Cars Frozen on the Starting Grid (Assetto Corsa)

 

Sometimes its caused by a gear mismatch:

Open the ai.ini and engine.ini inside the 'data' folder (if the car has a data.acd, unpack it with content manager first)
Make sure the Gears UP value in the ai.ini:

[GEARS]
UP=7900 (wrong value)
DOWN=4600
SLIP_THRESHOLD=0.95
GAS_CUTOFF_TIME=0.130

has a lower value, than engine.ini limiter

[ENGINE_DATA]
ALTITUDE_SENSITIVITY=0.1 ; sensitivity to altitude
INERTIA=0.120 ; engine inertia
LIMITER=7500 ; engine rev limiter. 0 no limiter
MINIMUM=1500 ; engine idle rpm
LIMITER_HZ=50

In this example the RPM needed to shift up is higher than what the engine limiter allows, so you would change the ai.ini value to something like 7200

It doesn´t work every single time, but it might be the case for the cars you´re trying to run.

How to Save Settings With the Assetto Corsa Camera Editor

 I've noticed a quirk trying to use the Camera Editor app in assetto corsa. You can change the camera settings, but often if you click 'save' no settings are actually saved and the next time the game loads you have re-do your camera settings. Here's how to fix the problem:

1. Open the car in the Assetto Corsa/Content Manager content tab (this fix will require that you be running Content Manager and not vanilla AC).

2. Click "Unpack Data"

3. Click the folder button so that it takes you to the car's mod folder in windows explorer.

4. Rename data.acd to data.acd_old

5. Load the car into the Assetto Corsa game.

6. Make your desired camera changes.

7. Click "save"

 8. Close assetto corsa and open it again to verify that your camera settings have been changed.


I hope this works out for you.

Cheers.
