Configuring Tire and Fuel Wear on an Assetto Corsa Server

Managing tire wear and fuel consumption adds realism to your Assetto Corsa server, making races more strategic by requiring pit stops and tire management. By adjusting tire degradation, fuel usage, and pit stop rules, you can create endurance-style racing, fuel-limited sprints, or realistic Grand Prix events.

This guide will walk you through configuring tire wear rates, adjusting fuel consumption, and setting up pit stop rules using VolticHost Game Panel.

📌 Prerequisites

• An Assetto Corsa server purchased at VolticHost.com

• Access to VolticHost Game Panel

• Basic knowledge of server configuration files

1️⃣ Adjusting Tire Wear Rates

Tire wear can be adjusted to increase or decrease degradation rates, affecting how often players need to pit for fresh tires.

1. Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Navigate to File Manager.

3. Open the following file:

   /cfg/server_cfg.ini
   

4. Locate or add the tire wear settings:

   TYRE_WEAR_RATE=1.0  // 1.0 = Default wear, 0.5 = Half wear, 2.0 = Double wear
   

5. Save and restart the server.

✅ Your server now has custom tire wear settings!

2️⃣ Configuring Fuel Consumption

Fuel consumption affects how often players must refuel, adding a layer of strategy to races.

1. Open server_cfg.ini in File Manager.

2. Locate or add the fuel consumption setting:

   FUEL_RATE=1.0  // 1.0 = Default fuel use, 0.5 = Half fuel use, 2.0 = Double fuel use
   

3. Save and restart the server.

✅ Your server now has custom fuel consumption settings!

3️⃣ Enabling Mandatory Pit Stops

To enforce mandatory pit stops, modify pit rules in server_cfg.ini:

1. Open server_cfg.ini in File Manager.

2. Add or modify the following values:

   MANDATORY_PITSTOP=1  // 1 = Enable mandatory pit stops, 0 = Disable
   PIT_WINDOW_START=5  // Start of pit window (lap count)
   PIT_WINDOW_END=20  // End of pit window (lap count)
   

3. Save and restart the server.

✅ Your server now requires mandatory pit stops during races!

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 features realistic tire wear, fuel consumption, and mandatory pit stops!
