Communication via UDP

Unlike visual mods, Assetto Corsa plugins often operate as external applications that “listen” to the game server’s data stream. This communication happens via a local UDP port.
1

Configure server_cfg.ini

Locate the [UDP_PLUGIN] section in your configuration file.
2

Define Port Handshake

Ensure that the UDP_PLUGIN_LOCAL_PORT (on the server) matches the receiving port defined in your plugin’s configuration file.
3

Set Address

For plugins running on the same host, the UDP_PLUGIN_ADDRESS is typically set to 127.0.0.1.

Essential Community Plugins

We recommend the following plugins for maintaining a professional racing environment.
The gold standard for statistics. Stracker documents every lap time, fuel consumption metric, and race result into a local database, allowing you to host a public “Leaderboard” website for your server.

​
Content Manager Server Wrapper

If you are using the Content Manager Server Wrapper on your FREAKHOSTING server, many of these plugins can be enabled and configured directly through the integrated web interface, removing the need for manual file editing.
