Yeah i played some more and holy **** its a scarey ride, all aids off ofcourse apart from auto clutch.
It really is a great mod.

I bought myself a new gfx card and 29" 2560x1080 ultrawide ips monitor for gaming and games look and play brilliantly now but more than any genre racing sims look and play amazing.
AC,GSC extreme and ETS2 are on a totally new level from my old 24"1920X1200 monitor,immersion goes through the roof.
Ive tried 3 screens in the past but this monitor is even better imo.

Quick snap from my eyeline with phone camera giving a rough idea of my pov.

attatchment might give better idea

You can say that again! Did a few installation laps at spa and thought, right I got this, time for a race at Suzuka! 30 minutes later after doing 30 restarts im not so sure I just couldnt get Degner 1 right, off after off.. Theres dodgy collision detection at that track too, put a couple of wheels off on some corners and smash into an invisible wall...:(

Still, Points I loved were the starts, it feels so real, just like what I saw last year. Hold the revs at the correct amount, click into first when the red lights go out and keep that wheel spin to a minimum clicking through the gears as quick as you can. The sound is beautiful, low down growl as the motor bogs a little then whoosh! You're off!

It can get away from you in fast corners too if you keep the boot down, through Dunlop I got lazy and kept the throttle pinned as I drove around the left hander. The rears lost traction and I ended up in a long powerslide that I couldn't recover from..

You definately need your wits about you driving these beasts.

Dream pack DLC finally got announced.

It's out next week on the 11th of March, it will cost €14.99 normally but there's a 33% discount up until the release.

Pre purchased this yesterday. I f*ckin hate DLC but curiosity got the better of me. I cant wait to see what their creation of The Green Hell is like and the Sauber C9 too. Oh and 4wd too. The modding community will explode!

ScumLord

There was a video of someone doing a lap in the corvette up on youtube briefly (it included the shortened GP track as part of it). It was supposedly the beta version as it had some weird brake markers on the track but it looked incredible. It almost looked like a completely different track compared to Snoopys version. I couldn't get over how different it looked, it looks much narrower, trees look incredible and there's so many of them.

I really can't wait for it.

For some reason I had it in my head that the Dream Pack was free to early access buyers. Obviously not.

No, Spa, the SLS and I think the La ferrari were all supposed to be the first DLC but they gave it out for free.

This is actually the second DLC but there is a load more free DLC coming like zandvoort.

Can wait to drive the tourist nordschleife.

Bought the dream pack too. Mainly for the GTR and the Ring. Hopefully its great because after all the spamming Kunos were doing on their facebook page I was getting very sick of it.

Here is a video mentioned above.

Doubt ill make a purchase, most of the content in this is available from the modding community already and is of a pretty high quality.

From watching the video of the Nords, it's a completely different kettle of fish to Snoopies modded version. It's worth €10 on it's own in my mind. Outside of the corvette I haven't seen any of the other cars modded.

Nanastick

Only one more day.

ScumLord

It's looking damned pretty with it's new graphics updates too.

That would be epic.

I'm not sure but I think they mentioned the tourist version would work just like the real thing, I think there's four layouts in total.

No chance. It's more than likely going to come out at 6pm GMT tomorrow.

Mike Litoris

Anyone else tried it yet? The sound of that Alfa 155 in the replays is fantastic especially when the car passes a static camera. They've done an incredible job with the Nurb too.


I've noticed mod cars no longer work.

ScumLord

I had a go in most of the cars. Sounds are great, I got a big increase in FPS too, dropped vsync altogether now. Full grid on the nords was only costing me about 20fps over driving alone. With the massive increase in FPS I was able to increase reflection AA and still get over 100fps with a full grid.

loving this DLC, the Nurburgring is a feckin masterpiece

I have to agree with you Gim. Its awesome.

Nanastick

Same Scumlord I got a huge increase. Especially online.

ScumLord

I had a race with the Alpha GTA, I put in two 4c's as well. The alpha is great fun to throw around nordschleife but the AI is still a bit dumb. I got past all of them by lap two and near the end of lap three one of the 4c's came up and just sat behind me. Even on the long straight at the end with my car damaged and unable to go past 180kph it stuck right behind me braking.

The little alpha is incredible, it's ideal for the nordschleife, to easy to get carried away sliding it around corners though.

Mike Litoris

Yep, the AI is as bad as ever. When I first got the DLC I hadn't access to my G27 so I let all the new cars race the Nurb to have a look/listen. They wouldn't overtake each other unless one made a mistake. The Sauber C9 was stuck behind the Alfa 155 until it got to the long back straight near the end of the lap.

Dcully

Yep the AI is by far the weakest part of AC,id worry if it will ever get to a decent level.
AI in GSC and formula truck is fantastic,if AC got anywhere near as good id be very happy.

ScumLord

At least they've stop doing the pit manover, now they just intimidate you by sticking to your rear bumper. I did the career race with the formula abarth, I'm having real problems with the magione race, they seem to be much faster on the straights, I just can't keep up.

I haven't tried the new AI on a normal track, it might be a bit better, their useless on the nords. Going to be doing my first online race tonight, it's more of a track day though, people can use whichever of the DLC cars they want. As long as online has fixed some of the collision problems that will keep me happy for a while.

Dcully

Having a lot of fun on this hillclimb track recently.

not my vid or setup unfortunately.

Dcully

Im actually finding the ai in AC better than PCARS now ive put plenty of time into both.

Speaking of racing ai in AC.

That was great to watch!! Wheel to wheel looks way improved but they still seem reluctant to battle each other except for the back straight. I still pretty much just hotlap. Really don't get to drive enough though.:(


BTW I hope that's not that guys nose in the bottom left of the camera.

Dcully

The Lambo`s are coming !!!
