First Dev video released and some other pic's

Nice!!! When is this gonna be released, the wait is torture. The Tech Preview just left me gagging for more!!!

ScumLord

I wasn't all that impressed by the tech preview. Maybe it was just that car but I didn't really like the feel of the game.

The car/track combo wasn't great in fairness but i was impressed by the FFB and the general feel of it. The weight of the car and how it shifts around while cornering seemed to be really done IMO.

ScumLord

I didn't spend too much time with it, I've been busy with RBR lately. I'll buy it purely on the strength of Netkar pro though. Still one of my favourites.

ScumLord

It's out!

A beta/early release type affair.

Darwin

Can't wait to try this out, will be tomorrow at this stage due to my crappy broadband. Hearing great things about it on virtualr.net

ScumLord

Its class, it feels much better than rf2 and looks incredible.

Darwin

Had a good few laps of Silverstone today, 3D vision and trackIR both work great although I had to edit the onboard camera config file to get more sensitive head movement. Graphics are incredible and the general handling of the various cars is fantastic. I am really surprised how much understeer the Ferrari has, but I'm using the stock setups. One thing I've noticed is strange oscillations on my wheel , but reducing the FFB gain to < 40% seems to fix it.

Dcully

How is the AI guys?

Darwin

No AI yet but they are promising bi-monthly updates so hopefully won't be too long of a wait.

M00lers

Bloodly hell, what a gem of a sim!

Rossi IRL

downloaded this myself and im not impressed with the graphics,

maybe its just not noticing my nvidia graphics card even though i have it set to it

kaimera

Quite like the Tauttus (sp?), nice open wheeler

and Imola is very sweet.

Only using the 360 pad atm

What GPU have you? The AA isn't great in AC.

Try this.
Go to C:\Users\......\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg
Open the file called video and change AASAMPLES to 8 and FXAA to 6.
Should look a good bit better.

Its a 3GB GTX 770m

It should be more than enough

To me this game just looks like Race 07 and i dont think it should look like that

Its not that bad with the above tweak, but you have to remember that there isn't some massive dev house making it, it's a dozen or so dudes trying there best. I think it looks better than RF2, okay its no PCARS but more than acceptable IMO.

There are still a few issue with AA and the HDR stuff, this is an early release after all.

It certainly doesn't look anything like race 07, I think it's a great looking sim, easily one of the best looking sims out there.

Turning off motion blur has helped some people.

ScumLord

Just tried out photo mode for the first time last night. (You have to edit the assetto corsa file in steamapps)

You can take some fantastic photos and have a lot of control over the image, like FOV, HDR, Bloom, time of day all can be changed to get the look you want. I thought it only worked for taking stills but you can maintain the angle and effects and let the replay play on.

I could lose hours in the photo mode alone.

Ok cool but show some of your Pic's I've bought it on Steam but I've had no time to download it yet.

First update tomorrow. It looks like we're getting the zonda R, P4/5 and Lotus 2-11. Mugello and a drift track. I was hoping for Trento-Bondone hillclimb stage from NetKar pro but it doesn't look like it's happening this time around.

It also looks like there will be a drift mode scoring system, new showrooms and a load of sound updates.

kaimera

Quite like this game, a lot actually...keep getting texts from my friend with lap times that I've to go try beat. ****er

Also, there's a hack to enable tv cam for cars for those that like to use it. Tho I'm getting used to driver or bonnet cam the more I play

kaimera

hmm...handling changed a bit with the update?

Cars seemed very skittish last night when I had a bash.

Audio is very sweet, the engine sounds in particular in car.

ScumLord

I've been trying to beat the achievements that came out in the update.

Apparently the one named "Beat the driver who shall not be named", is the Stigs time in the 458 at imola. He got a 1.55.6. The closet I've been able to get so far is a 1.58.1.

Tried the "Old GPers know why this is important" a 1.30.0, but again I'm 2-3 seconds off at 1.32.4.

ScumLord

It look like we're getting Silverstone GP, Lotus Exige roadster and the Mclaren 12C.

I haven't had any interest in the lotus cars so far so I'm not that excited by that but looking forward to trying this McLaren.

kaimera

hmm..my controller settings seems very off tonight.

the mclaren I couldnt get to turn a corner in 2nd gear.

must go check the forums

Darwin

Looking forward to the first release with AI, only so much hotlapping one can do! Dare I say it, but quite enjoying F1 2013 until then.

