[@ryansanthu]

Ive watched every damn big channel on the basics to get started in ACC, every single one assumed you had prior racing knowledge and just straight went for this car, that car, explained tire temps in general and setups in general. All of this assuming you knew shit about racing, when in reality all you knew was car names. This video, this damn video explained to me everything that 20 previous videos from 20 different channels could not and that is the BASICS OF TIRE TEMPS WITH RESPECT TO THE TRACK TEMP AND HOW THE FECK ALL OF THIS WORKS IN TANDUM. My man for this alone you get my SUB and my WATCH TIME. Thank you very very much. And as a game producer working at EA, I really wanted someone to explains basics that appeals to very new players and you are one such person.

[@tidgney]

Thankyou for the kind words, and welcome to the channel :D!

[@Trk-El-Son]

This has been very helpful in an unexpected way. I am racing in GT7 but have been feeling curious about the “real sims”. This video made me realise that I am perfectly happy with the limitations of GT7. I love learning to drive fast and to race, but 0.2 PSI up or down leaves me absolutely cold. So when people say “GT7 is not a sim” I wil say, “Exactly, they left out the most tedious parts of car racing.” I am a driver, not a mechanic. So thanks for making me realise that.

[@tidgney]

It's a very good take and one I often reference. Project Cars 2 arguably died because they tried to simulate everything rather than focus on the racing itself.

[@Trk-El-Son]

@@tidgneyI just feel I should make an update to my above comment: Because of the positive talk about Simgrid Seasons on ACC, I decided to make a proper effort to get into ACC. The ultra short version is: Oh. My. God. this is unbelievably good. Learning to race in GT7 was fun and all, but ACC is just quite a different world, and I love it. I was worried about having to spend time with tedious tasks like tire pressure, but 1. in the beginning all focus will be on consistent driving, and 2. having to spend a bit more time on various technical aspects, is a very tiny price to pay for a racing experience that is THAT good. My tip for going to ACC from GT7: Spend a full day, take your time, watch some ACC intro vids, have a bit of patience. Do NOT beging the Lamborghini Junior thing that will pop up, because that Lambo is a horrible beginner car. Just go to Single Player and pick something like the BMW M4 and stick with it for while.

[@apeman2981]

Good advice Tidge. Remember if you're coming from GT sport, or GT7, then there will be an adjustment period and you will need TC in ACC. You'll likely need to put in the time in ACC to get quick just like might have done in GT Sport and GT7. Hope to see more people on ACC (PS5) cause its really good following the last update. I just wish we had N24, even though I know Tidge doesn't like it.

[@tristandoran601]

Same can be said for other sim-cade drivers. The mindset of TC and ABS being used only by noobs and not “real” drivers won’t fly with ACC as the real cars utilise the aids albeit the pros use it at the lowest level, ie ABS adjusted for heavy braking but not for turn in otherwise it costs time.

I have just got a wheel and ACC on PS5, I really like it but blimey is it tough to get really quick, I need to put in some real practice before even attempting to get online with it.

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

One thing I found funny on myself. I could never understand how people could make 2:15-16 on Spa where I could rough a 2:25 and maybe a 2:24 if I was really pushing and was never able to take that out. I tried to use setups and cars from others (coach dave, etc) and was never able to be that much competitive. I still am definitely not competitive tbf. Eventually I found a car (in this case the Audi) which suits me perfectly and I ended up just using the aggressive setup, putting the pressures ok and trying out just that. Funnily enough in that day I made a 2:23, going down to a mid 2:21 and I can certainly find another 1 or 2 seconds off of it in spa. Basically changed my mindset to "do what it suits me and not what suits others". Aside from that Tidge, perfect video, it's literally everything you need to know if you're starting out and not need to overcomplicate things

[@BenFilley]

I did coach Dave setups. I’ve found the “fast” setup to be really good. Though it tends to be a little on the oversteer side, I do drop the rear height a click or 2 and it puts it pretty much exactly where I want it. I don’t like setups that exploit the game, like maxing out negative camber and other various “cheats” if it’s not based on how a real car would react I’m just not interested. Gotta have yer tegridy.

