I have a request regarding "Timezones" now it's not working for me.
I don't know why? but it was working before. When i select "Real condition" the times of track location is wrong?
for exemple : if i choose laguna seca in USA the GMT times stay in Europe where i live.

Have you some remark about this bug? thanks in advance for your return !

x4fab This is a thing I noticed recently,
Even if you set the time to 12:00 it seems that it is a bit evening in the game.
Could you make it to be properly daytime?

Would you consider changing the color from red to possibly green on your bullet points.
It tends to blend into the background, making text extremely difficult to read.
Thanks.

x4fab I'm not sure what happened and probably should have been more careful, but that aside, I was closing Assetto Corsa often to adjust my reshade settings and the Content Manager popped up two messages saying it needed administrator privileges and it made a change to my registry, since then I cannot get reshade working at all it just will not open the menu, have restarted my pc, uninstalled steam and assetto corsa. I've even completely reset my pc. I'm not sure what changes were made but I thought for sure resetting my pc would work.
I have tried everything I can think of and still no luck.
All I'm looking for is to undo the changes to registry that AC Content Manager made.

Thank you

x4fab Good morning my friend, I'm from Brazil and I would like your help, I was with my friends here and I set up a server through the content manager, "PolePositionBR" and I saw that there are servers that put images in the description, banner types, through BB -Code, could you give me any tips on how to do this? if the image has to have an exact size, because I tried in every possible way and nothing, I formulated several BB-code and nothing, for example: [img] my image [/ img], if you can help me I will be grateful, keep it for God.

x4fab hey i just switched to linux and i was wondering if there is way to get content manager to work on linux

Can I make a suggestion? Would it be possible to include in the details of the vehicles the distance traveled that is saved by the Sidekick? A small detail that I think is cool. Thank you.

x4fab

Edgar of course! Sorry for the delay, this forum was set incorrectly.

Right now, in the new layout, there is a distance, but it’s calculated by CM using shared memory. I’ll think about combining sources. And, of course, I’ll add a counter to the Drive section.

The update - 0.8.1564.31485 has a small mistake. If you click on the last like "here" for the New Presets for Custom Showroom - it errors without opening the page in the browser. I just copy/pasted the URL it was trying to go to and manually visited the page.

x4fab

76561198055678878 thanks, fixed! Just a small typo of some sorts, I forgot to add “http://” when copying link.

Hey there... most recent updates have stolen my CONTENT and SERVER sections up top,

x4fab

76561198055678878 but there is that menu with three strokes on top right corner, and also a setting in settings/appearance to bring back those two links just in case. Maybe I’ll set it to enabled by default

Would it be possible to incorporate a "Dyno" feature. Lots of ripped mod cars where author either doesn't list power/torque specs or he doesn't even realize that you're supposed to subtract for drivetrain loss, etc. Would be nice to have a button near the Replace Tires button in Content Section. OR include this in the existing Analyze button. When I am modding/testing it would be nice to hit a button and have CM tell me max power & max torque, plus it could show max speed in each gear, if you're working on transmission it could be helpful and a quicker way to know if you want to adjust a gear up or down without having to go out onto the track. Oh, if the Dyno feature could create a new Power/Torque graph. I download mod cars where author didn't even bother making one properly.

x4fab

76561198055678878 there is this thing, but it doesn’t provide any information for gears. Also, analyzer warns if author forgot to consider drivetrain loss:

I think I’ll add something to see gears and top speed nicely, but in a different place. Also, just in case, there is this tool, you can simply drag’n’drop files to it to check and, if needed, adjust inputs for controllers.

76561198055678878

x4fab I forgot all about the Torque Helper tool. I've used it many times in the past. A great help, indeed!

A user reported that using "England" or "Scotland" as the Country for a car or track results in a question mark where their respective country flags should be. I checked on my system and it is the same. I looked into the Flags folder to make sure there were entries for England & Scotland, not just the Great Britain & UK countries/flags, and there are. GB-ENG.jpg, GB-SCT.jpg and GB-Wales.jpg for Wales.

How should those countries be written when editing a car or track in the Content section?

EDIT: I should have added. When I go into Drive > Countries that is when I won't see the country flags. But, if I single click a car it brings up the car's specs and information and I DO see the country flag next to the name of the Country.

x4fab

76561198055678878 thank you, will fix!

Really like the new mod shop option. I noticed though that CM downloads to C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp and doesn't clean up afterwards.

x4fab

jlnprssnr thanks a lot!

You can change the destination in Settings/Content, maybe I’ll change the one used by default. And it doesn’t clean up in case you’d want to reinstall something later, or resume terminated download. I’m going to make CM remember downloads between sessions (the same way browsers do), then, I think, it’ll make more sense.

I was painting a helmet the other day and I was thinking how cool a "helmet-showroom" would be. Turns out I'm not the only one, since someone had made a post about a similar idea over on RaceDepartment.

I have no idea if it's possible, but it would be cool...

x4fab

rbdgt something like this is as much as I can do without preparing models:

Maybe you know somebody who could help to add some sort of proper pose for that? Maybe even some animation?

Also, of course, you can always just turn on driver model with car and paint a helmet like that, as usual. I think even Paint Shop features should work.

rbdgt

x4fab Hey yeah, that looks cool.

But I mean, it's not a problem to paint a helmet usually, because yes, there's enough open top cars to have a good view of any helmet you want to paint. I usually use the KTM X-Bow. But the Idea of a relatively high res helmet-render in a custom helmet-showroom is pretty cool. I really have no idea how it would work, and I know nothing about posing or animating models. My knowledge is limited to painting and a small bit of programming...

That said, CM is an awesome tool. I never, ever start AC the normal way. Big fan! Keep up the good work.

x4fab

rbdgt hmm, it does sound very interesting, but all I can do is to detach head, not helmet alone, which, I’m afraid, might look a bit disturbing.

Maybe later somebody would like to join in and detach all the helmets — would be nice to be able to see them separately, they could be used for driver models’ previews and, of course, for painting as well.

Thank you for the feedback!

Hey, is it possible to integrate Sim Racing System ( http://www.simracingsystem.com/race.php ) to CM ?

x4fab

Howek it’s already in there, in Live section:

I know it’s a bad name, but I can’t think of a replacement for it, something that would work both for RSR and SRS.
