ACC: Do This BEFORE You Change Anything Else

[@mvanj]

Finally someone who explains tyre pressures properly on ACC so that I can understand what to do, and how to adjust it. Thank you, this is going to help me a lot!

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. Happy to help 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kinanbachour7371]

ngl this channel helped me understand GT7 when I started like two years ago and now helps me with ACC. Goated channel!!

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. Happy to help man. Love to hear it 👍🏻👍🏻

[@RetroDillon]

It took several replays because I am terrible at maths but I finally get it, it's clicked for me in theory, now I am exicted to apply this knowledge practically. Thank you so much for the clear explanation and for showing the process 👊

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. Glad you got it sorted 👍🏻👍🏻

[@RetroDillon]

@@Doughtinator it works an absolute charm, I was gaining upto 6-7 tenths up on some sections of Kyalami meanwhile on other tracks, upto a second off my lap times with proper equal temps across all 4 whilst I figured out my camber levels

[@leandrobedeschi]

The best explanation about tyre pressure that I have seen. Thanks man!

[@Doughtinator]

Glad you found it useful 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dfsb6881]

It’s annoying that my build always goes over. My fastest laps were from an NSX but lost because of pits. Close second was REmemiya but the top speed sucks. Finally got it with this one. Thanks my guy!👊🏽

[@Gallifreii-games]

I have been searching for a while for a guide for how you tweak tyre pressure, super useful. Thanks!

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. Happy to help man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Agreed this is tbh all you really need to compete. I know mamy who use safe setups and just adjust tire pressure and use engine map1. Including myself and i can compete at the highest level. Tbh training this way makes you faster then others because then when you do use a crazy setup you realize you are faster then others. I would rather rely on my skill and push it. I will say i prefer pushing and being on the edge of grip at all times and ive found im able to be very fast this way. I dont manage my tires the best but they seem to last for me. Maybe its because i understand weight traanfer and i keep my car pretty level throughout.

[@johntisbury]

Thank you for this detailed explanation it was most helpful and I will be following your approach. I did notice in your setup menu you had brake pads 2. Reading Coach Dave's Academy notes it talks about the 4 pad options for GT3 cars. Pad 1 being the most used as they are designed for short races under 3 hours. Might be worth mentioning as it will impact braking efficiency and performance.

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah I was just using a default setup as a base to explain. 100% listen to everything coach Dave says. He knows his stuff 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jimburdeshaw5200]

FANTASTIC information! I've been playing ACC for awhile and that has to be the best Video I've seen describing how to get the correct Tire Pressure! Thank you very much for the great video and info! I just subscribed and will look through more of your videos! Awesome!

[@Doughtinator]

Awesome. Glad you found it useful. Happy to help 👍🏻

[@OrangeSunshine15]

If only my real life teachers were as good as you, life would have been different. Thanks for the video, this is really helpful.

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. Happy to help 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrWes3187]

Great information and given in a way that helps with understanding the setup hud too. Thanks.

[@Doughtinator]

Glad it was helpful! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jamesbeilby8772]

Great video, Nice and simple to understand. Question how to you control the temperature between outside and inside, looking at OMI there is often quite a difference.

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. I do plan to cover that in a future video as I need to do more testing. But you can reduce the negative camber to get more heat for middle and outside. This could also help with tire wear too. But I do wonder if there is a negative to this as most of the setups don’t seem to aim to balance tire temps 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ll test done more and make a video when I work it out 👍🏻

[@mohanedshiddo]

Mate this was super useful! Really appreciate it

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. Happy to help 👍🏻

[@EddyvanPetersen]

Thanks for all your grate input , I’m just started to play acc en your help is wonderful thanks 👍🏻💪🏻

[@Doughtinator]

Happy to help man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Lightwriter1]

Great information. Super helpful. Thank you so much for this!

[@Doughtinator]

Happy to help man. Feel free to join the discord linked in the description. Plenty of people to help you in there and done fun things going on too 👍🏻

[@Alborg83]

Thanks for this, really useful!

Happy to help man.

[@thomasneit880]

hello! Did you mount you mic to the rig? I have the same rig and thinking about this mic but not sure if I need a stand or not.

[@davegarwood9465]

Just seen this Chris, great advert for the server 👍

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks Dave. Yeah I think the server is superb. It’s honestly re ignited the fire for racing again.

[@davegarwood9465]

@@Doughtinator just need to get the numbers up with a spread of abilities- I spent both races last night pretty much driving around on my own - can’t compete with you guys

[@supercededman]

Chris, did ACC change the recommended tyre pressure settings AFTER this video was made? I'm going to get back into ACC, and seem to recall there was something where Kunos dropped the recommended temperatures.

[@Doughtinator]

I think the change was made before this video. Update 1.9 lowered the optimal pressure and I think made the window of operation wider. Unless it changed again though 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve not been back on for a little bit.

[@GreyAlive]

Great content as always, I'm trying ACC in the last days, it's a different style of driving and racing. Do you guys have the specific settings for the G923 Logitech? I've tried the one in the previous video but I feel the wheel a bit "light", so I setted something around 120% gain and 50% road effect...I use a strong FFB in GT7 at 10, I like a strong wheel, thanks :)

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. You can also raise dynamic dampening too. That should help to add some more weight to the wheel too 👍🏻 I think I may have nudged up dynamic dampening since the settings in that video too.

[@GreyAlive]

@@Doughtinator Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow!

[@brokentilebench]

I usually run with road effects never above 18%, feels awful on the G29 beyond 20% for road effects.

[@CMH_2001]

What is the optimal tire temp for porsche cup and M2 cup in v.1.9

[@Mat_Gallusman]

Great one !

[@Antonio-ty4ur]

Amazing video, thank you

[@Doughtinator]

Happy to help man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@graemelarsen1991]

Again good comment, does ACC racing you are organizing cost any money?😀😃

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. Yeah it will be costing us. Right now @rashadow has taken the initial steps so head over there and drop a 👍🏻 But it’s completely free for anyone to use

[@guillesanchez8816]

My right wheels are thinner in the left center stripe and i cannot change that no matter what changes I apply to the tires....any advice?

[@CynRacing]

Reduce pressure in that tyre/add or remove camber depending on tyre wear

[@mattikake9859]

I'm seeing a lot of streamers say the exact optimal tyre pressure is 27.2 in patch 1.9?

[@Doughtinator]

I think it used to be this. But I recall it being lower in 1.9. I don’t know if it’s changed again since I made this video though. I don’t think it has.

[@thomasneit880]

BTW what happened to your SA :D

[@tigerbalm666]

jUST TRIED acc, WHY IS THERE no effing GRIP? Feels like driving on ice.

[@Doughtinator]

When you get the tires up to temperature and you get used to the ‘feel’ you will start to feel the grip. Make sure you’re using ABS and Traction Control. It’s essential in ACC 👍🏻

[@thomasneit880]

You forgot about wet conditions.

[@CMH_2001]

Man you are using wrong brakes, brake nr 2 is for 30 min+ race

[@Baraba000]

How is it possible?, same car, same tracks, set the same setup and today I have good grip, tomorrow I don't have good grip. What is wrong?.