[@Ricky_Baldy]

Thanks for this, Tidge. You were my go to guy when learning GTS and now that I'm switching to ACC you're there again with a timely video with exactly what I need to know. Thank you so much

[@rankisdumb214]

My first tip. Don't use the hood view! Use one of the first 2 cockpit views! I started using the hood view and it really hurt my ability to hit the Apex's! Definitely pick one car. I started with the AMG then switched to the McLaren and now use the Audi Evo 2. Next. Learn your cars power band. For example the Audi Evo 2 has its peak HP and torque between 6200-8100rpm. Once you get over 8100rpm your HP and Torque drop off DRASTICALLY! Some cars it's best to max red line and others like the Audi Evo 2 it's significantly faster to stay in the power band. You can easily lose a few tenth of a second shifting to late.

[@tidgney]

I disagree with your 1st tip but it will be different for different people. Yes to the 2nd but they need to make that more clear in the game :). I fell foul to the Audi issue.

[@patrikpfeffer4053]

What? Thought this was a simracer as in simulation, of course you sit in the cockpit not on the hood. I would never sit on the hood even if it ment I could do couple of tens that way. People really do that? Absolutely agree on point 1. btw, thanks for a good video.

[@rankisdumb214]

@@tidgney the problem with starting with the hood view is changing down the line. Using the hood view generally works best with cars that are a little understeering side. Getting the POV right makes all the difference! I used a 49uw so I have to use 28-29 and then back anywhere from 17-30 to get a view that's realistic. The biggest problem I have with the hood view is how it looks on certian cars like the Audi's and McLarens!! Works on for the AMG, BMW, Bentley. Cars that are front engine and have long hoods. Using it on the Audi or McLaren and your using a much different POV

[@Christaz9]

Coming from gt7 joined a league on ACC after 2 months of driving i switched from cockpit view to hood view and it made me faster and more consistent im way more confident then on cockpitview... its personal prefrence in the end i saw the other day some Alien Drivers on pc using Hood view aswell.

Tyre pressure - change based on "Psi hot " not psi on display when you get back to the garage as your tyres will have cooled a bit and lost pressure. "Psi hot" is visible on the Last Reading section for each tyre.

Just the video I needed. ACC noob struggling but as you said I picked one car and one track (must have done 100s of laps) but I was missing the knowledge of what to/not change. I didn't know if it was the setup I'd fiddled with or just me getting into bad habits but I was like 10s off what people were doing online and I'd just lost my way. Your help will allow me to reset and start over as I'd pretty much given up with the game. I don't want to race online rn, just get more consistent and comfortable with the cars. Cheers (subbed).

[@terenceramroop]

Similar situation...but if your 10 sec off pace try running the safe preset. I have the GT4 pack and i started with those cars. A bit slower but more forgiving to learn with.

[@tidgney]

Hopefully that reset has been helping and welcome to the channel :D!

[@ThaJay]

​@@terenceramroop I disagree with using the safe setup. I started on the safe setup and moved to the aggressive setup and I can say it's much better for learning trail braking. If you're spinning out with the aggressive setup, stay clear of the limit for a few laps and regain a calm driving style. Only then start pushing again. It's not a lot more aggressive than the safe setup so it felt really manageable to me.

All very good advice Tidge! I liked Acc when I played it for ps4 but there were not a lot of ppl racing online. Maybe ps5 has more. But the hardest part for me was setting up my controller and wheel to the best settings. Way more settings than GtS/GT7 and no guide really except searching for them online. I will say this game is made for the wheel unlike gt7.

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

100% made for the wheel, it's more hardcore GT3 racing than GT7. Even though GT7 is a fantastic emulator, I think ACC is where it's at if you only want GT3 or GT4

[@ianbarnes6266]

Hey Tidge, What a great help to all us ACC virgins, yeah ive messed about and been happy with P9 or P10 but now I feel confident in making changes, your a star!

