In-game apps for Assetto Corsa EVO

The short answer

Assetto Corsa EVO has its own HUD, but no app bar like the one the original Assetto Corsa had on the right edge of the screen, and no way for players to add apps to it.

EvoForge adds that bar. During a session, bring the mouse to the right edge of the screen: a list of 16 apps opens over the game’s HUD, on triple screens too. They read the game’s own data, so what they show is what the game knows. The in-game apps are free for everyone: no membership needed.

Open the bar and arrange your windows

1. Install EvoForge and open it. It puts the bar in place by itself while the game is closed.
2. Start a session, solo or online, and keep EvoForge open: several apps talk to it while you drive.
3. Bring the mouse to the right edge of the screen. The bar opens; click an app to open its window.
4. Arrange your windows. Drag a window by its title, close it with ×, keep several open at once. The last one you click comes to the front.

Next time, your windows come back where you left them, open if you left them open. When the game’s HUD is hidden, the bar offers Show the HUD.

On track: seven apps for the race

⤢

Fuel

Litres in the tank, laps of fuel left and consumption per lap. In a race, the Race tab tells you what is left to run, by laps or by time, the fuel it takes, and the verdict: fuel in hand, or how many litres you are short and how much to add at your stop. You set your own reserve. It also shows the mandatory stops done and whether the pit window is open. Before the start, the Planner tab gives the fuel to load for a number of laps or minutes.

Relative

The cars around you on the track, ahead and behind, with their gap. A green dot means you are gaining on that car, an orange one that you are losing time. Lapped cars are in blue, and cars in the pits or leaving them are tagged PIT and OUT. You choose how many lines to show.

Laps & delta

Live shows your delta to your best lap with a bar, your three sectors, and your predicted, last, best and ideal lap. Session lists the laps of the session with their sectors and the fuel each one burnt. History keeps your record, your best sectors and your best lap of each day, per car and per track. That history is stored by EvoForge on your PC; nothing is sent to a server.

Pedals & G

Gear, speed, ABS and TC lamps, a trace of your throttle and brake over the last seconds, clutch and steering angle, a G circle with its peaks, and slip and lock-up wheel by wheel.

Tyres

For each tyre: the surface in three zones, the core, the pressure and the brake, in the game’s own colours, with what is cold, in the window or hot. The Per lap tab gives the averages lap by lap.

Pit strategy

One line tells you where you stand: no stop needed, stop when you want, stop between two given laps, or box this lap. Below it: the fuel to add, the latest lap you can stop on, and the lap from which one fill takes you to the flag. If you stop now shows your position before and after the stop and the cars you rejoin between. After your first real stop, the app offers the time loss it measured.

Weather & track

The session’s weather, the air temperature, the track temperature and grip at the start, and the time on track. What the field is doing reads the last laps of every car: steady, slower or improving, and which tyres the field is on. The game gives no forecast, so the app shows none.

Race & friends

⤢

• Paddock: your friends on track and online. Invite one to your server, answer an invitation, accept a friend request and set your status without leaving the car. It needs an EvoForge account.
• Race control: the classification with pit stops, the mandatory stop done or still to do, penalties, tyres and ping. The To watch filter keeps only the drivers who need attention, which helps on league nights.
• Championship: on the server of a Paddock championship round, the standings recalculated with the positions of the moment, the places gained or lost, and what you need for the next place. It is provisional: the official result still goes through the stewards. See how to run a league or championship.

FFB: tune your force feedback while you drive

The FFB app holds the game’s force feedback settings in one window, with the same names as in the game’s menus. Drag a slider or step with − and +: each change applies at once, without pausing, and is saved in the game’s settings.

• Wheel: FFB Gain (up to 150%), Steering Lock, Soft Lock, Dynamic Damping, Minimum Damper, Damper Gain, Speed Sensitivity, Steering Filter and Audio-based FFB Effects.
• Effects: Curbs, Road, Tyre Slips and ABS effects.
• Presets: save the current settings under a name, then apply, update or delete a preset. One per car or per track, switched in one click.

Audio, Image, Performance, Music

• Audio: the master volume with a mute switch, then music, interface, engine interior and exterior, bodywork, parts, tyres, opponents, environment and wind. Each change is heard at once and saved in the game’s audio settings. You can switch the sound output and save your mixes as presets.
• Image: Filters applies the game’s post-processing presets and the exposure live. Seat moves your driving position: distance, height, lateral, pitch. Drone / photo holds the photo settings of the free camera: exposure, gamma, saturation, white balance, tint, sharpening.
• Performance: starts the measurement of EvoForge’s Game: image and smoothness for the session, and shows or hides its panel on screen.
• Music: the title playing in your PC’s music player, play, pause, next, previous, and that player’s own volume. The game’s volume is not touched.
• Drone: a camera drone flown with your controller. It has its own guide: a drone camera in Assetto Corsa EVO.

Free for everyone

The 16 in-game apps, the drone included, are free for everyone: you only need EvoForge installed. The Paddock and Championship apps use your EvoForge account. The membership, from €5 a month, covers other things: the track builder, the livery studio, the workshop, AC1 conversion and server hosting.

Known limits

• The apps come from EvoForge only: the game’s interface offers no safe way to run apps from other authors.
• Fuel per lap is measured from your first completed lap.
• Weather & track shows no forecast, and the track temperature only when the game provides it.
• The Championship standings shown in a race are provisional: no pole bonus, no penalties.
