==========================
--Important notes before playing---
==========================
Do not use the Tutorial with this mod.
Minimum of 8gb ram requiered, if you have less than that expect long loading times.
The 3-Stage-Qualifying Rule has been banned due to a vanilla bug that can corrupt your savegame.
This mod will only work in careers, not single races. Savegames from other mods/vanilla may not work as intended.
Best balancing results are given using "Long Races".
Do not have other mods or assets running while attempting to play the mod. We are not responsible for other assets or mods and activating them might break the mod.
All drivers/staff have a 5 star potential. The improvement rate has been lowered a lot, that means, if a driver can really reach 5 stars in his career is based on training, HQ, management skills, new traits (with a low chance, young drivers can be invited to driving Academies now, potential superstars can be made there, for a full list of new traits see the mod discussions)
Chassis prices are increased. Even if it looks like you make „enough“ money, take your first season in the mod as an orientation.
The drivers salary for existing contracts recreates real life salaries, that will change drastically when negotiating new contracts.
The way liveries are interacting with car models has been completly changed.
Instead of projections there are UV Coordinates used now. That means the cars in the race will look as perfect as in the menu. That’s a big difference to vanilla.
Choose only liveries from the „workshop“ tab and cycle through them to find fitting liveries for your car:
Liveries 1-80 are used by SingleSeaters
Liveries 81-138 are used by Nascar
Liveries 139 - 161 are used by GTE (scan through the skins to find one fitting your car)
===============
---Additional Files---
===============
Before you start a career, you may have a look into the folder “ADDITIONAL_ACE” in the mods folder
\SteamApps\workshop\content\415200\1208233754\ALTERNATIVE ACE FILES
There you will find an exe installer that will make the Safety Car come out at every crash, just like in real life US Racing. It will add a lot more strategy options to the mod, we recommend installing that.
When asked for the directory, choose YOURDRIVE:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Motorsport Manager\MM_Data
It's important to install that BEFORE you start your career, it can't be activated in a running save. To revert that for new careers, verify your steam files.
Also, if you want to see a NASCAR during CYOT creation Menu, put in the “nascarcyotmenu” file into models and remove it before the next game start. We couldn’t include it since it will otherwise overwrite all other team’s models.
A Guide how to paint the liveries will be added very soon.
A download for zoom mod can be found in the #read_me channel on the discord. We can't include it in the download here.
=================
----Troubleshooting----
=================
The ACE Mod has been tested and there are no game-breaking bugs or issues.
If you have trouble getting it to work please try the following things:
Please verify your gamefiles via Steam, try restarting motorsport manager/steam, see if the mod downloads in steam, if not try to sub again. Restarting your pc helped in a lot of cases.
If you have more problems and care about getting it solved, make a *detailed* report on the discord. We can't help you if you comment here.
If you have the phenomenon of standard team liveries looking wrong, drivernames not loading etc, disable all other mods and assets. ALL assets, additional liveries won't work with this mod as well, all liveries are specially made for the models in this mod.
Is this mod compatible to Mac/Linux? Sadly the models are not, and we can’t find out why they are all black. Please delete them from your modding folder if you want to play the mod – but then don’t expect liveries to work properly.
