All setup updates will only be available to download in your dashboard. To access your dashboard, you need to create an account while checking out and purchasing your car setup. There is a note on our checkout page that emphasises the importance of doing this.
To find car setup updates, simply log into SimRacingSetup.com using the “My Account” button in the navigation bar. If you are already logged in, this button will take you to your dashboard.
When you are on your dashboard screen, you can find all setup updates under the “Downloads” tab. Click this button to see all of the car setups that you own.
How to download setup updates
Once you have navigated to the “Downloads” section of your dashboard, you can view and download any car setup or bundle you own. Below, I’ll outline a step-by-step process of downloading car setup updates from SimRacingSetup.com
- Log into Sim Racing Setups
The first step is to log into your account on SimRacingSetup.com. Do this using the “My Account” button in the navigation bar.
- Head to the downloads section
Once logged in and on your dashboard, click the “Dashboard” tab to view all setups and bundles that you own.
- Download your car setup updates
Then, downloading a setup update is as simple as finding the car setup that you wish to update, and clicking the download button.
- Unzip your new car setup
Your car setup download will be zipped in a folder that has a generic title such as “BMW M4 GT3 Setup Bundle v1.9”. To view the new car setups and the detailed version number, unzip the folder.
How to know if an update is available
A foolproof way of knowing if a new car setup is available for your specific car setup or bundle is to check the product page of whichever car setup you own.
Step 1
You can do this by either going to the car setup page on our website. Or you can use the link in your dashboard or email. Below is a sample email. To access the product page click the name of the setup or bundle you purchased.
Step 2
Once you have loaded the setup page for the setup you purchased, scroll down to the description. Underneath the description of the setup or bundle, you will see a section labelled “Car Setup Updates“.
In this section, you can see all car setups that have been released for that specific setup or bundle. The top update will always be the latest car setup.
Step 3
If there is a setup update available in the description, you can follow the steps detailed above on how to download your free setup updates.
How long can I download free setup updates?
When you buy a car setup from us, you qualify for free car setups indefinitely. This means that you can continue to download car setups for a specific car setup or bundle as long as that car is available on our website.
If there is a major update, such as the v1.9 update for Assetto Corsa Competizione, new setups will be created. Big game updates like this mean older car setups become unsupported.
In this scenario, as an example, if you owned the v1.8 BMW M4 GT3 car setup, you would need to re-purchase the v1.9 BMW M4 GT3 car setup bundle.
Thankfully, big game updates like this come along very rarely. The gap between Assetto Corsa Competizione v1.8 and v1.9 updates as an example was around 19 months.
