Yeah, it was a piece of piss. I had no idea how to do it but looked at the file structure and plopped it where I thought it should go. Voila!
There is a Porsche GT3 RSR mod available, or actually, WAS.
This is what it looks like and the way it goes and sounds!
Love it!!

It is still is available on a variety of websites from Reddit to NoGrip.
Aha! Thanks for the tip.
Could do with someone in the know (like your good self, sir) recommending the bestest track and car mods for luddites like me. I bagged Snoopy's Nurb, some Yas Marina and the recent Trial Mountain. All seem great.
This modding thing is quite spiffing, it really is.

You're off to a good start!
I always look on RD for new tracks: http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/categories/ac-tracks.8/ The star rating system and total DL's make choosing a little easier as there are quite a few average track conversions available.

If you want the Porsche GT3 RSR, you'll be looking for version 0.2.7 of the now infamous Russian mod. It took me about 2 minutes to find it
Racing games on the consoles is great however PC sim racing with all the mods available is indeed glorious. Having both a PC and console is the best of both worlds.

Brillopads. Thank you!
Edit: Got them all
and the GT3 RSR
This game is brilliant, and the mods are superb. If you could see my current setup you would literally laugh until you prolapsed your giblets through your exit-pipe. Imagine an Atari 2600 connected to an oscilloscope by a length of lead pipe and powered by a hamster in a dustbin at the bottom of the ocean: THAT'S the power of my laptop. Despite that I'm having an absolute blast with AC, and starting to doubt my credentials as a card-carrying member of the Order Of Graphics Whores.

Provide immediate feedback and impressions so we can order DK2s ASAP if needed
As requested, here are my first impressions after a couple hours with the game and the Rift (DK1) together with a Fanatec 911 turbo S.
Let's get the obvious out of the way immediately: it's amazing. The sense of being there is incredible, something as trivial as being able to freely looking around in the cockpit makes a ton of difference.
Same goes for approaching curves.
Sometimes your brain gets tricked to the point that you reach out trying to grab something other than the wheel (and having a real wheel in your hands only adds to that feeling).
Now, the DK1 is rather limited by its well-known shortcomings: low resolution display and low refresh rate.
The first problem can be mitigated by increasing the rendering resolution, together with anti-aliasing, downsampling the game. I've been playing at 1920x1200 with everything maxed out, and the visibility has somewhat improved, but you still need to know the track to drive safely.
The other issue is the image stability: the DK1 refreshes at a max of 60hz (even though it can be overclocked to higher rates, but I couldn't get the game to run that way), and fast head movements result in a bit of blur, which can be distracting.
Since the DK2 primarily addresses those two issues, it should be a blast. And the screen is a low persistence OLED: great blacks, great colours, no blur. I have mine ordered and I can't wait to try it out once the game is compatible.
Sounds very promising - any feeling of motion sickness at all? I tried a DK2 recently and it initially played havoc with my innards.

A little, yes.
Way less than playing an fps or something else, though. The fact that you're seated - in the game and in the real world - and that the movement requires you to be seated really help in avoiding nausea.
Don't try it standing up, though xD
Where'd you get to try out a DK2?
Also worth noting that Kunos is set to add free-to-join servers for multiplayer for people(everybody) who doesn't like the booking system.

Hi guys, here a comparison dual view with interior and exterior camera, of graphics and sounds, between Project CARS and Assetto Corsa, alternating the sound during the video to differentiate the sound from the cockpit and the exterior in both games.
Its a lap at Silverstone International with the Pagani Zonda R.

Yes, the biggest disconnect is having to feel every force through the wheel, instead of your ass xD
The great thing about AC is that it looks nice while being easy on the hardware. On my rig I can play it maxed out and get 120+ fps at 1080p.
That means the DK2 will be perfect.
I haven't used the DK1 but from what I've seen the resolution seems to really hamper visibility. As in, you can barely see much detail outside the car. Hoping DK2 improves that drastically. Also hope I get mine soon!
Corvette DP beta v0.2 released! They're really great actually. Most of the modded cars I've tried have been wonky. The Seat Ibiza is pretty good too.
Also there's a GP2 beta released! Going to try it out today. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIkGSMTNmtw#t=70

It was at a trade show a couple of weeks ago. A supplier was giving me a virtual tour of their production facility with it (using a 360 controller for movement). I was standing up which didn't help the odd floating sensation and balance issues.
Edit: might have been a DK1, but I'm sure it said Development Kit 2 on the front...

Mmm. Think I much prefer the deeper resonance of the AC audio.
I would guess it was probably DK1. Not many people have DK2's right now and I'd be surprised if they had a working virtual tour already working with it.
You saying you experienced some nausea also hints at it being DK1.
Anyways, I've avoided the car mods so far cuz they seemed too much of a WIP, but it looks like a few are coming together now. Will definitely pick up the DP and the GP2 car. Probably wont get to try em out til tomorrow, though.

Awesome, I just downloaded a ton of tracks! Thanks
I see they have a couple of GT fictional tracks. I wish somebody would do the Forza fictional tracks too, they have some amazing ones.
Maple Valley and The Alps from Forza would be the bee's knee's.
I want to see what fantasy tracks people can come up with from scratch. I might take a dabble at this myself when I find the time. I use 3D CAD and Sketchup all the time so I'm guessing that gives me a good start?
Pro tip, put an infinite amount of hills. Nothing more boring than a flat track (*cough* Silverstone *cough*)
I'm confused about these mods. Did the modder actually get physics data of the Porsche and made it work within the game, or is the Porsche using the physics data of another car?

