A guide to setting up Nukedrop Assetto Corsa tracks. (Patreon)

LIST OF ALL TRACKS CAN BE FOUND HERE:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gD5G2Uy2oMkgAfeAgAbotpuQ6HexltpLytEnkNvoZkI/edit?usp=sharing

Hi Everyone, if you're a long time subscriber and don't have any issues with my tracks then you can ignore this post, if you're new however, welcome! and please be sure to take a quick look at the information below to get an idea on what may be causing any issues or crashes you may be having.

The tracks I make for AC often take advantage of other mods created by other members of the sim-racing community. These extra features, more often than not, are related to the graphics of the track.

They can be used to add more realistic track-side grass, track-side lighting, animated textures such as water, and TV screens and many other enhancements. Whilst I understand not everybody will want to use these extra features, I do highly encourage that they are used.

All required downloads are free of charge, however I do recommend the paid versions where possible to support the developers.Requirements:

Content Manager (latest version)https://assettocorsa.club/content-manager.html

Custom Shaders Patch – AT LEAST version 0.1.78 - Versions older than this will not work.https://acstuff.ru/patch/https://acstuff.ru/patch/?info=0.1.78

PerPixelMultiMap 1.0https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/perpixelmultimap-with-emissive-map.22791/

Please follow the relevant guides on the respective pages for each of the downloads above.

Checking your CSP version:The main cause of tracks not launching is the version of CSP being out of date, here’s how to check.In Content Manager, click settings in the top right.then in the Custom Shaders Patch section, you should see the version you are ruunning.

You should have version 0.1.78 or higher.

Here's the old guide if you require more information or details about specific installs.

Deleting this file should fix most of the issues if you are running a bog-standard version of Assetto Corsa. However, if you want to experience everything that Assetto Corsa can offer, and consequently my tracks with all of their features there are a few things you’ll need to install. They’re all free of charge.

Content Manager / Custom Shaders Patch

Content Manager is a custom launcher and content management application for Assetto Corsa. It adds a huge range of extended functionality to AC. Installing Content Manager also adds Custom Shaders Patch.

Program is available in two versions, Lite and Full. Lite version has restricted access to new features, WIP-sections and pre-release builds.

Using AC CM adds compatibility with weather systems, track lights, 3D grass and lots of other features. You will use CM to launch the game going forward, and not the Steam launcher.

stFlow shader  stFlow is used to animate textures, so will be used to make water, flags and TV screens etc. You can download it here.

To install it, extract the sdk+system folders into your AC root folder

PerPixelMultiMap

PerPixel MultiMaps are used to make things light up, or be reflective in specific areas, whilst also being able to emit light. Things like windows, TV sceeens etc will require this one.

To install it, extract the sdk+system folders into your AC root folder

Finishing up.

With all of these in use you should have no issues running any of my Assetto Corsa tracks, as well as getting visual improvements from all of the existing content that the base version of the game offers.    However, not all systems are equal so I cannot 100% guarantee that every track combination will work with every car combination.Installing my tracks.

In each post you will find a Google Drive link, you can use this to download a zip file of the track relevant to the post. If you are using Assetto Corsa Conent Manager, simply drag the track zip folder into it, then press on the little three lines in the top right, you should then see the track show up in the window, then press install.

If you're not using Content Manager, then you will need to extract / unzip the file into the Assetto Corsa tracks folder.

The track should then appear in the Assetto Corsa launcher when you start the game.Hopefully this covers most of the issues some people may have, but if there are still problems I'll try my best to help out.Thanks for your time, and I hope you enjoy my content!