[@Manc268]

For ACC just learn 2 things... tyre pressures & ambient air temps - then all cars will be stable!! 10mins per car/track when you know how. Forget tunes for now. you cant really tune it until the tyres are right anyway so learn !!! People keep saying aston & bentley are easy to start but they were not for me. both were a bit twitchy with presets & tyres.. i found the McLaren, Lexus, Lambo & Nismo all easier.. If you are a beginner then forget all the meta bop builds & race what you like.. most players wont be fast enough to notice much until much later on.. i found out of 6 tracks, for me the lexus was fastest on 4 of them.. i know its a second out from newer cars but im 2-5 secs off aliens so it doesnt matter... slow or older cars will still go faster than most of us can drive them so it makes no difference at 1st. Pick a small track & test many cars, find your best car or 3 & go visit the other tracks. It doesnt hold your hand in anyway but its top tier gaming.

[@n3rdstrength]

Another tip is complete the track competencies and go into settings to show this. You need to complete these and grind some safety rating before you can do much online.

[@MrFlyingPanda]

If you’re a noob, take the Ferrari 296. Put 10min race with medium AI, no agressivity and just survive the race You’ll learn a lot. also, don’t touch the Porsche! You’re not ready for that yet ;)

[@XCougar85X]

Nice enought tips. But a few changes i would make after close to 700hrs of ACC I believe Tyre pressures should be around 27.5 not 27.7. As at 27.8 the tire will start to baloon. I use 27.5 I would also advise to check both setups. And ONLY change tyrepresures, fuel, TC and ABS if needed and brakepads 1. New drivers really need to learn how to drive fast before trying to mess with setups. The included setups are good enough, that is one of the massive pros of ACC. Actuall good default setups. And some stable setups are a lot better for new drivers as they generally are a bit higher and therefore it is easier to grow confidence and not get thrown off a cerb because the car bottomed out and sometimes the Safe is actually a very good setup. For example the Huracan Evo Agressive at Susuka is really understeery while the Safe one has a lot more front bite and rotation, being a fair bit faster. Just lower TC and ABS a bit. If you really want to tinker with setups when new though, instead of altering ridehight first. If the rear comes out under braking, it generally is easier to throw the brake balance forward 1-2% and see of that helps. Quite a few cars have quite agressive brake balances on the agressive setup, meaning that the rear can snap if you trailbrake very hard and deep. Or soften the rear antiroll bar 1 click. That will stabilis the car both on entry and exit. Also i would not reccomend to start with FR cars. I would say try the various cars regardless of their design and take the one that feels good for you. As for brakepad 1. Yes it brakes a lot harder, but keep in mind that it also demands more carefull brakepedal management when trailbraking or you will just ABS understeer all the way. And about that. Absolute biggest thing to be quick in ACC is exactly that, learn how to trailbrake. Don't just keep that pedal pressed because you have ABS, don't scrub the tires by putting in too much steering angle or you will blister them. Stay on the racing line or you will get dirty tires affecting times.

Great video mate! For me (quite fast and experienced driver - 5,5k ELO at LFM) , I tested many many setups for many diffrent cars, I also make my own setups. First at the beggining I used CDA setups as base because they were far from great for me and I heard from many people complaining about it too. Now I discovered popometer, go setups and hymo setups and easily I can say, that GO Setups are really great for beginners and adnvaced drivers. When I used CDA as a base, there was a lot of work to put in it to be a good setup. And now, hymos and go setups are really great in stock, without changing anything what I can't say about CDA. Hymo are pointy as hell so probably bettter to start with GO setups, they have "e-sport setup" and safe setup in one so it's gonna be good for most people.

