Assetto Corsa Tips and Tricks

This is a general post on tips that are the most helpful when drifting (non VR) in Assetto Corsa.

Shortcuts/tips:

  1. Virtual Mirror: F11 toggles this on and off. Depending on what car you’re driving, the rear view mirror isn’t in the best spot, or visible at all. If F11 doesn’t work, try this link
  2. Use in game chat: Move your mouse to the right when in game and driving to pull down the main menu. One of the options will be for a chat window.
  3. Join the Discord: Search for the “Drift Nirvana” discord to chat with us while we play. The voice channel is invaluable to organize trains and tell people where you are.
  4. Bind headlights and horn to buttons you can use. It’s really helpful to signal to other players you can’t chat with. (In content manager, click settings in the top right, Assetto Corsa in the middle of the top panel. Controls, then buttons).
  5. Can’t find a server? Make sure the empty/full/missing options aren’t checked. Should look like this:

6. Enable showing drivers’ names so you know who’s who (also kph to mph):

7. When installing a new track/car pack, it’s best to delete the old folder first. Leaving in the old folder might cause checksum errors when you log into the server.
