How Engine Maps work in Assetto Corsa Competizione!

[@babonds]

Just jumped in from ac to competizione, and your videos really REALLY helped, thanks a lot!

[@TraxionGG]

Great to hear!

[@The.JZA.]

I find it very frustrating that a lot of this stuff isnt explained in the game, not even a basic explanation. They really should give us proper explanations of the features. I mean if we were real race car drivers we would have engineers that explain everything to us in great detail. Nothing would be left to chance or for us to just work out by trial and error.

“The Knockhill of California” - So accurate!

This is very helpful.🏅 Love the Dave challenges.

[@XBOXonPC]

Very helpful video, thanks guys👍

[@TraxionGG]

You are very welcome!

[@NarekAvetisyan]

These description should be in the game. But nevertheless thx.

[@mattbass4807]

Great video more of this

[@TraxionGG]

As long as there is more ACC advice to give, we will do our best to keep making videos! - John

Now I know which engine map is perfect for my wide bmw to engage wide mode in suzuki

[@TraxionGG]

And now the competition will need a different kind of map to find a way around you 😎

[@R1Looter]

When you're talking about 'the slowest', what amount of time are you generally leaving behind? I currently drive the AMG and Nissan GTR mostly.

[@TraxionGG]

Hello! It’s generally not huge, depending on which map/car it can be anything from a few tenths through to a full second. Sometimes, ‘slower’ maps won’t actually give you slower laptimes, it can allow you to get on the power earlier in some scenarios or just give you a more stable platform out of corners. The slowest ‘race’ maps tend to be quite a long way off, because they are designed for emergency situations where you need to lower your fuel consumption and make it without a pitstop. The safety car specific maps are miles off, if you watch the bit at 1:51, you can see just how slow those maps are off the line😅 Hopefully you found the guide useful, all the best! - John

[@TraxionGG]

Ohh, I should also add my thoughts on the two cars you mentioned. I haven’t really played around with the GTR personally to give you an answer on that one, but I can tell you that map 2 on the AMG really isn’t too bad, and it saves a lot of fuel, allowing you to start with less and therefore save weight! Best way to test them for yourself is jump in hotlap mode and set times on each of the maps once you are up to speed 😊

[@R1Looter]

@@TraxionGG Awesome! You are great man, so happy I found your channel! Understandably you haven't raced with the GTR that much, it's been pretty much unused in my 70 hours of play so far. That's why I picked it to start learning hahah.

[@TraxionGG]

@@R1Looter It’s funny because it’s one of the best feeling cars there is. I always find it feels like you can brake late, carry speed, it’s stable etc. But weirdly, it just doesn’t translate into lap times on most occasions…

[@R1Looter]

@@TraxionGG Damn it's like you're describing my setup testing so far. I have only done a 1:57.8 on the nurburgring so far while my AMG setup was way less extensive and I have done a 1:56.7 with that. It's my go to track to do some first testing with a new car. What's your favorite track overall in ACC?

[@soarabove337]

Sooo… maybe running 8 in the NSX @ Misano had something to do with my constant 1:42 times… 🤔 🤦‍♂️ I figured “more = better power” here, so clearly, this vid was yet again helpful. Still, the # in the middle being the qualy setting strikes me as an odd way to map it for race teams. 🤷‍♂️

[@marcusberggren9241]

Perfect timing actually.

[@TraxionGG]

That’s good to hear 😊

[@marcusberggren9241]

@@TraxionGG I'm fairly new to the game and there's a lot of things on the setup screen which is not explained properly. Could you tell me whether 4 or 1 is open on brake ducts? My crew chief keeps saying my rear left is overheating

[@TraxionGG]

@@marcusberggren9241 With brake Ducts, the higher the number, the more open they are. So if your brakes are overheating or even your tyres, try increasing the brake duct size. Just so you know we have a full 3 part setup guide on the channel, it runs through every setup option in the game and explains what they all mean (and which way to click). Hopefully this helps you and best of luck with your racing Marcus!😎 - John

[@marcusberggren9241]

@@TraxionGG thanks for your very informative answer. You got yourself a subscriber eager to learn more. I want to be able to set up any car as much as possible to my driving style. I'm gonna check those setup videos out. Do you have videos on specific cars though? All the cars I've tried have their little weird quirks about them so if not, maybe it could be a video idea. I think that'd be awesome. I have watched others recommending the Ferrari and for me the F488 and the Evo version both are fun to drive albeit on a knife edge and I have yet to figure out how to keep the fun and responsiveness while making the car more stable.

