerQ]

Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! I had to research a lot for this video as I am also kind of a noob when it comes to setting up cars. I tried to make as simple as possible for anyone to understand. I came across the ecu map chart, but I think I should've read it better because most cars had ecu map 1 as the fastest and the higher number were fuel saving maps. So I just assumed it was the case for all of them Thanks for teaching me some things at least and I'll check out Aris' videos very soon!

[@janezpungartnik3149]

​@@PowerQ To be fair, i think only the Porsche has it set on 8 as the fastest. Every other car, MAP 1 is the fastest. For dry that is. Every car has it's own wet MAP also.. Explaining setups is a pain in the ass! You really have to have engineering 101 down to make the most of it.. But this is the best quick video about how to start setting up a car so keep it up. Love these videos man! Always watch them with my coffee;)

[@PowerQ]

@@janezpungartnik3149 Thanks for that huge compliment, I was searching for shorter setup videos but couldn't find any, so I tried to fill that void! I'll keep the videos coming!

[@MattZiggy]

What's the better ACC forum to go to? Also, I drive the Porsche 991.2 and I always start with lowering the front, the back, then bump up my wing. I've never adjusted the splitter...so you're saying it's better to adjust the splitter first?

[@katsuro9226]

this guy is very good, precise and to the point compared to my teachers at school

[@JPKelly-xr7tr]

Outstanding Series: concise and to the point!

[@crashedace692]

I really appreciate this series and especially this vid! I am going to start sim racing this winter and have been researching on how to improve myself. I have always felt confident in my driving braking ability but my car setups and tuning have left something to be desired. Typically, I run more oversteery builds and with my aggressive drive style, I tend to be less consistent . I know I can find a couple tenths in my times and be able to race harder, longer. Thanks to this vid!

[@billymcmahon3383]

Thankyou PQ You might have cleared my on track issue. Ill save your clip and probably go over and over it until I got the info in my thick head

[@PowerQ]

Simracing is terribly difficult in the beginning, so keep at it, try to learn as much as you can and you'll get there eventually

[@drvkc]

I've been wanting this game since it came out but I don't have a PC. This game just dropped on console a couple days ago and this vid is going to help me a bunch on making tweaks I need to my setups. Thank you. You got yourself another subscriber.

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful :D

[@sharonbutchart1502]

Same lol

[@Captivateitmedia]

Loving these vids. They have helped me immensely. Where I am confused about is what do all the things that happen within a race are...ie; yellow flags, blue flags, how and when to alter drivers, and leaving the pits and why at times one gets another warning before leaving the pits, even when going the pit limiter... just wish there was a manual for racing and or assetto corsa comp to read... :). But still pushing through forums and vids...just wish there was one file or vid etc. Even a PDF perhaps. ;) but your vids do help for sure... keep up the great work.

[@anugrahilhami1428]

i lost it when toe out = drift mode LOL

[@josemanuelespinosapastor3452]

Hello, the manage of the brake conducts also make influence in the Tyres temp, thx for the video, good explain.

[@clydehunt9599]

Awesome video look forward to more in depth setup advice

[@eboz3213]

I think with a wet setup the ride hight is higher. So you would want to chance Psi & ride height if you like the wet preset

[@josephrobson2339]

As for aero tips. If your driving a rear engine car, mclaren 720 is terrible for it, also Porse or nsx ect, if aero balance is over around 7 or 8 % fron if will lose control as a hobby mid corner. Try reducing this to around a 3-5% bias. Thank me later.

[@darkblueturbo]

Won’t be touching setup for a while. Although toe in at the rear could be useful in that Porsche

[@kennedychikeka7699]

Have you changed your fov using a fov calculator? If yes did you find any difference between the calculated one and the default one?

[@PowerQ]

Yeah I did! The default fov didn't really give me the spatial awareness I needed, with the calculated fov I have a better sense of the track and the speeds. I have a better feeling of how far away things are, when to brake and when to turn into corners

[@bedevil1]

Perfect. Thank you!

