What I reallllllllly wish is that the game companies offered a very detailed online booklet that has a more clear understanding of each adjustments offered in a way for all users to understand. I get why they stopped booklets due to online purchases of virtual discs, but doesn’t mean virtual booklets should have been removed too. Especially that games are more higher priced now too. Step it up game companies… as the details in the in game details aren’t so clear at times… perhaps even diagram pics of what is in fact changing…just sayin.

[@BOTRacing]

I am so glad you have this video! I just bought ACC and was going to test it out today. I spent 2 weeks straight figuring out set up in AMS 2. This video will GREATLY reduce that time for ACC. Thank you!!!

[@peterbrorsson5714]

Tested the Audi yesterday at Spa. Lowered it and adjusted the wing (from default aggressive) and gained 2.5 seconds!! on a lap. To note is that on Monza I found it quite ok with default aggressive, only changed the pads. I am novice in ACC though (mainly played R3E) and I have primarily been driving the Porsches.

[@Tortellinii]

Pls stop spreading misinformation and buying into the myth about brake pads, pad 2 is in the preset for a reason and it’s not endurance. Pads 1 performance is higher only in a strict temperature window which most beginners won’t have control of and even then difference is laughably low, they are more aggressive and harder to control with way less progressive feel, while pad 2 is way more progressive, easier to brake with, operates in way bigger temperature range and will enable every beginner to understand his pedal work better. Pad 2 is a better pad to use with no performance inpact even in a competitive environment

[@ohne_speed]

Yes! Also engine map1 is not always the highest performing and the "new" (it's out for like 1.5 years now) DHE tyres should be between 27.3-27.8...

[@crawfordbrown75]

For anyone who doesn't know, this guy is perhaps one of the fastest ACC drivers out there.

[@cat-yi9cg]

Like Porsche 8 is the fastest engine map

This is why we as a community are just better ❤ Thanks for clearing that up! I just learned, that Pad one had the better performance and in return they don't last as long. Clearly my mistake then 😅 - Regards, Joe

[@mrgusse]

If Tortellinii says so, I will stop changing to Pad 1

[@matthewbrady7848]

This video, along with the setup tip video, took me from absolute frustration to now enjoying the game. With the console update yesterday I dove back in after not touching ACC since last year when I purchased my PS5. Before I returned I found your advice. I began using just a couple of simple tips, primarily around tire temps and trying to be consistent lap after lap. What a game changer your tips are for me. I now am looking forward to further exploring the game.

[@pydu91]

Be careful, now that the game is updated to 1.9.x on consoles aswell, the ideal tyre pressures are anywhere between 26.1 and 26.9 psi roughly. Changing the pressure in this window will change the car balance, but not the max grip out of the tyre. If you still aim for 27.5, you are overinflated! You'll always be good to go with something around 26.5

I have engine map set at 1, for all races. Also, kinda handy to be able to switch to 2, if crew Chief tells you, "You don't have enough fuel to finish race." I've switched from 1 to 2, in those situations to help stretch my fuel consumption when Pit Stop not an option.

The thing with the Engine Maps is as far as I remember the different cars have the same option on different numbers. I think Porsche was on 3 or 4 whats on 1 on other Cars.

[@paradoxicalcat7173]

All the cars are pretty much the same, except Porche (IIRC). They vary in count as well, but most have 12 maps. 1-4 are dry, 5-8 are wet, and 9-12 are pace car. 1 is qual, 2 is normal racing, and 3 and 4 are progressive and linear economy modes. @@Vukii92

Something I wish someone would have told me earlier was how important it is to have the right balance in TC and ABS never knew how much a high TC setting was holding me back until I lowerd it from 3 to 1 and exited the second coner in monza and gained 3 tenths directly same for the first braking by getting it right between brake bias, brake pad, brake duct and ABS I could move my braking point a whole lot more forward

[@paradoxicalcat7173]

If you watch the TC light, it actually doesn't activate all that often. Mostly at race start, starting from a standstill, and when you go off-track. On-track, it rarely activates, which is why TC off hardly makes any difference. @@joshjackburns

[@grandehussar1868]

I believe it depends on the car whether engine map 1 or highest number is the aggressive one? I think with >Porscjhe 001 GT3-R and EVO the maps work differently

[@KainsTorment]

Hi can you tell me if it’s possible to remap Accelerate / Brake and steering all from the D-Pad?