From the read me:
Take your pick as to how the Porsche's physics have been recreated in AC.

will these mods stop working with each patch?
TJP

No they won't stop working: http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/how-to-prevent-add-on-tracks-from-crashing.87262/
Agreed.
I love tracks with:
- Huge elevation changes.
- Massive bridges.
- Long tunnels.
- Lakes or rivers.
- Helicopters.
- Airships.
Its always a possibility, but typically no. The game was built for modding.
Also, Raffaele Marciello(front running GP2 driver) weighed in on the GP2 mod over on the Assetto Corsa board! Here's what he had to say:
ok , i tried that mod , the car is not so bad . in fast corner the car is quite good , really similar , what i can say , in real i have more traction out from slow corner , more rear grip in entry of slow corner, and more power brake ( here its to easy to lock the front ) but for a start is really good ! i will try 0.91 now .
Man, having real input from drivers that actually drive the cars is awesome. Every now and then I get really annoyed by the "experts" that start telling you how a car should feel without having any tangible real world experience from a similar car and mostly base it on previous sim experiences.
It's also cool that we can get the input directly from the driver instead of having a developer or a publisher acting as a middle man or so to speak, they tend to cherry pick the good stuff and leave out to most critical input.
I hope Raffaele gives some more input to the mod and helps it come that much more closer to the real thing

Make sure it's in the main cars folder (steamapps/common/assettocorsa/content/cars) not the one in Documents .

Once I unzipped it there was two folders (d_HD & c_HD) and then I copied them to steamapps/common/assettocorsa/content/cars folder. Didn't work for whatever reason.
EDIT: Got it working.
You can get the first release now (0.1) here: http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/shelby-cobra-released-v0-1.955/

Oh nice! I was hoping we wouldn't have to wait long!
EDIT: Hey, anyone know what the deal is with the huge file size of these mod skins? I saw that the GP2 mod guy did some lower rez skins, and I thank him for that, but SSDs are welping all over the world when they realize things like this three car mod has 1.5GB of skins included. It's a bit much...

I agree. Reading through the mod thread, AC's LOD remains at maximum and whilst it doesn't cause issues with the Kunos made cars, it causes a significant fps drop with a large grid e.g. 24 cars.
As we know, Kunos are doing the exact same thing with their own cars and the results are sublime; it's fantastic a modding team gets feedback from a real professional driver instead of 'armchair experts'.
I believe the URD people who have the T5 mod (DTM) and an endurance mod for rF2 have started making mods for AC too

Your google skills need some help as it's availableI guess the Porsche GTR v0.2.7 got taken down from everywhere. Boo
http://assettocorsa.su/?p=459 I don't see what the fuss is as it's a very average drive IMO. I suggest to sticking with the Kunos cars and the GP2 mod...

HistorX mod coming to Assetto
http://www.virtualr.net/historx-mod-for-assetto-corsa-preview-video
Man, it's amazing how many mods are suddenly coming out for AC. It's really taking it's place at the top of the pile of PC sims. Basically delivered on what rf2 promised years ago.

Wow, that's great news. I was kind of skeptical about AC being able to attract and foster this kind of community, but it looks like they've achieved it even before release. The mods will pretty much make this game.

It should be the same mod
0.2.7 version and the model comes from FM4...No worries...and yes it's not a special drive at all. GP2 mod is very good; the Cobra mod I've downloaded but not played as yet.

Absolute mega-ton. Can not wait!
I drove the Cobra last night, and man, what a nice piece. The model is gorgeous. The physics still need some work, but hey, 0.1. I literally couldn't make it go around Ascari at historic Monza. OK, the wheelbase is short, but it felt like I was driving a roller skate!

ISI haven't made modding very easy with rF2; Kunos have done the complete opposite with AC. Add me to the list of people who cannot wait for the Historx mod to be released.
Anyone looking for tracks can also download them from Driving Italia: http://www.drivingitalia.net/forum/index.php?app=downloads&showcat=566
The tracks from netKar Pro are worth downloading: Aosta Grand Sport, Newbury & Prato.

I don't agree, it lacks a lot of features in comparison. It would be a damn shame if the mod community abandons rF2.

Assetto Corsa gameplay showing two new MODs, one the Shelby Cobra S/C and another with the GP2 2014.

In both I give a lap at Yas Marina circuit, that was also recently added in the simulator. All MODs are in developing.

Whilst I 100% agree, where is the modding support (documentation & tools) for rF2? ISI haven't helped the situation at all.

With pitstops, weather, evolving track surface, 24 hour racing, great AI, historic content and superb physics, rFactor 2 is my go to racing game. However I can't help but think that ISI really fucked things up community wise.
-if they release a build with a bug, we usually have to wait 3 months for the next build. If they do do a hot-fix, it'll take at least a week. Kunos on the other hand will have it done in 6 hours.
-ISI's mod documentation is not only light on information, it's 18 months out of date and no longer relevant. Modders are having to work blind.
-at least 3 times ISI have released a build that requires modders to update their cars/tracks. Of course, because some modders have moved on, their mods remain forever broken and unusable. In my own music software, whenever I release an update I make sure that all legacy file types are compatible.
It's obvious that whilst Kunos may be someway behind on features, they WILL catch up to rF2 sometime soon. That coupled with ACs great mod support spells a great future for them.
All I hope for is AC's modding community to bring the avalanche of rF1 track conversions to a close. If you're going to convert, at least do so from rF2.
