Analogue Tach Issue

[Gabor Edelmayer]

Hey all,
I'm having a weird issue with the tachs of some cars not working correctly. The tach on the dash seems to lag and is choppy. This issue effects cars at random as some mod/vanilla content works and some does not.
I did not have this issue about a week ago and I have changed nothing in files.
I have already tried to rollback graphics drivers but that did not solve the issue.
I have no clue what caused the issue or how to fix it, so any help is appreciated.

It’s not an issue, it’s a feature from CM and shader patch to emulate a more realistic “vintage” tachometer...

To disable, you can find the option in the CM settings, shader patch, general, I believe... untick use realistic tachometers.

Really wish this feature was disabled by default. This is talked about daily lol

Oh okay.
Thanks for the swift reply.
It's really wierd because I changed no settings but the tach just changed.
Good to know it's not an issue!

Thanks so much! I was getting pretty annoyed. In this case I don't care about realism,

Specifically, it's found under Settings -> Custom Shaders Patch -> Extensions -> Car Instruments -> "Use accurate tachometers"

Thanks for this thread, I was going crazy trying to figure this one out. Being a young guy, I did vaguely remember seeing the tach on the cars in the 1966 Grand Prix movie moving like that in the opening sequence, but I chalked it up to them maybe running a test...didn't realise they actually had a slower "refresh rate" compared to more modern analogue tachometers. Now that I know it's not a glitch I may actually keep it...I've always relied more on learning the sound of the engine than the tach anyways.

Found a modern video of the real Lotus 79 which shows this clearly:

Thank for problem solved

Would be nice if CSP would default all of these goofy options to off so people wouldn't constantly be confused by their game breaking in unexpected and useless ways.

It's a sim...of real life cars...they simulated the real life behavior of the tach...on a real life car...in a sim.

How is that a goofy option?

It's not done well, and it's not helpful for gameplay anyway. And this is a game.

If it was done better and forced, like part of the vanilla install it would be great but as is it's just a disadvantage.

**** I was sure it would bouce around insntad of just snaping now I'm sad that I can't stand it XD

 

[Please Stop This]

anyone still looking for the setting, turn off this:

or if you want to dig into a particular config, set RPM_VINTAGE_DELAY to 0:
(your path maybe "assettocorsa\extension\config\cars\loaded")
(RPM_VINTAGE_ROUND_TO in RPM is how 'steppy' it is)

btw only
lotus_49 and
shelby_cobra_427sc
seem to have those now (maybe some other old cars, not sure)
