Configuring Custom Spawn Positions for Tracks in Assetto Corsa

Custom spawn positions allow you to control where players start on the grid, in the pit lane, or specific locations on custom tracks. This is useful for roleplay servers, custom championships, and endurance racing setups.

This guide will walk you through modifying spawn locations, setting up grid placements, and ensuring proper alignment using VolticHost Game Panel.

📌 Prerequisites

• An Assetto Corsa server purchased at VolticHost.com

• Access to VolticHost Game Panel

• A custom track or an edited spawn configuration file

1️⃣ Locating and Editing Spawn Position Files

Each track in Assetto Corsa has predefined spawn positions, but you can modify them by editing the grid and pit box files.

1. Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Navigate to File Manager.

3. Locate the spawn position files for your track:

   /content/tracks/[TRACK_NAME]/data/start_positions.ini
   

4. If the file doesn’t exist, create a new start_positions.ini file.

5. Add or modify spawn positions using this format:

   [GRID_0]
   POS=10, 0, -5  // X, Y, Z coordinates for player 1
   ROT=180  // Rotation angle (degrees)
   
   [GRID_1]
   POS=12, 0, -7
   ROT=180
   

6. Save the file and restart the server.

✅ Players will now spawn at the modified grid positions!

2️⃣ Adjusting Pit Box Locations

For endurance racing or pit-based roleplay, modifying pit box spawn locations ensures smooth transitions.

1. Open:

   /content/tracks/[TRACK_NAME]/data/pit_stop_positions.ini
   

2. Adjust or add custom pit box positions:

   [PIT_0]
   POS=15, 0, -2  // X, Y, Z position for first pit box
   ROT=90  // Rotation angle
   
   [PIT_1]
   POS=17, 0, -4
   ROT=90
   

3. Save and restart the server.

✅ Players will now spawn at custom pit locations!

3️⃣ Enforcing Custom Grid Orders for Races

If you want fixed race starts, you can configure grid ordering in the server settings.

1. Open server_cfg.ini in File Manager.

2. Modify or add the following:

   FIXED_GRID_ORDER=1  // 1 = Enable fixed start order, 0 = Randomized
   GRID_ORDER=76561198012345678, 76561198123456789  // Steam IDs for first and second place
   
   

3. Save and restart the server.

✅ Your race starts will now follow a predefined grid order!

4️⃣ Restarting the Server to Apply Changes

1. Navigate to the Console tab in VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Click Stop to shut down the server.

3. Wait a few seconds, then click Start to launch the updated server.

✅ Your Assetto Corsa server now supports custom spawn positions!