The McLaren is a very different beast to the Ferrari. Each car is so different to the last. I haven't looked too much into the traction control systems but it does make a difference on the McLaren, it turns in a lot better.

I'm still trying to beat the stig achievement. I'm less than .2 of a second away.

This was terrible. In car I could see it was taking forever for him to turn the wheel; would never make a corner like.

ScumLord

Radiator springs have released a live timing app.

You can compare your times on http://www.radiators-champ.com/RSRLiveTiming/ too.

ScumLord

The Ferrari F40 arrives on Friday, more than likely we'll get Monza. The rest is a bit vague but possibly the BMW Z4 GT car too.

Still no racing yet, AI is close but not ready yet.


Can't wait to try this Ferrari, watched a Chris Harris video on it and apparently it's the greatest supercar ever made.

kaimera

Drag strip v AI (i think or is it ghost car?)

I'm so slow at reacting off the line

F40 is viscous tho

ScumLord

The drag strip is AI. I'm using a clutch trying to find the bite point but I'm making a mess of it most times.

The Ferrari is a handful, brakes have certainly improved a lot since that car was made. It feels light and nibble though.

Assetto Corsa is in a sale on Steam right now. Down to €26. Offer ends tomorrow.

kaimera

F40 with no assists on is very much a handful; you know it's an older car!

Must try with the wheel later...and look into the using a clutch too.

bah can't assign a button to the clutch, needs to be a axis. Driving forceGT here.

so the mclaren is still ****, does not want to turn.

the 599xx is a sexy beast.

the f40...worth it for the sound alone. amazing. the turbo whistle when on full boost, the actual turbo lag, no proper brakes but such a hoot.

it's a pity the UI is still so flaky for me, specially trying to set up controls.

The F40 is always ready to bite, you just can't get comfortable with it at all. The minute I relax in that car the turbos try to kill me.

the 599xx is a sexy beast.

Very nice drive.


I wonder which of these cars will be able to race each other?

kaimera

Think I sorted some mild issues with DFGT.

Thought the logitech sw I had for the kb/mouse would do for the wheel but I still needed the old profiler program.

Set up 900 degree steering and big improvement in how the cars handle in game. Still would like the tiptronic shifter to work and some more buttons but down the line I guess.

Spent ages on the drag racing. Cannot for the life of me win in the Zonda R...but the others where I can tweak aero for better traction and such are good.

Gas to see the reaction time go up and up after a few beers

Dcully

When is AI being added guys?

ScumLord

Somethings happening on the 31st but outside of that being the release of Ai/Multi it's probably going to be mid January.

The Nords was announced as a DLC available in September. First laser scanned version in a sim.

Dcully

Treated myself to this today and sweet jesus its fantastic.
Physics are up there with iracing :eek: i can literally feel every nook and cranny brilliant stuff altogether!
Graphics and sound are jaw-dropping too ,roll on the AI.
The 599xx is dare i say it orgasmic to both drive and listen to , digital cocaine right there!
Delighted i didnt sell my G25 now

Dcully

€26.24 on steam for next few hours.

La Ferrari has been added to the final list of cars in the release version.

http://www.assettocorsa.net/laferrari-official-license-for-assetto-corsa/

First hybrid in the game.

kaimera

There is a rally route from RBR available for AC.

Don't have the link handy but it's quite a good track to try.

Dcully

Looking forward to the AI

ScumLord

You can turn on AI now by changing a line in one of the ini files, I tried it but the AI is obviously not finished yet. If they're in the lead they put up a decent enough battle (on some combinations of track and car, on some tracks they just go straight on at the first corner) but once you overtake them they throw a complete hissy fit and try and take you out.

I accidentally wiped my settings and lap times doing it though. It recognised the change and thought there was something wrong and I went ahead and told it to reset the account without thinking.

Dcully

Yeah ive been messing about with the AI as explained over on the RD forums but they are too erratic to bother with but the AI they are working on looks great.

ScumLord

Finally coming up to the next update (friday), I've heard rumours we'll get AI or multiplayer.

If it's multiplayer would we have the makings of a race here?

Darwin

I'm pretty crap tbh, but if multiplayer comes out on the next release, I would be happy to join in for a laugh.

ScumLord

The fiat abarth was fun to race in netkar, it's slow speed means you can save most errors before disaster.