[@teknastyk]

for those that have time i suggest to try and figure out what these do like outside of just acc. if you have a chance try and fiddle with setups for like a regular sports car in something like AC or Gran turismo and try and drift it for example. It will help you avoid certain things when later doing setups for like gt3 and 4s in ACC... It helps if you at first realy exagerate with certain key settings just to figure out what does what. Once you have that down, reset or tone it down to your preference.. do the thing in relatively small increments and preferably one setting at a time and youll be a virtual car mechanic in like a week or so. one note: regarding oversteer understeer after raising or lowering the rideheight in back... one can compensate that by softening/hardening rear suspension and or just inducing more toe in - its just a play of balancing it out for the way you like to drive. But the only frustrating part about doing your own setups in acc besides the tire pressure simulation is after you used up most of the fuel and the cars weight or balance changes a bit - finetuning that out still takes me weeks

These tips are really good for starting out and the video is well presented. Setting up cars is an art and there's no quick short cut for everybody. It's laps and tweaks and laps and tweaks and it still might not be right after hours! I've been tinkering with virtual cars for years and I'm actually a qualified mechanic and experienced driver but I still haven't got it nailed down. Always something else to learn and master. Time and patience are the keys to getting your car dialled in perfectly. Oh and a bit of skill doesn't go a miss. Oh and an understanding of the fundamentals of physics and their relationship to every single part of the car.

I always found myself tweaking the direct drive wheel settings along with slowly evolving a aggressive set up. Good work

[@pikestance4219]

The only difference I would say (as a new player and this works for me) is to try every car. Don't change any of the settings, just pick a track (I generally pick a track with a variety of corners) and then I just go one by one driving each car. Another thing,... Don't be in a big rush to be "good" at the game. It is more fun to learn the "nuance" of each car. Another way to look at it is that you paid for all of these cars, you might as well try them all out. It is the same thing with my Combat flight simulator, Il2 Sturnovik. I flew every plane, but in the end, I went back to the BF 109. So, in the end, you'll probably end up driving almost exclusively one car. It also seems like a bad idea to buy setups. If you have to buy a setup it is because you lack the knowledge to do it yourself. This would indicate you are rushing your learning (or in this case, lack of learning).

If you don't have time to sit on your setup for a single track for many evenings with Motec on the second screen to stay competitive don't even bother.

In ACC set ups don’t do much unless you know the track and car very well. Most people should learn to be fast with the base aggressive set up and only dial in the tire pressures. Be fast with that before messing with the car set up. Plus E Sports paid set ups will generally not work for the average sim racer because that set up comes with a driving style and you don’t know what that is. Only the guy who developed the set up knows the driving style.

[@Koopid]

Look at Ambient temperature. Not the Track temperature. If you have a setup for 20 ambient, its around 1 click psi per 0.8 degree ambient temperature if you are in a hurry :) And skip the hood cam...

[@eje005]

Isn't the tyre pressure window 26.2 to 27.2? Wouldn't 27.7 be over pressure?

Regarding to the psi, it is not the track temperature, but the ambient temperature that you should adjust for. Track temp has a negligible impact on psi. ACC is weird that way.

Just having a sliding scale of “brake pads 1-4” and “brake ducts 1-6” is not helpful 😅 There are also irritating little things, for example on single player races, the AI gain about five seconds on you in pitstops because they have this super jolty transition from pit lane to pit box and up onto their jacks which takes about half a second…FAR quicker than you can pull into/pull out of your pit box.

Talking slower could maybe help, i will look at it on 0.5x speed now. But remember, whats obvious for you needs time and clear talking for the new ones here

[@eduardosantana8300]

There was a big update recently on acc. The tyre pressures here is no longer applicable. Cheers

[@tidgney]

Talking fast (In fact doing anything fast, I eat at super speeds) is something I continue to work on, thanks for the feedback! As Eduardo said the pressures have changed, I'd aim for 27.2 now that seems to work best for me :D.

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

I don't race it, but if I did then this is a wonderful reference 👊👏😁 Like deployed 👍

[@Rapid_GT]

Great video Tidge I missed this one 👍

[@arminleeds4186]

Thanks for your vid. I’ve only watched it because of your thumbnail. Why is nobody talking about tyre sets? I remember having this question but cause nobody could answer, I forgot about it. Cheers.

