![]() Now, the app will detect optimal shift points and trigger the rpm lights automatically, per car, without the need to adjust anything. Before all of this, the only way to know when to shift correctly on these cars was to look at their dash or steering wheel rpm lights, which can be very inconvenient due to camera choice, FOV, PP filter, steering wheel visibility settings and so on. On these cars, there's a learning algorithm that triggers the first time you drive them, where the app learns the gear ratios in order to deduce optimal shift points per gear. But, some cars like SF15-T, Ferrari 458 GT2 and Ferrari 488 GT3 (and many more) reach maximum power on rpms way before the engine hits the limiter. On many cars, you won't notice any difference since the engines' maximum power output is very high in the rpm range. Q: How do the new optimal shift point rpm lights work?Ī: The app pulls data from the file used to draw the power/torque graph in the launcher and uses it to automatically figure out the optimal shift point for each car. There's also a Sidekick car data sub-app with info about the car you're currently driving. Ultimately if it's still broken, open console while in game by pressing Home key on your keyboard and paste any errors in the support thread.Ī: If you open the Sidekick settings sub-app you'll find several customizable parameters including scaling, mph/kph toggle, opacity, tyre wear scale, rpm light thresholds. If all is ok, only then start adding back one by one the apps you previously had. After that, reinstall Sidekick only and try if it works. If none of the above worked: delete python.ini file (yes, again), delete the entire apps folder (backup it first just in case) from your AC install directory (often found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa) and run Steam integrity check. From Documents/Assetto Corsa/cfg folder delete python.ini file, and enable only Sidekick in settings (again, if that works, start re-enabling apps one by one to see which one was at fault) Disable all apps in Settings except Sidekick and see if it works (if that works, start re-enabling apps one by one to see which one was at fault) Q: I've enabled the app in Settings and turned it on in the apps menu but it's not working. Then, once on the track, turn it on from the vertical apps menu on the right. Currently, dominant events are: major FFB clipping (the app won't bother you unless it's really significant), wheel direction detection at race start, setting a best time, setting a personal best time and "session is soon about to end" notification.Ī quick FAQ (please read before posting in the support thread):Ī: Unpack the contents of the zip file in your AC install directory and enable it in Settings. The app knows ideal temperatures and pressures for all the cars currently available in Assetto Corsa and will color them accordingly.īesides these five sections, there are also so-called "Dominant events", where all the sections will be hidden temporarily to get your maximum attention on the message. You can toggle between tyre wear, tyre temperatures, tyre pressures and ideal values for the compound in use. If you're in a race with a set number of laps, you'll also have info how much fuel you need to finish the race, and if you're short, how much you need to top up.įifth section is all about tyres. You're provided with current fuel amount, and after you complete a lap, you'll be able to check consumption per lap and how many laps you'll be able to complete. Pretty simple and self-explanatory.įourth section is handling fuel info. Third section is lap number and current position, along with remaining session time for applicable sessions. There's also a delta pacing indicator, showing you whether you're gaining or losing time at any particular moment (delta best and delta personal best only). You're provided with advanced delta calculation using normalized spline position and interpolation for delta best and delta personal best, and a bit more simple distance and speed based deltas to car in front/behind. Of course, keeping with tradition of RaceEssentials, lap validity is monitored and personal best laps are saved accross sessions. Here, you can toggle current lap time, last lap time, best lap time and personal best lap time. Besides the always visible stuff (gear, speed and rpm light), the app is divided into five sections, contents of which can be switched either by mouse or by keyboard ( Alt A to switch between sections, Alt S to toggle available data in the selected section).įirst section is timings.