[@Sicdave58]

Great info. Big help 👍thanks

[@prince_warhero]

You could have covered brake bias I feel that's also very important

[@sighange]

Thanks for this informative video, especially for noobs like me. One question: what setting affects the tire temp? I raced 2 days ago and despite the pressure being in range, the tires were still blue in some parts even by the end of a 90 min race. Any clue? And tire wear, how is it represented? I saw a score in the garage, of 3 but don’t know the range. And can we see a marker while driving? Tks

[@PowerQ]

The tire pressure is affected by the psi you set while setting up, the track temp, and how hard you drive on them i.e. tires that are on the outside while going through a corner get a lot warmer than the tires on the inside. You can also close your brake ducts to keep more heat in the brakes and tires, or open them up if they get too hot

[@sighange]

@@PowerQ Thanks a lot for the prompt answer. Much appreciated

[@Leosousa1]

Thanks fro share this great content. I have 16.8 in spa with 18 degrees on track. And when the temperature is higher, like 28 I can't do 17.8 for example. I basically use the agressive setup with few changes in tyre pression in the 16.8 lap and 18 degrees. I tried to increase the tyres pression in the higher temperatures but isn't work. If you can help me, please, take a look in my lap at spa, please. Thank you!

[@chilipeet4610]

Oky 2 questions from my part, could you explain what brake bias does? That seems to be an important setup change from what ivr seen. And also, where are you from? Cant figure out from the accent and its killing me 😂

[@PowerQ]

I will try to do a video on more setup stuff like brake bias! And I'm from the Netherlands :D

[@chilipeet4610]

@@PowerQ oh gucci

[@Guiliano_PPRacing_]

@@PowerQ i knew it😝

[@EndureRacing]

it's basically a percentage of the braking force going to the front wheels. Eg, 60% brake bias means the front wheels are using 60% of the total braking force. ideally you want the brake bias set more towards the front of the car so don't lock the rears and spin 😅 hope this helps

[@TheLauker]

Hi, will you talk more about car settings? Because it seems to me that what you have said so far was not enough. Thanks for the videos

[@PowerQ]

This is ofcourse the basics of setups, but I can take a look at the rest of the settings and see if I can make it short and sweet!

[@TheLauker]

@@PowerQ Thank you very much and I hope you will do a video with the rest of the settings

[@AA-sr9ul]

Hello PowerQ. What about brake power? I heard that it adjusted in depends on the track.

[@PowerQ]

To be honest, I don't know

[@lucacavall8]

can you make another video where you explain the ramainin things of the setups?

[@dannyoneill7322]

Thankyou my beautiful Pappa

[@BeefGold]

I have a question. I've spectated a rain race at hungaroring. You can imagine the mess. Mixed class, as well. In any case, all the people I was able to spectate used the first fuel map. I'm talking rain where the only indications of a car in front of you are a dot on the map and a plume of spray further obstructing the view. Is there something to using the most aggressive fuel map in this situation? Or, is it probably why they all spun at least twice?

[@PowerQ]

I don't know to be honest

[@slatanek]

The TC in a GT3 car doesn't work by applying brake, but instead they use ignition timing to limit the engines power output

[@PowerQ]

I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know :D

[@grizta30]

I think it depends on the individual car?

[@slatanek]

grizta30 u might be right. Finding info on that is difficult. The 458 has some form of cutting the power at engine level.

[@mli7822]

@@slatanek those are tc2... Which cuts the engine power by some percent?

[@slatanek]

Matt Lijauco my understanding is: TC1 when to cut the power, TC2 by how much. Not an expert though.

[@BulletESV]

traction control pump's the breaks??? i dont seem to understand that, i thought it cuts power slightly

[@ihababbas9863]

This is great

[@TheGnarTube]

I highly disagree with the "change 1 variable at a time" method. In some cases, changing 2 or more things simultaneously will enable each change to work better. If they were changed alone, the effect would not have occurred. Similar to lighting a match by itself, nothing happens, pour some gas out by itself, nothing happens, but do them both together.... and you have romain grosjean

[@PowerQ]

I see your point, but before you can make effective change, you gotta know what the impact will be, which might be hard for people who are new to changing setups

[@MattZiggy]

How often do you bump up TC during the race?

[@PowerQ]

Whenever I feel like I'm sliding too much

[@carl-emilchristensen3738]

On most of the cars i cant change the front splitters, do you know why this is and has anyone else experienced this?
