0.31 WIP Release of the Assetto Corsa Modding Manual 3.0

With no shame or glory...

The Silent 0.31 Update

Recently I saw someone in the scene "closing" and then "coming back" in a weird way, hopefully they'll get their stuff sorted out and keep going for their "mission"...

...Anyway, did you miss the updates?

The reason why there was this three month gap is that I haven't passed a crucial exam, and I want to get it done (the next session is mid-September).

This release is "silent", as it won't appear in any forum/chat posts; I believe it's not worthy of being advertised. A bit too rushed and messy. Maybe the next one. But I'm kind of tired of posting on four websites everytime. I think I will do it only every few major updates from now on. Regular visitors of this blog will find all the updates instead.

Obviously you can advertise this blog and the manual, if you want. Share it. I am not making money from it.

Nonetheless, I absolutely guarantee this particular release is more useful than the previous one. Some of the changes include:

- Rewriting a couple paragraphs to make them more beginner-friendly.

- Additions and corrections in the vehicle configs. There were few parts that could be misunderstood, while the real juice is much simpler. And I reordered some stuff, following the usual progression: noob --> nerd.

- Yes, AIs can drift, too. It's like GTA V. Not really. Try it out.

There's not much else that I can remember, I'm writing this post two weeks later I last worked on the manual.

Below you find all the download links, simple as that.
