Assetto Corsa news

[vobler]

I dunno, this is probably the most frustrating way possible they could have chosen to release this sim.  arrrg

Yeah, I didn't see that coming. Oh well iRacing, with the last tire model is awesome.
So I think I will stay there until AC is solid, with MP and up and running at dMr.

I will get it when possible though, if only to have something to complain about.

[vobler]

It is available on Steam now.

So no one got it?

I did, it got a lot of bugs (typical Kunos). but if multiplayer is good when released, it will be great.

Not yet, very tempted but may give it a while to settle down, hearing a few people noticing a drop in fps after the latest patch and I was borderline smooth with the tech preview or I may have to upgrade a few bits first!

[Seany]

yeah I got it

Seems good, a bit over whelming to really say what the FFB/handling is like yet.  

Main problems at the moment are:
My TrackIr is very screwy, It detects Assetto as Lockon and some of my Axis are mixed up.  Do you use TrackIR Vobler?   If ya do, could you let me know how it is for you?
Very poor clutch/transmission/ignition simulation.  Although I have been using Paddles so far.
Contrast/Exposure is extreme in some cases
Antialiasign is not working well, there is a lot of shimmering etc.
Engine sounds are a bit uninspiring in some cars ( other SFX are very good though)
No multiplayer

I was surprised none of the cars really "Bit me" when I first took them for a spin. EG like the first time in the FO8 or XRT:- I never put the boot down and then thought, "Woah, I'm gonna have to be carefull with that!".  I expected the Lotus 49 to be like that.  But perhaps the cars have very safe default setups?  

Anyways, I have a lot more testing to do yet before I get a real feel for it.

I'm not using Trackir anymore in Race sims since I have 3 monitors.

I also had probems with shimmering and AA. Editing the Video.ini to
AASAMPLES=4 and under effects FXAA=6
This gives better, but not perfect AA.

I don't have any clutch issues.( as I have noticed) I can shift most cars (manual) without using clutch, but you need to do rev matching or the gear will grind and not go in.
Yeah the 49 is very easy. I wish it was more like the iRacing 49. That car is very nice now. But many of the other cars is great. I love the small Lotuses (?) and the KTM.

The more I drive it, the better it gets. I have never before felt the grip so good as here. Amazing.
But we just have to wait and see. The MP might destroy everything. Who knows....

3 monitors Nice .  I have been following the forum and I also saw about those .ini tweaks, which is cool.  In fact you can even go to AASAMPLES=8.


 I fixed my H shifter earlier so I can try to see what proper manual is like now.
At least they are releasing fixes quickly.  I think we are on patch number 3 so far to day

[vobler]

Seany,

The devs just replyed to your message about TrackIr, saying it is a "Known Issue"

[Lameduck]

Just like Live for Speed 'eh? :nope:

[vobler]

ehem,

new update!
well Deetz, what is next weeks challenge?

[Deetz]

Well, it appears Vobler   wins week 1. (X-Bow round Imola.)

If it's my choice I'll be picking the lightweight cars everywhere. I like the Lotus 11 round Imola, but we have done that track.

mmmm. For Seany.M92 Step 1 round Mugello

1:21:336 current PB, after a few exploratory laps.

Knock yourselves out.

Mine was 2.18.3- Are you sure that is the correct combo/time?

[Deetz]

mmm.

You are right Verner, don't know where I plucked that time from.

Should be 2:17.093

I thought a minute something seemed a bit quick when I posted it.... I should have double checked.

[Deetz]

ok, 8 more laps today and a new PB to beat.

2:16.1    :boxing:

More to come, but not huge amounts. Its tricky to string that perfect lap together... One reason I like this game, its a challenge.

[vobler]

ok, my current pb;
1:16.88