[@TraxionGG]

@@marcusberggren9241 Thanks, it’s appreciated! We don’t have a car specific setup video, but we do however have a car selection guide. Basically, I run through each of the tracks on the game and tell you which cars characteristics suit each one. Not quite what you are looking for but might help you regardless! - John

[@joelcabral1467]

hello thanks for the information but I have a question, in acc ps4 when you put the aggressive setup it recommends map 8. if it is the lowest, why they recommend it for aggressive setup? or is it different on pc? thanks for the video

[@TraxionGG]

You are very welcome! That sounds strange, I didn’t think there was a difference on console. Was it the Porsche you were looking at by any chance? The Porsche has Quali maps from 5-8 so is the only car I would expect to have map 8 as the default aggressive map on any circuit. I haven’t checked through all of the cars default setups for every circuit so I might be wrong, but I’d be surprised! - John

[@joelcabral1467]

@@TraxionGG Thank you very much for the answer I use the porsche you helped me a lot, the truth is that the game changes a lot ... I play in play station 5 and sometimes the fps are lowered when the rivals are in pits and for greater problem the values ​​of the setups they are different, and I tried to look for setups but whenever I want to pass them the values ​​are very different from those of pc 😔

[@TraxionGG]

@@joelcabral1467 Ah that’s a shame. I’ve actually never played the console version personally, but I’ve heard from everyone who has that it’s a little disappointing relative to the PC version. Hopefully as things develop they continue to improve the console versions, I’m sure they will as the game is hugely popular. I’m glad we have helped, have a good day! - John

[@rickdubbink]

@@joelcabral1467 i remember the original AC being completely different too, setups were very simplified and it took a while to figure out setups from pc

[@highsiderider]

I drive the Jaguar and it ha 6 ECU settings. For some reason, I set it to 6 and it seem fastest at start.

[@DrFixable]

awesome explenation thanks @traxionGG exactly what i needed to know

[@bobkin611]

I've been running the 991.2 911 GT3R in level 10..... I thought higher was better.. -_-. Boy was I wrong. Thank you for the info

[@thommy86]

How about the m4 is the map 1 most progressive or is it 8?

[@LightBWK]

A chart would make these maps easier to understand.

[@zethyuen8859]

It's fine we got it

[@ct8618]

So my question is, when a throttle map is being called "least progressive" does that make it more aggressive than the "aggressive" throttle map. I'm not a fan of the wording for some.

[@ct8618]

I don't think you understood my original question.

[@ct8618]

@ILoveFishyx yeah, I'm inclined to agree. I'd say technically the wording implies it's an even more aggressive curve than the aggressive map, but I have a hunch that's not what they mean.

[@thommy86]

@xILoveFishyx I just put on wet tires every race. I’m definitely going wets now,spa optimum

[@robertsarkozi9759]

there's not a really chance after 1 year,but can someone help me how about the m4 engine maps? so which is the safety car pace?which from which is the wet condition?and which to which is the dry condition?

[@mediumsizedcal]

The Knockhill of California.

[@Howlingbrown]

Not every car has the same mapping...oh my lord

[@thommy86]

Do u know what map is the most aggressive in the m4?

[@Howlingbrown]

@@thommy86 you're gonna have to look that up dude

[@samscast]

Bro…. I been using ECU map 8 for every race.. I mean I have won a race with us before but bruh I coulda been unsung ECUmap 2 this whole time and gain line 3 seconds…..

[@justdoit_franky1336]

🐐

[@TheRaceEngineer007]

The maps are the wrong way around in regards to the real deal with Astons. 1 is no ALS, 2 and 3 moderate ALS, 4 and 5 agressive ALS, and 6 to 12 are failsaves to override sensors...

[@Lifeguruonafence]

I can’t believe Iv been running the NSX on the slowest map this whole time 🙈🙈🤦🏻‍♂️

[@TraxionGG]

Nightmare 😭 Well at least now you will be faster 😅

[@DJeb86]

Well, can you slow down when you talk, i don’t know where are you from but your accent isn’t easy to catch !