[@bryndal36]

Thanks for the advice, I'll give this a go and see how it works out for me. New sub btw.

[@tidgney]

No worries, and welcome to the channel :D!

[@jamesroberts3474]

Just bought game. Great video pal

[@tidgney]

Thankyou! Just remember the game in its current state has changed slightly so pressures you are looking for 26.8 - 27.0 now.

[@metalcatholic2505]

Really helpful indeed. Cheers mate.

[@j.rolfsted]

Well, I installed it,.. again,…. (See my other post), I dont get it?, I´m at the main menu, and already stuck 🤷‍♂️ I really dont know what to do?, how do I get in the setup menu ?, how do I set up my wheel?, I do know which button to press? The game does not react on input from wheel buttons (and yes, it works fine) when I try to set up my buttons. I give up 🤦🏼‍♂️🙄 frakking game,….

[@simtunning7357]

I like working on setups, i like to make the car beter to drive, so i can go faster in resistance races, only concentrait in driving, and i sheer my setups to hellp other gamers...

[@Captivateitmedia]

Any advice on how to use the paddock settings when pitting?

[@LucidFX.]

i know people gush over the BEST driving rigs (?) and wheels like fanatec or MOZA etc i only have a G29 but then i just play for fun not to make content LOL is that good enough?

[@tidgney]

Absolutely a g29 is perfectly fine. There is no need to spend anymore money on anything aslongs you enjoy racing. The only reason to spend more is if you want to spend X amount for like 5% increase in happiness/immersion etc.

[@LucidFX.]

@@tidgney AH thanks VERY much for the response :) nah i am good with it. i think IF i played MORE i may have considered better but i play just enough to make the G29 worth it lol

[@tcr_heinz04]

Thanks for the tips. Very interesting!

[@evertdevries8814]

Excellent instruction, Tidg

[@PlasteredBarrie]

Thanks for the info!! Have a good day

[@JonBoy1970]

I love the feel of Acc compared to GT7. But like GT7 struggle to get my ratings up. Due to idiots punting me off all the time. Seriously fed up with it. B S rating GT7 39- 40 on Acc.

[@mattyg267]

B s rating is good... tip to get to A ... don't qualify, start at the back every race and keep finishing ahead of where you start.. and you will progress to A... its that simple. Rinse and repeat to get to A+

[@RRT_NightShifter1]

Thatlnks for this Tidg. I have ACC on PS5, but am struggling to get started. Would you start in Career mode? Or straight into Championship?

[@tidgney]

I'm not to sure to be honest in terms of the offline play, it's not something I've ever tried in ACC

[@kevondouglas4088]

Start with career mode to get familiar with rules

[@aryah1513]

I loaded a partially played racing weekend and I noticed that my tires, on race 2, are all 3.0 except for 1 set that's 2.94 or something like that... I think there's a glitch where when you load a championship, it only remembers the tyre wear of the set you were using when you saved/exited. I like the realism/challenge so I kinda found that annoying. I'm gonna pay closer attention next time to confirm this but I hope they patch up this type of stuff.

[@BaxterGT3]

If you're on a track like Barcelona that tends to wear out one side of your tyres, would your left and right tyre pressures be different? Just got into ACC and loving it, also enjoyed the video it helped a tonne.

[@tidgney]

100% left and right pressures are normally different on most tracks.

[@kelvingomersall7460]

I hope the developer take time sheets. LF anyone is wasting time doing all that labour. All the best.

[@b9bot148]

Thanks for the tips!

[@GTP_Dutchy]

Awesome vid mate

[@speedgoat7496]

Hi mate great tutorial. I’m new to acc is there such a thing a time trialing and a global leader board with down,laudable ghosts and replays?

[@tidgney]

Heyyy! There are events in game for time trialling, it's not something I've ventured into more though.

[@artfull_dodger__]

I’m on ps5 and lovin it

[@lifeinrc9051]

Thanks for the video, has great info for a noob like me. My question is what do I need to buy? I see the game on steam but also the DLC's. Do I need to purchase all the DLC's at the same time or do you have suggestions as to which ones to get if all are not needed? I have a budget wheel system currently to learn how to race (Logi G920).