[@aryah1513]

The 1st thing you should change is the fuel. The brakes though are as follows: 1- Qualifying 2- Race 3- Rain 4- Endurance I haven't compared how 1/2 feel after 30 minutes specifically but I definitely would expect some inconsistency in #1 And I assume you meant 26.7psi - 27.7 is too high. But that's a huge error for beginners.

[@GeorgioSubs]

I think you may be incorrect about the engine map settings. Aggressive preset always uses the highest power engine map even if its is not #1. This is because the numbers are different based on which car you are driving.

[@joelriva5424]

depends for what car. for exemple in the ferrari the "fast" maps change in power and consumption. in the porsche the power doesn't change but the throttle response does.

[@GeorgioSubs]

@@joelriva5424 aggressive preset is always max power regardless of number. Maybe you prefer different throttle pedal response but the video suggests that #1 is the highest power setting which is incorrect.

[@rankisdumb214]

I've found the difference between engine mapping varies from car to car! There are times when having a more linear or progressive throttle is better then using the most aggressive throttle map.. It's not necessary the HP that changes. It's the window where you get the most torque and HP! It can be instant when you press the throttle or it can be progressive. The Porsche is a good example of this as it has several different engine maps. Some for qualifying, others for racing and wet weather. 7 being the most aggressive and 8 being the default. While 1-4 I believe are for race environments. Most of the eSports streams I've seen show Porsche users using 8 but technically 7 is the most aggressive. As for the ride height it can definitely affect every aspect of the cars handling! You can also achieve the same effect with proper damping and spring rates! Again every vehicle is different. The Audi for example is extremely fast with the stock aggressive set up. Where it struggles is over curbs. The ride height is a way to compensate for this but finding the right damping will result in a better more stable car over the course of the race. I pretty much Exclusively use the Audi Evo II at this point cause I find it to be a very competitive car on every track. The two most important aspect of that particular car are your damping and understanding taking it over 8100 rpms is detrimental as you suffer a massive drop in HP and torque over 8100rpms. I've found some of the mid engine cars like the Audi and the McLaren can become very unstable as you burn off fuel if you have to high of a rake.. It's important to get the suspension right vs simply compensating with the ride height! This is probably the best set up guide for a beginner I've seen to date. It's very well written and explains things in good detail. I'm not familiar with the author/s but I found it extremely helpful and full of information I didn't know even after playing the game for a few months. I apologize if the link is not allowed.. There are several out there to choose from but this one rarely comes up on people's searches. It's always Coach Dave and the other more popular channels.. trinacriasimracing.wordpress.com/acc-beginner-setup-guide/

And this is resulting in an in-active steering wheel, that is resulting in crashing my car. When this menu appears in mid-race, i constanly i have to press the key to make close it again.

[@bobsimpson5886]

Have I understood this right? The Gain (FFB) setting in ACC should be as high as possible so that you can see the clipping (red) indication when in game? Would this mean I need to reduce my wheelbases FFB profile setting from 100% to a value that means I am not struggling against the strength of the wheelbase. Currently I have 100% on the wheelbase profile and have the Gain set to 50%.

[@CHAMPIONJOE]

Sorry if it wasn't clear enough in the video! Your goal shoud be to have as view clipping moments as possible. So having the bar red = bad.

[@gsheist]

Check your wheel base manufacturer to see what they recommend for both base FFB and in-game settings. I know Fanatec has a specific recommendation for ACC that balances the settings between the two for best performance.

[@heelandtoeknee]

Fanatec DD1 here at 75% FFB via Fanalab and 75% ingame gain. 100% dynamic damping, rest at 0%. 400hz frequency. Feels good to me. 😊

[@justpostedagain]

I think the advice is generally to reduce gain in game until you eliminate most clipping, then adjust in your wheelbase settings to get the strength you are after. On my R9 I have 100% on the wheelbase and something like 80% in game.

[@schmid1.079]

Most advice I've seen Online is to use 100% on the wheel software and set the gain ingame to your liking.

ACC might be a great sim but it has atrocious game design and they need to do better for AC2.

The stock settings make you a slow driver. THEN you have to retrain yourself for the braking points, the apex acceleration points and your gear for corners. You actually do yourself an injustice by learning the ropes with default setups. First thing is deal with the toe and camber settings. Its literally a cheat code. You wont know how a car feels until you do. Then brake bias. Then ride height. Youve probably already learned fuel and tire temps by now.