[@tidgney]

In terms of DLC you don't have to buy any but usually you can buy the whole lot in bulk for quite cheap when offers are on.

[@jl4859]

Your voice sort of reminds me of James acaster, awesome vid tho

[@StickyGeko]

Hi I usually race f122, looking to try acc, I race on a g920 with an F1 wheel and axcsim brake mod. What wheel settings do you use?

[@Emzy-87]

how come on my aero screen i don't get the colors indicating air force?

[@bigsarge8795]

Just went to the dark side. I finally got my copy of ACC. Here goes nothing.

[@xFirelink]

Is this still valid for the 1.10 patch? Great video btw

[@tidgney]

Thanks for the feedback! Alot of it is still valid, the tyre pressures aren't though you're looking for between 26 and 27 now.

[@xFirelink]

Thanks for the answer!! I struggle a lot in sim racing, mostly due to finding a car and then a free setup that fits me.

[@bijin_yt]

what does he meant 27.5 psi each tire? or like? because he didn't like hit 27.5 each tire. sry im completely new to sim racing have no clue about the terms and everything

[@tidgney]

So the pressures have changed since this video so you don't want 27.5, you want between 26.5-27.2. That's on a per tyre basis as well.

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

Thanks for trying to make ACC more accessible. I followed your guidelines but the game would not allow me to turn on Traction Control. It was locked to 0 with no way to turn it up. Are you not allowed to adjust TC during practice laps?

[@midwestmulisha820]

You have to bind it to a button

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

@@midwestmulisha820 It shows that TC is bound to my d-pad. However, in the game, it's just grayed out and inaccessible and the d-pad does nothing. I guess I'll have to tinker with it. Thanks for the advice.

[@midwestmulisha820]

@@pixelcultmedia4252 is there anything else also binded to that same button? That is interesting, it'd be one thing if it just didn't let you do it but greying it out is interesting

[@klimtidlo]

Aren´t you driving the GT4 Maserati? That one doesn´t have TC.

[@nathanstorrier3597]

The porsche cup car has no tc

[@akiali2632]

So wot happens wen uv used up a tyre set like say tyre set 1? How do u get it to refresh? Also by saying 'full e-sport setup' i think they mean that its a setup that an actual team might run that car on in real life or a team may use a similar setup during competition. It doesnt hv to b taken off an actual team. Atleast thats wot i wud imagine it means

[@tidgney]

So when you go to the garage you can change the tyre set in there or as you race in the left menu item.

[@ItsJustCarl1983]

I am brand new to ACC and obviously late to the show. I was trying to host a lobby last night on PS5 and it kept putting us back in the pit saying that controls are locked till green flag. Any idea what stupid thing i did wrong when setting up the private lobby.

[@tidgney]

Not to sure to be honest, I've only just got the console version so if I do experience anything I'll update the channel/you.

[@jaccie1972]

Thx for the advice. I use CD setups to for base, but are they usable for PS5 to?

[@willy08bm]

Good question. Were you able to find some info on this? I’ve been hesitant about buying setups without knowing if they’ll work on PS5.

[@jaccie1972]

@@willy08bm well I use them and adjust them to my driving. UnderSteering or oversteering. Witch you prefer. Think the last setups since oct. Last year are very useful.

[@ericsartanahorner]

I stopped playing so much when Sim Grid dailies left... Low Fuel Motorsport is out of reach, unless you're an alien. Public lobbies are full of noobs... ACC is a great sim though. One player is the most fair. Can't beat the sound and feel.

[@AndrewFosterSheff69]

27.7? I've been aiming for 27! So my tyres are always under pressure! No wonder I'm 7 seconds off pace! (it has absolutely NOTHING to do with my lack of driving skills... OK!)

[@tidgney]

Hey Mate! Please rememeber this video was made along time ago, a more recent patch (v1.49) the pressures should be 26.6 - 27.0
